#30 of 92 extended warranty recommendations by slj333 Jun 01, 2008 (11:47 pm)
I own a 2005 c230 sedan. The car is great but as the warranty gets closer to expiring, I would like some recommendations on a good and reasonable extended warranty option. Thanks, Steve Replies to this message: hdoolabh (Jun 02, 2008 8:38 am)

Replying to: slj333 (Jun 01, 2008 11:47 pm) I woned a c240 2004 model and recently decided to change it for a c230 sport and the only reason i did this was due to the warrenty expiring.   I went to my local dealer (little rock AR) and traded my 240 for the 230. the 230 only had 10K miles on it and was used as a loaner car for others having work done to their cars. I got full warrenty on the 230 and am very happy with it. One of the keys had a crack on it and the dealer replaced it without any hesitation.   I would consider doing a trade out for a 07 model the dealer may have in order to keep your vehicle in warrenty.
#32 of 92 1998 C230 Electrical by jtyler84 Jul 30, 2008 (7:35 am)
My wifes 1998 C230 turn signal, power windows, and door locks stopped functioning the other day. I checked the fuse box under the hood and in the trunk and didn't find any blown or loose fuses. I disconnected the battery and reconnected it which seemed to fix everything, but after a day, the passenger side windows operate intermittently and the switch signals are crossed (IE I push the front passenger side window switch down and the rear goes down, or the front goes down but wont come back up unless I press the rear passenger window up or down). Any ideas? Replies to this message: Mr_Shiftright (Jul 30, 2008 9:36 am) mattmonaco (Dec 26, 2008 5:21 am)

Replying to: jtyler84 (Jul 30, 2008 7:35 am) Could be a quirky relay but one would need a wiring/relay diagram to see if one relay box controls all these items. If it does, that would be a likely suspect; otherwise, such bizarre behavior suggests a fault in the wiring harness or perhaps at the fuse box wiring. These things can be tough to track down. But try to sniff out the relay issue and also make SURE your battery connections are clean and that your battery/alternator is operating at proper voltages. Any drop in voltages will cause your electric systems to go bananas.
#34 of 92 location & changing the transmission fluid by diplomats Aug 03, 2008 (9:07 am)
Hello everyone, I have a 05 C-230 Kompressor and i would like to know where's the location of the transmission fluid tray and the stick to check the fluids. I recently change my oil and oil filter but i'm having trouble finding the transmission fluid tray and stick. If you guys have the knowledge and pics of the locations it will help me out a lot.   Thanks Replies to this message: JoeDonald (Dec 15, 2008 2:53 pm)

Replying to: diplomats (Aug 03, 2008 9:07 am) I have heard from all MB mechanics that an owner SHOULD NOT change their own transmission oil. It is hygroscopic and water will be absorbed... just like brake fluid Changing oil is one thing but transmission and brake fluid are dangerous to change!   In fact real mechanical technicians use a suction device to remove all the transmission oil before changing. They are that careful to avoid entry of moisture.   You shouldn't even consider adding even a little bit of brake fluid from a can that has been opened! I learned that on the first Porsche I owned back in 1965
#36 of 92 "Taillight Lamp left" message won't go away by mhsfrance Dec 16, 2008 (5:21 pm)
I have a 2005 Mercedes C230 Kompressor that has been perfect for the 4 years I had it. However, today the message came up "Taillight Lamp Left". So I proceeded to replace the bulb which had burned out. I took it to the dealer and he put the new bulb back in the board and I drove off. As i was leaving the message still appeared; "Taillight Lamp Left" along with "Taillight Left Lamp: Backup light on".   We tried replacing the board that holds the bulbs and that wasn't it? The message still appears. Any thoughts?

#38 of 92 mass air flow sensor by mattmonaco Dec 26, 2008 (5:42 am)
c230 kompressor failed inspection, seems the air flow sensor might be a problem. check engine light keeps coming on after the computer is cleared it works for a while then comes back on. I replace it from a shop on amazon $100 bucks the machanic is scratching his head... have no idea what to do. help
#39 of 92 Changed Batt now SRS code shows by art30 Jan 04, 2009 (9:57 pm)
2003, C230C coupe. 61,000miles. Battery error every morning for the last 2 weeks. I got new batt. Used a power mantiner that you plug into the lighter so I would not loose voltage while I removed the old batt and installed new. Everything went great. Didn't loose any radio settings, seats or anything else. The only Malfunction is the message "SRS system error go to workshop". The red SRS light is also on. Car drives fine. How can I reset the error and see if it comes back. I have turned the car on and off 4-5 times but message still shows. I do not want to pay MB $120 minimum for them to push a reset button.   Let me know what you think.   Txs Art Replies to this message: Mr_Shiftright (Jan 05, 2009 9:46 am) sportdrvr (Nov 17, 2009 5:47 am)
