So I am sure some of you have seen the youtube videos I found for our W202's so I figured I would post them all here. Not everything on these videos is 100% correct as they are working on a C280 or something but they are close enough that I have been able to do it all with a couple extra steps (extra bolt here or there type of thing).

the stealership......

P.S. how do I make the thread sticky

jumph4x

You don't. Someone important and reputable does. Like ScottW911 or whoever. Bother moderators.

503C43 ////AMG

I PM'd a moderator.... We should ALL bug them until they make it sticky..... this thread is EXTREMELY helpful IMO.

FINALLY!!!!! I an across a thread that detailed how to get at the gear selector display and such, between this and the WIS I was able to do it. I am posting pics in the "shift knob and selector light thread"

but I don't know how an e-cell conversion, even if it is AMG, will fit our C43's and C36's

This guy is a bot or something.... This is not the first time he has posted something that had nothing to do with the thread or even made sense.

DRBC43AMG

Probably didn't know where to post and chose the one and only and BEST section..... ours

Found this "How To" for bumpers in the C202 forum here and decided to place it in this sticky thread:

Managed to save this thread (first page only) from the "dead" C202 club site. The first part is the explanation, the rest are comments on "How to install folding mirrors with repeater lens

NICE SAVE and GREAT ADDITION to the how to section. I will do this MOD eventually but it is at the bottom of my list.

DRBC43AMG

I stole this one from another forum and think it is a good addition to the existing DIY and How Does. This one is for spark plugs and looks relatively simple albeit time consuming

Hijacked also these tips :

There is an excellent one in there regarding 'How To' read codes...
