I've had my 2005 c230K now for 4 months and just drove it from Arizona to New Jersey. But I still have not figured out how the kompressor works.
Is it always on or does it kick in when pushing hard on the gas? Mine takes off like a rocket if I push on it so it seems maybe to be on then. But when driving steadily at 70-80 MPH is it on or off.
With 155K miles but looking like new it is a nice car, getting 30MPG.
You really feel the road with these low profile tires and very noisy on some pavements.

Doesn't make a lick of a difference what the vin is...the supercharger is belt driven, so it's on anytime the engine is running.

I don't know about your car but on the C32 it is a clutch system based on RPMS. got a picture?

Forget about all the HS----On your 271.948 the boost presure is available at lower speeds and controlled on the basis of the performance map and load by the ECU via the recirculated air flap actuator--max boost=flap closed,

The boost control is dependent upon---engine speed, load request(the driver) and the safety functions built into the system.

Suggest you do a google search on the MB system---loads of detail or subscribe to WIS and discount all the misinformation!!

I think we have a VINner! or a VIN-collector?
