Service Bulletins?
Any advice on how to find out about service or technical bulletins that have been issued by MB?
My wife wants to keep her 2001 C320 that is about to come off lease and I would like the dealer to do service updates before we pay it off, especially since we are about due for a "B" service anyways.
I seem to remember early on about a fuel purge valve replacement to clear up the engine "ticking" noise, but other than that, any advice would be appreciated. Any other updates that you might rec. would be appreciated, but we've had 3 trouble free years with the car, so she wants to keep it.
Thanks in advance.

I have the same year/model and have been checking the forum regularly for problems. These have occurred on my car and others that I know of:
- Key fobs intermittent inop...replace keys
- All windows/sun roof open or close inop from different sides of the car...replace receiving units
- Front turn signals erratic or inop...wiring change bulletin
- Purge valve noisy...change mounting bracket
- Tail light out warning but light OK....intermittent, replace whole light recepticle
- Car drifts to side....camber bolts changed
- Lower shift boot facia pulls out, add felt ring
- Top windsheild washer fill tube bracket broken (twice), replaced tube.
- Several courtesy lights (trunk, glove box) inop and required receiving units (not bulbs) replaced to fix
Check back in the forum for a more complete list. Nothing major, all annoing, all fixed.

Thanks for the post.
We had one key go bad and need to be replaced early on, and just had the tail light issue a couple months back. Other than that the car has been trouble free and that's why we plan to keep it.
It is the purge valve issue that I want them to address on the next service visit.
Your right though, the few things are just little annoying things that can be fixed in a couple hours at the dealer and isn't major mechanical problems that leave you stranded.
