Danger!

Risk of accident
due to automatic starting-off

when engine is running.
Injury hazard
due to

crimped connection and combustion when

meshing during starting procedure or when

engine is running

Remove/install/replace valve seal.

AR05.30-P-3500B

Cause 6:
Remedy 6:

00 001 70
1.5 mm hole missing on individual right

cylinder head covers at connection to

crankcase ventilation.
1
Check cylinder head cover

Up to production 06/1999.

Crankcase ventilation out of order, engine can

sludge up and consume oil as a result

Cylinder head cover not okay:

AR01.20-P-5014B

Cause 7:
Remedy 7:

00 001 70
Engine oil sludging due to excessively long

engine oil change intervals
Service information: Oil sludge

SI18.00-P-0010A

If the service interval according to

ASSYST is exceeded, the engine oil sludges

up sooner or later depending on the oil

quality, type of operation and operating time.

Engine consumes oil.

See Service Information.

1
Print out ASSYST printout.

2
Check oil change intervals

3
Inform vehicle owner.

4
Remove/install/replace piston rings.

AR03.10-P-7311BV

Disassemble and clean sludged engines

completely because dirty oil usually gets into

clean-oil side due to clogged oil filter.

Cause 8:
Remedy 8:

00 001 70
Piston rings sticky or have coke deposits from

engine oils (e.g. API-S in USA) in connection

with regionally poor fuel quality.

Always use engine oils according to

Specifications for Operating Fluids 229.3, do

not add special additives to engine oil and fuel

BB00.40-P-0229-03A

1
Remove/install/replace piston rings.

AR03.10-P-7311BV

Cause 9:
Remedy 9:

00 001 70
Piston ring wear due to excessive

contamination/dust (model 163) through air

intake system.
1
Remove/install/replace gaskets on air

intake line and distribution element of

partial load ventilation.

e.g. due to incorrect assembly after

workshop visit or embrittlement of gaskets
The distribution element with optimized

material will be available as of 11/ 2000 as a

standard feature.

2
Remove/install/replace intake module.

Exterior oil loss, e.g. due to cast iron

porosity on left side of crankcase in area of

engine support is not considered to be oil

consumption

In the event of a customer complaint

regarding the engine oil consumption, always

determine the oil consumption definitely

because the oil indicator lamp can come on

due to other causes (e.g. defective oil sensor).

FRESH/RECIRCULATION SWITCH
Fresh/recirculation switch controls voltage signal to fresh air recirculation door motor. See Fig. 1 and Fig. 2 .
With switch indicator light on, air will recirculate. With switch indicator light off, air will enter from outside of
vehicle.
A/C CONTROL MODULE
The A/C control module (A/C amplifier) is the control unit for the A/C system. See Fig. 2 . The module
receives inputs from various sensors and processes the information to control various outputs for the A/C
system for optimal control.
The A/C control module inputs are as follows:
A/C Switch
In-Vehicle Air Temperature Sensor
Temperature Selector Knob
Blower Motor Knob
Evaporator Temperature Sensor
Air Mix Damper Door Position Sensor
The A/C control module output functions are as follows:
Air Mix Damper Door Motor
All Activity Module
Fresh/Recirculation Door Motor
ALL ACTIVITY MODULE
All Activity Module (AAM) receives inputs to determine if specified conditions have been met to allow
operation of A/C-heater system. If conditions are met, the AAM will send signals to the A/C compressor,
condenser fans relay and the blower motor relay to command or enable operation.
IN-VEHICLE TEMPERATURE SENSOR
The in-vehicle temperature sensor is a negative temperature coefficient resistor. Sensor sends signals to the A/C
control module to maintain in-vehicle temperature. Sensor is located on the center panel of the instrument
cluster.
DUST FILTER
A dust filter provides filtering of air entering or recirculating in the passenger's compartment. The dust filter is
mounted between blower motor and evaporator, below passen
ger's side of instrument panel, to left of blower
