C43/CLK55 Conversion

[RemoLexi]

Paul so your trying to swap many of the critical module off the 208 into the 202?

Remo,
As you know I've sort of gone out on a really big limb here by making assumptions from the EPC/WIS and what is currently installed in the ME2.0 CLK55 and code 809 C43,so until it actually happens I can only make these sort of assumptions/unknowns:


1. When ME2.8 comes in around 06/00 ESP,TCM,DCM's and SAM(plus other sensors etc) also update, I assume this is due to CAN system/data changes so not ideal for 202 ME2.0 moduels.

2. ME2.0 CLK55 has SAM specific to 208 55 only, I assume due to added features like command ,lighting etc that 202 did not have, normal 208 uses 202 SAM. may need to use this not sure yet.

3. My 809 C43 ESP module is A 025 545 61 32 , the clk55 module I have is A029 545 70 32,This number does not show up in my 2012 EPC when searching with clk55 VIN, however when you search on the part number it comes back as used in tiptronic 202's/C43 and the Clk320/430. so they are same module.

4. ME2.0 CLK55 ESP sensors are same on C43 with esp.

5. 208 Interior control modules OCP ,LCP, TAC/AAC are major differences in individual construction but tie into other systems in a similar/same way. hopefully no issues there.

6.TCM in Tiptronic C43 vs ME2.0 CLk55 is A021 545 88 32 vs A021 545 89 32.. both egs51.

7. Multifunction steering wheel needs updated 5 wire angle sensor and wiring to cluster so that horn and fucntions go via cluster(also horn needs one wire to EIS)*EDIT - and also updated CLK55 indicator arm to hold 5 wire plug.

8. Stoplamp switch update with correct plugs.

9. ME2.0 CLK55 TCM harness is same as tiptronic C43,drops in along with stoplamp plug pin.

10. CAN from cluster to Radio to utilise multifunction steering wheel to radio commands

Without a doubt the best swap for the ME2.0 CLK55 is to an original Tiptronic C43, the ME2.0 CLK55 is basically a two door tiptronic 202 C55. So swapping is of course harder into code 808/809 C43 but at least i have fully working CLK55 to use parts from.

Plenty of hurdles to come I'm sure!

Regards,

Edit - will make the parts list into a more formal list shortly,currently on holiday and my vb disconnects my wifi when I run EPC =)
