w203

Hello. Just bought my W203 C320 Coupe facelift and upon carrying a vin decoding I found out that it has been delivered 08/2004. I am aware that these cars suffer from glycol leaking into transmission if they are fitted with VALEO radiator up to production date 09/2003. My car falls...

When I bought my 2006 C350 (W203) it didn't have a spare wheel, and I'm finally getting round to thinking about getting one. I'm slightly confused what I need though, as the wheels are staggered (17"). Could somebody please let me know what the car would have come with so I know what to look...

I am suffering with exhaust fumes in the cabin of my W203 C350 (M272 - petrol). The common view is that this is caused by oil leaking out of the camshaft core plugs and dripping on the exhaust. So at the weekend I replaced my core plugs but the problems persist. So I got under the car to look...

Hi, first real post so sorry if it's a repeat, I tried a search but all I got was a blank screen! Anyway that title says it all, any help re hidden bolts, clips etc much appreciated. I'm attempting to install parking sensors at both ends but I'm starting at the rear. Thanks in anticipation.

So, stupid moment here... Imagine this, you have the bonnet open and the keys in the ignition. The ignition is in the ON position, but the engine isn't started. Then you forget and close the door, which is locked. Now, imagine that happened with the car blocking your other car on your...

Hi there, I am new to this forum and also to MB ownership! I have recently purchased a 2007 C class coupe 220 CDI and while driving I notice the car had gone into limp mode with no warning lights on at all. I had a friend read codes with his Delphi and he found the following: 2509...

Afternoon I have an issue on a 2003 C230K coupe (40k miles) The automatic gearbox seems to not be changing correctly - best described as jerky/lurching occasionally (at its worst it almost feels like the car rocks when it goes into gear, if that makes sense!) It's recently had a fluid change...

Considering whether to do some small repairs / mods to my 2005 W203 C180K Kompressor. Key question is whether the bodywork is solid enough to get me another 5 years safe motoring. Can anyone recommend a thorough examination service for corrosion. I mean with boroscope etc to get at the more...

Hi hope someone can help. I have a 2003 w203 sport coupe 220cdi auto and when I'm braking from reasonable speed I get a sensation like a vibration on the n/s front as if my discs are very thin and you can feel the vented ribs. The car itself doesn't vibrate nor the steering wheel however...

Hi, I have recently bought a W203 C Class 200 SE Kompressor Auto. It's a great car but I have had a reoccurring issue with a loss of power. The issue means that from a start even if I put the excelerator to the floor the car only creeps forward and then picks up. This has proved quite...

Ive read that the earlier years of this model had some issues, are the later ones considerably improved? Im looking at a 2007 model and wondering what i should be looking out for if anything other than the norm. Much as I wanted to move up to an AMG, i cant justify the cost at the moment...

I bought this set of four AMG Style III alloy wheels brand new, as an additional set for my W203 C32 AMG. They are the correct 7.5jx17 ET37 (un-staggered) fitment for winter tyres. Mercedes-Benz recommends this specific (un-staggered) fitment both at the front and rear for winter tyres, even...

HI Chaps, I would like to thank everybody in this forum for their help and kindness. Unfortunately my car is quite slow , and smaller engine cars can overtake me easily on acceleration. last time i replaced my alternator , i found quite a bit of oil in air inlet pipe to the intercooler. does...

I was taking a look at the near side front door of my friend's W203 last night as the door wouldn't hold shut or lock. I was suspecting It to be a broken spring in the lock catch actuator but it turned out after lots of spray lube it was just jammed. It now shuts and locks ok and the exterior...
