My 2003 clk200 was driving fine until a week ago when it started losing power , the engine managment light came on. I replaced the MAF and problem solved, It drove better than ever,For ten minutes. Now the supercharger wont engage whatsover, there is no loss of power atall and no engine managment light. Just another thing to add is it was icy and the wheels were doing more spinning than gripping for the ten minutes it was working.My amateur thoughts are as follows:

1) The supercharger is goosed
2) A hose/electrical clip was not tightened properly during reassembly.
3) The new MAF is faulty
4) I was engaging and dis-engaging the supercgarger so much when i was testing it i broke another part.

Apologies if this is is wrong place, new user. Thanks on advance for any input.

Don't guess, get the car on STAR and read the error codes.

Poss air flap actuator issue. When these fail, you wont feel the Kompressor kick in.
