I hope you still read comments. My C230 is having some electrical issue where accesories are not working when I'm driving(window, radio stuttering, headlights on for few sec then off longer, turn signals are not consistent when being used) I have changed the alternator and it worked for a day but the issue came back again. All those accessories work when the engine is not running, only in battery mode/accesory mode.
Have you checked your battery? When a battery is failing, the onboard computers and electronics can go crazy even if you've replaced the alternator. I've had this happen to a BMW.
My 2001 C200K M111 engine won't start properly. No consistency in the process. It might stall a bit at start up and loss of power while driving. Again, not all the time. I'm suspecting that this might be the culprit. Is there a way to diagnose the flap?
Sorry for the late reply. I imagine that you have already solved this problem by now. Either way, the only surefire way to see if the flap is malfunctioning is to read the engine codes. The check engine light will illuminate and give you codes related to the flap. From there it's a matter of checking circuitry and the flap itself.
do it ! Yup. I cleaned it well and even took it apart to clean the inside as well. Anything to avoid spending money, however even after cleaning it, the flap would fail about 10 mins into a drive. Replacing it was the best option.
When you install the new one you need to mate it to the ECU or anything? Mine would fail sometimes mainly in the morning I would have to pull over to the car off and do the reset procedure and it would come back and work fine for a while sometimes a couple days sometimes weeks. I bought a new one it wasn't OEM and when I installed it the flapper was just bouncing like crazy no matter what I did I'm thinking of returning it and just getting a used unit.
Hello Michael. Once you install the new recirculation flap, there is no need to mate or reprogram the ECU. BUT, you do have to do a "re-learn" process with the new flap mechanism. Just make sure you clear the codes on the computer after replacing the new part. The issue with the flap is that once you install the flap and plug in the connections, you do have to adapt the flap. That's probably why yours didn't work. Here's a link that tells you how to re-adapt the new part. It's going to be the very first post. (basically you are going to need two people for this job and it's very easy. With the car off, one person is going to move the flap so that it opens about a half inch. Then they are going to hold it at that position. You are then going to turn the ignition to the 2nd position for 15 seconds right before starting the car. Do not crank the engine! Once you have turned the key to the 2nd position the flap will move by itself and the other person can let go of the flap. Please read the instructions in the link, they will tell you how long to leave the ignition on for each section). mbworld.org/forums/c-class-w203/238472-learning-recirculated-air-flap-air-flap-reset-procedure-m111.html

The old one was giving me a P0410 code. The flap would stay open at cold start and it triggered the check engine light. Also the biggest noticeable symptom was a massive loss of power.
I'm not really sure to be honest. I imagine there would be a lot of manufacturing of parts from a new crank pulley to the brackets for the supercharger and the intercooler.
The M111 engine itself is practically bullet proof. In other words, it's a strong and reliable engine. Things to watch out for is the recirculating air flap. This part is part of the supercharger and emission systems and tends to fail on most cars. It's a common problem that is easy to fix. The coil packs tend to fail sooner than later as well and replacing those are easy. Other than that it's a great and fun car. If you can get one with a 6 speed manual that would be even better.
Hi. I have a secondary air injection code p0410. And my car feels so much slower. Like u said it feels heavy and it doesn’t wanna go with I give it gas. Do I need to change the same part as you?
Hello. Yes you would have to change that part with a new one. You can also try cleaning the butterfly valve and do the reset procedure to see if the code clears. But most likely, the code will reappear again unless you install a new part and re-adapt the bypass valve.
I hope you still read these comments. My c230 runs rough for about 30 seconds on cold start then runs fine and when i floor it it falls into some kind of limp mode and starts running rough as it does on a cold start,i have to pull over shut the car off and restart it to get it running good. And i do find it looses a bit of power here and there. Any help is much appreciated!!
@@jimjam1224 it is a kompressor coupe and the check engine light is on,also the srs light but if i'm not mistaking that has to do with the airbags sensor
@@you_mtt3r477 Ok I would definitely scan the car for codes. That's going to give you a big clue. At this moment, it could be the flap that controls the boost which is what I talk about in this video. But without codes, we are going to be guessing. See if you scan the car for codes.
Hi I hope you see this comment I have the same engine on my Mercedes c200 kompressor and it is unstable when idle it sometimes goes above and below 10rpm when driving causing it rev up and down even when the gas pedal is not pressed what could be the problem?
