Hi everyone. Long time lurker and occasional poster here; breaking my 230k because rust has destroyed the subframe and it can’t be saved . I don’t know if anyone on here still has any interest in these old cars, but mechanically she’s sound as a pound. I’ll list some of the bits I can think...

Afternoon all. Recently had the exhaust replaced on the 230k with a straight through stainless job, including (stupidly?) a cat delete. Just got the car back from the garage and somewhat unsurprisingly the car failed on emissions. However, it didn't fail by much at all. Predictably it...

Hi all, Getting some custom exhaust work done on my w202, anyone used either of these two companies before? Powerflow Stainless Steel Exhausts, Modified Cars, Hot Rod & Custom Vehicles, Norwich, Norfolk or Longlife exhausts in Stowmarket. Need a Cat delete and some welding done. Does...

Hi all, need some help finding the above. Think I may have sourced some from ebay, but it says they're not compatible with w202's. However, I'm like 90% sure they're what I'm after. Here's the link. The other day I was reading a thread and someone posted a link to an ebay shop that seemed to...

Anyone got a spare working Bosch MAF lying around? Both of mine are kaput.

Hi guys, just a question about my MAF. Been getting a lumpy idle on the c230k and the mechanic at my local indie said to check it for oil contamination. I removed the MAF earlier and it has no merc or bosch logo or any part numbers on it. I'm thinking I've got a cheap MAF on the car. Could...

So having recently purchased a nice low mileage c230k I was the proud owner of the fastest merc in the family. Clearly this did not sit well with my father stuck in his '05 clk 220 cdi. So, what did the old bu**er go and do? Bought himself an '09 plate clk 350 sport V6 less than a fortnight...

Hi guys, I'm swapping the door from my old c180 (w202) to my c230k (w202), the trouble is the c180 is 2000 and the c230 is 1998 and somewhere in that 2 year period mercedes decided to change the airbag connections that sit in the wiring loom under the door sill/kick plate. Am I totally...

As per the title really. Did not appreciate just how much trim removal that I would have to do, but totally worth it as I now have bluetooth handsfree and ipod/iphone, usb and 3.5mm music connectivity in my w202! Plus wanted to say a huge thank you to Shude for his 'How to' guide on fitting...

Just wanted to share some progress I was making in improving my new purchase the c230k. An infinitely superior car to the old c180 which has been relegated to donor car duty :D The c230 was not without faults when I got it, the previous owner had attempted to repair the rust on the wheel arches...

Evening all, wondering if anyone can help me work out why the main beam lamp on the offside and the headlight flash don't work on my car (facelift w202 C180). I've checked the extremely obvious bulb and fuse numbers 22, 33 and 34. which should be headlights and flash according to the fuse list...

Hi guys, I'm looking on eurocarparts for some ball joints for my C Class. Just wondering if anyone on here knows the OEM for that particular part and if it's even available on ECP. Any help is much appreciated. P.S Anyone tried changing these themselves? Was going to get a local garage to fit...

Hi all. So, as I was stuck in boxing day sales traffic the car began to overheat to the extent that the radiator fan kicked in and the engine coolant level light came on. we're talking about 100-110 degrees on the temp gauge. When I (finally) parked the car and shut the ignition off I noticed...

Could anyone recommend, or does anyone know of, an MB breakers in the East Anglia region? The nearer to Norwich the better really, but I can travel. Or is anyone on the forum breaking a W202 nearby? I'm in need of a windscreen wiper motor and a new one from Mercedes is, quite frankly...

Hi all. I'm changing out the brake discs on my C180, the post facelift model. I read on this forum somewhere that the brake disc sizes were changed on the front (and possibly the rear) of the C230K as part of some changes made during the production (in 1995/6?), but it didn't say if it was...
