bro do u love driving fast ?
the diff is enjin cc cannot be replaced. roadtax still acceptable

5 years car! Start of the fall of the parts cycle Liao! How much now for c200 ?

Love to, but seldom tekan
C180 with 9G shift newer year or C200 with 7G shift older but more power..

155k+ for 16', 165k+ for 17'

basically this and last year most of the car hardly driven.. perhaps can tahan longer?

is there other model that shared parts from c180 enjin. do consider that.
c200 (itself already popular) got plenty.

besides that. more gear is not we really want. need optimized ratio only. check both.
i learned that from f30 (8at) yet very disturbing even city drive & hiways

Perhaps ! if low mileage then ok lor!

c180 is 1.6 L engine. C200 is 2.0 engine! Torque and HP is diff!

Anyone can enlighten me on the most common problems / issue of this car? The car price seems to be strong.

Based on ur questions , may I ask add on question , is this your first conti experience?

1) u drive which model ? W205 pre- or facelift ? Adaptive suspension or Air Sus version?
2) Yeah , this is absolutely normal for Conti makes. Drive an Audi , BMW's all same based on my experience. They produce the nguuu sound. But it does ensure during your pressing brakes, stopping power is not compromised and inertia feeling is greatly reduced. Local / Jap / Hyundai makes all produce the usual screeching sound and inertia is badly felt in these makes.
3) Steering shaft. Normal. Becuz each time u go in and out of the car the whole steering column automatically have to adjust for you.


Cross checked some info too. Completely normal. Nice car required more time care and money to be taken care of, thats what you're buying for the experience.

No, not my first.

1) Facelifted, adaptive, and the issue was apparently not enough lubricant for the suspension, SA took care of it after complaining. So if any owners here kena same issue... just bring back to mercedes lahh but need to leave 1 day to check.

2) Hmm I actually brought this up with SA and they say its normal. Relatively speaking, VWs surprisingly softer, it is there but more subtle. Older Mercedes softer as well. (e.g. w204) not so loud. Local/Jap/Hyundai those, I only really had exp with Corolla, that car was silent but then again i think it had only 2 disc.

3) This one personally... quite unacceptable lah, not because its broken but I had to bring back to Mercedes like 3 times to finally get the entire rack fixed/replace and now it is working perfectly again. If they solved it with 1 visit then its a different story.

If really into Mercedes, at least C200... preferably the facelifted ones at least it comes with latest feature, android auto, digital cockpit and etc. Tbh C200 don't feel fast, just adequate. Only good thing bout it is just the interior.

Can refer to my previous post.. so far the only issue I faced is the steering column (fixed under warranty). Other than that its reliable.

speed sensors! ECU !

Hello, any owner of 1.5l C200 can tell which fuse box has ACC and Constant power? Still can't find it to wire my dashcam.

Anyone else received recall campaign notification for Diode in the alternator?

Yup, I received from NZ Wheels.
Called the service center and it will take at least 4 hours depending on how good the internet connection is.

Already settled mine. Around there, mine took 3.5 hrs

What is the cost to change the brake pads? Anyone knows recommended workshop specialised for merc besides cnc in shah alam?

Hi. May I know if it is needed to add in the 'oil additive' every time we service the car? The service advisor will always add in during service. I did ask him before and he said although it is optional but not adding it will affect the engine. Please advise.
