Thanks for the replies, I tried to measure the discs today but couldn't be as accurate as I would have liked as my calipers only have flat edges and a depth gauge, but the depth from the lips of the discs is roughly 1.7mm on the front discs and 0.5mm on the rears (disregard my first post "wear...

Yes it was under the three year original warranty

Recently had a service and informed of 60% wear on rears and 20% wear on front discs. I would like to check these wears myself, is this a visual estimation of wear that I've read about elsewhere or is there a more accurate way of measuring how much wear you have left on a pair of discs using a...

Hi guys, Just to say thanks for the advice, armed with it I went in for my MB service and asked for them to investigate the alloys, stating the water under the lacquer reasoning - emailed me later that day to say they had four new AMG alloys and would be putting them on that day under warranty -...

Either or Put it in park on a slope, apply the foot parking brake, release the brake and the car rolls back a foot!!

Hi guys Thanks for the replies - it's the three year MB manufacturers warranty as it's an 11 plate. Don't have any paperwork describing it but have phoned MB dealership who say it is registered under warranty till July. Any gotchas to look out for? C250 CDI sport estate Cheers Dan

Hi I've recently bought a second hand C250 CDI sport estate which is coming to the end of its warranty. Does anyone know of a list of items covered by warranty that I can check before booking it in so I know I've covered everything? I've already checked the injectors (been upgraded) and am going...

Ok guys thanks for the heads up. Will MB replace the nuts with non rust ones then? Or will it just be a pointless swap to the standard rust bound ones?! Are MB alloys different from other alloys? I've never had an issue on previous cars having used hand car wash places before.... For future...

HI Just bought an 11 plate C250 CDI sport estate still under manufacturers warranty. The alloys look as if water has got behind the laquer or something (read this can happen) and a lot of the wheel nuts are rusty. Can these be fixed under warranty? Thanks in advance Dan

Hi, I've recently bought a C250 CDI sports estate with AMG alloys. The surface of the alloys look stained almost as if somewhere down the line someone has tried used a chemical cleaner and left it on too long. I've never noticed it on other cars I've had. Can anyone recommend a good cleaner...

Hi, I've recently bought a C250 CDI Sport estate and it's coming up for a service whilst still under warranty for a few more months. Am I better off getting a MB dealership to do this service and cover any warranty items or can an independent cover things on warranty too? Things I'm looking to...

Even with the parking brake set the car still rolls back a long way if stopped on a slope....

I've checked under the bonnet and there's the new pipes with the blue writing on and corresponding "solenoid" on the ECU plate so I think I'm all covered on that front! Thanks for your advice

I have had it be a bit sluggish one morning pulling away but 100yards later I stopped in traffic and it pulled away fine after that. Does that sound like it could be something to do with the injectors? Cheers D

Re the injectors, it seems reading the forums tht the earlier models '09 were worse effected. Is there anyway of checking, without relying on what the MB dealer chooses to tell me, which injectors my 11 plate c250cdi sport estate has? I've only got a coupe of months left on warranty so want to...

Thanks guys, good heads up, the wheel nuts aren't great considering there's only 30k on it - didn't realise that's under warranty! Will check the injectors... Only done 80miles in it so far so nothing's apparent as of yet, although one thing I've noticed when I put it into park it settles back a...

Hi all Just picked up my 11 plate c250 cdi sport. Looking forward to finding out all things MB! Cheers

Hi all, Just bought a c250 sport cdi 11 plate, has 5 months or so left on warranty and just wondering if anyone knows of any known faults for this model that I can get checked out before the warranty's up? Cheers
