Just a noob question. The service interval was preset by MBM to be 12k. Do we need sent th car for engine oil checking on a 5 k interval? I am W204 C250 FL owner here. Thanks.

Thanks guys for the feedback. Another noob question. How do you function the paddle shifter? This is the first time driving conti . Old ride was an accord.

Ok. Thanks man! But the changing of gers is like purely listening to the sound of engine like the old manual ger shift or the onboard computers will tell u when to shift? I have not really tried this driving mode. Sorry for being a noob.

erhh.... u change by looking at your Rev meter/RPM.

wow 12k..
what does the warranty cover?

This is tough. I guessed I just google it.
I was told  MBM will void warranty unless this device is purchased from them. NZ wheel did a promo 6 months back with the 2011 C200.

Ha..ha.. I dislike see & see! Most of the sa's eyes are on top of their head.anyway, the w204 is no fun to drive under 1.5k rpm.  the car can hardly move but once you Tekan  above 2k rpm, the beast started to unleash its horses.

Anyone knows installing reverse camera for the new C-class will void the warranty or not? Besides, anyone knows where to install it? Thanks

I heard that w211 E200K with Kompressor engine, every 300,000 km need major service , is that correct ?

I heard kompressor engine has a belt mechanism to push more air into the engine, and the belt system needs major service/replacement every 300,00 km.
Wonder anyone know about this?

M271 REPO all using belt bro..no matter what class..the new 204,212,207,172 using M271 EVO according to designation..the 203 variant oldies time got M111,M271,M112,M272(last batch)..

Its recommended to change coz the this 271 repo only come with one belt..means,alternator, waterpump,supercharger,steering pump,idle pulley,ac compressor,crankpulley and tensioner sharing it..wear and tear is higher than normal engine belt like proton that have 3 belts for those pulley..

Somemore this repo engine popular with alternator pulley jem,tensioner and idle pulley noisy,vibration damper worn out,partial load hose crack due too old..more than 100k mileage come with risk where adjuster worn out..

Good to u bro..some ppl not service according to time and they drive the car harshly.. most car that registered under company name,driver..u know la..

I felt the slowness in driving the E 250. But 7gtronic is slow in kick down speed. Very slow respond. Therefore to master using paddle shift is an advantage but now I am still in the dark over this technology.

Not really dude. I am with c250 FL. The turbo lag is too much. Try kick down out o a corner and it behaves like a  untamed horses.

The car


The road tax


The C250CGi mostly avantgarde variant,besides engine boost this car come with sporty kit,ADS suspension,bigger rims,COMAND NAVI and etc..

I guess anything to do with recond is a gamble in my opinion.luck plays a big part in getting these cars.how much is the 2009 recond? Uk spec?

Which year? E204 is what model?

Sorry, yes i refering w204, c200k. How bout maintenance? Hope someone can share the cost with me. It is such a sexy car.

Hi Sifu, is it still available? I'm in the market for C180.

I've been browsing the web for them and it would be awesome if you guys could recommend me a few solid cars from your trusted dealer. Preferably 2-3 years old max.

Thanks
