At the risk of sounding more stupid . . .

. . . than usual, is there any other maintanence schedules for the C230K besides the "A" and "B" versions? I guess I started wondering when do we switch out spark plugs or change the timing belt, for example.

Any idea?

I think the plugs and timing chain (better than a belt) are at 100k according to my dealer.

Yes, in addition to A and B FSS service intervals, there are additonal service items as well. Your service book will explain them to you. Some of the items are:

Cooling Systems Service (every 3 years or 36,000 miles)

Brake Fluid Flush (Every 2 years)

etc...
