- C180 Coupe (CL203) 2002
Hi
I'm looking at purchasing a 2002 C180 coupe - I believe this is a CL203?
It has around 70,000 miles on the clock and I've read about timing chain replacements are advised around this time - however most of the things I have read are in relation to the W203. Is the timing chain an issue with the CL203 also? Is the CL203 essentially a W203 with a different "top" on it?
Has anyone changed the timing chain on this model and have a ball park idea of cost - I know it will depend on area, garage independent etc. but just a rough idea would be good.
Is there anything else that is worth keeping an eye out on this model? If they are essentially a W203 then no need to list them out as there is loads of info on them - I just couldn't find anything specific to the CL203.
Thanks in advance!
