Save your cash I have a w203 52 plate, had it from new, was back at Mercedes within first 3 years, has had 2 full re-sprays by 2 different body shops, Mercedes lifted the bill. Every year rust comes back on all the places you mention, I just rub it down and coat with hammerite and the use touch...

Had a terrible noise coming from rear of my C180, same issue, passed MOT no problem, other garages told me to put radio up !! The noise was getting me down and I was contemplating getting rid of car. Found a dealer in Glasgow via a BMW forum, Deutschtek, contacted by phone, described noise...

All quiet again, thank goodness Eventually got the noise problem sorted, took car to Deutschtek, German car specialists in Glasgow. Problem resolved by replacing rose bush NSR. Car nice and quiet again and going like a dream. :D Definately would use this garage again, mechanics very honest and...

Nice quiet car at last. After visiting various garages, all telling me this is a common problem with this model of Mercedes,and it cound be any of the many bushes on the rear suspension and could cost plenty and still not find the cause of the noise and advised me to just to put the radio up...

Hi All For those who are regular followers of this forum site, you may remember a couple of months ago, I posted on the site, my near thing with the rear suspension arms being rusted through and collapsing(see photo). The garage which I use instead of main dealers fitted rear suspension arms (...

Thanks for quick response, I will try to follow instructions however never used you tube before, its always good to learn new skills. Thanks again.

Hi All Im trying to to find out how I can add a short video clip to my post in order to allow other members to hear a problem I'm having with a noise issue I'm having with my car , which the garage is finding difficulty identifying and rectifying. Look forward to all replies.

Sorry for taking so long to get back to you, however I thought some pictures will highlight the situation better. As you can see there is plenty of drain holes and you cannot see any corrosion when these plastic shields are in place, and the MOT station are not allowed to remove them, hence the...

I did contact Mercedes Head Office via email highlighting exactly what had happened including attached photos, they sent me a standard reply to take the vehicle to the nearest retailer in order they can have a look at it,I then phoned them and advised them the car could not been driven, only to...

The mechanic says he will return the rusty arms to me incase I want to take it up with Mercedes however going on past experience, I think it will be like talking to a brick wall.

Thanks for your post, I have been questioning myself on the prospect of keeping the car or not. It is certainly worth more to me than any money I would get by selling or trading it in. If I was doing a normal mileage I would have no hesitation to get rid however with the mileage I do I feel it...

I have to thank everyone for all the helpful advice since my first post, Just thought I would let you know my car was taken into the garage today. The mechanic informed me, when he took the plastic shield off the off side and slightly tapped the lower suspension arm with a hammer it just fell...

Lived in Cumbernauld all my life and I was not aware the location has any more road salt than other places. The car has never been kept outside and is always kept in the garage even if I'm going out in it later in the day. Don't have a boat or a jet ski, come to think of it my car is not even...

I think it does however will have to check, one things for sure I'll have a hole in my wallet after this fiasco is over!!

Dieselman is spot on, there is no way you can see the arm with the plastic shield in place and due the small bolts that hold it in place being rusted, there is no easy way to remove the shield, I literally had to tear it away from the rusty securing bolts. I have attached a picture of the arm...

Car was always serviced at main dealer up until 2 years ago when I decided to take it to my local garage, cost of mercedes main dealer was too much for a car only doing approx 2000 miles a year now.Thanks for taking an interest.

Last MOT'd on 07/09/13 with a recorded mileage of 45201 , mileage now just passed 47000 miles last week. I'm now paranoid about the safety of the car. I don't now what to do after it is repaired. I love the car to drive and I know if I get rid of it I won't be going back to mercedes due to the...

Thanks for the quick reply however like a lot of other Merc owners, highlighting rust issues to Mercedes is like banging your head off a brick wall especially when the car is a certain age. I have never thought about VOSA, I will have to look into this. I will certainly get both sides done for...

Yesterday when driving out of my street, I just turned a corner at low speed and the back end of the car made a clunking noise and it felt as if I had a puncture. I stopped the car, all tyres OK however the back end seemed low. As I was only about 100 yards from my house, I gingerly drove the...
