I have a non aircon C200 and according to haynes I should have 2 coolant temp sensors. One for the gauge and one for the fuel system. Euro car parts also offered me the two separate sensors. My car only has one et al aircon models? Can anyone confirm wether this is correct? Both other holes...

I have a pre facelift W202 C200 estate possibly breaking for spares. I just wanted to see if there was any interest in parts before I begin ripping it to shreds. So if anyone is in need of anything let me know. Pictures can be found here

After 4 months of hunting this bloody problem on the W202 engine :wallbash: I am giving up :mad: Even if I did get to the bottom of it in the end, there is too much to do elsewhere to make it financially viable. I have paid out already what I thought it would cost me to get the car up to a...

Anyone know if the seat covers from a saloon will fit an estate? Loads of saloons being broken, but cant find an estate for the life of me!

Right, slowly getting to the bottom of the engine problems on the old girl and am looking at bodywork now. The car is/was red, but has masses of laquer peel and paint fade where the laquer has peeled. Does anyone know wether a bodyshop could 'repair' the finish rather than a full respray...

Right then guys, So far I have had it on Star with nothing showing any faults. Replaced: Thermostat Throttle Body and ICV Spark plugs Next will be the lambda sensor, can anyone suggest anything else that may cause poor idle and high fuel consumption? Im getting to my wits end and am not far...

Ive found a throttle body, but its on a facelikft car. Havnt been to look at it. Does anyone know wether the facelift and pre facelift have the same throttle bodies? Thanks Mat

Anyone local(ish) to Oxfordshire have a 2.0 petrol throttle body and ICV that I can aquire? Even if its just to borrow until I can sort one out from the breakers(Will put money your way as a 'deposit' obviously). Got to do a 500 mile round trip this weekend and really dont fancy that with the...

Anyone recommend a good indi in the Oxfordshore area. Need to get her plugged in and find this bloody fault and dont fancy trusting her with any old garage as the labour costs will go through the roof with fault finding time! Dont mind travelling outside the county, but the closer the better...

So I replaced the MAF and still had all the problems so decided to do the bad home mechanic thing last night and start disconnecting systems to see wether it improved it/made it worse. Nothing worked until I pulled the vacuum pipe on the evap system then all of a sudden it starts to idle...

Evening Guys, thought I was having problems with my MAF as all symptoms went away when I disconnected it. So I bought a new unit, and it displays exactly the same symptoms as the old one. It is a tested working item. What else could be the problem? Im assuming electrical connections between...

Well, here is the old girl. As I said before she is absolutely battered! Had it professionally valeted on the inside yesterday and the seats still look like this! Dont know if you can see it too well in this picture, but all the seats look like the previous previous owners have not bothered...

What have you got? Cloth or leather not bothered Light colour prefered as have cream carpets The cheaper the better, the less stains the better. Although anything has to be an improvement on what is fitted to mine at the moment!! PM me or reply to this thread Many thanks Mat

Morning all, the C200 I bought the other day seems to have a problem with drive. When its going along normally it seems fine, but when you engage kick down, it drops a gear and then seems to really slow down. You get places faster accelerating slowly. Im assuming its the gearbox, but the...

So, im picking up the 97 C200 estate tommorow and was wondering if there is anything out of the ordinary to look out for on these motors. I know this one has been abused due to the state of the paintwork and the amount of rust on the old girl. So what is likely to be a problem? Thanks Mat

Might be a long shot, but im after OS and NS front wings, Bonnet and rear bumper (estate) all in basic red. Dont know the exact colour code as I havnt picked it up yet. Any help would be much appreciated Thanks Mat

Hi, am new to the Mercedes scene, but not a newbie when it comes to online car forums. Have transferred across to the dark side from years of Vauxhall and Volvo ownership. Ive just bought probably the rattiest looking 97 C200 estate in the country in what can only be described as pink...
