c32 mileage

How many miles do you guys have on your c32's, and at that mileage do you feel loss of power, and any problems at that mileage?

104K+ on mine.

Car feels as fast as a new one.
I had to change the supercharged at ~80K miles.

I just hit 46.6K on my 02. The new I/C pump makes it feel as quick as new. I am not looking forward to buying a new Supercharger at 80-100K though. Ouch. I better start saving up now.

62k miles daily driver. I should be driving the Beetle 1.8t everyday, but I just don't. extended warranty covers up to 100k miles and 7 years, so if it breaks some more before that I sure ain't paying for it.

I just crossed 94k miles.. FYI, my supercharger was also replaced at some point, but it was before I bought it..

I have fixed a few things since I bought it and it pulls stronger now.. I figure just about everything has been replaced so why sell it now.. lol..

7 years? is that an aftermarket one?

BTW here is an interesting fact for those with Starmark warranty...

I always thought that once you go over 4 years the Starmark will cover your car for an additional year OR when you go over 50Kmiles you will have an additional 50K miles from Starmark. I was suprised to find out that it work in a little bit different way. Basically once you cross the 50K mark or 4 years, you get either 1 year of coverage or additional 50K miles. Once i crossed the 50K mark I only had 1 year of additional warranty and my Starmark "expired" when I had 80K miles on the clock. IMO this is complete

I also was told numerous times that the whole engine and supercharger were covered by the Starmark warranty BUT when something called "supercharger air pump" (im not sure about the exact name) failed i had to pay ~ $2000 to have it replaced at Hoehn, because it's a "wear and tear" part and i guess i used it all . Another IMO

edit: just saw this thread
https://mbworld.org/forums/c32-amg-c55-amg-w203/146457-1fastc32-s-cheep-intercooler-pump-replacement.html

could've saved some money, but it was almost 1 year ago

2003 C32 with 63k roughly. I just stopped driving it daily, picked up a GTI to cruise back and forth to work. Intercooler replaced under warranty with stress cracks, leaking coolant.

How much is the supercharger to replace after warranty? I have another few years or 100k left, but I'm sure not driving it much it will last until after warranty. Just wondering the damage.

mine has done 38000miles, just got the IC pump replaced, so the supercharger often fails at 70k++ miles??

just wondering how far would the transmission last?

Don't have a Mercedes right now...
Do these problems happen to all years of the C32's? Didn't they fixed some of these probs the year 2004?
