2004 C230 Alarm Problems by jcrandall92116

My wife's C230 is experiencing problems with the alarm going off periodically for no apparent reason. Sometimes the lights just flash and at times it will sound the alarm. Can anyone give me a clue as to why this happens?

I have the similiar issues as SailrPete. My 98 C280 has the cehck engine light on. Dealer fixed wiring, oxegeon sensor, engine rcomputer and valve connect to air pump. All of these fxies are not working. It is still on after about 30 miles of driving (after code cleared). I like to try your advice but don;t know how to clear check engine light. Please let me know how to do it. Should I put a new gas cap. It's still the original one since 1998?

To clear check engine light you need diagnostic tool OBD II auto scanner. You can buy it at AutoZone or over Internet. I use "Actron" model CP9175 for my '98 C230.
Next thing to do is put new gas cap. It MUST be OEM and only dealer sell it.
Third, clean up entire fuel system with cleaner recommended from the store.
Next time when the engine check light is on for any reason, go to the any benz forum and try to get right answer for the problem. Check engine light does not afect performance of the car. Last thing is to see a dealer.

I have a 2005 C230, message came on for brake to be serviced or changed. Should I use my expensive dealer or can I go to a certified foreign shop. Car is still under warranty. Cutting back on expenses, so I am just wondering if this has any effect on warranty. It is a supercharged 4

2006 mercedes c230 p2188 & p2190 code by southwestern

Recently received a 2006 Mercedes c230 into our shop. We retrieved a p2188 & p2190 codes. The codes are listed as rich condition at idle at start up, bank 1 and bank 2. The customer says that when he first starts the car, the idle goes up and down a few times, then smooths out. Has anybody come across this and has fixed the problem?

C230 Mass Air Flow Sensor by tlangley

Two years ago I had problems with my Mass Air Flow Sensor and replaced it. It is going bad again. I had no major problems before this.Is there something that could be causing it to go bad so soon? I supposedly purchased a new one. It seems as though everything on my car has gone crazy. There is no air coming out of my floor vents, all air seems to be coming from the windshield vent. Airconditioner does not cool, windshield wiper does not work and the cooling fan is on constantly. If they were all related I would be so happy and could this be possible?

The spring mechanism that holds the rear trunk cover up when opened doesn't work and the trunk will slam shut if not held open. I have been trying to find the name of the part(s) responsible for this. Could it be a bad hinge?
