Rust :o fix
#51
Wow,... now you're asking how is it possible to wash the inside of your door. Amanonfire, in your post #39,.. you said and this is a direct quote: "I wash the inside of my doors all the time." Thank you,... you just proved you have no idea what you're doing,... and talking out your ***!
Amanonfire,... was that reply good enough for you? I believe we proved who's the unintelligent one is.
Amanonfire,... was that reply good enough for you? I believe we proved who's the unintelligent one is.
Anyone who thinks I was serious when I said "I wash the inside of my doors all the time " obviously doesn't understand sarcasm. Can anyone wash the inside of their doors? No, yet that's where the worst of the rust claims have been. The inside of the doors should be waxed with MB's magic bean wax, so I wonder why the doors rust from the inside out... (for SunnyRay, that's also sarcasm incase you're not smart enough to figure that out)
Its interesting though, in the same post I asked: "Did you lift up your door sills or impact strips yet? Did you check inside the rolled rear fender?" and still no response. For someone with so much MB know-how, he should beable to remove and replace the door sills or impact strips in about 30 secs, or remove the rear tire in about 5 mins.

Why are you reviving a 2 week old thread? Are you loosing sleep over it?
Amanonfire,.... here's a word of advice,... you really shouldn't suggest that I'm unintelligent,.... especially, given that I'm smart enough to turn the table on you, people are now wondering what's below unintelligent.
Here's a reminder for you folks,....
In post# 48 on August 24 Amanonfire trys to set me up with:
I thought the manual states the wax would protect the paint for the life of the car? How does the salt penetrate the magical wax? How does washing remove salt particles trapped inside the wax... inside the door?
How do I wash the inside of the door? Since a majority of the rust claims reported on this site involve replacing doors, please tell us, how do you wash the inside of the door? and why did the magical wax not work?
This reply should be good, and unintelligent.

Oh,... that's "sarcasm". And it takes you over two weeks to come up with that answer,... the little hamster in your brain must have been working overtime,.... and that's the best you could do,... maybe I should expect another reponse from you in about 2 years.

You try to discredit other posters by trying to get them to jump through your hoops,... and trying to imply they overpaid on features they never brought,... like $1000 for wax for scotch guard,....
Gee,... my car doesn't have any rust on it because I actually wash the road salt off of it during the winter. I can't believe someone who already needed 3 rust work done,... still insist on giving people advice on how to prevent rust on their cars.
Look, you failed to wash the road salt off your car and that's why it's rusting out! You can blame Mercedes-Benz,... you can blame your Mercedes-Benz Service Advisor,... you can blame your Krown chemical rust proofing,... you can blame your city for using road salt,... you can blame old man winter for making snow and ice,... you can blame your mother,... heck,you can even blame ME,.... but at the end of the day it's YOU who FAILED to wash the road salt off your car,... it's YOU who FAILED to take care of your car.
Amanonfire,... what is wrong with you? Why do you keep on coming back for

SunnyRay,
I disagree I bought a lemon, the car is mechanically great, except it's old (212k). The lady was a slob, and didn't consider rust as an issue. I got a good deal and all I'm trying to do is fix the rust and I'm trying to find the way to get it under warranty.

good luck at 212k and 2002 i cant imagine Mercedes even helping at all. i don't remember what the warranty is in Canada but i don't think it is that good. why would you buy a car that was owned by someone that let the car rust bad? that probably means that maintenance was not the first priority either. i am sorry to say this but if you can't afford to buy the car and fix it you should have found a cheaper Mercedes like a w202 or another brand car until you could afford stepping up to a Mercedes that was in better shape. i understand that it is cool to have a Mercedes even if it has 212k on it and has rust but when something breaks are you going to have the cash to fix it or will you be ridding the bus. i am not trying to put you down or anything i just don't like reading posts about someone car breaking and they don't have the cash to fix it.

Basically if you can't afford repairs, you shouldn't buy any 2001-2003 C-class.

Since he is in Canada, I assume he means KM.. Which would put the car at about 133k miles. Not as bad as it sounds. Plus, rust warranties typically don't have mileage limitations - just years. In the USA it's 4 years. Not sure about Canada.

