Fuse allocation W168 A160 petrol 2002.
















As owners of modern cars we tend to take for granted the services fitted and the sophistication of the integrated sensors ,detectors and components fitted I received this e-mail which may emphasis the importance of the fuses and relays fitted to these vehicles.

I received this mail from an owner of an A140 which I feel sure other owners will want to make note, certainly it could save you a lot of money if you can recall the details when and if you need it?

I would like to relate a story about my wife's A140 classic auto 2001, it might be of some interest / use to your readers if you wish to pass it on.
I couple of weeks ago I was switching our cars around on the drive, and when I turned the A140 engine off I could hear an electric motor running under the bonnet.
Thinking "cooling fan" I listened for several minutes, but it did not switch off. Looking under the bonnet the motor concerned was a fan beside the power steering reservoir and the washer reservoir. In the time it had been running it was already too hot to touch! I pulled the electrical connector out to stop it frying, and called Mobilo-life thinking the diagnosis would be "failed control relay"
However, Mobilo-life diagnostics showed many flagged faults including the dreaded mass airflow sensor / ECU failure.
I had the car recovered to my local MB workshop with a heavy heart, and a faulty relay was replaced - re-diagnosis showed no faults (I got a printout!)
I believe the fan is an auxiliary air pump; on for a short time on start up to blow additional air into the catalyst to speed it warming up. I also think (although I did not check position myself) the relay is one of the hidden ones behind the panel in the engine bay (K6; air pump)
Probably, relay failure is a fairly rare occurrence, but this one could cost a new air pump, flat battery, and possibly new or refurbished mass flow sensor if you took the first diagnosis as gospel. I just goes to show how modern car engine management electronics are effected by faults in many and varied systems. Keep up the good work on the web site Regards Raymond Mayes

These details are certainly worth noting in your memory banks, many thanks Ray for the information.
