w203

Hi all, New to the forum as I've run in to a bit of a problem with the car and hope someone can help me out. ESP sensor warning came up on the display a couple of months back so I took it in to get it looked at. Apparently there is an issue with the airbag frame ring (see attached pic). So...

Right so... the pulley of the alternator in missus' car has started to have a bad attitude and decided to create problems. Red battery light on dash came on, wife pulled over. I open the hood, and the power steering fluid from the pump had leaked out. So I replaced the pump, thinking that maybe...

Hi Week ago in my car fuel pipe under bonnet has been broken and fuel lade out over all engine so I replaced this pipe in MB service and cleaned whole engine. A few days ago (little later after fuel problems) I've repaired turbo actuator in my MB because car wasn't riding as well - had low power...

Could someone please help me identify the correct springs to install. The problem is that the previous owner installed E class springs to cope with towing a caravan. so i don't have the correct colour code. After talking to my local steelers they said either three blue or two yellow spots...

Hi All, First of all I would like today hi :) Secondly HELP I have stored my 2002 C240 (2.6 Petrol) on my drive for some time and now have come to put her back in the road for daily use again. I started her before Christmas and roped up the battery, unfortunately over Christmas I...

Hi there, This is my first post here so be gentle :) I have recently purchased a CL203 (c class coupe 2007 220cdi) and it goes into limp mode occasionaly, more noticably when i go into reverse rather than drive from cold start (work car park). I have had codes read from a friend with a...

Just said goodbye to my 2003 C220 CDI Coupe. Lovely car but a real rot-box. The good news is I traded it in for a 2007 C180 Kompressor Petrol version. This car only has 20,000 miles on it, looks and drives like it's brand new and has a full MB service history. I think the stealership...

I have just bought a C 180 M203 reg 2003 estate which lost the tension in the serpentine belt. On inspection the belt tensioner dropped out of the engine and it appears that the bolt running down the center of the spring has sheared. The rest of the bolt is still on the engine and loose...

Hi Guys, so i had a issue with my engine when the tensioner died last week - See here To get to the bottom of a Whooshing noise when i am accelerating i decided to take all the inter-cooler and air pipes off, and re-seat them. I also decided to open the air filter box. Heres what i...

Hi, Can anyone tell me if it's possible to get a TowBar for a C220 CDI coupe as I can't seem to find one anywhere. A few "enter your license plate here to find your towbar" places have come back to say 'Sorry there is no towbar option for your car". Yet looking on Autotrader and a few...

Hi all, I am looking to be a first time C-Class owner, primarily looking for CDI C-Class W203 from £2-3k. I thought it would be great to join the community, get a few tips of what to look for and use my experience with the car I get to drive my contributions to the community. :cool: Any...

Good Evening folks, its been a while since I have been on here or posted. Now moderators if I've posted something thats been dealt with before, my apologies.... Apart from from an EPC power warning that pops a little too much, plus replacing all four injectors (and another one), so lets say...

Hi My nearside indicator has stopped working and a fault message has appeared saying its the light.(2006 Elegance). I assume I need to change the led. Looking on here there are lots of posts. I'm confused. Can I change the led without removing the mirror from the car? Can I access it using a...

Hi All, Long time Lurker here, but now posting to ask about some electrical issues I've been having. On Friday evening, my rear indicators went off (just them, flashing as though the alarm was triggered), and I was unable to turn them off with my key fob, I had to open the driver's door...

I'll stand to be corrected but I think this is referred to as the 9 Pin. I'm looking for a replacement for the N/S (L-H). I've had the cover off and the glass out and it looks like what has happened is that at some stage the mirror has been forced and the 'gear' has not only disengaged from...

and hence, new to the Forum. After 'tolerating' a 1.6 Focus Estate for a number of years, it began to let me down. Therefore, a search for a replacement became necessary. My 'shopping list' required, Estate, Automatic, and able to fit it into my garage at night.:) It's not that I can't...

Hi, I have a 2007 W203 which has unfortunately been damaged on the passenger side. There is damage to the left wing, left headlight, left wheel arch and bumper. I will need to get these replaced however I am now sure where to get the parts from. Does anyone have any recommendations...

Hi, I currently have a 2007 C180 W203 (Passed Down by the old man) :o. I was thinking of changing the sound system, starting with the head unit, the current one is an Audio 20 without Bluetooth, aux or ipod etc. Is the Pioneer Avic F70Dab ( link below )...

I need some help here. My 2006 C200k with 47k miles is not performing well most of the time. The car hesitates and jerks alot when accelerating from a stop but after reaching the 3rd gear it drives normal the symptoms are more noticeable when going up a hill. I checked the computer for codes and...
