Hi Shude. It is a relief that it is sorted. I was worried about somthing going wrong with the seal rings. Glad it was just the coils. I read about the modes you have done on your W202, especially the COMAND. It looks amazing! :thumb:I can't afford it at the moment!:( I am thinking of getting...

Hello! I changed the ignition coil and the coil extender yesterday. It was the coil near the firewall that was firing only to cylinder 4. Managed to get the coil and the extender for $50!:bannana: Coil is Bosch and extender is Beru. Quite happy with it till now. Runs really well. I had changed...

I tried to contact the MB agents here, but none of them sell of for less than ~300! I saw them online for $90! :wallbash: That is a really good DIY! The DIY I used here did not mention that I would need a really long extentions to reach the spark plugs. I opened up the cover, removed...

Hello thanks for the reply. I managed to diagnose the problem to one of the ingnition coils firing onlythrough one outlet. So one of the HT leads is not getting any voltage. I got the workshop to confirm it on STAR and they seem to think the same.:bannana: Now the issue of replacement, I could...

Oh okay, so after cylinder no. 1 that after disconnecting made everytihng seem okay.:thumb: I am getting the extender tomorrow from the dealer and try to replace booth of them to see if it makes any difference. If the HT leads are actually two different wires then I think they are fine...

Okay that is much clearer, thanks! Is the coil extender a different part by itself? In my case it is stuck pretty tight to the coil. I examined it when I took the ignition coils out and there is a small crack at the bottom side (~3-4mm in length). Other than that it is not degenerated in any...

Hi everyone. I changed the spark plugs today. The old one's did not show any obvious damage except blackening. Also, the spark plug from cylinder 1 had some oily residue on the threads. Changing spark plugs did not make any difference, neither did moving the ignition coils. In my desperation I...

Okay, got it! :rock: Hopefully will be able to post back what happens by the evening (if there isn't a giant fireball once I reconnect everything!):D Thanks everyone!

Hi grober. Thanks a lot. It did fail very suddenly. Is that possible for an engine spark plug/ HT coil issue? I am taking a spanner to the engine today to see if I can find out what exactly has gone wrong.:bannana: If it is an ignition coil issue, is there any way to tell which one of the two...

I got the part numbers from the Bosch website. THose parts are supposed to be compatible with the W202.20. But I think its a good idea to actualy ask the people in the shop before buying.:thumb: Copper grease sounds good! Thanks a lot!:)

Hi everyone. I have narrowed down the parts I may need. Getting all parts from Bosch to be sure.:rock: Ignition Coil: 0 221 506 002 Coil, ignition Daewoo, Mercedes, Ssangyong from Bosch - 0 221 506 002 Spark Plugs: 0 242 229 659 Spark Plug from Bosch - 0 242 229 659 HT Cable: Part No.: 0...

Hi Andy. Thanks for the reply. I think I will do jsut that, replace the spark plugs and see if that makes a difference. I am not sure about the ignition coils, I still havent opened it all up. But is it worthwhile to replace them while I am at it even if they are not damaged yet? The coils...

Thanks! I am going to take it to thw owrkshop sometime this week, it would be mostly Friday due to work! But sometime during the week I would take a look at the spark plug s and see if its all good or not. Would you be able to tell me what are the best spark plugs for this car? I know there is...

Hi artyman. I have not checked the ATF as of now. Is this the dipstick which says "MB workshop only"? I am not sure how to check it. Is there any way to do it? :dk: Thanks a lot! :) P.S: I just discovered the multi-quote option. WIll use it from now on. :D

Hi NW_Merc. Thanks for the reply. I would have to take it to the local dealership for the STAR. Its around 15 km's away. Would it be okay to drive it that distance with the misfire? I am not sure if it is the ATF because the problem started suddenly. I though oil related problems would manifest...

Hi everyone. I am new here. I have an Australian spec W202 C200 (1998). The car run was running smooth until yesterday when at a traffic signal the engine started to shudder suddenly and lost a tremendous amount of power. :wallbash: It was driveable but there is a considerable amount of what...