Instead of trying to come up with another idiotic rant, it'll take you 5 mins to check these locations. Yet if I were you I'd be unwilling to as well, cause you know there's a good reason why I'm making you jump through this hoop.
Look, you failed to wash the road salt off your car and that's why it's rusting out! You can blame Mercedes-Benz,... you can blame your Mercedes-Benz Service Advisor,... you can blame your Krown chemical rust proofing,... you can blame your city for using road salt,... you can blame old man winter for making snow and ice,... you can blame your mother,... heck,you can even blame ME,.... but at the end of the day it's YOU who FAILED to wash the road salt off your car,... it's YOU who FAILED to take care of your car.
Then you can quote this:
I park in an underground lot, with a wash bay. My car was washed every week, I kept it spotless and waxed all year. It still rusted.
Why? The answer is wasted on you, so I'll just hope your doors and fenders are rusting out, and you'll never know cause you won't check.
I like entertainment from idiots that jump through my hoops.

The way to get a good 2002 is to find one that has been rust-proofed yearly. Or one like SunnyRay's where he washes the inside of every panel, including the doors, to get the salt out. BTW, that's sarcasm for those too dumb to realize it.

Wow,... I have my own internet troll,... my troll hides under a bridge for two weeks,... then pops up again! Here on August 24,... then hid under the bridge for 15 days until September 8,... then hides for 13 days,.... and now he's back again,...
Amanonfire,.... now go back under that bridge,.... see ya in two weeks.
Well,... Why don't I teach you how to find your own posts? Go to your above post (like post # 59) and right click on "amanonfire" user id on left side,... and select "Find More Posts by amanonfire"

Hmmm,... and reading your 3 posts from just a few days ago is quite interesting,.... let's see, basically the body of your car is shot because it's rusting out,... how's the mechanics?,... oh, and you already needed to replace your original engine with a used one,.... and you still insist on give us advice on car maintenance. Thanks, but I think it's better for everyone to just do the opposite of whatever you suggest.

lol you guys are funny!
SunnyRayToronto - face it dude, just because they write it in a book doesn't make it true/valid/reliable. Otherwise you really do believe in trolls.
Amanonfire - I guess rustproofing after the rust appears and is supposedly 'fixed' means either the proofing doesn't work or the 'fix' wasn't really a fix!
Will be checking the areas amanonfire has suggested on my car tomorrow as i've not seen any rust anywhere else. Thanks for the prompting!

Nowhere ...Fast
i dont believe there is such a thing as rust proofing...once you get rust, no matter what you do ( except for cutting pieces out) it will come back in the same spot...been with that dilemma with my car, fortunately the body shop just re-moving rust every year for free since they gave me lifetime warranty on their work...new paint hood every year? i dont mind that!

PKB?
Ah noobs, they need to learn how to post. You'll find your links don't work.
Just cause I logon doesn't mean I take the time to check all my posts. Consider that in your forthcoming reply, how low you are on my list that I only respond when bored to watch you dance like a monkey and jump through my hoops.
If you read my posts you'll find I have modded my car more than most here. You'll also note I have a Q1 2003 build, and put a lot of mileage on my car, so I've been on of the first to report many of the problems on this engine. You'll also find that the leaking cam actuators indirectly caused my engine failure.
yet you'll ignore all that and focus on trying to figure out how to clean the inside of your doors to protect the magic bean wax Mercedes sold you on.
Yet the leaking cam actuators aren't in your manual, nor will the TSB apply to your engine, so you won't know about that! Please confirm if you have/haven't installed the isolation wires.
That's your choice, and you're free to make poor choices, and still do.
Here's a hoop, jump monkey:

I refused to let the dealer reinstall these clips after refinishing this area, instead mine are held down with velcro now.

Instead of coming back after 2 weeks,... this time my internet troll, Amanonfire, strikes again after one week. I guess Fall really is here,... and my internet troll is in gathering mode getting ready for his winter hibernation.
Speaking of Fall,... isn't this the time of year Amanonfire should be reapplying his carcinogenic toxic chemical rustproofing? I guess that explains the green skin and purple hair! Maybe I'll have better luck posting this link,... of Amanonfire,... the internet troll man!
