    engine/gearbox vibration

    Hope someone can help, and apologies if this has been covered before! I have a C220cdi auto - 2003 - 03, 205000 miles! When car is in drive, but stationary, there is definite vibration, if I put in neutral or park, there is not as much. When in drive and moving as normal, everything seems ok...

    Inlet Manifold - C220cdi

    Hi Guys once again! Had a distinct loss of power on my 2003 C220cdi (187000 miles.) Naturally assumed it was the MAF, but I'm being told by my independent that it needs a complete inlet manifold plus motor! Has anybody any comments? Looking at £950 for total job inc. parts.:( Your help...

    C220cdi 2003 - Electronic Steering Lock

    Cheers Malcolm. The noise I describe, is the noise that the key makes when it enters the ignition. There now seems to be a louder, less refined noise. Any thoughts? Cost etc? Once again thanks for taking the trouble to respond.

    C220cdi 2003 - Electronic Steering Lock

    Hi Again, I posted yesterday regarding the "noisy" ignition, when inserting the key. After searching around, and speaking to my independent, it would seem that there may be some problem with the electronic steering lock. Apparently, they sometimes go, albeit very rarely, and when they do, they...

    C220cdi 2003 - Possible Ignition Problem

    Hi everybody, I'm not sure if I've got a problem coming, but in the last couple of days, when I insert my key into the ignition, it seems "noisy," i.e. noisier than usual, with a different sound. Is the ignition on its way out? Can anybody shed any light on it. For your info, the car has...

    MB Body Parts

    Hi Everyone! Is there anywhere out there other than the Stealers, where I can buy genuine MB body parts, specifically front bumper/spoiler parts for C220 2003/03? Or do I have to just swallow their prices? Any help, greatly appreciated. Cheers!

    C220 Loss of Power

    Just to let everyone know. Had the car sorted. As the majority said, it was the air mass sensor (a mighty relief!) The turbo pressure sensor was also showing a fault which according to the indy, could have been due to the air mass sensor, but for the insignificant amount of money, he changed...

    C220 Loss of Power

    Thanks for everyone's positive input. Car has been on diagnostic, and showed up a fault on air mass sensor, and possibly this has affected the turbo pressure sensor, so for the sake of £20 +, they are going to fit one of those as well. Picked car up, technician said he had reset everything...

    C220 Loss of Power

    I sincerely hope that someone can shed some light onto my problem. I have a 2003 C220cdi, 135000 miles, I am the only owner from new. Within the last few days, whilst I was on the motorway, cruising at around 80, I tried to accelerate, and there was absolutely nothing there. This problem has...

    When an 'A' service is really a 'B' service

    Just to throw a slightly different light on the matter, my C220Cdi, has just covered 101000 miles in less than 3 years, and every single service apart from the very first one has shown up on Assyst as a B service. But, here's the interesting point, the last service showed up as a B service, but...

    Extended Warranties for High Mileage Cars

    I own a 2003 C220cdi, and my wife is on her second A Class. My car has covered 100,000 miles, and at the end of my 120,000 mile contract which runs out on the 9th May, I will probably have covered c. 110,000 miles. At various times during the life of the car (same supplying/servicing dealer...
