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...

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...

I changed my engine oil today and got a unwelcome surprise that I'd not seen before in 8 years of ownership of my W202 series C200. I'd drained the sump, then when I unscrewed the oil filter cap, oil came out over the top and ran down the engine. That chamber is normally near enough empty when I...

My car is a 1999 W202 C200 and I'm confused as to whether my radiator cooling fan module is working properly or not. Last week on a warm sunny day, stuck in town traffic I got the feeling that my temp gauge needle had crept a little higher than normal with no effort from my cooling fan. Back...

Hi. My car is a 2 litre 1999 C200 auto and I wondered if anyone knew the thread size of the stud and nut that is supposed to hold the exhaust manifold to a bracket mounted on the transmission. Mine is missing. I had the car up on wheel ramps last weekend and was underneath intending to...

It's been a while since I've been here. February to be exact. Partly due to computer probs shortly after my last posting. Anyway, I've had a search for answers to my problem and couldn't find any, so can anyone tell me how to safely and non destructively remove the side rubbing strips on my '99...

W202 C200 bizzare electric window glitch after battery swap I've just changed the incredibly durable 10 year old MB branded Varta battery on my car earlier today, swapped it for a Yuasa one of similar design and capacity. I did everything right....disconnected the negative terminal first...

My W202 C200 (1999 reg.) has just been the subject of a costly auto transmisson part-rebuild after it went to a specialist for a simple fluid change - I intend to post the reasons why when I've more time, as a warning to others about what might happen or to see if I've been 'done'! My question...
