Hi Guys. Update on my previous comment. I succeeded to replace and connect loose or damaged vacuum lines, and the one I mentioned before goes to the firewall, but I don't know what is doing there. Anyway, the back headrests still do not work after this. Regarding the connector to the switchover valve, the reddish wire (red and green I think) is always negative, but the other one which is grey or white with an orange or brown line (not easy to define unless I cut the protection), don't have the positive during the first few minutes of a cold start, or so. I inspected all the relays and fuses in the boot and at the front and, in addition, two of them (K and R) were tested while plugged. Thanks, doit for your video on disassembling the intake manifold, which I partly followed to do the job. The greyish wire coming from the switchover valve seems to end up at the front fuse box; I tested one with a similar colour and it has 12V positive but it is for way too long after the engine starts. What makes me confused is that this same wire appears to have continuity with the one in the connector! I need to double-check that. I don't know yet how to connect the vacuum gauge. By the way, I have not yet tested the car on the motorway, but the idle is definitely more consistent. Regards.

Great video and very good instructions! You helped me to repair my 2002 CLK C200. Thank You very much! My best wishes for You from Finland. Keep going :)

[@doit_vehicles]

You're welcome! glad it helped

[@robertsekrst8020]

Just a site note. You dont have to remove the supply line. You just unscrew the check valve. You can do it if you make a special key by cutting a head of a if i remember 27 wrench. Mercedes mechanics of cors have access to original removal tool. The real problem is in the valve. Cleaning wont help. Its a design flaw. Over time the rubber seals wear out and the exhaust fumes will over time destroy your second purge valve. Tipically the last 60 - 80k miles. I think I have a masters degree for secondary air injection troubleshooting, as how long it took to find the problem :D

Thank you It helped me get a good idea of the AIS system.

[@doit_vehicles]

I am glad to hear that !

[@fbaldus]

Did this today, to clean the check valve you do not need to remove the torx holding the pipe line or check valve, just raise the car, and remove the big 27 bolt holding the fitting, you will have enough space from underneath, remove the perforated bolt, careful not to loose the two crush washers, one behind the head side and one on the other side of pipe. take a peace of 5 by 5 inch aluminum foil and slide it between the pipe and the intake manifold side, to block anything you will spray through the check valve. I used a pulverizer gun and gasoline to clean the check valve which was almost completely clogged. all the junk came out of the pipe, the aluminum foil sheets blocks all this junk from entering the exhaust system. Done! no more insufficient secondary air flow code.

[@doit_vehicles]

nice work !

[@emirwati]

Hi, doit. I always like to come back to your videos. I still have this car. After one year I have not discovered why the switchover valve connector doesn't have 12 volts when the car starts cold. Besides the three vacuum lines that go in/out of the switchover valve, there is a fourth vacuum line hanging loose underneath the top assembly, which is connected near the vacuum line plastic tube coming from the switchover valve. I don't know where the other end should go. Any help to solve these issues is welcome. Related to this matter is how to connect a vacuum gauge in this car to do a diagnostic check. Take care doit and guys, your contributions are very helpful.

[@5namtab]

big fan frpm day one!!! Can you do a troubleshoot video of the fuel gauge ? my car goes out of fuel 5 km after the reserve light has com on. Thanks in advance.... I know it might take some time. Cheers and very informative video as usual !!!

[@doit_vehicles]

Hei ! thanks for beeing around . It sounds like there is a issue with the fuel level indicator ; until I do a video about that , you might wanna check the fuel pump assembly and test the fuel level potentiometer . Is the same as a throttle body or acceleration pedal or any other sensor Here is how to remove the fuel pump with the fuel level sensor : kzbin.info/www/bejne/jaqwk6N_idufiKM Cheers !

Hi, I know you must be busy so maybe someone else can help me with this question and do a small test for me. When I unplug the harness from the switchover valve and test the two wires I'm getting 4 volts on one wire and 11 volts on the other wire, does anyone know if the voltage is correct or should I be getting 12 volts and ground?

Hello great video, it explained much more clearly what I needed to check, to get rid of my PO410 code. When I cleared my PO410 code, I can drive for miles 300 miles or more, but sometimes I can only drive 75 miles or less before it sets the PO410 code again. I checked everything just like you showed in the video, I have vacuum where I suppose to have vacuum, and I have pressure where I need to have pressure (on the hoses you showed). The solenoid works properly, for the required amount of time, ( I did this check after allowing the car stand over night.) Code PO 410 keeps coming back, I started having this problem at the beginning of the summer it was fine all last winter. I would appreciate any help with this problem, Thank You in advance.

[@doit_vehicles]

if you say that all the tests were done ; what's left is to get a scan tool with live data and do a diagnose , see what happens when the code is trigered ( LTFT STFT ) But do you have the same engine ? or the v6 with the air pump

Brother do you know about cold engine vibration? I have a Mercedes w203 c220 cdi. When the engine is cold, there is a strong vibration and Rpm is moving a little up and down in idle but after 30 minutes when it's warm ,the vibration is not any more. I have replaced both engine mounts , spark plugs, and a used egr installed. The car also smells badly when is start . Can you please help me?

Blessing I have a 2005 ml350 W163 code P0412 secondary injection pump valve A malfunction, the pump runs every time the engine is cold all fuses are good my problem is I'm not getting 12volts at the solenoid when I crank the engine. Your answer is highly appreciated.

