I bought it as a tokumbo. And about the scan, which scanner do u recommend I buy. Cause it's like they charge around 3000k and above for each scan to be done.
You didnt say anything about oil.A mercedes scanner is not for personal use and the one for personal use cant scan the gear.Pay for the scan and lets see the result.

Could anyone there help me out. I recently bought a MB C240 4matic, I was using it quite ok. I came to realize that sometimes the gear will stuck on the 3rd, without changing transmission. I have to switch it off completely, and on again before it works normally again. I took it to the mechanic which he recommend a flush out of the gearbox and a change of the filter and a new transmission oil, which I did. The problem still persist up till now. This is a car I bought and starting to love. And now this. Pls someone should help recommend what next to do. Thanks.
best oil to use is liqui moly top tec 1600. Quite pricey

I need an opinion and reviews on 2012 Mercedes Benz c250. The maintenance, reliability, cost and availability of spare parts and it tends to have low ground clearance is there any solution to it. Thanks
In fact, thats my C class pick of all the trims.

It is a perfect balance between the full power of a V6 and the economy of an I4.

Its a 1.8liter Turbocharged I4 producing 201HP. It has a 22mpg city and an impressive 31mpg highway. The C300 V6 produces 228HP but with a 17city/24hwy mpg.

I love the exterior design and the interior is premium. I particularly dont like the pre-facelift (2008-10) because of the absence of this engine and the dash board design. I have never been a fan of pop up screen so prefer the fixed screen in the 2012.

I have not used it and have no user experience to give you but since its a facelift, i believe all the problems with the pre-facelift would have been sorted.

Top Tec 1600 is available at 8k5 per liter.The lower 1800 is 4k but i have seen first hand what that can do,It cleans all dirt from the gear and the shifting becomes seamless.Great products for Mercedes .

Like Odubee told us that year (C200 kompressor Red top 2001 -2002).But that's like 18 to 20 year old now.But if you don't mind extra fuel cost just close eyes buy 2005 C320 and your life will never remain the same.

Why are u not considering the C240's, C280's and the C320's?

Naturally aspirated engines and V6 with more hp and great fuel efficiency.

The 272 engines are good but the 06s and parts of the 07s, as they are plagued with the balance shaft problems.
This one you claim is 87k mile may still have that issues, because it shows its ugly head between 60k to 100k miles.
A VIN decoder will help you find out if you are within the affected range ie engine serial number.
Also a VIN check can also help determine if the previous owners had fixed this problem.

Cam magnets and intake manifold are other things to consider .

I can't go beyond 60mph, my steering vibrates at that point until it gets down to 59mph. What could be the cause?

Secondly, I also noticed some sort of smoke which normally comes up once in a while, especially when I start the engine. On the long run it disappears as if nothing ever happened.
I met my mechanic and I explained the situation to him. So he said the valve seal is responsible.

Please I need your assistance on both issues.
Thank you.
