Original MB Star C3 failed to diagnose Mercedes W212 2010 (fixed)

A Mercedes Benz W212 2010 with VIN 2120891A208054 owners had the problem when diagnose his model with original MB Star C3 scanner. So he consulted mbstartool.com technician.

Problem: 
He has got the original MB Star C3 (with original 2013.09V Star diagnosis DAS/Xentry SSD) multiplexer to diagnose and program his model. But the software pops up an error message "ZGW is not answer". He then contact obd365 technician if it is Ok to buy the latest 2015.12V DAS/Xentry for MB Star C3 to work on this model.

Solution: 
Sorry, for MB newer model, your W212 included, you should go for MB SD Connect C4 diagnostic system with newer software version. MB star C3, even original one is too old to diagnose these newer MB cars.

MB SD Connect C4 and Dell D630 full kit review

We are happy to share a great review on MB SDconnect c4 with dell d630 bundle, by an Australian customer, Dennis Apelt.
Source: http://www.mbstartool.com/wholesale/mb-sd-connect-compact-4-star-diagnosis-dell-d630-laptop.html


I bought one of these full kits after doing a lot of research from various vendors. People from mbstartool always responded quickly, answering all questions I had. Shipping was very quick although DHL tracking didn’t work until package had arrived (approx. 3 days).
mb-sd-c4-and-dell-d630-laptop


The Dell630 is understandably old, and had be resprayed (painted) but is otherwise fully functional. The latest MB software was installed and everything seems to work OK right out of the box, which is exactly as stated.

Cables, connectors and mux all appear to be pretty good quality, although the C4 didn’t have batteries installed (not sure you really need these anyway).

Wireless connection to the MB SD C4 seems to be intermittent – I got a few disconnects and crashes in Xentry (javaw.exe) on wireless, but on cable it has worked consistently well so far.

For people considering buying a kit like this for newer cars (e.g. New C Class), the only advice I can give is that the Xentry software on modern cars will only let you do tests – (i.e. No Adaptations or coding); everything requiring change will need Online SCN coding. It’s a great toolkit to have for diagnostics alone though.

Overall – I can highly recommend buying from this vendor since everything was as advertised, plus you have fast response on emails if you have issues or questions.

SCN Coding Fixed Mercedes GLK 2014 Remaining Starts 10

My Mercedes Benz 2014 GLK 250 has 2800 miles. And three weeks ago check engine light came on followed by "Remaining Starts: 10"

GLK-2014-Remaining-Starts-10



Got it fixed today.

I checked Adblue level, tried resetting, tested for low flow, removed injector to measure flow, checked pump delivery pressure, pressure tested system for leaks, recalibrated fill level, checked for intake leaks and air filters for contamination. All checks within spec but the fault codes remained.

Problem was fixed by performing online SCN coding of the SCR module with the newest MB SD Connect c4 unit and Dell d630 laptop. Maybe the factory forgot to code the SCR module to our VINs. All seems fine now. Will let everyone know if the problem comes back.

It’s very easy to process SCN coding, once find out where the problem locate and the useful solution.

This is the online coding service instruction i got from

1.Place an order on the online coding service.
2.Contact our online customer service to process this online coding.
3.Prepare MB STAR C3/SDConnect C4, car, laptop and teamviewer.
4. Select the car model and programming system (eg, headlight XALWA-L)
5.Select CONTROL unit adaptations
6.Choose offline program (CONTROL MODULE PROGRAMMING) then (SCN coding)
7.Provide us your teamviewer User ID and password.
8.Login server (DALMLER)
9.Login server and finish SCN coding automatically
