2002 w203 C200 restore log

Postby sweeks » December 23rd, 2015, 5:17 am

Inherited a 2002 C200 kompressor.

Never liked the car before, preferred the e90. However as I'm using it, it's growing on me.

Got a couple of issues to sort out so I'm tinkering as I go along.

Anybody else owns one of these classics?

It's is a C200 Kompressor (161bhp) ... and I'm somewhat impressed at the technology used in a 13 year old car.

Performance is comparable with my 2011 E90 (16bhp). E90 handles better tho. C200 is more comfortable.

Issues are :
1. Check coolant and wiper fluid indicators are on
2. Brake Master cylinder is acting up. Brake aren't effective on start up. Once the car is warm up, it works well.
3. Misfiring on start up. Switch off then on again and it runs like a thief. Looks like an electrical issue.

Sounds like you should run a diagnostic check on it.

With my E39, I had a similar issue #3 which turned out to be MAF Sensor.
