2012 c250 sport
Just intered the MBWorld C250
Been drive a E39 BMW for a few year now, Just got my first Benz - C250 loving it more ever day.
Can wait to gain insight on the in and outs of this c250.
What should I know in advance and/or what should I expect form this 2012 C250.
I only had it less the 30 days now and all ready had a bad Transmission ATF leak. it was due to one of the bolts not being tighten correctly.
luckily am a very good with tools and always worked on my own cars.
( especially owning a 1997 BMW 528 for many years).
Hopefully this ATF leak will be my only surprise. although, I currently need help with the front & rear lighter sockets not working (I'm a mechanic so yes I checked the fuse(s). I seen and read about removing the ashtray assembly
and inspect it as it has been known to short out.
So if any one has any feedback on that issue it will be appreciated.
Thank you in advance, look forward learning from you all..

welcome please post picture of your ride. I had a similar problem in one of my older cars. Found that the ground was bad. Do not know if it applies to a German car but just a thought

Welcome to MBWorld. W204 has already been known for a few bad ground wires so I'd take a look at that first.
