    W203 Facelift C Class lights abroad

    I have heard that there is a switch/lever to modify the headlamp beam for driving abroad and I am hoping that someone can help. I am going to France shortly and hoping I can avoid using those stickon beam modifiers. My car is a 2007 W203 with non bi-xenon lights (clear lense)

    Bilstein B12 on a w203

    Just to add to the ride height info on the Bilstein B12 on a W203. Obviously this is down the the springs supplied, so when buying this kit, it is best to check which B12 you are buying. Original B12 - Blue Springs (H&R 40mm) 2011 B12 Pro Kit - Black Springs (Eibach 30mm) Our ride heights...

    C220 CDI Smoke under heavy acceleration w203 2007

    Cheers Cabe, I've tried diffrent feuls from regular, vpower and ultimate. My Dad always uses regular diesel in C220. Checked the injector areas and still very clean and I have also had it on STAR but no faults. The only thing I found was the oil in the manifold and wondering it is this the...

    DPF or no DPF w203 C220 CDI

    Correction on my comment on the the lambda - it is between turbo and first cat, as listed as upstream oxygen sensor. Gutted the second cat which I thought was the DPF and noticed improved throttle response and midrange. No noise increase, infact it seems quieter and smoother. Yet to comment...

    C220 CDI Smoke under heavy acceleration w203 2007

    Hi Again Forum, Ever since I have owned the car, I get a Big cloud of smoke under heavy long acceleration. It will continue to pump up smoke until I release the gas. Highly visable at night in a rear view mirror. The car runs perfectly fine, no smoke on idle or normal driving. This does not...

    DPF or no DPF w203 C220 CDI

    Thanks BlackC55 :) I also removed the whole airbox this afternoon to have a look and just saw the two cats. Assuming that there is nothing connected to the second cat section (ie lambda), can I have it removed and replaced with straight through pipe without any problems? My Dad's 220 CDI...

    DPF or no DPF w203 C220 CDI

    Are you talking about two pipes coming out the back of the air box? I was told this before and I do not see anything like that, but I'll take a photo tomorrow.

    Bilstein B12 on a w203

    Id love to have the b14s, B16 even, but well out of my price range - unless you know where I can get it cheaper than a grand. The cheapest I could find the B12 setup is £690 delivered - Buying the B8's separately and eibach pro kit. I can fit myself. You guys know where I might get a better...

    DPF or no DPF w203 C220 CDI

    interesting, no 474 code in the service book or engine and I have a sooty exhaust. I assume I have a two cat system then. The two boxes in mine look the same (externally). Can I remove the second one and replace with a straight through pipe? My Dads C220 CDI has only one of these. His is...

    Bilstein B12 on a w203

    Has anyone used this setup on their w203. I read many good reviews on other mercedes models, but most owners just say they recommend it and love it but no more details other than that. The ride height offered with this kit will suit my needs and I don't doubt that the handling is going to be...

    Hi Forum! I'm a proud owner of a Obsidian Black 2007 W203 C220 CDI Avantgarde w/sport pack (non amg) Has anyone had their DPF removed from their W203 C220 CDI Facelift? Not sure if I have one or not, but it looks like I have two boxes after the turbo. The first should be the Cat the second...
