w202

Hi Alll Firstly hello I've recently bought a 1998 C200 Auto Esprit Estate and am generally really pleased - it's immaculate for age, no rust everything working. First car I've felt proud to own! I'm determined to do more DIY on this car but am pretty much a novice but given the age/price I...

This morning my boot lock failed. Chucked something in the boot, went to the shops, then the boot wouldn't open when I got there. At first, I could hear the whirring of the servo (or whatever) when I pulled the internal release switch, and also if I pressed the external boot button with all four...

Hi Ive got a 1995 w202 c200 and I was wondering if you can swap the 4 speed auto box for a 5 or 6 speed auto? Wil it just 'bolt on' or does it involve any messing around? Cheers Chris

Hi, As some may know I have two W202's, a "P" reg. C230K Sport, and a "T" reg. C43/55 AMG. I bought the C43 knowing it had some dreaded rust worm around the normal places namely all four wheel arches, and when it went in for a gearbox oil change at PCS in Horndean Ollie commented that there...

Hi, I have encountered a significant issue with my much loved 202. It looks like I have blown a fuse, which controls the central locking and boot. The guidance I have had is that the blown fuse is in the boot, which will not open either by the fob, key, or console switch. I have pumped litres...

I have replaced the drivers door and airbag. Now the airbag light stays on all the time. I gather I am meant to buy a coder unit to reset this. I had a look on eBay, but all the ones I could find had a small semi-rectangular plug but the car has a big round (~2") socket with about 30...

Hi All, Does anyone know where I can get some information on the C36 rear suspension set up? Apparently my rear bushes need replacing (£1000 quote from the dealer) and I could "do with replacing" my rear shocks (£220 each plus labour quote from the dealer) I think the rear shockers were...

I was wondering if anyone else had a rust hole like this one, in the corner of their boot floor on a W202. It is in the corner under the rear light, beneath the battery tray. It isn't caused by spilled acid as there has never been any, and the battery tray is pristine. I made the hole...

Hi Guys, I'm a C36 owner and new to this forum, I have been having a good read and then is some great stuff on here. I've decided to give the old girl a little TLC in particular with regards to suspension and brakes. I need my rear suspension bushers replaced. Has anyone got any...

When My Car is Idling it has started to give out a loud squeal:confused: that sounds like a mass of Crickets, it disappears as soon as Revs exceed 1,000RPM it sounds like it's coming from A/C Compressor, Aux Belt was changed last Year, Car has done 130K

Sorry to start a fresh thread to mention this again but i just wanted to put it out there since iv recently advertised the car for sale and was suprised by the interest i gained. So i thought id check here first to see if anyone might be interested in the car/wheels/parts who will genuinely...

Had a few problems with my car recently. loss of power, engine cutting out and strange revvs. These problems have all been solved with a new bosch MAF and a new lambda sensor. However now there is a very small shake/fluctuation on idle. I was hoping this might be due to the car getting used to...

Hi guys, Have a favour to ask... Would anybody mind checking this part number for me? A0044209120 Basically, I just bought new Rear Pads for my 1998 W202 C250 TD, and they don't fit. They seem to be too long, as in they fit in the calliper grooves but hit the rotor when the pin is...

Evening one & all! Over the weekend I lost my n/s front indicator unit whilst motoring along quite happily. Didn't really guage the "knock/thump" as I just thought I had run over something, wasn't until I got to my destination that I noticed the missing corner!! Have discovered that...

I hope this will help someone do this job. This is how I changed the drag link and steering idler arm bush on my 1999 C200. The Mercedes part numbers I used were: - Steering drag link – A202 460 04 05 Steering Arm Idler repair kit – A202 460 03 19 Tools used Axle stands Trolley...

Hi guys, How are you all? Sadly I am back with a new problem. Got in the car to go to work this morning and it started perfectly, first turn of the engine. Managed to reverse about 2m out the space and it suddenly cut out and refused to start again. The engine is cranking but there is...

Just noticed something about my w202 c200. The wire to the air mass meter was disconnected when I reconnected it the car barely ran at all no warning lights on the dash tho disconnected it runs fine again with no warning lights but is heavy on fuel. I assume theres a problem with the meter but...

Evening one and all! The photo shows the N/side rear door, more importantly, the arrows are pointing to the seal that sits on the underside of the door - It is not the door (interior) seal. As you can probably tell, its not in good condition & needs replacing as does the O/side. Can anyone...

Morning All, Wasn't exactly sure what to call these things.... Anyway, they are the V Shaped rubber seals at the bottom of each door. I need to replace them & cannot for the life of me think or find what they are called. I can't use MB to have the corrosion looked at under thier warranty as...

My C250TD failed its MOT because of the wiper not parking properly. This happened just after the linkage itself seized and the AA man had vigorously exercised the wiper. Because of this I really need to replace the whole wiper mechanism. I've removed it now and it would actually be quite...
