02 c230 kompressor engine bay update#
No issues since last update - still running strong. SOLD2002 Mercedes C230 2.3 Inline 4 Supercharged Engine Test Run VideoVIN: WDBRN47J72A345570166,237Kilometers/103,294 MilesPlease contact: wolfsbur. Update October 2016: Just turned 68K miles. So far, I have not had need to use the extended warranty. I discovered a small crack in one of the rear wheels which was replaced with one I purchased used online. I serviced front and rear brakes (purchased OEM parts online) - a relatively straightforward job. I performed routine maintenance and inspections since the CEL issues I had shortly after I purchased the car. Update April 2016: Overall I have been pleased with this car. Expensive (over $2K), but warranty covered all but $150. Still running strong although I did use the extended warranty last year. Overall a positive experience.Īn update: Car now has 72,000 miles on it. In the five years I drove it, the only major repairs were what I described previously. The rear end damage was extensive enough for the insurance company to declare it totaled. Under moderate to hard acceleration, the engine runs very rough and goes into limp mode, check engine light is on. Update 10/6/19: In the spring of this year the car was hit while parked in a lot.
Recently purchased an extended warranty - just in case. Since then, the car has run nicely - although I do get high speed vibration on certain stretches of highway (probably due the the low profile tires). A month later a coolant pipe began leaking at the rear of the cylinder head (I replaced this myself). 2nd and 3rd row overhead airbag, driver knee airbag, airbag occupancy sensor. The 1.8L engine had a cam sensor design flaw which leaked oil into the harness (cam sensor seals were replaced under a MB recall by previous owner, but not the oil saturated harness). Within a month the CEL came on and required a new engine harness and two O2 sensors to repair. I purchased this 2004 C230 Sedan Sport one year ago with about 56K miles on it.
