newbie here... I have just bought a nice old 1998 c250td classic, the car was cheap as chips and came with no service history, i test drove for a good hour or so, everything sounded ok, no rattles, quite a nice smooth old diesel for a 99k car...

This morning my 256,000 mile C250TD responded to a kickdown with a large amount of blue smoke from the exhaust and no acceleration. Within 30 seconds it had seized solid and the starter motor cannot get any movement out of the engine.
Nothing obvoiusly amiss under the bonnet and the timing...

Hi, Can anybody tell me what the problem could be with my C250Td. I bought the car ± 4 Years ago and the it did not run at all, though the engine then was just overhauled it would not start. After many man hours I decided to fit a Dastek chip as my diagnoses was that the engine is not getting...

I am looking for a good w202 c250td steering box.
There have been a few selling on ebay but the sellers Ive contacted seem unable to get the steering box off the car or even identify the steering box:doh:
I have tried to find a recon one but not had any luck there either.
Anybody got any...

Hi,
I know the older in-direct diesel engines are quite busy in their noise production compared to direct diesels and petrol. But I can pick up what I guess to be a certain diesel clatter (maybe on one cylinder) that I feel is wrong or shouldn't be there? Is that possible, maybe it's not...
Hi all,
How electronicised is the W202 C250td in terms of being diagnosed/programmed. I think I'm right in thinking it's a CAN system, what works on this network? (engine, autbox, alarm, lights, locks, windows/mirrors, command (not on mine, but if it did?)).
What off the shelf tools could I...
