2007 C230 M272, is it a W203 or W204?
Hi everyone,
This must be a stupid question but I'm honestly confused.
Every time I look for DIY, most w203 cars look different than the one I have, and many w204 are quite similar.
So for example, I need to disassemble the front air inlet module, to be able to access the power steering reservoir but w203 diy and w204 were both different than what I have.
Does anyone have a decent guide on how to remove the power steering reservoir please? I have to make some room to work on the camshaft magnet behind but I can't access the bolts on the reservoir unless I remove the air inlets.
Thanks

A 2007 C230 in the USA would be a W203, but with a 2.5L M272. The 2008+ in the USA are the W204 but the 2.5L M272 was dropped, they used the 3.0 and the 3.5.

I'm trying to remove the air inlet piece on the driver side but it seems more complicated than I thought. Is there a guide that I could use? I've seen other w203 DIY's but they were different.
The red mark is to show that apparently there is an extension that goes along the radiator and there might be an attachment down there that I can't see or reach.
