Vehicle Identity and Application Matching

VARIANT AND APPLICATION DIFFERENTIATION

Model family: identity, variant and system differentiation

IDENTITY

Prevent wrong-generation and wrong-part matches

The model name alone is insufficient. Production month, market, engine and driveline codes establish the correct application.

  • Powertrain range: OM 936 / OM 470
SYSTEM MAP

Technical paths to separate first on this model

Measuring systems that create similar symptoms reduces unnecessary parts replacement.

  • Do not decide from one symptom without a full module scan, freeze frame and service history.
  • Do not select parts or fluids before matching generation, engine, transmission and market code.
FIELD CHECK

Inspection sequence for purchase, maintenance and faults

The sequence creates an evidence chain and improves interpretation of later measurements.

  • Verify VIN, production month, engine marking, transmission code and option codes under the same vehicle identity.
  • Record cold and hot starts separately; compare cranking, idle, fan activation and load transitions.
  • Scan all modules, not only the engine ECU.
  • Log rpm, speed, load, gear/drive state, trims and temperatures on the same road-test timeline.
  • After repair, verify monitor completion and that the original complaint condition does not return.

Overview

Conecto is offered in two principal urban bodies: rigid and articulated.

The rigid bus is 12,134 mm and Conecto G is 18,124 mm; both are 2,550 mm wide and 3,095 mm high in base form.

Official data lists the 7.7-litre OM 936 at 220 kW/1,200 Nm for rigid and the 10.7-litre OM 470 at 265 kW/1,700 Nm for articulated.

Maximum capacity is 101 and 150 passengers, with gross vehicle weights of 19,500 and 28,000 kg.

How to verify the technical identity

The same model name can carry different engines, transmissions, emissions packages and ECU software across years and markets. Verify VIN/chassis, engine code, production period and controller identity together before selecting parts or procedures. If an exact value is not supported, AutoAtlas does not fill the gap by guessing.
