Hello all,
Just picked up a w202 c220 CDI sport (year 2000). Surprisingly straight and rust free!
My first venture into Mercedes, had all sorts over the past few years, S4 Avant, Delta HF turbo, 205 GTI, Fiat Coupe Turbo, Golf VR6 etc so I'm not new to cars of this era and the potential problems
Which leads me to my first question:
The single wiper mechanism at the front works for about 3 wipes before fouling on the drivers side A pillar, clearly something to do with the telescopic wiper function which I've never seen before? Is this likely to be a full replacement unit or something more specific?
2) The boot doesn't lock, there is no specific boot key, should it be locking on the central locking or is it independent of that? What are my options? Source another boot lock with key? Anyone have one for sale?
3) The car only came with one key, how much work is it to get a replacement? It's the nice shiny chrome key.
4) Whats the cambelt replacement mileage on these?
Hope you can help me out
Cheers
