#20 of 92 Accident Value Vehicles by merthedesbenz Sep 27, 2007 (1:09 am)
Mercedes Benz C230: On the driver side front corner has been hit and pushed in breaking the headlight damaging the bumper guard pushing the front quarter panel off and bending down the hood unnoticable to the human eye unless you tried to fit a new headlight assembly in there. The damage is extensive enough to be quoted at $4000. I have looked at family and friends in helping out but only so much can be done and parts are not cheap. This is the problem, if I am to fix the accident, the value to fix is about the value of the car. In stating that I am burning $4000 on a car that essentially could last me another two years or take that and put a lump sum down on another car. How am I to gain the most value out of this vehicle without extensively putting alot into it? Replies to this message: paulxk1 (Oct 05, 2009 2:29 pm)

Replying to: lakepop (Nov 04, 2006 3:39 pm) PO170 trouble code is directly related to AIR MASS FLOW SENSOR /not enough air in engine/. If you change it by yourself, which is easy, you will save $ 250 for installation. Price of new AIR MASS FLOW SENSOR is $400. Good luck. Replies to this message: lakepop (Dec 12, 2007 5:35 am)
#22 of 92 Running thru HUGE puddle by tennisprofl Oct 05, 2007 (4:00 am)
I recently drove thru a HUGE puddle & my car made it thru but stalled after I got thru the water. No water came into my car but it won't start now. All of the lights inside & out come on but it won't turn over. Its a 2003 C240 with low miles on it. Replies to this message: merthedesbenz (Oct 08, 2007 12:52 pm) tennisprofl (Oct 10, 2007 12:57 pm)

Replying to: tennisprofl (Oct 05, 2007 4:00 am) Did you check the fuse box? Replies to this message: tennisprofl (Oct 10, 2007 12:57 pm)

Replying to: merthedesbenz (Oct 08, 2007 12:52 pm) Haven't checked that yet. Put a new battery in & that didn't work. Hoping that it is something simple.
#25 of 92 C230 ABS light by lakepop Dec 08, 2007 (5:41 pm)
Have a ABS light on a 98 C230. I'm guessing that it is probably a sensor but I am eliminating the easy stuff first.         Battery.....good       Brake fluid....full       fuse.....................CANNOT FIND ??????   Thats what I need for now....where is the fuse located? I've already looked under the hood in the fuse box....not there.   Also need to know how many sensors.....1 per wheel or only the front ?   How about on the differential ???   I'll pull the wheels and get to the sensors soon. Plan on checking the connections and cleaning them up ......hopefully thats the problem.   OK....any advice/inputs ?????

Replying to: kufu (Oct 01, 2007 4:08 pm) Code cleared..........DIY replaced Mass Air Sensor. A very simple <15 min job. Obviously saved a bunch of $$$$$ over the Mega Buck dealer.

#28 of 92 C-230 Kompressor: 3 mechanics can't tell what's wrong by plachapelle May 05, 2008 (9:27 am)
I have 2000 C230K.(116,000 miles) I will try to describe my problem as best I can. When in D, it sounds like I am driving a 5 speed and changed to 5th gear when I should have changed to 3rd gear. The RPM's are very low (at slower speeds) there is a deep rumbling, and the only way to eliminate it is to a) step on it a little, or b) drop to the lower gear (which doesn't always help much if I am driving 15-40 mph). Nobody seems to have seen this before, one mechanic said he could charge me $2000 but he didn't know if he could fix it?!? Any ideas? Thanks. Replies to this message: paulxk1 (Sep 24, 2009 4:41 pm)

Replying to: nalaiq (May 02, 2008 1:54 pm) The air mass meter is located on the rear of the air cleaner cover on the right hand side of the engine compartment. Unplug the electrical wiring from the sensor by turning the union nut anti-clockwise until it is felt to disengage and then separating the two havles on the connector. Slaken the hose clip at the engine side of the sensor, then pull off the inlet ducting. Release the spring clips at the air cleaner side of the sensor and remove the sensor. Recover the O-ring seal. You can get Mass Air Flow Sensor Cleaner on www. performanceproducts.com Product Number #883593 Price is 9.95 plus S&H
