My cylinder head has to be replaced as a result of failure of the gasket caused by a sticking valve. Is this common on a 2003 model C200K. The stealer has been unable to get MB to pay for any of the cost!
Lo all !
Im really keen on boosting the performance of my car. I dont think the standard power is doing any justice to what the engine can really do.
where do i start with this car ?
Hi all,

Hi,
Am in the throws of purchasing a w202 c200k tip. sport estate. From my researching I've gathered that the engine in these is a bit of a bas*ard child. I beleive it actually is a 2litre (as opposed to the one in the equivalent w203 being a 1.8), presumably it's the same basic unit as fitted...
Anybody know if there is a way to get the Temperature displayed instead of the Speed in Km/Hr. I know I can get the temperature if I scan through the menu, but in these cold climes of North Scotland it should be in constant view for safety's sake!
I've spotted a local garage selling the following car which I may be interested in..

I've always liked this shape of C-Class(W2??) but have some questions that I hope someone could answer:
Do these models have a cambelt or...
Has anyone had the ecu upgrade for a W203 C200K? What results did you get? Having read their website is a pulley upgrade necessary when they quote a gain of 40BHP just through the ECU? Is it such a bargain at £250?
I'm now thinking do I need the bigger pulley for more power and have tried...
I was wondering how to increase the power of my car and what have others done to theirs. From looking at the wiring for the boost control I see there's a pressure sensor in the inlet manifold which operates the 'wastgate' for the supercharger, has anyone tried messing around with the sensor...
Hi All
I currently have a C230K Coupe 2003 model. I am trading this for a C180K Tourer. When i was making a decision i noticed that the C180, C200 and C230 (my model) have 1800 size engines. Are they the same motor with different outputs on the supercharger?
If so, what is the difference...
After many hours of sifting through the data and checking 6 VINS against each other I can suggest the following findings about the M271.
* If the engine is 2005 spec then it will be specially upgraded already with low noise parts that were recently introduced.
* In all M271 2005 the 5...
Any idea what I should be paying to get this sorted, seems to be blowing aroung the edge so I doubt it's the gasket. I could get it welded but the cost will be in the labour to remove and refit.
I'm trading it in in 6 weeks so need to keep costs to rock bottom. I'm in Leeds/Bradford area if...

Fellow club member suggests that C180, C200K, C230K (2001 onwards) is the same engine.
I trust his knowledge, but how far does it go.
- blower module
- Computer settings
- some belts on the front
Where is the threshold for making one engine into the other ?
What is the latest...
