My second MB...2004 C240 Sport Wagon
Wanted to stop off here before I head down to the W203 forum to ask a few questions and pick a few fellow owner's brains. My first MB was an 86 190D with the 4 cylinder. Loved, it. Fixed it up, rode it for a few years and sold it when I needed another bigger truck.
This C240 Wagon was in fairly good shape but in need of some TLC. The first owner apparently kept it in good shape from the CarFax records. The last owner kept it up but not as meticulously as the first. So I am at least the 3rd owner of a MB with 175k miles. It runs pretty good. It shifts fine. Just a few gremlins to sort out. But already taken care of several of the "drive to shop" indicators...with 2 more left to sort out.
Anyway, this one is taking over regular, daily car duties from my wife's tired Ford Taurus. My back is already thanking me. The smaller Benz is much more suited for my long legs and torso. Go figure. The 190D was that way as well.

2003 C240 Wagon
I do need to figure out the wire color position going to the rain sensor. Mine was missing the sensor and someone cut the plug off to remove it. I got another from a local euro wrecking yard that they guarantee to fit. But they did not have the original harness with the correct wire colors. I am going to have to splice in another plug with different wire colors, (off a S class maybe?). What I need is a picture of the plug up close with the correct wiring position of the 3 wires going into the plug so I can make the new one match up. Anyone care to help out? TIA
