Hello everyone, Im new to this forum and also a new Mercedes Owner!
Ive been members of various other owners groups but 4 days ago I bought a C Class and im pretty damn impressed with it to be honest!
Its a black ( i belive c180 ) and even with 90k its solid, quiet and ( a little bit too?) punchy lol
There are a few.. I wont call them faults, but maybe charector, that i'd like to sort out - or at least know a little more about them.
Ignoring the dash bulbs that need changed - thats a nightmare im saving for a dry day!
Theres a "hissing" noise from around the headlight switch area, its only present on tickover and overrun, it dissapears on acceleration, so im guessing its vaccuum related?! its not intrusive - its only when you accelerate you realise its their to be honest. Any ideas?
I need to remove the switch to change the illumination bulb anyway ( any tips on how best to do this? ) and ill have a peep around behind it to see where it could be coming from.
Other than that, Im really impressed with how solid the car is, and if it is a 1.8, im shocked at how well it actualy goes! Ive had a couple of "performance" saloons in the past, and I really wasnt expecting the performance this car delivers from a 1.8 engine.
Thanks for taking time to read this, if anyone could offer up any advice it would be greatly appreciated!
Thanks!
John.
