Frequently Asked Questions
Why does the M104 engine develop oil leaks on the W202 C280?
The M104’s rubber camshaft cover gasket and front crankshaft seal harden with age, making oil leaks a routine complaint on high-mileage W202 examples. The software provides step-by-step replacement procedures, correct torque values for the cover bolts, and seal installation depth specifications to ensure a lasting repair.
Does this software cover the sedan and the wagon (T-Model) body styles?
Yes. The W202 platform underpins both the C-Class sedan and the S202 T-Model estate wagon sold in the US market. All body styles produced between 1993 and 2000 are included, with body-specific wiring diagrams and trim removal procedures for each configuration.
Is the 722.6 automatic transmission fully documented, including the conductor plate repair?
Complete 722.6 coverage is included. The software details conductor plate (Y3/8n4) diagnosis — one of the most common failure points on these cars — along with fluid capacity specifications, filter replacement intervals, and full transmission removal and rebuild procedures.
