Sorry my Dear, just saw this now..its been long i haven't come here, cos i've been too busy, neither do i receive email notification on this

However, you need a new kompressor clutch..alternatively you can get a rebuilt one with clutch if you cant find the part. This will definitely solve your problem if you haven't solved it already. if it doesn't, just kindly let me know, there's just one more thing that could follow, i don't want to mention here yet untill you do that so that i may not sound like i am eliminating problems for you,else i believe this would definite solve your problem.

I fix my cars myself; it saves me a lot of time and money; i learnt from my bitter experience of leaving my car in a useless garage for months wasting my hard earn money and time; if i go to Mech, i tell them where the problem is and what to replace, i don't care what anybody may say after all ..in as much as i always get it right and my cars keep running all year round in top shape. Good luck

smartchoice: Check the container cover if ok...also check the hoses if they're well tightened or just re tighten them.

ninz:

Gracias, bro.
But why dont u hand over ur 'toy' to me? i'll preserve the dynasty, honest. :-)
Anyways, i'll get the 190 and will always keep u in the know.
Did u say 450k, full ops. in Lagos?

Gee2728: this magnetic compressor clutch which is it? The A/C or the supercherger's? because both have compressor clutch I guess?

otoidea: iv had all those replaced. js wondering how often one ought to top up abi is it a mercedes thing to fill water everytime

au.hanson:


Lol! it's my classical super backup, built for my taste and almost 0 percent downtown..i fall back to it full time each time my c misbehaves until i get my c perfected to that level too.

let me know when u get it, we will fix it together to ur taste..

Yeah, if you shop well you can get it in that range , 450k

au.hanson:


The superchargers..See, its simple; uninstall the kompressor(supercharger) and take it to a specialist to rebuild for you; afterwards you install it back 'kaskia'..its no big deal trust me...Alternatively if you see a rebuilt one, you can buy and replace while you keep this one as a backup pending when you would find and replace the clutch in it..it takes years for it to go bad.You would always be given 4 years warranty

I call it kompressor to differentiate it from compressor because that's the name. I'll give you a call this night , i'm still in the office battling with some systems controls for web applications..cheers

Gee2728: and some one on this same forum was trying 2 discourage posting our issues here. Tnx my guy ur rly God sent. I hope this may also be of help 2 any1 as regards the BAS/ESP lights, its easy 2 fix jst get a break light switch for abt 2K, then have a car electric specialist fix it under the steering cover and it does the magic but 2 make sure it works ur cruise control should be back fuctioning. Sovled mine ystday rly easy and by the way I drive a W202 C230K.

ninz: Happy Sunday, everyone. I have been doing a lot of reading on Benz 190 since I made up my mind (courtesy of dis thread) to go for the make.
There are two versions that have taken my fancy and I need the gurus to kindly assist my naivety, pls;
I am fascinated with the 2.5-16 Evo2 and 2.6 Sportline versions of 190e, both are rare/limited edition cars which i'd love to own one.
Which shud I go for, and why, pls?
Thanks for ur needed counsel.

Gee2728: the bigger the engine the more complex and technical it gets. But time has since passed and I dnt think fixing 190's wld be any issue jst make sure which ever u get make sure it does not come with error code b4 u pay. Made a similar mistake on my c230k which I bought wit the check engine lights and it cost me a lot 2 fix it.

Eyop: The Mercedes Benz gurus in the house i need your advice between the 2005 Mercedes C230 Kompressor and the 2006 Mercedes C230. Which of the 2 mentioned cars above is very OK in terms of handling and maintenance? What problems should one be looking at when using it? And in conclusion recommend the best.

otoidea: how often does one have to top the radiator on a 2004 mercedes benz c240? i used to have a handa EOD and id check the water every morning to find it still full.. maybe needing a top up once a week or once in two weeks. the merc has been a different story i have to top every day or every 2 days.. is this normal? and there is no leak anywhere iv changed the water container which had a leak.

Gee2728: I drive a 2000 C230 kompressor, from my little experience I'll suggest u go 4 the naturally asperated 2006 C230 which I bliv is a V6 so u dnt have 2 bother urselfe with turbo charging issues of the C230K.aside the brake disc and pad then maybe Mass air flow meter for the C230K both cars are not heavy cost 2 maint. Pls just make sure u dnt buy a car with check engine lights ON or ESP/BAS. Make sure its fault free there's no such things as a small fault in this german machines. But honestly with each year go by the quality of mercedes built keeps droping. My over 20yrs W202 car still has its leather covering as if it was made 2 weeks ago both some of this W204 hav seats that's I worn out already I guess its profit b4 quality now.

bong4: Guys i have been driving my benz for 4 years now. But right now the problem i am having is in the transmission. It is automatic. It drags too much and the RPM goes up to 35 or even 40 before the gear changes as i have to press the throttle down to effect the gear change. I have changed the gear box and even ringed the engine yet it does the same thing. If not that i loved this very brand of benz for its ruggedity and stability on the road. it would have been history. Please can someone help me out with this transmission challenge. One Love.

Gee2728: guy u no tell us wic kind of benz u dey drive. Then the changing of gear box was a hasty decision. U should have hav ur car diagonised by a professional first. It could be a bad trottle body, bad MAF sensor, bad supercharger or even spark plug.
