#828 of 869 Re: door rust problem [trellsworth] by kufu Mar 24, 2009 (2:59 am)
Replying to: trellsworth (Mar 23, 2009 6:10 am) I had the same rusty spots on my C-230 1998 as you described. I went to the body shop where both spots was fixed. That was back in 2004. Even today nobody can say where the rusty spots were. Who ever told you to get a new door(s) is wrong, because it is cheeper to do a body work. The best way to deal with rust is early detection, which means you won't spend much to fix it. Every good body shop can do a good job on it. My suggestion is to start looking for body shops and compare the prices. Keep in mind that you can still make lot of miles on your car. Enjoy the ride.

#832 of 869 sports v.s. comfort by notme1 Apr 24, 2009 (6:53 pm)
the garage guy told me in sports drive it starts on 1st gear and on comfort 2nd gear. since driving in the city is slow, the first gear and sports drive may be a better option. any thoughts ? Replies to this message: nace818 (Oct 28, 2009 5:33 am)
#833 of 869 C240 Resetting Electrical System by joo8450 Apr 26, 2009 (4:55 pm)
The ignition switch will not turn after fixing squeaky noise on driver side seat. I should disconnecting battery cable prior to unplugging electrical wires. I think that it has open circuit in feedback system had to reset. Anybody had a similar experience on this matter?
#834 of 869 Driver's power seat by rnugent Apr 27, 2009 (8:45 am)
The driver's power seat stopped working, again, on my 2004 C240. This happened last fall and turned out that a fuse needed to be replaced. I suspect same is true now. I am wondering what might cause this to happen every 6 months or so? Anyone else having this issue? Advice?   Thanks, Raymond Replies to this message: txhungrybear (May 10, 2009 8:43 pm) rnugent (Jul 02, 2009 12:48 am) mbain (Aug 25, 2009 9:25 am)
#835 of 869 loss of power by mlongar May 10, 2009 (8:16 am)
Have 1997 C230 which loses power for a few seconds at all speeds on an intermittent basis. Power returns by itself. Not a transmission problem, but seems like loss of fuel to engine? Replies to this message: kufu (May 27, 2009 2:41 am)

Replying to: rnugent (Apr 27, 2009 8:45 am) Hey Raymond,   I too have a 04 C240 and have had the same problem with the drivers seat fuse going out. I was told that the weight of the person in the seat was causing the seat motor to pull more current and that was causing the fuse to blow. I have an issue too, my A/C from time to time has a whinning noise that seems only to be noticable inslde of the car, to me its like a cat whinning noise. Ever experienced this with your C240?

Replying to: mlongar (May 10, 2009 8:16 am) Possible cause: 1. Fuel filter choked, 2. Fuel pump faulty, or delivery pressure low, 3. Timing chain incorrectly fitted, 4. Uneven or low cylinder compressions, 5. Worn, faulty or incorrectly gapped spark plugs, 6. Vacuum leak at the throttle body, inlet manifold, 7. Blocked injector/fuel injection system fault.
