    W204 brake pads

    Does anyone know if the sport brake pads fit the non sport calipers on the w204? on the face of it the measurements look right so guessing that it may well just be a different compound.

    How low can you go....

    Thanks for the reply and pics, looks very nice! If you could let me know what the ground clearance is for the front end that would be great, also if you have any probs with speed bumps etc. Thanks!

    How low can you go....

    HI all I have a 2010 W204 C220 estate, elegance model. I have fitted 18" AMG wheels but the ride height is looking a little 4x4 at the minute, I have been looking at the H&R springs to lower things but I don't want to compromise ground clearance too much. The H&R springs come in 2...

    What is remapping? Is it really beneficial?

    Which is where I refer to my earlier post - the headline figures aren't what matter - its the curve and the area beneath it that matter.... the 170 will more than likely have a curve which gives lower power lower down the rev range than the 140 all in an effort to raise the bhp figure in...

    What is remapping? Is it really beneficial?

    remap - although get a reputable one - I would steer clear of the tuning boxes (unless Brabus) and the cheapo £200 maps..... Once funds allow I'll be getting the superchips remap, unless I can be even more patient and save a bit more to get a custom map to push slightly more than the...

    What is remapping? Is it really beneficial?

    But as stated, the 220 should also be fairly safe, as all major components on the 4 pots are pretty much the same across the differing power levels........ I think it was the German taxi drivers that all used to buy the E200 instead of the 220 (big price difference) and then fit the 220...

    What is remapping? Is it really beneficial?

    Wrong...... The W204007 (C200 CDI non BE) and W204008 (C220 CDI non BE) both use the following part number as per the EPC: A646 090 10 80

    What is remapping? Is it really beneficial?

    remaps taken to extremes and done unsafely can and will cause damage..... but take the Mercedes engine lineups for example, some of these are restricted by the map to give lesser performance in order to meet insurance groupings and other targets for certain markets.... take the c200 and c220...

    2010 E200 cdi sport REMAP

    Oh almost forget, most remappers advise to remove the DPF as they are often seen as an expensive "consumable" given the high rate of failure of them on some vehicles......

    2010 E200 cdi sport REMAP

    I've been looking into remapping the c200 cdi that I have, I'm more interested in getting a standard 220 map (or even a tuned one) put on my car as I have done a lot of research and there appears to be absolutely no difference between the 200 and 220 non Blue Eff models (W204007 and W204008)...

    2008 W204 C200 CDI engine knock ?

    What oil was used in the last service? if it isnt the correct one then the oil cannot get through the tiny holes in the hydraulic tappets - similar thing happens on the 1.4 VW engines, excess top end noise when cold unless you use the correct specified oil.

    C200 remap

    I've been toying with getting my 59 plate 200 remapped.... as part of this I've done a bit of research into the differences between the 200 and 220 (204007 and 204008). I found the following are all identical items between the 2: displacement Compression ratio Cylinder Head Camshaft...
