Introduction of Paulo Neves from Portugal

[pnevesfoto]

Hello everyone,
my name is Paulo Neves, I live in Portugal and I am an enthusiast of Mercedes Benz in a long time ...
since the W203 model came out to the market that I always dreamed of having a station ... that dream has now been fulfilled ...
however there are some details that I need to solve 100% satisfied with my purchase.
so far detected some faults / malfunctions:
• sporadically goes into limp mode, I can not identify what happens before to highlight the cause, but I suppose it's a dirty MAF or dysfunctional.
• there is a click when I turn on the car, repetitive, coming from behind the radio ... I suspect a broken rod, in the air conditioning system (passenger foot well)
• the volume button of the Comand / SATNAV does not work, despite everything else working perfectly (AUX input, CD Player, Radio, GPS ... etc..)
• on the left side, front, there is a parking sensor that goes into failure in the most humid days or when I wash the car ... sunny and dry weather, works flawlessly ...

I hope I can count on your goodwill and expertise to help me make my MERCS impeccable and flawless ...

Welcome Paulo!

The issue with the clicking you describe sounds like one of the common faults on the W203 C Class and W209 CLK. I believe it's due to a broken plastic cog, unfortunately to fix this typically requires the removal of the entire dashboard!
