Dear All,

I was at my mechanic and I was getting somethings fixed and my bix installed (looks sweet btw) on my 2002 C180. He mentioned that he can install a kompressor from a c200K in my 2.0L C180. Price isn't that bad.

Is there something I should take care of. Is it recommended. What type of power am I looking at? Is the kompressor for all MB the same?

Your feedback in greatly appreciated!

 

what type of power you are looking at, shouldn't your mechanic answer those questions for you??

besides, i thought c200k and c 180k is the same??
i couldn't be wrong

 

C180 is a Euro edition 2.0L non-kompressor engine sold between 2001 and 2002, as sedan and sportcoupe.

I am almost sure that the ECU will have several problems with the mod from non-kompressor to kompressor. You might as well find a totalled rear ended c200k and make the transplant. It will be safer...

 

Check below the link... It's more easy and clean C- 180 and C-200 are not same the diffrences their HP... C-180: 143hp, C-200: 163hp.

i dk personally i would be a lil worried bout the reliability but thats just me g luck

 

See a whole engine transplant would cost about 4-5K USD but just a compressor would cost me about 400-500 USD So there is significant difference. It's not the first time he's done it. But I'm just wondering if someone else has.

and would I get the same power as the C230 Coupe with the 1.8L engine.

 

there is also an c180 kompressor right??

 

Yes there is.

 

Go for it.

 

I believe his car is a C180 WITHOUT a KOM.. so your KLEEMANN link doesnt really apply to his case til he 's got his Kom installed.
