It’s simple: Retarding the valve timing allows an engine to make more power at low rpm, while advancing it gives more power at high rpm. How can we get the best of both worlds?
With any tangible investment, good maintainance will yield a good return. The same can be said of a Mercedes-Benz vehicle. With proper and timely maintenance you can help retain the value. Here is how Mercedes-Benz helps you achieve that goal.
In an effort to reduce wiring clutter and streamline the diagnostic process, Mercedes-Benz has advanced the application of the CAN (Controller Area Network) concept. Let’s look at the lay of the land and, more importantly, how to use CAN to find problems
Mercedes-Benz vehicles hold their value better than any other marque. This means customers are likely to invest in major repairs, such as those that involve cylinder head R&R.
One technological advance that’s largely unsung is computer-controlled suspension. Mercedes-Benz’s Active Body Control (ABC) is a sophisticated system that deserves your attention (and we’ll throw in a peek at Semi-Active Suspension, too).
When diagnosing electrical problems, the more you know about modern power distribution systems the faster you will find the problem. Rapidly changing technology has revolutionized how power is applied.
With emissions and mpg both looming so large right now, you can’t have your customers driving around with the MIL on, but it’s not always so easy to find the cause of a fuel system glitch
