differences

I am interesting in buying an audio 20 with bluetooth for my w203, but am confused with the two different models, i have seen a MF3890 and a MF2860, the only visual difference i can see is that one has sqaure buttons like the old audio 20, and the other has round buttons. can anybody help me...

Hi. I just got hold of a P-Reg C230K, and its quite different under the bonnet to the slightly later one I had in the past. Cable throttle rather than electric, totally different inlet manifold (throttle faces sideways rather than upwards), and so on. Is this correct? :confused: The...

Hi, My first post and Mercedes. Made the switch from Audi to Mercedes recently and must say I now know where the "Class" in models designation comes from. What a car, amazed at quality, fun of driving, service, everything :). I am looking at switching my pristix wheels for some Pulaha 18". I...

Does Merc use different maps for their ECU`s for same model but exp: Classic and Avangarde? Its obvious Merc uses the same engines between models - like 320CDI in E class might have less aggresive maps to CLK with same engine. It will be due to model expectations, weight and others. What about...

hi there all, Just wondered what the difference was between the c180 and c200? i have just recently bought a c200, but is is a 1.8 engine? was just a little confused, any help please? Thanks, James

Ok so we know that Mercedes say that you get less power in the 'E' Class (55K AMG) than in the more expensive models. Do we have any proof of this........... dynos etc? I have heard it said that it is just Bulls**t and it was just to keep the people happy that were paying for the more...

Hello Chaps, First post here so I'd better say hello to start with, so Hello! I'm off to look at a low mileage C200K at a main dealer this morning and quite possibly buy it. However, doing a quick check with Glasses Online it says that the car is a 2006 Model Year, although the registration is...

Hi , is there any difference in spec to red diesel over white ,apart from the obvious colour diff I ask because having just bought a GTI ed30 the previous owner said you must run it on BP ultimate fuel ,I realise this is petrol but i started to think is there any diff in diesel TIA

Hi, I'm new to Mercedes Benz ownership and was just wanting to know the differences between classic, elegance and avantgarde. I've just bought an avantgarde and want to know the options each type came with. Cheers, Dan

The tyres fitted to my 18" AMG rims are; Front 245x40 / Rear 275x35 This is a difference of 11.25% (75.5mm diameter difference (230.91mm circumference difference)). I know they are meant to be fatter on the back, but the difference to me seems to be quite a lot! Any comments?

what I want to know is the height difference between the different types of suspension. Is the sport suspension shorter than the avantgarde suspension? how many inches? and what about the amg suspension? thanks!

Hmm. I hate long journeys, it usually ends up in a brainwave:crazy: We have a 56k mile s430 lwb, 2000 vintage, with very very high spec (distronic, vented seats etc). We can possibly inherit my late fathers a class lwb (52 reg) which i carefully sourced for him, would help us with our...

Anyone know if the seat covers from a saloon will fit an estate? Loads of saloons being broken, but cant find an estate for the life of me!

W210 pre or post facelift? I've got an adequate pile of money burning a hole now I've sold my old car. I'm pretty settled on a W210 as the replacement, having owned a 2001 E220CDI Avantgarde about three years ago and a C250 diesel a few years before that. This time I'd like some more...

as title, prolly been covered a trillion times but cant find it in the search! does anyone have a definitive guide to trim levels? ie what is standard for say a c180 elegance? also i have just taken delivery of a nice grey leather interior for a 202 estate, and will be looking to replace the...

Fired up the 107 after it's winter hibernation and after an initial easy start, it cut out. Traced it to a seized fuel pump. Replaced (temporarily?) with one from the tandem dual pump setup off a deceased W124 320e. This is a smaller dia pump from the standard. Car started easily and seems to...

We have a 124 300TE 4matic that has 4matic problems that are not economic to repair so we are going to make it 2 wheel drive by changing the transmission. Does anyone understand the differences between transmissions that have been fitted to the same series cars. Specifically I would like to know...

Hi Guys, Apart from the interior differences, what other differences does the W202 sport have from it's classic and elegance counterparts? I'm assuming here that engine wise hasn't been touched. Obviously I can see that the stock suspension is lower, but are the brakes any bigger? They seem...

Guys Can any of you tell me what the exterior differences are between the pre-facelift and facelift models. The only difference i can see if the front bumper below the number plate and obviously the headlights. Are the rear lights the same?

My apologies if this is all obvious, but... I put my C230K back on the road this weekend. Nothing unusual in that, but then I started noticing the little differences from my W124... 1) I used to think the switches - lights, centre console - on my C230K were good - I just realised they are...
