As much as i love the benz brand i cannot help but feel buyers of his w202 were ripped off. I bought a 1998 C200 with only 48k miles with full MB service history - a completely immaculate car. The car now has 63 miles on it but ill list all the stuff that has gone wrong with it
Failure of MAF sensor (twice)
Windscreen wiper motor gone - doesn't extend up and down
Water leaking in the passenger foot-well
Window switches not working
Boot release switch broken off cover for fuel doesn't always open with remote
Electrical problems with ventilation switches the eco light flickers on and off and the fans go up and down .
Interior trim the door handle plastic bit came off
Gear change plastic bit came off
Steering wheel switches came off.
Bonnet release switch came off
Both sets of keys failed and i had to spent £233 from Mb for a replacement key
And now to top it off apparently the crankshaft sensor has gone.
Appalling for a Mb with such a low mileage and a full service history . to put this into context my previous bmw 318is didn't miss a beat and did 134k miles and never let me down.
Anyone else with similar views / experiences. Seriously has put me buying other Benzs. such a poorly made car the interior feels flimsy and poorly made
