Hello, I have a c230 kompressor that started up rough a day ago and the third time it would not start. It makes a fast qlicking noise when i try to turn it over however nothing will start now? Is that my timeing chain? if so is this car a zero tollerance engine and could it be blown now? just got an oil change a week ago.... They did add too much oil, so I took some out and the front smark plug I had to clean off becuase it had oil on it. nothing still will run?

 

Check the battery voltage (12V+ ?). Clean the contacts, bang on the starter with a piece of pipe or metal. Then try.

 

u see the battery looks bran new, no corrotion at all and everything is tight. All lights and wondows ect work strong... Im getting spark, the engine is cranking a bit but just not fireing up???

 

might be the starter or alternator. you can remove them and have an auto store test them for free

 

Based on the description of the "rough start".. I'm suspect of the timing chain personally. Though the clicking could indicate a bad battery. How many miles are you at?

 

Ask a crappy question, get a crappy answer.

 

That's what mine did. Had rough cold starts for a few days. Then I went to go to work one day, and it made a loud clanking sound on start up. I stopped turning it over, and tried it again, when it only clicked.
I think there is some kind of safety system built in, that does that where there is too much resistance to start it.
I had the battery, and starter checked, and they were fine. That led me on my timing chain adventure.

How many miles on your car?
Has your car been making a rattling sound on start up, for a few seconds?

May still want to have the batt and starter checked. But I don't know what's worse, pulling the starter, or pulling the valve cover to check the timing chain............ Probably pulling and replacing the starter.... What a pain that was.

What do you mean it cranks "a bit"? Could be battery.

 

Check fuse 52 - it might have blown & needs to be elevated from 15 to 20 amps.
