Frequently Asked Questions
Is the OM642 swirl flap issue covered in this software?
Yes. The OM642 V6 CDI is well known for intake manifold swirl flap failure, where the plastic actuator arms break and debris enters the engine. The software includes full intake manifold removal procedures, swirl flap inspection steps, torque specifications, and reinstallation guidance to address this properly.
Does this cover the X164 platform specifically, or other GL generations?
Coverage is specific to the X164-generation GL Class produced from 2006 through 2009. This is not shared with the later X166 platform. All service data, wiring diagrams, and specifications are tailored to X164 build variants including those sold in the North American market.
Are the AIRMATIC air suspension components covered with wiring diagrams?
Yes. The software includes interactive wiring schematics for the AIRMATIC suspension control module, compressor relay circuits, ride-height sensor signals, and strut solenoid valve wiring – the same resources available to Mercedes-Benz dealership technicians.
What format is the manual?
This is professional OEM dealer software, not a PDF. It runs as a VMware Player virtual machine and includes searchable procedures, interactive wiring diagrams, component locators, and zoom-capable illustrations. It is compatible with Windows, Mac, and Linux operating systems.
