Frequently Asked Questions
Is the M274 timing chain known to fail on the C160?
Yes. The M274 1.6L engine fitted to the C160 shares the same timing chain tensioner concerns noted across the Mercedes four-cylinder turbo family. The software includes the full Mercedes-approved inspection and replacement procedure, complete with special tool requirements and torque specifications.
Which body styles does this software cover — just the sedan?
Coverage extends across all W205-platform body styles sold in the 2015–2020 period: the W205 sedan, S205 estate/wagon, and C205 coupe. All share the same C160 powertrain and are fully supported within the software database.
Are interactive wiring diagrams included for the CAN-BUS network?
Yes. The software provides clickable wiring diagrams covering all electrical circuits, including the CAN-BUS architecture, engine management, airbag networks, COMAND infotainment, lighting, and climate control. Pin assignments, wire colors, and connector locations are all accessible interactively.
What format is the manual?
This is not a PDF. It is professional OEM Mercedes dealer software delivered as a VMware virtual machine, identical to the platform used at authorized Mercedes-Benz dealerships. Installation instructions are included and the software runs on Windows, Mac, and Linux systems.
