mercedes benz c230 kompressor
Like David here I am also new to the Mercedes world. I brought a 05 c230 kompressor about a year and a half ago and the maintenance has been outrageous so I am going to try and take a different approach and try to do it myself. I have been searching forums for the past 3 days and still have a lot of questions. My first concern is my front brake pads need to be changed I type in the part number and get so many different styles. How do I know which one is the right one for my car? Does anyone have a link that can point me directly to the ones I need? Also do I have to buy a new sensor every time I change my brake pads?

Also my check engine light is on is the diagnostic tool a good tool to invest in? If so which one should I get? Also where can I find the cheapest repair manuals (that teach you step by step to fix something) and parts manuals?? Thanks

mercedes benz c230 kompressor
So my check engine light is on. I have a 2005 c230 Kompressor I was told that is a w203. Is that true? Also I am trying to find a OBD scanner so I can see whats wrong with my car before I drive a hour and 15 mins to the closest dealership. Does anyone have any websites for a good and a reasonable price one? Also where is the OBD port at in the car?
