I have problem with my 2001 Benz w203 c200 kompressor as it has refused to start.

Before it stopped working, it displayed check engine light and ' stop engine off' on the dashboard and I experienced hard starting for 2 days before it stopped starting.Now, the car has refused to start and different auto electricians have come to inspect d car and they scanned it n said it is d brain box
Over 10 brain boxes have been tried on it but all to no avail. Two complete brain boxes with keys were tried but it still didn't start.
I urgently need help.

Hello guys, i want to buy my first car which is the w204. Please i need your help on
1. which issue comes up the most in the car, so that i will be ready for it.
2. Am I missing out on anything on the facelifted version? Or na body difference only.
3. Most importantly, na used one i wan buy. What are the main things i should check e.g say driving a high mileage car, like at what mileage should i be worried for a w204.
4. Lastly those that have a w204 (any version) please i would like to hear some of your experiences before and after buying the car 😁.

Thank you all.

Sorry for the long questions 😊🙏

Buy the facelift. It's significantly better inside.

Check suspension, AC, electronics, starter motor, and the other usual inspection points.

I have an E550 Coupe which is built on the W204 platform. Most issues I've had have been electrical (battery drain, starter motor, alternator). All around the 100k like mark.

Guys this is an advise to avoid these Car washes that use this high pressure water gun to wash cars, especially careless ones!

It's currently costing me almost 2 hundred thousand to fix my 2016 CLA250.

1. How they did it I don't know, but some how, water got into my left head light and my chargers got burned. Cost of changing those, 60-70 thousand naira!

2. My car had a parking break sensor issue some weeks back. It would not leave parking break. I called Gazzuzz (this is an appreciation message to him too). Man's a gem! Called him and he picked on the first call. He was so nice and suggested ways to help.

Unfortunately I didn’t exactly have the tolerance to start digging through all the Mercedes Benz padding to get to the ASICS he spoke of, lol. Finally fixed it and it cost me 25k

3. Just yesterday, my car started showing blind-spot assist failure. Pointers wouldn't work and AC would switch off on its own. Took it to the tech, he ran a scan and went ahead to fix it. This one cost 50k.

Then the techie told me. Avoid those car washes. Water from their high pressure spray gun gets into certain places they shouldn't and those cars and water are not exactly friends. Just as Gazzuzz told me when I called him over the park brake error, man asked if I had been "swimming" with the car lol!

I also randomly remember my first C300, also got an EIS fault directly from the car wash. Car had to be towed to the mechanic from the car wash!

So from today, I have resolved to do my washing by myself! My hand no cut! God bless us all and give us funds to maintain these elegant pieces of engineering we drive! Selah.

Modified: I forgot to mention that for some miracle, my passenger back seat is currently a pond! How water got in I don't know but my rugs are soaked and dripping water. Anyone else suspects the culprits? Yeah your guess is as good as mine!

Ivan18888888888:


Hi , Pls I noticed you mentioned using a 2016 Mercedes Benz Cla 250. Are you still using it? I have the same model and I'd like to know what engine oil you using for yours

Sell that FWD junk and get yourself a true mercedes

You're driving a wannabe mercedes.

No pun intended .

Ivan18888888888:


I have no interest in wasting my time engaging with you “peasant” . It's abundantly clear that you haven't, and probably never will, lay your hands on a 2016 car until the day you take your final breath.

Good response but pls ignore the guy forever.

Naso those Jap box users dey burst enter our thread.

What makes you so sure of your assertions.

Fact remains - the CLA is a useless piece of FWD junk without a true mercedes soul...
Cheap interior plastics made for students, and not true mercedes enthusiasts..
The 4matic versions and ///AMG?
Manageable.
You don't even know me to call me a peasant.
Sigh...

Ivan18888888888:


You're seriously messed up, dude. I've said it before and I'll say it again, you're nothing but a pathetic peasant. I can tell you're one of those car fanatics who can't even scrape together enough to afford a premium car like a Mercedes. Instead, you roam around the internet, devouring unsolicited criticism just so you can spew your sick opinions and try to feel included. But let me break it to you – you're sick, and you need help. I'm not even sure you grasp the basic concept behind why the Cla was even launched. Do us all a favor and slither away to your slum hole. Get a life, you sick, worthless peasant!

OfficialDJ:

You don't even know me

Here's evidence. https://www.nairaland.com/2653841/uber-partner-lagos-please-share/5219#123120823

My ///AMG will buy that FWD soulless junk you call a mercedes 3 times with money left.

Stop blowing your trumpet with that stupid mistake of a car mercedes made.

I'm pretty sure the CLA was manufactured as an entry level mercedes to cushion the competition of Toyota's Camry and Corolla.

Go and sell that shit and get a proper mercedes..

I won't drown you with insults as you're not worth the banter...


Capice?

Ivan18888888888:


Listen here, Mr. Peasant, I don't even need to know you personally to see through your pathetic lying ass. Before I even bothered engaging with you, I took a quick glance at your previous posts and saw the true you. It's clear as day that you own a beat-up accidental 2008 CLS 550, imported from some garbage scrap yard “ Copart”.
You're a complete low life and asshole! And I'll keep on saying it - you're nothing more than a peasant and a wannabe who's desperately trying to fit into the world of Mercedes. But let me make one thing crystal clear: in your miserable excuse of a life, you will never, and I repeat, NEVER own a premium 2016 Mercedes car, you piece of shit.


Oh, and here's another thing: if you have the audacity to claim that the CLA class was manufactured to rival the Toyota Corolla, then where the hell does the A class fit in all this? You're not even worth engaging in a constructive debate, because you're a complete facade. It's evident that you're a prick-hole who desperately needs attention .

GETVA LIFE YOU SICK SCRAP YARD MISERABLE ASSHOLE
