Armed with the advise from auhanson that bushings could be worked instead of being replaced I took a trip to Trinity in Apapa the home of benz parts and I got mine replaced.
The worn bushings.

@ Cne010.... The first and second pics are for 2004 Mercedes C230 Kompressor interior and exterior while the 3rd is for the 2005 C230 Kompressor. If you notice the interior pics,the steering and sound system of the 2004 are different from the 2005 but they both have the same exterior. The 2004 sound system is BOSE while the 2005 comes with Harman Kardon which was the first year it was introduced on the W203 C Class. Even the instrument cluster are not same. A lot changed from 2005 but just that it has the same Exterior.

The W203 C230 Sport in naturally aspirated and has that same interior.

cne010:


Only the sport models have a different steering from 2001 to 2007 have same steering just a different cluster, UCP, AC control and stereo unit.

Eyop:


SPORTS: 2001 to 2004 have same Steering and same instrument cluster,AC control,stereo unit(BOSE). 2005 to 2007 have different steering,different instrument cluster,Harman Kardon sound system,AC control unit. I have studied the W203 very well so what am writing are facts. Google again bro.

Eyop:

I disagree with you. The only W203 C230 that is naturally aspirated is the 2006 C230 V6 that comes with the 2.5L Engine others are 1.8L supercharged engines. I have dug deep so i know what am saying. I have also differentiated the interior. Please Google them to confirm what am saying.

Cheers

cne010:


Yes I know that as well I was trying to tell you that all sport interior are not always turbo charged you need to see the badge to know if it is a Konpressor or not.

Hi experts in the house!

I'm considering a Mercedes Benz A-Class 2003. Is this a good car for Lagos roads? Im considering fuel consumption, availability of the parts and cost of the parts as well as general reliability. It also appears that unlike other German cars, the resale value is low, how true is this?

cne010:


I haven't seen very good reviews about the A class. Resale value on all German cars are low. I think it has a very tiny engine as well.

cne010:
@megatone after all you've replaced I think the only thing left is to service the nozzles and Check compressor air lines for leakages I hope you got the original plugs? Is the check engine light on?

Megatone:


Thanks 4 d prompt response.As regards 2 the plugs, i didn't buy dem myself. I gave d mechanic 7k for d plugs. D check engine sign is on..

Eyop:


You need to diagnose that vehicle to be sure of what's wrong. The replaced parts may not be original because some mechanics are known for this gimmicks. Scan the vehicle to know exactly what's wrong and you take it from there. You've just been doing trial and error which is not the best. Apart from the wasteful expenses,you expose your vehicle to more harm than good. Goodluck

cne010:
Gee what was the scan result.

Gee2728:
was driving to abuja last week, btwn 140 to 160kmph I suddenly heard a slight bang sound from my car then I stopped and check but noticed nothing so I continued driving till I got to my destination. on starting the car again I notice the CEL came on and since then the ride is a bit rough at start and at times it it just goes off at stop lights or hold ups. took it for a scan and more bad news, the connector under the steering wheel is not powering. so for now all I have done to ease things up is to change the plugs, clean the nozzles and change the fuel filters and am also suspecting a dead MAF cos when I rev the engine cnt feel that pull of air and the S/C clutch hardly spin. any one with the slightest idea. tnx
