Mercedes Benz c230 kompressor
Newb from Arizona.

I am new to these forums here. I have browsed
them for months, for good, and useful information, but never have bothered to register until tonight.

After a family member had passed away (on Super Bowl of 2015), I sold my beloved C280, so I can fly back to the Midwest.

The reason why I'm here now, is because I just picked up a little gem In town for a price that I couldn't refuse. Mind you, it will need work but I plan on getting my hands dirty tomorrow with a good cleaning, oil change, and a tune up.

But first, here are some pictures of the c280.




I miss that car, but here's my new mercedes. (Well, new to me.)
199 c230



As I stated above, I just picked this up a day ago for a killer deal.
It needs love, but I want to baby it, and make sure it runs perfect before I try and add any fun stuff.


I hope to learn a bunch of stuff by coming here. More pictures to come in the morning.

-Ron

Thanks guy! I have actually been looking around the forums for a p0445 issue.. I have found a few threads about it regarding the charcoal canister valve. I just have to wait until I get a day off to figure this thing out... I get the usual blinking gas light, getting a Code for p0455.

anyway, I'll just make a thread on my day off after I work on it and see if replacing that valve fixes my problem... I got a few other things im going to look into also. I really like this forum, it has tons of useful information.
