    W202 C200 random misfire

    Update! Swapped injectors 1 and 4 on Monday, only codes in the car "misfire cyl 4" It's run fine til tonight, approaching a traffic light it dropped onto three. Pulled off the road, dived under the bonnet, still cylinder 4. I've just taken the plugs back out, no unusual marks or wear, very...

    What modern steering wheels fit a 202?

    I'm not after control buttons or paddles, but are there any later steering wheels that would fit with minimal fuss into a 99 202? Or am I best just finding a sport wheel?

    Replaced Starter, No Start Signal & Instrument Cluster Lights Stay On

    You need a Valeo 458165 looking at that info, it's not a coding as such but an immobiliser that is activated/deactivated by the engine ECU. Interesting to see Valeo can get the immobilised unit, as I said before I was under the impression it was MB or bust

    That's what I thought. It comes as a virgin uncoded unit. You plug it in and that becomes your cars starter motor. I didn't believe it would make a difference, but a euro car parts one did nothing, bought a merc one and it's worked perfectly ever since. The customer still jokes that I know his...

    On the A class the starter is also coded, I've yet to find an aftermarket one that is simply plug and play, and have found only genuine MB ones to work. I found this out the hard way, engine half out twice...

    W202 C200 random misfire

    The only repeat faults are air mass meter (AFM/maf, however you want to word it) and O2 sensor bank one sensor 1 fuel trim adjustment above max (because of misfire) I haven't scanned it since fitting the Bosch maf, but I'm going into work early to tinker with it. I don't have access to the STAR...

    W202 C200 random misfire

    Further info, it's started to miss as I've just got home, dived under the bonnet and disconnected air flow meter, no difference. Gone thru injectors one by one and cyl 4 isn't doing anything. Going to look at the injectors tomorrow, anyone know what resistance there should be for them? Also, is...

    SL320 (1998) Sudden power drop-off on acceleration

    I'm guessing it's an auto? Could it just be kickdown and the gearbox needs a damn good service?
