[W204] Ashtray?

[Maurauth]

Hi, I've recently bought a 2011 (pre-facelift) C250 Sport spec (don't know if that affects the interior) and found that where I assume the ash tray should be (under the silver sliding cover) there is just a rectangular rubber cover with a no smoking sign.

As a filthy smoker I was wondering if it is possible to retrofit an ash-tray and if so is it a Mercedes part or aftermarket?

Any help would be greatly appreciated as I currently am using the rubber cover as an ash tray haha.

The ashtray has been removed by a previous owner.

Did you buy the car from an MB dealer? If so, the car should have come with an ashtray.

Not sure of part no/price, but contact an MB dealer for a price.

My 2007 C220CDI Sport came with an ashtray, as a non smoker I removed the ashtray as I store my spare change under the sliver sliding cover.

This is almost certainly incorrect.

For a number of years you only get an ashtray and cigarette lighter if you specify it as an option (code 301). What the OP has described is the standard car.

I would suspect that it would be available from the dealer's parts department.

Thanks a lot guys! I went down to my local main dealer and have ordered in the part for about £45 inc. VAT.

Quick update, I picked it up today and it literally just clipped in, just an FYI if anyone else has the same issue and searches for this thread in the future

Non smoking cars without ashtrays have been a delete option for many years ; the space otherwise occupied becomes a handy little cubby hole .

It may well be that in recent years the non smoking option has become the norm .

Incidentally , if you refer to the handbook , Mercedes-Benz cars come with CIGAR lighters ; cigarette lighters are for more plebian cars .
