Thanks for your response but then, is it all the W203 C230k that do not tolerate heat?

When this (heat) cant be avoided, what really will happen?

How much will it cost to fix it?


Apart from that, what else should I look out for?

Furrylow:

The c 230 k is a fantastic ride. It has its issues as every car does. I have owned one and have no regrets. Very fast and good fuel economy. Major issue is the engine does not tolerate heat, make sure u check for leaks as this will easily make car overheat. Once u on top of that, not much to bother about. It's a fun car, U'll enjoy it. Cheers

You only fix heating by replacing the engine bros.
No 2 ways about it.

Seriously I am not ready for a V6 just yet, particularly about it fuel consumption.

HeavenlyBang:

The C320 is a better-built car, engine is far more durable. That C230K will send you back to the village, it's a total piece of shite.

Get a 2005 C320 and enjoy your car.

The C320's fuel economy isn't bad. Take our advice and forget about that C230K.

I don't know how u are doing it
Do you know where to copy your car VIN number?, If yes, then copy the number, it should have 17 characters.
Then go online using ur Google or any browser type datamb.com it will bring for u free mecerdez vin check enter then option , you will see where it will require u to input the vin number then go to get data option.
It will search and bring our the car details for u. I hope this helps.

I just haven't made up my mind on a V6 just yet (coming from a W202 C180 background), please kindly recommend any 4 cylinders benz in the W203 model that is reliable for me. Thanks.

None are. If fuel economy is your issue, you should NOT be looking at a Benz.

I will say you should follow your heart bro.
If it's the C230 you want go for it.
No car is maintenance free.
If the C230 is a bad car as they are making you believe here you won't be seeing alot of them on the road.
Most of them telling you this doesn't know nothing about Mercedes Benz Cars.
Thank God you already have a Benz background, ask people who actually own the car about their experiences.
Not all these ones here who only read "Reviews" on the internet and start forming experts on Benz cars.
This was how some of my friends told me never to buy a Benz then. grin grin
That it consumes fuel grin
That its expensive to maintain grin
That there's no mechanic for benz grin
Now all of them wants to buy a Benz cheesy cheesy

seconded!
Yes, C180, C200 or C200 kompressor is his best bet.
The c180 and c200 may be economical, but will be a snail, but the c200kompressor will combine both power and economy. smiley

If you have issues with fuel difference that might not go beyond 20litres a week,what will you now do when that baby starts breaking down on you and cost an arm and a leg to fix?
Benz na money pit that should be gotten only if income supports it,else you won't like that investment after like 2 years of acquisition.

Do you know that even Camry muscle is so useless that the keys cannot roll down the glass windows?

Something Benz started in 1997!!

Hello guys, please advise me, is it good to buy a 2008 Toyota Camry. ? I heard it consumes oil when it reaches a milage of 80,000 plus. They said it's because the engine 2 AZ - FE, and it is better to buy an engine that has 2gr- FE which is a V6. Kindly advice. thanks

Re: Mercedes Benz Thread by Essont(m): 11:06pm On Feb 07, 2020
Apart from some corolla and civic I am yet to see any brand that beats my C180 on economy

Coming from a C180 I wouldn't want to go hard on a V6 just yet.