An illuminated check engine light with an emissions code, loss of power due to the boost venting or escaping into the atmosphere, and poor gas mileage. The most noticeable symptom is loss of power. The car will feel slow. When you press the accelerator pedal, the car will feel as if it weighs 20 tons. You will have almost no passing power as well.
@@jimjam1224 Mine is C200K and it does not show engine light, however I notice the mileage is as good as before. Usually I got 9-11 ltr/100km, now it is 11-13 ltr/100km. Should I ask the mechanic to replace that like yours?
@@azmd888 A cars gas mileage isn't enough to determine whether you should replace the recirculation Air Flap. If your car has lost 40 to 50% of its power and the check engine light is on, then yes. Have you done a tune up on your car?
"Shiny New One"....seems they cost about 1200-$1500. Did you find a reasonably priced source? I pulled one from a picknpull car, lasted a few months....wondering if it's possible to repair...
Yes I did find a reasonably priced source and trust me, it wasn't the dealer. I bought it from I believe partsgeek. I don't remember. But I paid around $375 for the part. Yeah I thought about pulling one from a salvage yard, but I realized that this was a common problem and I'd just be replacing a defective part with another defective part. If you're planning on keeping the car, just buy it brand new. Just remember that you're gonna have to re-adapt the flap once you install it. I installed mine and after adapting the new flap, the car ran amazing!
When you searched what search phrase did you use? Somewhere along the line I wrote down the pn as A1110980109. Old part doesn't have a readable PN on it. What PN did you use? No more free EPC accounts.... Also are you on the forums? Mbworld or benzworld? What's you username?
I don't think they even have those available. In any event, it's better to just buy the actual part because the computer needs to communicate with the air flap and a mechanical one wouldn't be able to do that.
Symptoms are rough idle, very poor gas mileage, 50-60% loss of power, and a P0410 code from the scan tool. The code will cause your car to fail emissions since the air flap is involved in supplying fresh air into the exhaust system at cold start.
www.ebay.com/itm/152685059224. Just an advisory, please don't purchase third party parts. If possible purchase the original part as these cars don't do well with cheap parts. After installing the flap and plugging in your battery, you have to re-adapt the new flap and clear the codes. If you don't, you'll be back at square one.
Hi bro. i am from Kazakhstan and i ur subscriber. And thanks to ur all videos. Can i ask u 1 question. i have w203 mercedes with m111 evo 2.0 l gasoline engine Kompressor, and i have 1 problem. P0234 - Solenoid Turbocharger A , how fix this sht((( i was tryed to fix. but i cant. Please help me and thanks!
It's Ok. Thank you for subscribing. Much appreciated. It seems like the actuator may be stuck closed causing an overboost situation. Make sure you check the electrical connections from both the wire harness and the connector from the actuator itself. Then take the actuator out and inspect it for any dirt or residue that could be causing the flap from actually opening and closing smoothly. The next best thing to do is to run a live scan on the car while driving. On the scan tool, select the recirculation air flap parameter and check the percentage while driving the car. If the percentage does not change when the car is under load (driving it aggressively) then the actuator could be bad and needs to be replaced with a genuine part. If you buy cheap or aftermarket, the flap will work for a weeks and then it will fail again.
Comparison or not, if the flap is already giving you issues, you're better off getting a new one. I've tried cleaning the flap and it works fine for about a week before the flap stays open and vents all the boost into the atmosphere. Eventually the flap will not function anymore and no amount of cleaning is going to make it work. Hope that helps.
@@jimjam1224 Thanks. I had this problem sometimes (loss of power, no kompressor), it was horrible to drive like that, especially on a highway... Re-learning the flap always helped (15-5-45-5 sec). Recently I am having idle issues (M111 engine), about 1 of 10 engine start it's struggling very much to keep idle, even I got cyl misfire codes as rev falls so low in the struggle, car is shaking by the engine, etc. But I don't think it's the recirc flap, but the air mass sensor. During drive it's ok, but idle is horrible. The other 9 of 10 it is just fine: no issues, smooth idle.
@@jimjam1224i changed this air flap actuator and after 1 month it's giving errors again why? When the car is turned on 75% of the air flap is closed is that normal?
I would change spark plugs, fuel filter, intake air filter, coil packs, and clean the MAF sensor. The spark plug coils at your mileage tend to crack from underneath and can cause a rough idle.

I would change spark plugs, fuel filter, intake air filter, coil packs, and clean the MAF sensor. The spark plug coils at your mileage tend to crack from underneath and can cause a rough idle.
Good advise. Replace the plugs every 40-50K miles tops, and save your coils from failing. Plugs are cheapest on ebay.
