c230

My father in law has somehow lost the knob off his mirror control :dk: Has anyone got one kicking about in a garage or workshop? Or does anyone know the part number? Its off a P reg C230 sport. Marty

Not sure what's wrong with mine. It doesn't illuminate when I put the side or headlights on so I removed the unit and checked the plugs were all connected and they were. I then changed the bulb but it still isn't working :dk:. The replacement bulb was from Halfords so maybe is isn't correct...

As I mentioned in my intro post, my headlining is 99% detached and sagging. I did make some attempts to re-attach it with upholstery spray glue but as it's the foam backing itself that is perished and crumbling it was a waste of time. Today I had a guy meet me at work where he inspected it and...

As title really. Im guessing no, but wondered before I go and do it, saving me a job. The way the car drives feels to me like on cars when the intercooler is struggling, but its a fair size and the boost is v.low, so kinda surprised if it is, and the odd shape pipework makes an upgrade not a...

I have just swapped engines over in my estate car and have many usable spares from the broken engine (timing chain) snapped. PM me your requirements and I'll let you know what's left. i.e. A/C pump, power steering pump, alternator and yes the kompressor is available amongst other things. I also...

As title, anyone know what it is? Mine doesnt seem down on power, to be honest it feels up on power to how I expected, but after hooking up a boost gauge to check it, I was amazed how low the boost is. About 3psi at low/mid rpm, 5psi mid/high rpm, and 7psi near the rev limiter (spikes to...

Few things... Has anyone fitted aftermarket exhaust parts to their W202 C230 Kompressor and got any proven gains? Ive seen claims of aftermarket manifolds giving 20bhp and exhausts similar mounts, but after looking under the car, I find it hard to believe :dk: The manifold is a tubular steel...

Hi there, Stav from Redline Magazine here. I just bought a W202 C230 Kompressor Sport as my new daily driver (as my main 'fun' car is about the least reliable, hardest to drive, and least economical thing known to man), and while I've always wanted one, I'm really surprised how good it is, I...

My neighbour is selling their Mercedes which is in lovely condition, so I thought this might be of interest to MB club members: 2006, 4 Door Saloon, Sport edition, Jasper Blue, 2. 5 V6 Petrol, 7G-tronic Automatic with steering wheel paddles, Traction control, ABS etc, Heated leather seats...

Hi All, Just wanted to know if it is possible to buy a brand new replacement engine and manual gearbox for a C230 Kompressor W202 1998? Would this still be avaliable from Mercedes and any indication of costs associated? Part Numbers? Thanks

Hello All, I have a 1998 C230 Kompressor that has now covered 151,000. Just had it serviced but there has been and still are two noises coming from the engine: one is a quiet sounding but fast chuck chuck chuck! second is a sound of maybe the timing being out? I mentioned it to the guys...

Hi all Ive just been looking at some pics on the forum and google, and have noticed that people have managed to change the colour of the display that shows the mileage on the instrument cluster. I was wondering if anyone can tell me how this is done and is it just a matter of changing a...

Hi My C230 K is making some horrid noises when I go over ramps... I wish to overhaul the suspension and want to know what I need to replace in order for the noises to go away...Im thinking the shocks and springs, should that remedy the problem, no parts have been changed on the car since...
