Faults flagged

[sean sherry]

204 C Class 2010. Scan flagged numerous faults .. 29 ! Air Con, 1 Engine, 2 doors, at B Service , but no problems ever experienced. Checked again after a run of couple of hundred Ks in the Country. Now all clear, car ran faultless and returned an average of 7.4 Lts/100Ks. Motorway, winding roads and dirt all up steep hills in Yarramalong Valley to the Kulmura left turn back to Sydney.
Also, a couple of months ago a cloud of blue smoke on cold starts was sorted by a simular country run. Blow the cobwebs out seems to be the answer.

It seems like a lack of use, a bit of humidity, lost of heat, all seem to affect computers and faults begin to appear.
My CLK320 convertible came up with a a few, including ABS and faulty brakes.
A spirited drive managed to eliminate them all.

Thanks Michel, good to know I'm not the only one. The Car is driven mostly by little Wifey on local trips. Use it or loose it still applies.
