What is Thermotronic Climate Control?

Question: have you ever been freezing cold while the person next to you is about to break a sweat while riding in the car?  Mercedes-Benz has taken that situation into account and has gotten way ahead of the curve by equipping its vehicles with dual-zone climate control to allow drivers and passengers to have their own temperature controls.

So, what happens when you’re in a convertible and the temperature outside the vehicle is changing the temperature that you set on the climate controls?  That is where Thermotronic Automatic Climate Control by Mercedes-Benz comes into the picture.  It has proven to be an intelligent system that automatically adjusts the temperature to keep it consistent.

Fuel Injection Systems in German Cars.

How does your German car’s fuel injection system work exactly and what does it take to troubleshoot it?  Here is an example of what may be happening in your Mercedes.  Over time deposits form on intake valves, in the combustion chambers, and in the fuel injectors. This causes loss of power, rough running, misfiring, etc. which results in poor gas mileage.

Especially in older Mercedes deposits will cause all of the above which triggers the engine’s control unit to actually adapt to these conditions.  By adding more fuel to the engine’s mixture, the engine feels like it is running the same because of the control unit’s intervention but the final result is the same, poor fuel economy.

Here is what we do at A.J.’s Import Garage.  First of all, we will scan your car’s engine computer, check and note the fuel adaptations.  What you need to know is that we are on it!  At A.J.’s Import Garage we serve all of the Topeka area’s Mercedes owners with top quality service every time.  Call (785) 233-1000 to make an appointment at 501 SW Harrison in Topeka.
