Mercedes Benz Kompressor engines use compressed air to provide extra power and speed, adding up to 46% more horsepower. These super-charged engines feature in a range of models from the C-Class to AMG variants.

What are some of the common problems with the Mercedes Benz Kompressor?

As with all engines, it’s essential to carry out regular servicing and maintenance for your Kompressor. Regular servicing is the best way to prevent unexpected problems. Our expert Adelaide mechanics specialise in Euro auto repairs so can ensure your Kompressor is running its best. Common problems include:

Mass air flow (MAF) sensor issues

The MAF sensor sends data to your engine’s computer. If you’ve been having trouble starting, or if you’ve been stalling or experiencing hesitation on acceleration, you may need to replace your sensor. Reach out and talk to our experienced staff if you have any concerns about your Mercedes.

Intercooler pump failure

A failing intercooler pump is unable to supply the correct amount of air to the engine. This can result in reduced performance and economy. Leaks or blockages are often to blame, leading to engine overheating or knocking. If you’ve noticed any of these symptoms, we recommend letting our experts have a closer look for you.
