Frequently Asked Questions
Is the W245 B160 balance shaft a known problem, and does the manual cover it?
Yes — the M266 engine family used in the W245 B160 is known for balance shaft unit wear, which can cause oil pressure loss and timing-related noise. The software includes the full OEM removal, inspection, and replacement procedure along with the required special tool references and torque specifications.
Does this cover both left- and right-hand drive W245 variants?
Yes. The W245 chassis was produced in both LHD and RHD configurations for global markets. This dealer software includes technical data for both drive-side variants, so procedures, wiring diagrams, and component locations are accurate regardless of which version you own.
Are interactive wiring diagrams included for the ESP and airbag systems?
Yes. The software provides complete circuit schematics for all electrical systems, including the ESP/ABS hydraulic module, SRS airbag network, engine management (ME 9.7), climate control, central locking, and exterior lighting — with connector locations and ground point references throughout.
What format is the manual?
This is NOT a PDF. It is professional OEM Mercedes-Benz dealer software delivered as a VMware Player Virtual Machine image. Once installed, it runs on Windows, Mac, or Linux and provides the same searchable, interactive repair environment used by authorized Mercedes dealerships.
