[W202lover]

i got a 1999 W202 C200 and the milage , clock and temp. r not showing , sometimes some lines from the digits show up , but its not clear at all!

can anyone help me with that ? do i need to replace the whole thing , or is there a fix for this problem

You MIGHT just be lucky that its a dodgy connection behind the dash, quite a common problem, my clock packed up once & then came back on its own !
With any electrical problem (especially on a 202) your first check should always be check for mucky/loose connections, also mucky blades on the fuses.

can i fix that on my own or should i visit a shop or something ? and how do i take out the whole dash ?!

Check the fuses as mentioned first. Not the whole dash, pull out the instrument cluster and check the connections behind that. Do these two things before anything else.

if its pre facelift (i.e not the bif display) then it will just be a blown bulb.

where is the fuse box located , and how do i access it ? and what the name/number/code/color of the fuse that is for this kinda problem

i really appreciate your help guys and excuse me for sounding stupid but i don't know a lot about cars technical stuff

Fuse box is located under the bonnet on the driver side infront of the windscreen.

There should be a fuse chart under the lid as well to help with what is what.
