2005 C230 Kompressor. Nice car. Be careful when buying, though.

What's to watch out for please?

What's to watch out for please?

Issue with the radiator may cause transmission damage, supercharger failure, the i4 isn't exactly the most durable engine out there. Watch out for overheating, too.

The interior of that car also tends to absolutely fall apart at high mileage.

If I've been inside ten W203's, seven have had really shitty interiors. Door handles broken, glue everywhere, etc.

I own a one and I've never experienced that.
Solid dash
Solid leather seats.

He's not correct...interior falling apart is not a common problem in 203's.
Nothing lasts forever u know.

Don't! W123, W123, W140 W202 W210 generally lasts far longer than the offending w203!

[quote author=ChibykeNet post=71342934]Please Benz Gurus, I need your advice on this issue:
I bought a Mercedes Benz C280 4MATIC 2006, from America, it was delivered, but the car is far way too low for the roads in the East. Please is there anything I can do to raise the car up, a bit?

Thanks

Most C Class 2001-2006 come with 205/55/R16 tyres
You can upgrade to 205/60/R16. There is significant improvement. While some use 145/55/17

Please, I need information on how much is the stabiliser linkages (left and right front) for w203 4matic.

Is the ground clearance for the w204 same when compared to a Camry of same year? Is there anyone driving a w204 and if yes, how do you cope with the ground clearance because vehicle seems low to me even though i love it?

.

egesie:
What's the price range of toks '07 MB w203 C350 6MT?

Good luck finding it with a manual. Don't think manual W203s were sold in the US.

true sir 2007 c350 don't have manual trans only the 2007 c230 sport....

Says who? There's manual on w203 2007 C350 only that it's not much in the USA. Very scarce in the USA but you will have more of stick shift in Europe but may necessarily not be a 350.

It's just like the w204 C350 Sedan that is scare in USA but you have a lot of C300 and C250 in sedan but more of the C350 in coupe

wow i never knew the w203 c350 had manual trans and even here in naija i hardly see the c350 w203 only the c230 and c280..

but why are the c350 scarce does it mean that much of it were not produced??

My ex neighbour had a 2006 C350 manual and when i asked why did he prefer a stick shift? His response was that price he got it ordinarily wouldn't have gotten an auto if the same car was auto tranny.

I once saw a 2007 C350 manual advertised for sale on cargurus and that was the only manual of it i saw then. And yes, like you indicated, production for C350 was not much even on auto not to mention stick shift.

Hi Mercedes Benz gurus, I need help for my C280 4MATIC 2006, my Windscreen Wipers doesn’t work all the time, sometimes it will start working when I turn Combination Switch to navigate left and Windscreen Washer doesn’t spray water, despite the fact that the water tank engine tested okay. Every other functions in the Combination Switch works perfectly well. I need help, I don’t know what is the issue.

thanks for your anticipated assistance.

It's likely open circuits (most likely corrossion).
A scan would point you in the right direction

Good day all, please which transmission fluid is recommended for 1996 Mercedes e320.

Pls what are the major differences between the 2005 c230k and 180k same year in speed, economy and maintenance?

Where can one buy genuine Mercedes parts?

I need door mats, front bumper and rear mirrors.

- C240 ran up till 2005. Rebadged as the C280 in 2006.
- The 2005 C240 had a different infotainment system. Post the picture of the car's dashboard/instrument cluster.
- The C240 is a V6, while the C230 Kompressor is a supercharged i4. The C230K is more powerful than the C240.
- The C240 uses an M112 engine. Really reliable! The balance shaft issue is found on 2006/2007 models that use the M272 engine.

Sorry I got the picture of the dash board late.
Yes it's a v6.


I HV used it for like 3weeks now.
Its really powerful.
Great acceleration.

But my major problem with it is it's fuel economy.

It consumes fuel like hell.
Like 4km/litre. At its best: 5km/litre.

That's very poor fuel economy.
I'm thinking maybe there is a fuel economy problem with this very one.

Iv used kompressor w203 (i4) for a while, and it did like 9km/litre.
I had thot the difference WD be little.

But this consumes twice as much as most good fuel economical cars.

My mech wants to look into the nozzles.
Said there may be something wrong with the nozzles, hence the high fuel consumption.

Pls any hint bout the fuel economy bout this car??

Did my findings, its meant to HV a much better MPG.

That's 10mpg. It shouldn't be that bad. Even Mercedes V8s aren't that bad. Something is wrong with your car.

Yeah, something is wrong.

What part of a car in this case is responsible for gas mileage??


Meanwyl, what did u derive at from the pics of dash board??

Scan your car first before taking it to the mechanic.
