Hi all, first time poster - please be gentle with me.
Problem is a noise coming from the front of the car when driving, not while stationary under revs. Sounds like something is rubbing/vibrating/grinding. Only heard above 20mph. I have had the car on an inspection ramp and can't find...
My new toy, c230 sport estate Komp, has a bad habit of stuttering badly when the gas pedal is pressed firmly. I don't just mean the carpet denting foot slammed to the floor type firmly either. When driven gently and with gradually increasing pedal pressure its fine and responsive, but very...
Right guys, just took my car to Kwik-Fit (monkey's i know but closest place for a first inspection)

I rang up about this merc previous to buying mine, it has been relisted 3 or 4 times now, he had advertised it under his other name which had bad feedback from other cars he has sold. Hence the 0 feedback. He...

I drove our W202 230k over the weekend and was reminded what a fantastic car it is to drive, i don't drive it that much as i have the van and the XJ6, despite the cars 147000 miles it still feels really tight, if you know what i mean? Performance from the supercharged motor is effortless...
Thinking of selling the Wagon.

After getting my C230K back on the road earlier this year a problem with the idling has developed.
Basically, when you start up, under normal ambient temperatures of 15degC, the engine initially idles at 1,000 - 1,200 . After a minute or so, this drops to 800 or so. When the engine is warm...

Hi
Has anyone got any experience of one of these? 2004-5 C230, 320K Coupe.

thanks
The car is a W202 C230K manual. It recently needed a new head gasket at 228,000, because of oil leaking into the water, there was no leak from any of the cylinders.
Now there is an oil leak. The oil is running down the right side of the block and appears from behind the bracket which holds...
