Need Star diagnostic
Hi, Is there someone who has a Star on their laptop and diagnose my car? It's a 2000 C230 Kompressor. It's on limp mode. Can someone help me please?

C230
Just buy an OBD2 scanner off the internet. The Star is a lot more detail, but for 85% of the issues, you can scan the engine in your driveway in 5 minutes. I use it when needed, and if I have to go to a shop, it makes you look a lot more intelligent when talking to a mechanic, so less chance of getting "screwed". When you do get a code(s), you can search the code out on the internet, and normally find a quick affordable solution. A bit of mechanical know how helps as well.
