Just bought one of these and its lovely and I want to keep it that way :). Can you give me some advice on the general maintenance that I will need to do? (apart from check water, oil etc..).
Is there anything which is a common fault on these cars? And as its getting close to 100k in mileage...
Hi
December 1996 C230 Kompressor Sport Auto
Silver
Black Cloth check
140000 miles
Full meticulous service history
Original factory fit 17" AMG alloys
AMG exhaust
Long MOT
Will be re registered with a NI plate
Very tidy and tight car.
History of the car:
She was a demonstrator...
I've been offered a low mileage engine out of a C230 pretty cheap and was wondering how much of a job it is (obviously it'll be fitted by a garage) to swap for my C180's? There's not enough guts in my C180 as I live in a very mountainous area and I need something with more power without changing...
Helloooo,
Thought I would take some pictures of the c-class after a nice sunny sunday afternoon clean!
My new sports steering wheel:
I love it when shes all clean! :D

Helloooo
I have a facelift C230 Komp and I would like to know if it has a cambelt or if its chain driven. I can see a large belt at the front of the engine is this the cambelt or just for the supercharger?
What are the replacement intervals on belts/chains?
Thanx for any info!!
Mike...
I want carbon fiber but The trim peice around my radio cracked. Its a 1997 and I just peeled it all of planning for a new one. Is there a place that sells Trim kits? Thanks!
This is a M8's car, A genuine straight example!!

Hello everyone!
has anyone seen this grille on C230 SS or know where to buy it? I am not sure who makes it GAP or Expression. Appreciate your input!
Cheers.
Hi all
Im new to this site...and just happen to stumble upon it in my quest to find a solution to my issue.
I have a C320 2001 W203, last week i went to start the car and it wouldnt start, called the AA and they told me that battery was flat, i have since had a new battery put in (Bosch S3?)...
The damage doesnt look too extensive but then not alot can be really seen. If all 4 AMG wheels where there un damaged those alone could have fetched half the asking price. Then theres the leather and that engine. Wonder if NW_Merc might be interested.... :devil...
A very fine example of a well looked after W202 if you ask me. Quite like the contrast of grey leather with black inserts, pure genius that and looks professional...
Was once a nice car but dont look it any more, he says its repairable but it looks like its had it to me

Whats the panels opinion if it is...
Im shure i have seene this exact same Modified Mercedes Benz C230 Kompressor with alot of mods before on ebay also. Not shure i like all the mods but something different and personally i think it could benefit from a complete new interior...
Right guys, had the beast for a few months now and thought i'd start a thread on my modding progress :)
It's a late 1997 (facelift) C230 Kompressor with the sport package.
Got it for a very good price, mechanically sound but with a few other little issues, which i'll be sorting out as soon...
Its ovbious the guy his a huge fan of ALPINE products

I wonder why he has International USA front indicator lenses with the built in orange...
My car is now for sale and will be available from about the 17th May.
I have an offer from a local trader, where the car will go if I don't get any intetrest in the next 2 weeks.
For private sale, the car comes as is, minus telephone hands free kit, Sat Nav included.
1999 C230...
:confused: I've been stumped on ideas for the Non-K C230 that I own. I want to mod it like my other cars, but there is almost nothing out there. Anyone have any ideas?
I was thinking about KLEEMAN or BARBUS, but they don't make things for my car anymore or least not on their site or I'm just...
I'm not really looking to get another car but if the right one came up I could be tempted :o .
Took my C200 sport for its MOT test today and it passed without a problem :cool: apart from the tester telling me the front tyres are getting a bit worn :o .
I knew it would have failed on the front...
Hey all, I drive a 2002 c230 kompressor automatic. Is there a way to get rid of the rev limiter on my C230 Kompressor? In neutral it stops it at about 4100rpm. I'm trying to N-bomb the car to spin the tires. But when I go from neutral to drive it lowers the RPM's to about 2000 and then goes.
