How to replace the ignition coil on Mercedes-Benz C230?

A coil might seem to be misfiring or not firing at all, or the Powertrain Control Module (PCM) is Reading a Diagnostic Trouble Code (DTC) of a misfire so changing the coil with one adjacent could help. When the suspect coil caused a DTC on one of the cylinders, it will probably introduce the same DTC when mounted over another cylinder, indicating the coil itself is most likely defective because it is unlikely that the harnesses on two ignition coils on the same cylinder would both fail. On V6 engines, when replacing, disconnect cable on one of the negative battery terminals, remove engine cover/air filter housing (where needed), disconnect electrical connector on ignition coil and on certain models, label the spark plug wires then disconnect them. Unscrew the ignition coil mounting bolt and coil take those off, and look at the rubber boot to see if it is damaged. Then do the same procedure, but on 2006 and later models it is also necessary to look at the state of a rubber boot. The opposite as removal is installation and once this has been done, carry out relearn processes. In four-cylinder engines, it is started in the same way; the negative battery terminal is disconnected, individually screwing that electrical connector off plus ignition cover screws or engine cover screws on some engines, with the ignition coil mounting bolts removed. Check the rubber boot and, when required, re-fit, then, in reverse order, re-check all re-fit parts.

Mercedes-Benz C230 Ignition Coil

The Mercedes-Benz C230 Ignition Coil converts the relatively low twelve volts of the battery to the high voltage required by the engine to actually and decisively start the engine ignition. The machine conceals two copper windings around an iron core within a hard plastic or epoxy case, one large winding of hundreds of thick turns and another smaller winding of thousands of fine turns. The primary winding current ensures that a magnetic field is created, and when the engine control unit or previous breaker points interrupt the current flow, the magnetic field drops, and up to forty thousand volts are emitted by the Ignition Coil's secondary tower to the plug gap, which lights the air-fuel mixture. Early Mercedes-Benz models applied a single Ignition Coil which supplied voltage to each cylinder by passing it through a distributor cap and rotor, which, although satisfactory, included moving parts and long high-tension leads. With the advancement of technology Mercedes-Benz was fitting distributorless ignition systems, clustering together two or more coils in a pack and discharging two cylinders in a waste-spark mode to reduce the complexity. The new C230 series has gone even further to include coil-on-plug or coil-near-plug designs with one small coil immediately over each spark plug and nearly no leads, increasing reliability as well as minimizing energy loss. In all these styles the aim remains the same, to provide 15,000-40,000 volts on command, and when an Ignition Coil in Mercedes-Benz fails the motor will have a jerky idle, misfiring, low mileage or even stall.
