I have been offered a numbered Mercedes C320 at the rate of 600k and from my reckoning, I'll have to fix some of the body parts for it meet my taste, namely: tyres, ac, dvd player, body work and spraying. Please, I need advice from Mercedes owners and enthusiats who have knowledge about this particular C320 and possibly a review on this trim.

chukel:
C320, 600k? Bad A.C? By tyres, you mean suspension? Which one is DVD player? Won't discourage you. But looks like it may end in regret.

Let me say the obvious -- the last person to work on your vehicle did an incomplete job; probably skipped some

caution procedures.  I don't know the approach to which the ball-joint(s) (both ought to have been replaced and at

one labour unit) service was done.  The battery ought to have been removed if any of the ESP family would be

disturbed from its rest.  This is how you ended up with the steering/wheel angle sensor malfunction.  The

malfunction was to be cleared by re-engaging the angle sensor.  The procedures below would re-engage it.

*  Crank the engine with no throttle application
*  Turn the steering wheel to the extreme left till it comes to a complete lock and the same to the extreme right
*  Centre the wheel
*  Switch of the engine. 

This should have been done after the service (if he took the battery out).  Also the ESP & BAS will default to the

malfunction mode.  So, the wheel angle sensor should not have been replaced in the first place and the second. 

This is the most direct from what you have given me that should dissolve the problem but there are other issues

which I will try to feed' you on.



With the MB tool not able to establish a relationship, you need to inspect your harness connector to the ESP.  It is

probably faulty or maybe disconnected.  I am not sure about this but I think the early C Classes of that lineup had

connector issues that were prone to fail.  I don't have a C Class and can't verify that.  If I am incorrect about

this, it is something in this segment.  Also inspect your harness. 

There is also a way to reset the ESP (and it isn't what you do on the instrumental cluster) but I can't see your

engine completely to determine your suspension and your car build (though it seems to me it's a 7.01 and earlier). 

The procedures vary.  You'll also need an MB tool to recode it. 



A mechanic should inspect the following.  These (but not limited to) will trigger an ESP fault.  This is also both

corrected and preventive maintenance.

*  The left front wheel sensor  (Take caution to this since this zone got some recent attention)
*  The right front wheel sensor
*  Left rear wheel sensor
*  Right rear wheel sensor
*  Left front brake pad contact
*  Right front brake pad contact
*  Left rear brake pad contact
*  Right rear brake pad contact
*  Pad and rotor wear for all wheels
*  Left/Right Front/Rear brake calipers

and above all

*  The rear SAM control module (just inspect, they never go bad). 



Also, get the wiring right if anything has been altered.  The steering controls must function.


If all is good, then you have a faulty ESP module. 



There are two numbers I will give to you.  I know this man and he is the first Mercedes purist that I know that is

Nigerian.  From what I understand, he was also trained and worked for the Nigerian army on their convoy vehicles.  I

learnt from him that everything must remain as the engineer put it or you should be working there.  Another thing is

that he doesn't steal and would refund what's excess from part charges.  However, he is a bit pricey than other

mechanics.  Be prepared for genuine OEM parts only because he wouldn't use otherwise.  The numbers are 08034047024

&& 07025625064.  Tell him one of his ExxonMobil clients referred you. 



That goes for every other person Benzing or drives a BMW and some japanese models. 


Whoever you choose, arm yourself with these information.

Hello house.

I use a 2003 w203 c180

Sometimes ago, my fan belt tore. Discovered a visible straight line tear on the belt, from which the belt started disintegrating till.

Changed the said belt and I've been using without any issues.

Upon servicing, I noticed that the threading of the changed belt has also began to break, hence it's on its way out.

My question is what keeps tearing up these belts. Mechanic has rolled the pulleys and tensioners and he said they are in good condition because I suggested maybe the rollers are the culprit.

Any other ideas or suggestions as to where and what I can check pls.

Thank you

The C63 is a high performance hardcore sports sedan, the LC500 is a luxury grand tourer. It's not meant for hard sports performance. It's also heavier and it's tuned to give softer feel.

They're two different cars meant for two different purposes.

When it's time to test the long distance journey travel of both cars in everyday commute, then you'd see the LC shines better than the C63

AmuDimpka:
Well I am not in the position to analyse .... I think the race guys have their standards and engine specification .. and I think they come in V6 or something....

The race was amazing, isn't it ?

kingreign:
LC is a V8.

At times, you should also realize that most automotive journalist are paid to favour one against another given a particular parameters and as such, you should do an independent research to come into conclusion over a matter.
An interesting race it is I presume (never bothered to watch it).
