So which do you recommend as an alternative to the Mobil 1?

HeavenlyBang:
Do whatever works for you. We didn't contribute money to buy the car for you after all.

auhanson:
This engine doesn't have any issue but expensive to buy unlike the c240 and the c320, if you mean the c180 kompressor? though its much more economical than the c240 and c320 that carries 12 plugs and 6 coils, pwhereas it carries just 4 plugs.

You will certainly have a lot of mind blowing issues if you are careless and does not stick to the rules:
1.Dont swim water with it to avoid hydrolog because the kompressor hoes faces downwards and can suck water easily unlike the c240 and c320.

2.use the correct transmission fluid , mercedes benz fluid for lasting and durable transmission. It has a very strong tranny system. If you may use any other like the ATF dextronIII though not recommended, make sure you change it before 100000miles of usage, that's the hacks for poor guys.
else you are on your own.

3. Make sure too you use the recommended oil, common here is mobil 1 10w40 or any other 10 w40 for synthetic oil change but not 20w50 oils etc. if for any reason you may wish to use non synthetic oil, make sure is something in the range of SAE 40 like total classic SAE40 and flush it on or before 3000 miles or 3 month, which ever that comes first, that is another hack(Reason being that these modern oils have all the additives and minearals components needed to clean and maintain the engines if you stick to the recommended weight, not w50 pls. I don expect any support here because many don't know this. It is saver to do this for 3 months than to run mobil 1 for 1 year in an old car like this. I expect a lot of argument here but that does not change the fact) Note please that the timing is de factor.

4. make sure you use the right coolant for the sake of your engine and transmission because the coolant runs through the transmission as well to keep it cool . Anything above 0.3 volt when measured with a multimeter in your coolant bay positive and negative terminals dip inside the coolant there should not be used , because it kills the system over time. I strongly recommend for a good practice that you stick to the Mercedes Benz coolant and flush it after every 200000 miles , this may take like 7 yrs or there about depending on your driving habit. And MB coolant will read about 0.01v to 0.09v which is very good incase you buy fake.

5, use the recommended fluid for your cooling system too and you will really enjoy this car. .Thats is much i can remember

Also, if you can use platinum plugs, not necessary per say, though this could last you for 7 years. and clean your throttle body , MAF with MAF cleaner and your air filter regularly to keep up with the power as you may always be using our normal fuel(non premium fuel) so that you may continue enjoying your car without lose of power and other limitations that those who don't know experiences all the time. With these you will hardly be visiting the garages

Essont:

Essont:
Not imaginary na, just want to know if it worth buying the car with a bad steering pump then replace there after also to know if there is any peculiar issue with the 03' C200k that I need to know. No vex...... This will be my first car, don't want to regret it.

pek:
I don't pretend. Bogus means fake.

drhappy:
I got a good buyer for it and got this recent lady from a childhood friend who came home last December with the car loaded with goods.
Dude told me to drop any amount for it when he was going back after subtly stating he paid 420k for clearing.
I eventually dropped 650k with the intention to resell but after knocking it around (unregistered) for a couple of weeks now, I have made up my mind to keep it. I had always seen the E-Class as too bogus from afar but my intimate contact with one is highly refreshing

samintegrity:
Already did. Thanks once again

HeavenlyBang:
Toks is probably cheaper. OP is on something strong.

The W163 has the be one of the ugliest cars MB ever built. W164 is a big improvement, design-wise.

conductor1003:
Now is not the time for asking who opened your cage. Just be happy someone took out his valued time to liberate you and your friends from this self-induced asslicking and cock sucking of a mediocre article as ordinary as a car.

Just buy a car and move on y'all 17-year-old kids will just be here fantasizing over a N1.5m C240 that needs electrician every 2 weeks.

legalwealth:
You heard it right. The two cans of ATF to be used cost for as low as N13,000 each
and you might need to buy it twice or more but you might be lucky it will be once.

CityNGR:
Apologies not accepted. Benz owners are kings and not drunkards. I will advice you to seek out your colleagues on the derailers paradise thread
