C200 K - Electrical Problems

[Jodami]

I have owned my C200 K for just over 4 years now. Since the car was 8 months old, I have had nothing but problems with the electrics.

I have had a new main computer, a new horn, new unit for the back lights, a new control unit for the electric window and wing mirrors drivers side.

The current problems I have got is heating takes about 45 minutes to warm up the car, electric window passenger side does not work and the emission level control which require 3 parts.

All I am told by the dealer I brought the car from, that out of every 100 cars that are made there is one which is faulty and it seems to be mine.

Does anybody know if there is anything I can do about this?

Other than suggest that MB and the dealer might like to make it worth your while to change it - perhaps with an exceptional trade in deal, (using whatever threats you can come up with, newspapers, tv, sit in at the dealership etc) I can't see what you can do after 4 years. Thats the approach I would be taking. I certainly wouldn't be looking to pummp any of my own money into such a dodgy car and I don't believe most 200k's are as bad as yours appears to be.
