Hi, Im new to the board. Just bought my first Benz a few hrs ago. Its a black 07 C230 Sport.

I have a few mods planned over time....
-Tint
-Rims
-black tails
-Cf lip(maybe) I read something about needing an AMG front.. How do I know? I know my exhaust tips say AMG but the car isn't.
-flat hood emblem
-grill
Anything else I should think about? Im new to the MB world, so I'm not sure if there are any common mods out there I don't know about.

Few Questions...
-How do I know if my car has bluetooth?
-is there an online manual I can download?
-My passenger side visor light doesn't work, is there a switch for it? or is it most likely a blown bulb?
-I'm sure this is all over the place.... but...How can I get better milage? Exhaust? K&N?

Anyways... Im still trying to read up and learn as much as possible, but any info would be great as well as any links to good sites or forums would also be great.

Thanks,
Basikstylz

Damn.... I thought it said C230s.... Shows how new to MBs I am... Don't even reall know what style I am.. W204....W203... I have no clue... HAHA

How is he in the wrong forums? he drives a W203

And on the visor it may not be broken same thing happened to mine look at the visor and look at the top left were it connects to your head liner N check the metal prongs and see if they line up, When you open the visor. If this is not the issue then the bulb is burned out.

Better Gas mileage? Drive slower lol your in a benz no need to drive fast..

I had originally posted this in the W204 forum.... It says C230 in the description... just sayin... haha I was confused.

Thanks for the tip on the visor light. I will check that out today.

As for the Mileage... I'm not all that worried about it. It seems to get decent milage. It just never hurts to know how to increase it and save a few bux.

Your car is an 2007 so im sure everything is new. So you may not even need to add this. Just a thought!

You Can do this :
Go to Chevron.
Make sure you go with almost an empty tank!
Go inside and buy a bottle of Techron Concentrate Plus its a Black bottle for a 12 gallon tank.
Then Add it to your car
Fill up with Chevron With Techron 91 premium with 12 gallons of gas.
And thats it.


Here is a link on Info about it.

I found this really good for my car. And im sure others will say the same.

Here is a picture of my MPG Freeway i drive a 2002 C320 Sedan

No problem i got really pissed off at one of my girlfriends that i thought broke it because she was looking at her self 24/7. But when i was looking at it they were just not aligned correctly so i told her she didn't have to pay for it.. LOL

This is my first benz as well =D Enjoy your baby

Welcome - good bunch of very helpful people on this forum - read, read & read more on the forum. You will find most things have been covered & if not just ask. Some are hidden in unrelated threads & good as the search engine is it sometimes fails to uncover what you are looking for

I'm going to have to try that...2005 C240 4MATIC...with 56K miles. I wonder if I'll see any difference.

Chris,
I worked for that organisation for 37 years. Techron really works if your fuel system/ inlet system has got a little gummed up. Usually shows itself as a slighly rough idle because injectors are not atomising the fuel properly. Techron will fix this & keep the inlet system - valve tulips etc. spotless
