Hi, sorry I could not help fella, just that I had exactly the same thing happen when I was driving the C320 during January this year, ( in terms of Brake failure/numerous other warnings) I just pushed the brake pedal down again to engage and pulled the lever out to disengage and it was fine, but...

I am not a tech but seeing as it is Saturday and some of the techs on here might not be available as they are with families e.t.c. I will tell you all I know about footbrake adjustment in a W203 Saloon,(not sure about coupe) which is that adjustment takes place by accessing part of the...

A fresh set of NGK's, 16 iridium plugs are needed, make sure all of them get changed, so go somewhere you know will do a thorough job. :) http://www.sparkplugs.co.uk/ Used these guys in the past, great service.

Hiya Whitenemisis, No probs, it was late.:) I see your thinking and it makes absolute logical sense, thing is, I have an older 2001 pre-facelift W203 C320 and mine has illuminated vent wheels. Just a thought.... Do you think it could be related to the luxury climate control option? Our car...

Yes, I do understand that they may never have been fitted to certain vehicles, maybe estates?? I did not mean to imply that your car had a fault, sorry.. Infact, what I was trying to imply, possibly poorly, was that estates built in Germany may not have been equipped with this type of...

Rory/Whitenemisis, Could it be a South African build thing, my car is a SA build, were the estates built in Germany? Seems weird, they are ALL out in both your cars.:confused:

My far left, far right, centre left and centre right vent regulator wheels all light up an amber colour with ignition on. What I wanted to know ever since my Kenwood head unit/fascia adaptor install is whether or not the regulator wheel for the central vent on top of the dash should light up...

From what the picture portrays, it looks fine to me.

Alot seem to run Gruppe M or Simota also, as for maps, really research, there are some decent maps but my advice is research before allowing anyone to flash the DME with their software and part with your hard earned, ask questions about what the specific map is like, is it a 'canned' tune or...

Great news, all went well, these panel filters are definately less restrictive, but people normally, mainly go for them for the fact they will last longer than standard ones, gains will be minimal. ITG are the best, when it comes to uprated panel filters IMHO. Good choice fella. Your car looks...

Hiya, Good call fella, I doubt you will be disappointed with the choice. Next, it has to be an exhaust upgrade/decent remap, but gains will not be excessive, more a driveability thing from my reading, along with fuel consumption increase at WOT, try some of the E46 forums for peoples...

Hi, How about an exchange? This lot seem to offer that type of service, not sure how coding would take place though.. Worth a call?? Automotive ECU suppliers

Hi Josef, Loving the new car, saw the pics in your thread. If you are looking for a stock airbox upgrade, ITG may well be the solution, very popular in the R56 Cooper S/dealer upgrade JCW/Factory JCW world, not 'over-oiled' to avoid potential MAF issues also. ITG Air Filters Worth a look...

Hi Nujon, Sorry you have not got to the bottom of this yet, guys like Jay, Olly e.t.c. who know their stuff will be along to analyse your results and hopefully you will be sorted, may be you could plan a trip to one of 'our' guys on the forum (even if it means on the back of a low loader) to...

MBK, please be very careful, from my understanding, sport contacts have not really been in production for a while,well not readily available in the UK, not sure about the sport contact 2, but the sport contact 3 is the current model, if someone sold you sport contacts 7 months ago, I would...

Could it be that there is a contact problem? When you have time, remove one by one, each 'eyelet'/'spade' connector and clean each ones surface carefully with some form of contact cleaner, then re-seat them so they are 'happy' and making good contact, try not to overtighten the terminals, but...

I like it on some cars, saw an e92 M3 the other day that was wrapped in matt black, looked really good to me, if the owner were to change their mind in the future, the wrap could be removed. Not too sure on the on the W208 tbh, may be, with the AMG kit and different wheels, I say go for it!:)

Hiya, may not help at all, but have you read this? http://www.mbclub.co.uk/forums/engine/25489-c220-cdi-w203-help.html

So it seems that the lack of a DPF on the OP's car is the reason, still would have been nice to see a 'latest spec.' 229.51 used though, surely can do no harm, can it??

Grober, this has got me wondering, say a car comes in like the OP's, why don't they put a 229.51 spec oil in it from the get go, or at least a 229.31 oil?? Is there something that I am missing?? Cheers:thumb: P.S. Sorry OP for hijacking, but this may be of interest to you also.:thumb:
