Well I am thinking of a c class and my engines are the m104 2.8 or a 230 kompressor. I am wondering about economy as the car will never see a city so country roads and some motorway usage. Is there a big reliability issue with either engines and has anyone used LPG on these motors.
Hi all
I have a 2006 C180 Kompressor (1.8L engine) which has done 75,000 miles.
I have heard horror stories of the single timing chain (I believe this model has just one chain) stretching then breaking on this model sometimes, in the region of 70,000 - 120,000 miles, and causing damage to...

Hello
New to the forum so would really appreciate some help.
Want to get some work done to sort out the low end gutlessness of my otherwise lovely, low mileage 2010 car. Want to get to 200BHP and 200 lb/ft ideally (from 156bhp/170 lb/ft).
I know this will take more than a remap - exhaust...

Hi everyone, I require as a matter of urgency the procedure for bypassing the immobiliser on my c230k. If anyone can help I'd be more than happy to pay for the information. My phone number is 07432558936. The car is stuck at a bodyshop taking up space and they're starting to get annoyed. Any...
The pulleys on my 55 Kompressor are knackered and in need of replacement as they're sounding awful. I heard its a common problem with these cars.
I need the idler, tensioner and twin guide pulleys.
Obviously Ebay has some parts but I'm sceptical incase they're Chinese rubbish. Eurocarparts...
Hi guys
Am thinking of buying a clk and been looking at a few around 2002.things that concerns me is the mileage. I have narrow Down to 2. 1's a vert and had covered 132k and the coupe covered 128! Are these relatively high mileage for the German engineering? Are there many problems with the...
Hi all, First post
Can you guys tell more about the background behind the launch of the W203 sports edition MY2005 particular numbers built, colours and the differences between the C180k and the C200k (both have 1.8 engine it appears!). Can't find much info on the interweb so thought I'd...
Hello
Sorry if this has been covered before.
My CL55 Kompressor occasionally goes into limp mode under hard acceleration. My cheap obd reader said it was the throttle position sensor, I've already had the intercooler pump changed as that was causing the limp mode too.
I've heard that...

As per title the wife's slk230k's kompressor has no mention of maintenance in the service book or history and at 69,000 miles would it be time to have the kompressor oil changed and if so is it an easy/reasonably priced job?
151495127263 eBay item no. It's in perfect order and being stripped for its engine and parts too build a race car. is it a good thing or a bad thing? it's a shame i think because if it was smashed up' it would've been a perfect idea but in mint condition i think the owners crazy ??

The small section of roof glass between the windscreen and the sliding sunroof glass has been smashed on my car. Does anyone know where I might be able to get a replacement part (not through Mercedes direct) or what the part number would be?
Hi Gang,
I'm looking for a new car to replace my recently sold CLK55 AMG.
I've been considering quite a few options but I'm quite keen on a 211 E55 - ideally an estate.
So if anyone on here has a well cared for 211 E55, please get in touch.
Fair price paid for a decent car, willing...
Hello people. My mom has the 180 coupe and a few weeks ago it started missing on idle. And if you were to rev it it would feel like its going to cut out. Took it to a Mercedes specialists near where i live. They diagnosed the secondary air pipe as the problem .They changed the said pipe...
