Hi All,
Wanted to say Hi and give a bit of background on my purchase.
I used to own a 58 plate W211 E220 CDi Avantgarde but didn't stay in it long as it was far too comfortable and didn't feel any road bumps. So, I sold it after 6 months and ended up in a E90 330i M Sport. Now that this has gone, I am back in a Mercedes, this time a 2009 W204 C200 CDi AMG Sport.
This car is a bit of a project car as the person I bought it off had it parked up for 6 months when the MOT expired. The body work needs some TLC and the drivers seat and door card have rips.
Forgive me if this isn't the correct place to post what I've done to it so far and what is left to do.
To get it through the MOT, I have had the rear brake pipes and pads replaced all round.
Heaters went working - there was heat only when your driving. The fan wasn't turning, so I freed the heater fan from the engine bay by hand which was stiff. Still the fan heater didn't blow, I then turned the heaters on and manually spun the fan ….
Engine was running loud i think Oil, Oil Filter and Air filter have been changed.
The sport grill is damaged and sourced a replacement from shpock. I had some matt black vinyl wrap so ended up wrapping the silver bits of the grill. I will get this fitted once the below items have been replaced.
Noticed the car temperature drop a bit when I hit the dual carriage way
