Wow. Read every single post from page 1-11. Greetings Mr Hanson, Trac and al... You guys are wonderful.

Just bought a used c180 esprit manual drive on boxing day, I previously used a honda baby boy manual drive (a fan of manual trans)

I want to experience the Benz feel too. Serviced already, but with visco 2000 50w! Feel bad already, the seller kept hammering I use visco 2000. Also, the blower/fan is not working on the dashboard. I had a rewire inspect it and he said the fan is bad.

I've learnt a lot from going tru all 11 pages, however, I'm a newbie and can just go about tampering with parts yet. I still need to use the mechos but supervise them based on info I get here.

Also, its been difficult getting the car into my compound. There's dry redsand in front of our gate and the back tires keep screeching and blowing dust when I try to drive in, and the tyres keep digging on the spot.

The Babyboy easily drove in over the sand without any issue. Is the Benz underpowered or what? Or is it because it's a "back axle?" Please I really need help on this!!! People had to push the car before I could climb and drive in for two days now.

I know its been a while since the main actors commented here, but PLEASE I NEED INPUTS from guys here.

Please!!!

Thank you.

Hello guys i install a new thermostat today with 87 degrees reading(original whaler, couldn't find Behr), also steam washed my engine and radiator and got myself some coolant , now i no more experience the overheating nor any further rise in temp above 87 degrees even while idle in the mid day sun, hold ups etc. contrary to my previous experiences.

I was marveled at my machine performance today during testing to confirm all these stuffs..it was just fun all through, as the engine roars along like a lion dusting all the jap guys.. It was a great deal of trouble fixing all these. I'm happy that all my trouble is not in vain.. This machine worth all that trouble you know, who says C180 isn't impressive in performance when all factors are in order.

Good evening sirs. I read this thread in Nov 2018 and was convinced to buy a c180 in Dec. I've drove the car for 12 months now and I keep praying for those whose comments convinced me to buy this machine. God bless.

However, when I bought it the AC wasn't working. The rpm was always idling around 600rpm without any issues. I spent some money and fixed the AC with the Peugeot compressor etc. After fixing the AC, the car was switching off while in motion or in traffic, I had to keep pressing clutch to keep the engine alive. A mechanic just increased the "slow running" to about 1100rpm when I start but when I switch on d AC, it drops to about 800-900rpm.

Please is this okay? Can I keep driving like that? Won't this affect my engine?

Thank you.

WHAT'S THE POWER RATING OF THE COMPRESSOR COMPARED TO THE CAR'S ORIGINAL COMPRESSOR. MEANWHILE IT'S NEAR IMPOSSIBLE TO MANUALLY ADJUST THE IDLING RPM......IT WILL ALWAYS RETURN TO DEFAULT MODE

With the W202 it is possible. You just turn a threaded screw.
