    oily smell every time the engine is running ??

    All, thanks for all your replies, i phoned up my stealer and thought i'd bite the bullet with them looking at it. turns out i had a diesel leak and they have rectified this under warranty and the car is smelling much better now. :)

    oily smell every time the engine is running ??

    When i added the oil i only added a litre as thats what the car said i should do. When i did screw the cap on properly the car was happy didn't need to add any more so it can't have lost much. since my last service i have checked the oil regularly and not needed a top up. The only thing i...

    oily smell every time the engine is running ??

    Hi, I was a bit stupid and topped my C220 CDI up with oil and didn't screw the cap on fully. I drove 200 miles before realising and basically only realised when i noticed smoke coming from the bonnet. I replaced the cap properly and everything was ok, car had a service, no issues there...

    Parking Sensors Problem

    even if it was fitted aftermarket you should have the round eyes around the bumper area, they'd normally be black unless they were sprayed to match your car colour. If you definately have not got the eyes then it sounds more like an electrical issue when you put your car in reverse.

    B Service is due...

    I get mine serviced at Andy Gayles in West Brom. got it booked in week after next for a B service on a C Class - 210 inc VAT and they use genuine parts so your warranty is still valid. Stealer wants 480 for that service...........:devil:

    I want to add COMMAND to my C-Class - help ?

    Hi, I have a 2005 facelift c220 cdi avantgarde (not sure the W number). I have the CD Changer and the normal sinle slot CD in the centre console. I'm fed up with my third party sat nav, looks untidy and i keep taking it out when i park up and everything. I wish i'd gone for the COMMAND...

    W203 Service Interval - confused ?

    My A service was £238 inc Vat. The B will be about 480 inc vat according to the stealer !

    W203 Service Interval - confused ?

    Phew = hope so. I'm expecting to do 40k a year in it. And with the cost of MB servicing....... well!

    W203 Service Interval - confused ?

    I've just had the A service on my 05 W203 c220cdi. The clock is on 16k miles. I was expecting when they reset the clock to the B service that it would count down from 15k miles, but it is on 10k miles. :eek: Is this correct and will it be like this for all services, a mixture of 10...

    INsurance Query

    I had my insurance as garaged, one Xmas eve a few years ago we left the car out as presents were in the garage ready to bring in, some tiles fell off the neighbours roof and damaged the car extensively. The insurance never queried it and paid for the lot, Just unfortunate timing really.

    'Nicked' boot badge

    That's well unlucky - losing both badges, i hope the replacements remain with the car for the forseeable future. I'm interested in your thoughts on replacing the front star with a flat clk style one, I've got a c220 and wouldn't mind doing that if my badge goes missing ?

    Service indicator

    there seems to be no consistency here? My c220 cdi - new in march - started at 15,000. I'm no 14,600 now and it still has 1400 till service A as i do a lot of motorway miles. I'm shocked at 10,000 countdown, that seems far to frequent. I previously had a bmw and that was 15,000 intervals