[@doit_vehicles]

Try to inspect the wires for the selenoid to the PCM ; Is it sure that the selenoid is not activated by during a cold start ? in the video about the Oxygen sensor I do that . Basically you cehck if there is any short or damaged wires betwen the selenoid connector and the computer . Thats the only thing I can think of with these symptoms you told me .

[@Abangnelayan]

I have C240 2007 w203 112 engine, I have problem when the engine is running, the car shaking, I tried to unplug all coil, seems like 3 coils are broken, i have changed with new coil. but the problem is still the same. The engine on low RPM shakes the car a lot, after I try to speed in a free way, the RPM can go high as I kick down the throttle, but the speed and the power of the car wont go up. any idea why this is happening?

[@doit_vehicles]

there must be done some proper testing beggining with checking the live data and read any possible codes .. it's impossible to guess what's the issue .

[@Abangnelayan]

@@doit_vehicles I scanned it, it says some voltage issues spark plug) but I'm not sure about that, because after a while the engine runs normal. I tried to start the engine in the morning, same problems, engine stalling, but the engine is still on, no check engine light at the dash. I turned off the car, take out the key, and start the engine again, now the engine runs normal again.. I'm so confused

[@quentinLsmith]

Can you tell me where the bottom hose of the switch over valve connects to please?

Hi, great videos, really useful!! What scan tool / app do you use to monitor the oxygen sensor operation? Can you use the Torque android app and a generic bluetooth ELM324 OBDII adaptor?

[@doit_vehicles]

Hei ! I am glad it's helpfull ) Can you tell what are the symptoms and if you have a Intake Manifold Runner Control system ( the extra flaps inside the intake manifold ) For example I do not have that.

[@ДенисЙотов-й5х]

@@doit_vehicles Well on cold engine when accelerate hard instead of more power the front end stomps to the ground. If I accelerate slowly everything is ok. It feels like there is some vacuum leak from somewhere. Changed the MAF with new, cleaned the throttle body, yet the problem still there. Not variable RPMs on start up.

[@doit_vehicles]

If you suspect a vacuum leak spray some gasoline around that area while watching the oxygen sensor response or LTFT STFT .. Fuel pressure under a load might be also a factor ..

Thanks as always for another great video, love my c230k and these help me keep her on the road! I do have a side question, do you know what part of the intake assembly would be called the "intake manifold runner control" valve?

[@doit_vehicles]

Cool ! Very good cars and nice to work with .That's like another throttle on each cylinder at the end of the air intake manifold . Like my car does not have that - It uses the main electronic throttle to regulate the air pressure in the intake

[@Ratkill]

@@doit_vehicles It turns out the cheap OBD tool was pointing to the supercharger waistgate being "stuck open". Took me entirely way too long to realise code description was just a generic reference X

[@omarez6896]

Was your faultcode p2006???my car (c200 kompressor)does not start with cold engine.i have to crank it for about 6 minutes before it starts.when engine is a littlebit warm it starts perfect...i was trying to find this'manifold runner control valve'

[@emirwati]

Hi doit_vehicles I got a P0410 code related to the Secondary Air Injection System. I followed your video and, apparently, all these valves work. I could only find (confirmed) that there is no power in the switchover connector when I start the engine cold. What shall I do next? Thanks in advance.

[@doit_vehicles]

Hei ! It's quite hard to tell without seeing the car , did you check as well the canister ? also check if you have another selenoid attached to the canister (some models have it ) And if you have a scan tool you might check the freeze frame ..

[@emirwati]

@@doit_vehicles Dear doit_vehicles Thanks for your reply. I have a picture, drive.google.com/open?id=1VUXg4xyCWM-91BJUrq6eu4nkLfiVZRU- ; I think my car is like yours, I don’t see any canister. I followed your video and tested the valves, the shutoff valve like you did in the snow with a syringe, but for me, in Malaysia, it was hot, no snow but mosquitoes. For the check valve, I used a bicycle pump connected to the pipe and the air was flowing. For the switchover valve, I used a multi-meter and a 12V supply; I could hear the click and there was some electric resistance. The scan tool gave me the codes P0410 (secondary air injection system) and P0172 (system too rich), that’s why I went to investigate. Finally, I noted that the connector to the switchover valve doesn't have current when I started the car from cold; I confirmed this a few times because I was afraid the multi-meter probes were not properly connected, therefore I used pins inserted into the connector. I am very grateful if you can show me the next step. Regards.

[@doit_vehicles]

Hei emirwati ; I confused the Secondary air injection system with evaporative emission control system ... sory . It's very possible from what you describe that the swithch selenoid (the one you tested ) is not allowing the air to go into the exhaust therefore the oxygen sensor is getting hot slow and the engine must run on "open loop" injecting more fuel ; So after all this the oxygen sensor whe it gets to working temperature it reads rich in fuel - therefore the code p0173 . Now the next step is to find out why there is no power at the connctor . Try to test the continuity betwen the connector from the selenoid and the one to the PCM . Than when you find out which pin are (on the PCM) do a voltage test there . That can be a first step ; A shorted wire can be a plausible cause to this issue , especially in a hot weather with mosquitoes like yours )
