I'm really grateful to this forum for the information that it is giving out. I had no idea of the delays, the differences in BIK on various builds of the C350e and so on. I'm really not sure what I am going to do at the moment.

C200 Kompressor W204
Greetings from Greece,my name is Christos.
Proud owner of a w204 C200 Kompressor Avantgarde edition '08.
Would go for a bigger (in cc) model ,but our goverments here always find ways to surprise us with tax issues and gasoline price,so i walked the safe path of 1800cc.
Nevertheless i dont regret my choice ,its a second hand car with only 58.000 kms ,full service book and a good overall accessories package .
Some modifications already took place:
-tint
-sport suspensions(OEM)
More to come:
-lowering springs 30/30mm (debating which of Eibach, H&R, ST by KW or the OEM's)
-C63 grill
-Rims (still not sure the all around benefits of going from 17-> 18" rather than looks, when our country roads i mostly use ,are full of potholes..)

Already read most of topics, very "live" and helpfull forum.
Glad to be here guys!

2001 c240 1995 e320
New member, 2001 C240 MFD Issue

I had this car detailed two weeks ago. When I picked it up, the multifunction display no longer worked. Nobody could figure out what went wrong. A few days later, vertical stripes appeared in the display, and on the next start, it worked perfectly. The next start, no go. Then, again a couple of days later, I got the stripes and with the next start, a normal display. Since then, however, occasional stripes, never a normal display.

I took the instrument cluster out and checked the ribbon cable as a member suggested in a post. No obvious problem there. I tried to check the rear SAM and front SAM, checking fuses, relays, and the computer to look for water or moisture. Everything dry. I got one normal display for my trouble, plus now a persistent SRS error and the AC no longer turning on. I am afraid to try anything else.

Anyone have any suggestions? If not, next stop Just Answer or a local shop.

Thanks


Ken

I know I posted in the wrong place and should have used the w203 forum. I found that forum, no problem. How can I post my new thread there. I see Thread/Thread starter at the top but find no way in. Let me know if you can help.

Thanks,
