Hey guys just checked my dipstick and my engine oil is running low. Checked my service book and the oils which have been used are mobil 10w/40 and 5w40 shell helix ultra. I phoned mobilo and they recommended 5w30 semi synthetic can any one tell me the correct oil to use?
It is a 2005 c180...
Hi all. Have read through the relevant posts on here and other similar forums, but none solve this problem.
My Dad's C180K has been perfect since he bought it new in 2002. Last week he started it one morning and the engine revved a little higher than normal, but settled down. He went on his...
Hi,
I recently had a problem with my W203 when I filled up at petrol station.
The next morning the car did not start. To cut a long story short, the fuel I filled up with was mainly water. The local garage, emptied the fuel from my car´s deposit and cleaned it to remove and dry the water. He...
Currently I have a 1999 E240 class which I've had for coming up to 8 years.
Looking at a replacement in the form of a C180k / C180 CGI.
Having had a loan C180k SE blue efficiency for a week, I was surprised that the refinement is noticeably less than the above older car.
Due to the...
Hi Everyone,
I seem to have a bit of a grumbling noise around the area of the Power steering pump and the Alternator. I have sprayed a bit of Wd40 on the shaft of the alternator and the power steering pump but the noise is still there.
Has anyone experienced this noise before. ??
I also...
Hi Everyone,
I have a 2003 C180K Coupe.
The engine is a red top but I was under the impression that the red top was a 2litre and not the supercharged 1.8 Kompressor engine.
Can anyone clarify this for me.
Thanks
Hi.
I have a C180k Est Nov 07. I replaced ALL the tyres at 16000mls
Ive just had the first MOT,only just passed on uneven front brake pressure,but the guy pointed out that the rear tyres have about a 1000mls left in them which would give me about 11000mls! Can this be right to get what I think...
Coming home from work tonight, my C180k auto (2003) inexplicably lost drive. There was a clunk and then it was as if I was in neutral even though the lever was still in drive. I pulled over, switched off and on again and then it was fine.
Any suggestions about what might cause this please...
My lack of an owners manual leads me to this question - When using the oil check, the comp tells me to 'observe waiting time' - what exactly does this mean? I would assume (maybe wrongly) that I've left it too soon between having the engine running and checking the level. If this is right, how...
Hi guy's,
Great forum!
Could you please help with a problem i have.
I have a C180K coupe on a 55 plate, it has recently been to the garage for an MOT and failed on the windscreen washer not working correctly, the garage has confirmed the pump and stalk are working correctly and that the...
Having been on this forum a little while now, and viewed several threads in relation to my query - it goes a little like this. How much more bhp could I potentially get from my C180K Coupe without spending thousands?
I know there are insurance implications too so would be interested to hear...
The wipers on my wifes C180K coupe only work when I push to wash the screen not when the stalk is swisted, is it likely to be a fuse or a relay ?
Could the switch be broken & is this a common problem ? :wallbash:
As far as I know one way to spot a faulty coil pack when you have a misfire (and no code reader) is by the white stains on the plastic indicating overheating.
My car seems fine, no sign of trouble whatsoever and no fault codes (I do have a code reader).
However when removing the engine cover...
Hi guys,
I'm a newbie and hoping for some advice please... I have a 2006 C180 (Automatic) Saloon and thinking of having it re-mapped. Given the limited gains in Torque and BHP do you think it is still worth it?
Would it be worth changing the air filter or anything else to help increase the...
Hi,
Just collected a 2008 W204 C180k Sport. Awesome car and the best car I have ever driven. I'm in Coventry. I have placed a couple of posts on here and everyone has been very helpful. :thumb:
A common fault on the W203 is for the breater pipe to split causing an engine management error.
This is the revised version of the pipe, part no A 271 018 12 82
I paid £8 for this at MB, make me an offer. The pipe is new, clean and unused (I ended up with 2 by mistake).
I'm in a dilema. Not sure which car to buy. Both cars are Tenorite grey. The C180k has light grey leather interior with 25k on the clock. C200k has 5k on the clock with black half leather/cloth interior. I put a deposit on the C180 but dealer has lost the logbook so it means waiting till a...
I have just purchased a Mercedes C180 Kompressor Sport saloon 2008. The problem is that I want to run my iPod connected through the stereo etc..I dont really want to take it to a back street place so what choice do I have with Mercedes genuine options?
Im sure this question will have been...
