#818 of 869 Re: Service B Cost? [vinnyny] by trellsworth Jan 31, 2009 (11:58 am)
Replying to: vinnyny (Jan 31, 2009 7:35 am) Usually around $500.00 I reside currently in the Illinois area but previously lived in kansas city Mo. and both MB dealerships charged approx. $500.00 I stopped taking my 2000 C230K to an MB Dealership in 2005 and take it to a Bosch authorized independent repair shop. When I was in Kansas city, Mo 2005-2008 I went to star motors. Now,2009 I go to Edwardsville Auto Inc. near my current residence in Illinois. Much more reasonable and same person services my car so he knows what is going on with my car and I like dealing with the same mechanic. you can find a bosch independent mechanic at www.boschservice.com hope this helps.

My engine coolant light is on and my coolant is full and clean. The fan in the engine area began running high when that sensor came on. Does anyone know or have an idea as to what we should check to correct this fan from running high constantly. The fan runs high all the time the vehicle is on.
#820 of 869 2002 Mercedes c240 radiator fan does not stop rotating. by losal3 Feb 01, 2009 (10:17 am)
Coolant service indicator states to visit shop. The Radiator fan is rotating twice as fast and loud. Coolant level is normal and clean. I have also cleaned all the wire connections and fan will not stop. Does anyone know how to reset the coolant sensor indicator, so that the fan will turn on only when needed?   NOTE: The temperature on the car engine is normal at all times.

#822 of 869 2008 C300 replacement wiper blade by rpi67 Feb 17, 2009 (4:43 pm)
Anyone find a non dealer supplier for C300 wiper blades   The rain X laditute and Anco sb24 blades do not fit and the bosch site does not list any.

Replying to: losal3 (Feb 01, 2009 10:17 am) A friend has the same basic problem with the Coolant Indicator - visit shop indication. Not sure about the fan I Will have to check with him. Any info on what the fix would be?   Thanks   Phil
#824 of 869 2002 C230K radiator & heater hoses by fsmmcsi Mar 01, 2009 (5:25 pm)
Does anyone know if the radiator and heater hoses on the 2002 C230K are regular rubber, or the long-life silicone rubber? Our C230K was manufactured in April of 2002, so will soon be seven years old. I am trying to decide if the hoses need to be changed.   I know that I also need to clean and repack the front wheel bearings with fresh grease, so will probably need to go to the dealer to buy the grease seals.

Is this thread dead? Twenty days with no reply seems odd. Replies to this message: notme1 (Apr 24, 2009 11:46 am)

I'm here. but simply don't know the answer to your question.   If it were my car, I'd think that we're certainly getting close to the time when new hoses would be a good idea. Frankly, I don't think the materials matter much - it's how the car is used, and the miles [you don't say how many miles are on the car]. Heat is the enemy - if you live in a warm climate, or do a lot of hot weather driving, then replacing the hoses would be a good thing, period.
#827 of 869 door rust problem by trellsworth Mar 23, 2009 (6:10 am)
2000 C230K MB metallic silver exterior/blk leather interior. 4 door sedan. I have a rust problem starting. Driver's door rust starting at middle of door along the trim about six months ago. Passenger door on same side has a nickle size rust spot in middle of door just below trim, Upper area of rocker panel. I had one auto body person tell me best to get a new door rather than do body work on that spot and paint. He said he has seen these type cars with rust problems and I'd just be chasing rust breakouts. Do these cars have alot of problems with rust? What is the best way to deal with rust on MB? Is replacing door best way to go if planning on keeping the car. I've had this car since 2003 and love it!! Bought it with 85,000 mi on it in 2003. Extremely reliable engine wise. Very few repairs I've had to have done even though it has 136,000 miles on it, these repairs were suspension related due to wear of mileage. Best car I've owned. So I want to keep it as long as possible. thanks for any suggestions. Replies to this message: kufu (Mar 24, 2009 2:59 am) trellsworth (Mar 24, 2009 6:14 am)
