Do you have W202 or W203 C230..?

ZAYED,,

i have the w202, but what's the difference?

cm60k

W202 models ends in 6/2000, after that MB replace it to W203,,

code: P1519, refers to "Adjustable Camshaft Solenoid", try to reset the whole system, and see if it appears again or not,,

do you have aspirated Engine or Kompressor Engine..?

ZAYED,,

hey guy...thanks for the reply. im not to good on diy. just minor stuff. i have a Kompressor engine. do u have a picture of where this solenoid is located and how do i reset it? thanks

If you don't have diagnostic scanner or STAR/SDS, you can disconnect the battery for 2-3 hours or whole night, then reconnected again, everything with reset,,

Your C230K got:-

"camshaft magnet solenoid"



"camshaft position sensor"



those 2 refers to the code: P1519,

if you reset the whole system, and camshaft sensor or solenoid code appears again, have to replace the camshaft position sensor first...
