Dedicated Straightening Equipment For Collision Repair
Mercedes-Benz collision repair procedures are very specific concerning the type of equipment used in the repair and reconditioning of bodies
following an accident. Mercedes-Benz collision repair procedures require that vehicles requiring structural repairs or major tensioning forces
(pulling) be repaired on a Mercedes-Benz "approved" dedicated straightening bench. "Structural" damage, for example, is any damage to axle
mounting points or side/cross members. The vehicle must be mounted and securely fastened to the dedicated straightening bench at points not
affected by the accident using the straightening brackets and the vehicle-defined mounting points. Mounting the body in this method allows for
dimension variations in the deformed parts to be immediately recognizable.
There are a number of reasons why Mercedes-Benz requires dedicated fixtures when performing certain types of repairs. When new models are
being developed, research is conducted to determine the methods which must be followed in order to restore a collision damaged vehicle. In the
process of evaluating repair practices, vehicles are crashed and repaired using various techniques including splicing in various areas, and then
crashed again in order to identify the methods that best permit that the repaired vehicle will offer the equivalent level of structural integrity as the
vehicle is originally assembled. The results of these tests are the basis for establishing Mercedes-Benz collision repair procedures.
Mercedes-Benz does not publish body dimension data nor do we approve performing comparative measurements to determine vehicle location or
measuring points to perform body repairs. The fixed mounting points on the body along with the use of a dedicated fixture bench and straightening
brackets provide for an exact and proper placement of the body. This method is used to duplicate the precision necessary to ensure that the repaired
body meets our specifications. When comparing the time required to set up the vehicle on a dedicated fixture bench and the entire straightening and
repair procedure, the times may appear to be negative, however they are more than compensated for by the quicker straightening and welding work
without the need for any body re-adjustment.
When using a bench for straightening, the force is initiated at vehicle points specifically designed for this purpose. The straightening brackets absorb
the pulling forces. The correct amount of pulling is achieved when the body measurement point locates itself with the matching straightening bracket
without stress. New body parts can be "located" over the straightening bracket for accurate welding with no distortion. Measurement errors, such as
can arise with measuring systems, cannot occur.
In the United States, the only companies marketing straightening equipment approved by Mercedes-Benz USA, LLC are Celette and Car Bench.
Both Celette and Car Bench work closely with Daimler AG (Stuttgart) in designing and building dedicated fixture sets for Mercedes-Benz and
Maybach vehicles which not only provide for accurate component location, but also provide a safe, proper anchoring of the vehicle during pulling
operations.
Note:
Daimler AG specifically states jacking points in the rocker panels are to be used only to lift a vehicle, and are not designed to be used as or
appropriate for use to anchor the vehicle for structural repairs. The longitudinal pinch welds for the floor pan are not designed or intended to be used
for anchoring the body. When using pinch welds to carry out straightening repairs, the vehicle can work loose and warp. Constant readjustment is
necessary and damage to previously undamaged body panels is possible. Therefore, these systems are not suitable for Mercedes-Benz vehicles and in
this respect can only be regarded as supplemental equipment for use on competitor vehicles or for damage diagnosis.
In addition:
When performing any repairs on Mercedes-Benz and Maybach vehicles, the correct procedures must be followed. The correct materials, tools and
equipment must be used. In the event that jobs are performed as sublet repairs, the dealer is responsible for providing these materials, tools,
equipment and procedures to those performing the repairs.

Mercedes-Benz Certified Collision Repair Facilities are required to use Mercedes-Benz approved dedicated straightening equipment, straightening
fixtures and follow Mercedes-Benz work procedures to perform structural repairs. Failure to do so may result in the decertification of the Certified
Repair Facility.

Cause:
The condensation hose (right/left) on the A/C housing may either be dislocated, pinched/crushed (water collects in A/C housing) or leaking, resulting
in water entering the interior.
Remedy:
If the condensation hose (right/left) is dislocated, push it all the way back onto the outlet fitting of the A/C housing and check for tight seating by
pulling gently. If necessary, use a cable tie to additionally fix the condensation hose in place. Never use soapy water or silicone spray to install.
If the condensation hose (right/left) is pinched/crushed, it can be checked for free passage as follows:
1. Use the operating unit to set maximum cooling on both sides.
2. On the vehicle underside, check whether water emerges from the condensation water drains. If no water emerges, the hose is blocked. In this
case, reposition the hose correctly to ensure free passage or replace the hose if it is damaged.
Invoice the damage with reference to the appropriate damage code..

Complaint:
Washer fluid indicator is not correct.
Indicator on instrument cluster shows that reservoir is empty although the reservoir contains sufficient windshield washer fluid.
Cause:
The electrical conductivity of the fluid in the washer fluid reservoir is not sufficient due to:
a) The use of distilled or deionized water,
b) Tap water content of mixing ratio is too low or
c) Proportion of winter washer fluid concentrate is too high (antifreeze protection approx.100%)
The electrical circuit cannot be closed by the 2-pin sensor and the message "Washer fluid reservoir empty" appears in the display of the instrument
cluster.
Remedy:
Fill the reservoir with washer concentrate and tap water at the recommended mixing ratio (see owner's manual).
Note:
It is assumed that the connectors to the washer fluid level sensor are plugged in and the lines have no function impairments.
Replacement of the SAM control unit or the current washer fluid level sensor does not rectify the issue.

- 6/8/09 Initial issue
SUBJECT:
MY-All, All Models Equipped with M272 and M273 Engines
Cylinder Head-Related Complaint Guidelines
If you receive customer reports regarding vehicles equipped with Engine 272 or 273 related to a misfire or oil consumption, follow the guidelines
herein to determine further actions.
Perform checks and / or repairs according to published WIS (such as, AH01.00-P-0300-01VA), DTB (such as S-B-07.61/72a - misfire codes; DTBs
and LIs in group 18 or 01 related to oil consumption) and other official documents.
Note:
Do not replace cylinder heads based on suspicion alone and follow the guidelines to make a proper determination. Only the compression and leak
down test values taken from engines at operating temperature could be taken for consideration. Proper inspection of combustion chamber requires
MB Special Tools approved Borescope.
Note:
Use only approved methods to remove any carbon deposits when performing a repair. Mechanical carbon deposit cleaning (and use of any sand
paper, abrasive pads or disks or sanding tools) is not allowed under warranty and cylinder heads should not be removed to do that. Use only
approved fuel additives - Keropur part # A000 989 25 45 12. Dealers might be debited when performing unapproved or incorrect repairs as well as
when unnecessarily replacing parts.
Note:
If the guideline test steps are inconclusive, revert to the SDS guided test as indicated by the DTB S-B-07.61/72a and / or properly determine a root
cause of the complaint.
