Dude you don't obviously like Benz. That's fine. Why not get the Fvck outta this thread. I even prefer to ride a 190E Benz to that old rickety company owned Hilux whose engine has been ringed twice that you drive.
You are also a Drunkard.
While you went digging as typical of a Mercedes jobless fan boy who can only afford the types murtala Muhammed was killed in, you somehow failed to see that i also own a 2015 Corolla and a 2015 Ford ranger,
So I can actually tell the difference between good cars and rickety old mercedes jalopies,
Keep consoling yourselves untop cars that are old enough to vote for the upcoming elections ,
Any benz older than 5 years is just not worth it,know this today.

Your statement in bold shows that you have no knowledge about Mercedes. I don’t own one but the car you mentioned as him having is currently a classic and it costs more than your 2015 Ford Ranger and 2015 Corolla (that’s if you can even see that classic to buy).

Just watch it bro.
It’s best you take the humble pie now and just “pass”.

Guys, I'm thinking of purchasing a c200 kompressor w203 2006/2007 as my first car, but I saw that someone here advised against older benz models. The person who's helping me import it from Germany says the car is reliable, and is waaay cheaper to maintain than more recent models. What's your opinion, guys? Should I change my mind and go for a more recent w204 or should I stick with the w203? Your thoughts are appreciated.

Buy a car within your budget & a car you can easily maintain. C200 w203 is reliable but if you can easily buy & maintain a w204, go for it.
It's ironic seeing people buying 06/07 Japanese cars on a daily basis & it's fine by them but these same slowpokes come here to say an 06/07 Benz is old

If that’s the car you like, then go for it. Don’t buy what people want you to buy. Rather, buy a car that when you look at it in the morning when you awake, you’ll smile and say in your heart; “that’s my ride”.
I don’t see anything wrong in owning an older model vehicle. People still buy the Mini Cooper of more recent years. While the car is pricey, it has never appealed to my eyes.
By the way, I think the 2007 C200 compressor is either a w203 coupe or a w204 sedan.

You may want to consider the w203 C280 or C350 for the 2007 model year.

Goodluck on your choice.

After scanning my C300 4matic it brings this code . Any help?
You seem to have a faulty fuel pump or a vacuum leak. But do a proper diagnosis first before you do anything else.

Please guys and ladies in the house, can anyone proffer a solution to “Tire pressure monitor inoperative”




Initially changed 3 tires, then i got the message, gaged tires to see if it would solve it, no luck, scanned car, error message said 3 sensors out of 4 were having miscommunication, so I removed all four tires, checked each of the tire pressure sensor, copied out the ID number, rescanned, programmed and inputted them on a system, error message clear, drove about 30 minutes and error popped up again

Car type: 08 c300
you need to do a tpms diagnosis. I know someone that can do it for you if you dont mind his name is Femi 08092757438 that is his number.

They said I should come ask here. I just got a small boo, a 2013 C300 AWD.

1. Need advice on the best plug for break pads

2. Advice on the best oil to use for the change

3. Original oil filter plug if in the house

4. Do and don’t of the car advise would be highly appreciated

5. Lastly, for the AC can I top up the AC gas or empty it and refil with a new one altogether

Thanks all and God bless you as you help a brother
Is there anything wrong with the A/C?? No?? If so leave it.

Thanks for your input. I'd love to go for the C350 for its power, but I opted to go for the C200 Kompressor as it provides a nice balance between power and fuel economy, even though it's a bit underpowered. How's the C350's fuel consumption?

Thanks man, preciate it. I can easily get a w203, but I'd have to extend myself a bit, and probably wait an extra month or 2 to get a w204, and I checked the cost of parts of the w204, and the prices are scary. 70-90k for the side mirror, 120k for the front lights, 90k for the rear lights, 150k for the steering, etc...
