    charger with manual gearbox

    absolutely - I am aware that the C180K has a supercharger, the C180 CGI has a turbocharger. My car is a c180 Kompressor, and unlike my previous automatic I simply cannot tell when the supercharger is engaged. Any ideas ??????

    charger with manual gearbox

    I previously had a w203 automatic C180K. Engaging the supercharger was straightforward - toe down and let your head hit the headrest !! Now here's a really silly question - I have now had a W204 C180K (2010) with manual gearbox for a few months - luv it. But frankly I cannot tell with this...

    very cold this climate control

    Just bought a 2 year old w204 - thrilled to bits ! Been making my way through the manual and I confess that the dual zone climate control has me puzzled. I have set for 22deg/auto/AC but for easily 10 mins after starting the rather noisy blower is sending (uncomfortable) cold air out. Am I doing...

    w203 ever so slight misfire

    In the indie yesterday. Codes were misfire/mixture/camshaft adjuster. I asked them to check the hoses under the airbox before they got down to serious business - and sure enough one hose had a 2 inch tear in it. This has saved fortunes .........

    w203 ever so slight misfire

    I have a 2/2003 C180. Following service 400 miles ago the warning light has appeared 3 times. On 2 earler readings the codes pointed at misfire/mixture/camshaft adjuster. Performance is absolutely no problem - just an occasional very slight "flutter" when idling. Spark plugs have been replaced...

    w203 replacing clock spring

    I have a 52 reg w203. In June my indie replaced the indicator stalk, cost around £150. Some 200 MILES later I have SRS warning, so back to the garage. He has read the codes and tells me that the clock spring now requires replacing. The part alone costs £204 + vat. I am told the that whenever the...

    W203 one problem leads to another

    and there's more. I have just remembered that during service in June (indie) the indicator stalk was replaced. How likely is it that something was disturbed to bring up an SRS warning, and at the same time stop the sterring wheel buttons from working. Any advice would be appreciated before I...

    W203 one problem leads to another

    and there's more...Today the diagnostic warning lamp came on! Haven't had a chance to take this in to get codes read, but is there a chance that all these problems are down to a battery that is not holding its charge ??

    W203 one problem leads to another

    thanks for the prompt replies ! I actually live in Sale, just outside manchester. Unfortunately the horn does not work either - is this clock spring easy to correct ? Will get plugged in this week to see what the SRS problem is - although when I have a passenger who does not fasten seat belt...

    W203 one problem leads to another

    Definitely a new and bemused new member..... i have a w203 C180 registered 2/03. I have had 4 trouble-free years motoring until recently. Just a few weeks ago i had a battery/alternator undervoltage warning - this disappeared after 10 mins driving. The advice that i had was that because of...
