Mercedes Benz doesn't use 5W20, 0W 20, as far as I can recollect. Those are Japanese engine oils. What it recommends are 5W 40, 0W 40, 10W 40, or XW 30. Choose wisely
So which do I use for my C200?

Turning indicator Lamp inside the mirror is bad change it. That's what the first picture is telling you.

For ESP Try start up your Mercedes-Benz and turn the steering wheel all the way to the right, then all the way to the left. Do this a couple of times. Turn off the engine. Restart.

Ok... Thanks boss

Greetings,
Please I need your advice on a Mercedes-Benz C230 (2006/2007 model). I have fallen in love with the car but don't know a thing about it cause I've never used a Mercedes before.
1. How good is this car?
2. What's the fuel economy like?
3. Cost of getting a direct Belgium?
4. Best oil for servicing?

I'll try to add up to what officialDJ has done up there.

1) Very good
2) it's a 1.8L, so very good
3) budget from 2m and above for automatic and clean title
4) full synthetic oil.

Good luck in your search for one.

Pls guys I need an experience and competent electrician for my C200 kompressor my location is ifaki Ijaye.

A lot of people have asked me to go to trinity in Apapa but the distance and traffic is my major concern.

Someone please help me with solution to this

I will suggest when parking put the switch to the "A" position, thats for Auto and switch off the car. If the fog lights dont come again then the switch is the problem. My C300 W204 has the same issue, its the parking light that stays on, sometimes its the left side parking light or the right side. After some research, i realised the switch is bad.

Yeah 06/07 model of the C230 is V6.

Please any knowledge of what the C200 03/04 model engine is called?

Like the one in the picture

Also, I've find it very difficult to open the oil cap, any head up?

The engine is called M271 1.8L, that’s what you attached to your comment. The C200 2000 - 2002 has M111 2.0L. After some modifications, M271 replaced M111 in 2003.

I presently drive M111 planning to upgrade to M271. What is your advice concerning M271 engines in terms of reliability and ruggedness?

To be frank, people I came across who used M271 regretted coming in contact with that engine. Some of them downgraded to M111, while some upgraded to M272.
To the best of my knowledge, M271 is not as reliable and rugged as M111. Currently am on M111 and if upgrading I would go for M272 2007 in order to bypass balance shaft issues mostly found in M272 2006.
You can go for 230 M272 2007 or one with M112 V6 (bulletproof engine).

Tell me more about this balance shaft issue with the M271 engine is it a factory defect, can it be manage or its lack of human maintenance because I'll be doing approximately 800miles weekly with the car what should I be worried about and what should I do to minimize any major problem.
