Well, having just paid out on a B3 service today for my C220 S204 BE Sport to the tune of £582, I did think for a split second I can see why people get tempted for the extended warranty deals offered by more mainstream makes.

Yes I'd have to agree the quality has left a sour taste. My S204 from new has had numerous failed of door handles, paintwork, Sat Nav, Radio and now one of the central locking actuators. It's lively to drive but it has been the worst in terms of niggles.

Cheers, I've given the dealer another go and we'll see where it gets us.I'll keep you posted.

Nope not a fuse, checked ask the boxes and fuses and they are fine. I'm getting really p....d of with the niggly electronic gremlins my ownership of theW204 has seemed to manifest. From new I've never been to a dealer as many times as I have with this car. Lovely to drive but just a bloody pain...

I've the UMI system installed on my audio 20 in my car.Everything was working fine for the past couple of months until a few Weeks ago when I suddenly lost the sub bass sound to any music played on the iPod or the radio. I could get mid and highs. I took it to the dealers it's still under...

Hi Ho , only time will tell, Like many before me, it seems once the car is running , you tend to forget the problems you've had and get all smug about the fact it's a Mercedes and every trip seems a joy. Everything running okay at the moment and the dealer has been Good so let's see. Hope you...

Cheers, Got hold of Event tyres and tried for some Kuhmo KW27's front and rear. They had the 245 in stock but can't source the 225 strangely enough (on back order). However they tried to fob me off with cooper tyres front but gave that a miss

GP801, CHEERS, Why is everything MB related so bloody expensive :-)

Cheers, Finally got the Navigation 20 coded to the car after a lot of to and fro with the dealer. All working fine and showing up on the multi function display. Loving the music functionality.

does anyone know if it's possible to fit the same size winter tyres all round on my existing alloys. I've a C220 CDI sport with 225/42 R17 front and the 245/40 R17 at the rear. I can find some 225's but am struggling with the 245 size issue . So can I fit 225's all round on my existing alloys...

Hi everyone, just thought I'd mention the fact that I've just visited my local MB dealer for some coding work on my Nav 20 and while I was there the service manager began booking the car in and said "oh yeah , you've got a wiring loom replacement as well?" My reply was "that's news to me"...

Cheers guys, Well I bit the bullet and waited till my C Class sport was due it's 'B' service. Went to Mercedes Bolton and got the Navigation 20 for £595 before v.a.t. with iPod, USB and aux service and included came to 1200 all in. Only problem so far has been the command codes for the clock...

Hi all, Just about to book my W204 MY2009 in for it's B service £359. Didn't have the iPod integration or Sat Nav fitted when ordered and have made do with a Tom Tom attached to a vent clip. However the wife has recently taken delivery of a brand new Eos MY2012 with iPod integration and I must...

Hi everyone , I know this is probably a question asked by many but how can I get a set of white error free LEDs to go in the eyebrow sidelights for my 2009 W204 Sport ? Who from and how much and are they easy to fit? Cheers

all done! Well, dealer replaced the panel and fingers crossed thats the last of the 'faults'. I half joked ,I'll be back in a month or so when the passenger door handle breaks! Met with a quick reply of "we've never had a problem on the passenger side sir"......we'll see!

Well, jinxed again, just when I thought the myriad of glitches my W204 ownership has experienced is over......BAM . I park up , go to open my door and ...snap, interior door mechanism breaks.... really. A car thats only 17 months old and the best part of £33k...... COME ON! My previous posts...

Well thanks for the suggestions , decided to go for the Pirelli P zero rosso 245/40/17w so now I'm £260 lighter, which I didn't think was a bad price. Thought of the Conti contact 3 but hey, I've made my choice so job done. Just Hope i can get a bit more than the 17.000 miles I got out of the...

Gents, After the nasty nail in tyre discovered today and £21 repair bill , closer inspection shows I'll be needing some new rears soon. What's the best tyre combo recommended for the W204 CDI Sport Estate. Also who's best for on-line price and fitting in your experience.I was hoping to replace...

Thanks Steve,Neil, I'm sort of in the "what, how much?" league when it comes to one off big bills! If the ATF isn't covered then it looks like I'll be doing ignoring the plan and stomaching the bottom line figure when the time comes!! taking the kids to school today and the good old run flat...
