The meaning of the codes

I am going to look into your case.

Given that it appears you have been ignored.

Brand? Mercedes-Benz
Model?
Year?

Thank you.


Boss if we create a whatsapp group now I bet you issues will be resolved quickly. Not everyone has the time to log in on Nairaland all d time and from my observation seems the previous whatsapp group is no longer functioning cos I have placed my number since last year but no response. Guys here can relate to this. Thanks n have a wonderful day.

The meaning of the codes

P0562 MERCEDES-BENZ - Charging System Voltage Low

Possible causes
Low battery charge
Battery defective
Loose or missing alternator drive belt
Faulty alternator
Open or short system voltage circuit

When is the code detected?
The Engine Control Module (ECM) has detected that the electrical system voltage level is out of range.
Possible symptoms
Engine Light ON (or Service Engine Soon Warning Light)
Slow engine start
Low battery power
P0562 Mercedes-benz Description
The battery supplies electricity to the Engine Control Module (ECM) even when the ignition switch is OFF. This electricity allows the ECM to store data such as Diagnostic Trouble Code (DTC) history, freeze frame data, fuel trim values and other data. If the battery voltage falls below a minimum level, the ECM will conclude that there is a fault in the power supply circuit. The next time the engine starts, the ECM will turn on the Malfunction Indicator Light (MIL) and a DTC will be set.

You need to get the car hooked up to the Star machine.

Where can I find hydraulikol ZH-M in abuja? Or it’s equivalent. My 1992 300SL has turned to a low-rider!!! I cannot even turn the wheels. I press the ride height control switch but it doesn’t raise the car. The hydraulic container is empty, I cannot even drive the car out of my compound to a mechanic to sort out the convertible soft top. Firstly, I need this oil or anyone who can sort out this. The car starts even after months of not driving but I cannot move it. Thank you

Are you interested in selling it? Gudu market will be your best bet for the oil.

W164 ML350 didn't use M112 they used the M272 engine pls. as for the tumble flap I'd advice you replace the intake manifold but if you can rebuild the tumble flap with more studier material, you're good to go.

earlier M272 engines of which the C280 belongs to were plagued with the deadly tumble flap failure which could be catastrophic. some also had the balance shaft palava. The RWD early model facelift C230 v6 and C280 which had the 722:9 7G-tronic transmission were prone to VGS malfunction which could entail transmission malfunctions.

rather than do a C280 or C230 v6 which had the tumble flap palava and the VGS malfuntions, I'd advice you go for a C230 kompressor sports or c240 with the 722:6 5G-tronic transmission.

thanks a lot Kingreign for the advice, I prefer to replace the intake manifold but I am looking for someone with similar experience that can direct me to a good mechanic in Port Harcourt that will get me a good intake manifold and have it replaced perfectly without causing additional damages to the engine. Considering the nature of the wiring system around that area of the engine. Thanks.

Also a friend needs an advice.


What is the cost of ML 320 engine, and the gear box.
Also does it really consume fuel as people assume.

Is it a good ride.

He wasn't to buy this car and needs advice. That's why I'm here.
