Hi, At the back end of last year I tried by C32 on AutoTrader I didn't pursue it's sale as it was near to Christmas, I had a few enquiries and test pilots who came to visit but these appeared to be literally that. Decided not to sell and waited until the weather picked up. Now we're through...

I'm sad to say that my beloved AMG C32 is now for sale. Brief Spec :- W203 C32 AMG C32 in beautiful Caspian blue - 105 000 miles Stunning condition inside and out. I bought this car in Sept 2007 and used it daily until my little boy was born in 2010, then my partner used the car on a daily...

Hello folks, It's a long time since I've been around these parts, 2 nicely running W203's means that I don't really frequent as much as I should. How that has just changed ! Last week the serpentine belt idler pulley was making a racket.. to be fair it's been grumbling for a LONG time but...

Hi, I've got a problem with my W203 C32. Both my fobs fail to unlock the car. Changed the batteries in 1 fob and it still doesn't work. I can open the car with the key (alarm sounds). Once the key is in the ignitiion the alarm stops. Then it's possible to lock and unlock the car with the...

Hello, Just today the C32 W203 started making a clicking noise below the steering wheel on engine start. It's a loud click to say the least which repeats about 5 or so times. I suspect that it's the "flaps" in the vents which have stuck in the drivers footwell area. No matter what I can't...

Folks, Could do with a bit of advice on what to check. Currently got my Dads E320 CDI (1999). Now it's a bit on the leggy side, but I've driven it quite a bit. Dad warned me that it's got a bit smokey. Now really that was somewhat of an understatement. My observations :- 1) Smoke on...

Bit of a random thread, but I'm looking at buying some motorsport tyres from ebay, however the seller says pickup only. The location means I can't pick up, but I'll arrange transit. Anyone any ideas on how much it costs to ship tyres ? Will be a set of 6 (yes 6.. strange I know). Thanks

Hello, My brother has an E320 CDI which steams up like hell. The blowers work flat out but the vents put out naff all ventilation. Anyone know if these have cabin filters ? If so where they are located. Much obliged. Mark

Hi folks, Would anyone have the tracking / alignment settings for the W203 C32 ? Mines chewing off the NSR outside and OSF inside, so gonna get it tracked up. If anyone has the settings I'd much appreciate it. Thanks Mark

Given the fact that my fronts are a little ... erm abused I think is the word I'm after I've decided to put the Winter tyres on. A little over kill some would say, but as I've got em I don't see the point of fitting new tyres until Spring on the front when I've got these hanging around. So...

Hi folks, Anyone know the "service A" costs for the C32 ? Mines due shortly (<1200 miles) and I might need to start saving and scrimping for it. Currently got 55k on the clock and all is well. I might get the gearbox fluid changed at the same time as it appears to be quite "clunky" at the...

Hi, Off to Le Mans next week and was looking at the folding seat arrangement in the C Class estate (2002). 40/60 split. Can fold down 40 (1 seat) but leaves 2 seats up. I want the other way round. 2 seats down 1 seat up. However the "combined luggage cover and net" stops me. The manual...

Hello, It's been a while since I dropped in, but now I could do with some help. My C32 has no spare, infact it has none of the parts for a spare... fastening or anything. Comes with a nice can of gloop for repair. Not exactly useful on our annual jaunt to Le Mans. Sooooooo the plan is to...

Had a bit of a clean up in my Dads garage today. This photo doesn't include the following which are now on a certain Auction web site :- 5* Escort track tyres on 13" rims 4 * Pug 205 1.6 Alloys 1* random BMW E36 328i tyre. Top shelf left to right. AMG rear, set of (5) toyo's for...

Doh darn it. Taken my C32 in for it's Intercooler to be replaced, and was given a loaner (Enterprise C180) whilst it's in. During the checks of the car they marked it down as having a dent in the front wing. I saw it and thought nowt much of it, this was on Monday AM. Tuesday washers were...

Our Peugeot Rally car runs "F2" tyres for some of our events. Question is are they road legal ? OK they don't exactly look 100% legal now do they ! They are E approved. Do have wear indicators within the tread patterns. They DO NOT say "not for road use" or anything motorsport. They are...

I was taking to a mate of mine about the auto box on the C32, saying that it annoyed me sometimes when you manually selected a gear (say 3rd) by knocking the box left, then flooring the throttle and it would kick down... Mate said that he thought the boxes had a total manual mode such that 3rd...

Yet another C32 issue ! Under braking on rough surfaces (say on a catseye, braking zone markings etc) the front suspension appears to "knock". It's only evident on rough surfaces, and under braking. Rough with no braking it's fine. The design of the top mounts looks as though it has some...

What is the recommended coolant / water ratio ? I think I've a tester somewhere, but can't remember what it should be. Ta

Folks, Sorry to post in General, but I could do with some contact details for DC UK Customer Services or Service Manager. Background. My C32 has been a total disaster since I bought it back on the 1st Sept. Intercooler Pump failure (incorrectly diagnosed until 4th visit), now it's using...
