Procedure

Checking the modification identity plate (not US/CA)

Before undertaking any measures, check box B4 (9-3 M00-M02) , B1 (9-5 M00-M01), F1 (9-5 M02) or C1 (9-5 M03) of the modification identity plate.


1. Remove the ignition discharge module as described in WIS - Engine - Trionic T7 - Adjust/replace - Ignition discharge module. Do not carry out "Extended ignition discharge module diagnose"

2. Check the serial number of the ignition discharge module. If the ignition discharge module is from the serial number interval below, it must be replaced. Other ignition discharge modules are not to be replaced.

B205/235: Serial number interval D000000 - D336210 or B083821 - B096117.

B308: Serial number interval C048743 - F000999.

3. Fit the ignition discharge module as described in WIS.

If the old ignition discharge module is to be refitted, lubricate it with Krytox.

New ignition discharge modules come pre-lubricated with Krytox and do not require additional lubrication.

4. Dispose of replaced ignition discharge modules in accordance with the laws of the relevant market. The modules are to be disposed of in a manner that makes their reuse impossible.
