Service Information: MIG soldering on structure components and outer paneling

P60.00-2788-06

Shown on model 204

On models 204, 216 and future models MIG soldering is a joining process on structure components and on exterior paneling in production. On model 204 in the case of repair the MIG solder connections on structure components (see picture) are joined by a MAG weld joint. In the process it is mandatory to observe the repair instructions in WIS.

 On outer panelings (side paneling) MIG soldering can also be carried out as an alternative to MAG [metal active gas] weldingFor this purpose the solder material Sg-CuSi3 must be used so that following adhesion and/or rework with unleaded tin-wash solder is guaranteed.

Changeover on current models:

In series production the MAG weld joint is successively replaced by a MIG-solder connection. In the process it is mandatory to observe the corresponding repair instructions in WIS.

Outlook on new models:

On future models MIG soldering will be introduced in production as a joining method on structure components and on outer paneling. MIG soldering will be a standard repair method on new models.

Workshop equipment:

A selection of MIG/MAG welders from various manufacturers is documented in GOTIS:
