c class 2.2d sport coupe
just got my first mercedes 04 c class sport coupe 2.2cdi (facelift model)

i don't know much about the cars so far so would like some advice

is their anything i should be looking at changing or doing to make it a better car performance/comfort wise

if it was a subaru i would know what i should be looking at doing but i must admit i'm lost on the mercedes

so far i'm quite impressed with it so far

thanks for any help
 
forgot to mention so far i have;

re-set the gearbox and fitted a mp3 connection to the stereo
 
Hmmmm you've bought a diesel, and a 2.1 litre 4 pot at that! A tadge different in the tuning stakes than a Scooby Do, that's for sure!

A re-map will increase power/torque and maybe fuel economy too.

I believe they can also benefit from decent shocks/springs too.

Make sure you get it properly serviced before embarking on upgrades as it would be preferable to have the car/engine/gearbox in good shape first.

Is it automatic? Have you had the ATF and filter change done yet?
 
Oh yes, service items...

Check out if any 4-years or 2-years items are due:

ATF and filter as said above, brake fluid, coolant (though some later models have a 15 years service life coolant...), cabin filter, air filter (unless you intend to fit K&N), fuel filter, and DPF if relevant...
 
yes it's auto

just been serviced in the last couple of months so i'll check what has been done

thanks for the help guys i'll get in touch with the people reccomended
