#1571 of 1627 I think the techie should be able to help... by jrct9454 Oct 01, 2004 (1:59 pm)
...my list of C-Class TSBs is in the car, which is several floors away in the condo garage, but I'm pretty sure there are a number of possible "hits" for your problem. Sounds like software in the drivetrain computer, to me...
#1572 of 1627 Getting installed nav system and phone system by alfonso_h Nov 07, 2004 (9:40 pm)
I'm getting installed the COMAND system and the hands-free communication system. I was wondering if anyone has the items in their car and if they like it. They are quite pricey options, and want to make sure they are worth the money. Replies to this message: jrct9454 (Nov 08, 2004 6:59 am)

Replying to: alfonso_h (Nov 07, 2004 9:40 pm) I wouldn't go near the COMAND system, ever. It has been a reliability disaster for MB. They have modified it multiple times, and recently changed suppliers, in the hope of finally getting something that works consistently. Like all such problems, many owners have no difficulties and swear by it, but many others have mostly sworn at it. Beware.   The phone system has been less problematic, but my objections here are philosophical, rather than practical: I don't think any driver should be talking on the phone while the car is moving. A recent study has it that there is no significant difference between the distraction levels created by using a hands-free system versus holding the phone. That may be counter-intuitive, but I was almost run over yesterday crossing the street in front of our house by a woman whose mouth was busily moving [no one else in the car] while she tried to drive right over me in the crosswalk.   You asked....
#1575 of 1627 Re: How does the Mercedes C230 coupe handle in snow/sleet/ rain?? [peterfro by bj9000 Mar 16, 2005 (2:00 pm)
Replying to: peterfromme (May 12, 2004 5:22 pm) Had a 02 C230 Cpe. Wonderful car on wet or dry pavement. On snow - park it and get something else. Tires are too wide to be effective in any kind of slippery condition. I traded mine on a Lexus RX AWD. Replies to this message: ikramerica (Apr 17, 2005 1:36 pm)

Replying to: bj9000 (Mar 16, 2005 2:00 pm) Let me get this straight: you weren't willing to get a set of snow tires for your C-Coupe as recommended by the manufacturer, but you were willing to get a whole new SUV to solve the problem? Hopefully, there were other reasons besides "too wide tires."
#1577 of 1627 Discontinued? by jcat707 Apr 18, 2005 (2:11 am)
Why did they discontinue the C230 and C320 sports coupes? I had one for a loaner for about a week and I thought it was an awesome little car. I saw lots of them on the streets. They were a great way to get a Mercedes without paying alot of money. Replies to this message: merc1 (Apr 18, 2005 4:17 am)
#1578 of 1627 Re: Discontinued? [jcat707] by merc1 Apr 18, 2005 (4:17 am)
Replying to: jcat707 (Apr 18, 2005 2:11 am) Yep they're outta here.   Well the reason why is two-fold. Mercedes was going to import the B-Class as a replacement, but the current dollar/euro relationship made that too expensive and the C hatch never sold as well as Mercedes wanted it too. I'm not sure how many they wanted or intended to sell, but I guess it wasn't worthwile anymore. Funny thing is I saw them on the road all the time.   M
#1579 of 1627 C230K hard to start - what can be wrong? by kravchenko May 14, 2005 (4:57 pm)
My C230K with only 24,000 miles has developed a strange problem.... when cold (meaning "in the morning" no matter how warm it is outside), it just cranks without starting; the second attempt to start makes it run rough at first, then eventually it levels off. After this, drives okay till next morning. No fault has been detected by dealership... any idea what it can be? Many thanks!
