Hi all Recently the bootlid on my W205 C200 has stopped closing. It starts to close and then stops as if there's some obstruction in the boot opening. This happens with all the various buttons on the bootlid, drivers door or keyfob. I read somewhere about a reset procedure for a different MB...

Hi, Increasingly there's a smell of petrol under the bonnet of my 2015 C200. When it was serviced by MB Cambridge last month I asked for this to be investigated. I was told it was related to the crankcase breather (which seems unlikely to me) and that they needed to have the car back in for...

In the overhead panel on the W205 there are SOS and breakdown call buttons which I believe place a phone call to the expected service. However, I was wondering what services the info call button phones for you? Also I assume if there's a cost the first three years are included with the Premium...

I thought I’d post my early impressions now I’ve had my C200 (petrol) W205 for 7 weeks and have done 1,600 miles. It’s a UK specification car built in South Africa in April 2015 and has the Sport Premium Plus package and most of the other available options. The bottom line is that I’m very...

Hi all The requested production date for my W205 C200 was earlier this week and I've just got the VIN and engine number so I assume it was built on schedule or is just about to be built in South Africa. However, entering the VIN on this site: Checking VIN for Mercedes-Benz | CARInfo gives a...

Just before Xmas I ordered a new W205 from an MB main dealer and paid a £1,000 deposit. At that time the best discount available from internet brokers was about 10% which the dealer matched and offered a trade-in price for my current car which was about £1,000 below the trade price, as this was...

Hi, Just wondered if anyone has had the opportunity to test drive both Airmatic and standard steel suspension? Also does anyone know of a UK dealer with an Airmatic demonstrator car? I know the specification of the C Class Sport I'd like to order except for the suspension. Because I...

Just noticed some very attractive prices for the new W205 C Class models and options on www.Carfile.net For example, C200 Sport automatic £30,350 recommended on the road price is discounted down to £26,788.40 which is more than 10% off and the £895 Airmatic air suspension option is £787.60...

The August edition of What Car magazine (publication date 26th June) will contain a road test report comparing the new W205 C Class to it's rivals. Although there have been some first drive reports, etc. I'm surprised there haven't been any full road test reports in Autocar, AutoExpress or...

The Mercedes UK web site now has a configurator and prices for the new W205 C Class which, here in the UK, is due to be launched in June: Mercedes-Benz UK - Configurator - Saloon configurator Details look good so I'm really looking forward to a test drive. One question: Does anyone know if the...

Hi all Popped into a local MB dealer to get some info on the new C Class which I'm hoping to be in a position to order at the end of this year. The good news is that even though I want a lot of options, the C200 is within my budget. The bad news is that both UK option packages include the...
