W203 older spec "volume in tank" coding works

This is on a 2000 built W203. So it must work for all W203.

It needs to be set with a developer type DAS. Regular MB mechanics do not have that. MBenzNL and benzmodz do and/or have access to it. I agree it would be nice to be able to see that.

If I ever get written confirmation I am coming up on September 30. I keep getting phone calls about an ML installation but no details.

If you have a group up there it can be done as a one-off coding visit.

W203, W209. W211 and R171 are all invited. I know that over in the KLA5SE forum there are a number of Brisbane members.

It might be worth your while to post some meeting dates and if you are willing then I would accept your invitation.

Here in the USA we have this nifty little gauge that shows the volume in tank. Check it out:

coding only requests: 100USD

others that get some parts installed can get some coding for free when star is connected to their car already

gallons/liters is a variable parameter just like kilometer/miles...so yes, it can display gallons

That series of W203 was discussed in another thread.

Someone in the USA might be able to confirm the actual display when coded. As far as I know it is selectable deep inside the diagnostic but it helps if you have the latest cluster. The closer to 2005 your car is the better.

I sometimes think that the W203 forum, should really be separated by Model Year.

2001-2004
and
2005-2006

Too many differences ! Despite the same chassis.
It would definitely slow down the amount of idiotic questions, as of late.

my unsolicited $0.02

Steve,

When I get comand from you, would you hook this up for free?...hahaha...pretty please.

BTW...I think I'm gonna be able to do both my rims and comand by the time you come into town again (after your October visit)!

I'm just praying that everything works out financially smooth.

I am...the title will be different though...it will be something like "How to travel the world for free" and then it will probably get the subtitle "without seeing anything and not getting much sleep"

How do you get the settings in Star Diagnosis DAS to enable this feature?


Step by step procedure please.


If you don't like the public to view the process PM me.


Thanks.


Enclosed is $100
