1995 Mercedes-Benz C-Class C180 Elegance from Portugal - Comments

Hi, I have a C180 Kompressor 2002 and I hear a knocking noise in the engine. Any ideas what it is? Did anyone have the same problem?

I have1995 mercedes c180 with 133000 km on clock, in 9 years I have done 15000 km, never had a service or oil change,never changed spark plugs and is steel going good. Car is ex Japan, goes exelent, on flat road you can drive 50 km without exelerator. Only repair on car has was, one tie rod end steering linkage replaced, total repair cost of nz $790.No bad hi. I am happy with my Merc preformance, does seem to change with outside temperature and moisture in air. Looks to me,that you people in europe are sold lemon. Does Mercedes have two quality controls one for asian export and other for domestic market.

Hi.

I have a C180 1995. The only problem I had till now was the drive shaft bearing, but now it's leaking oil in the back of the engine, and it seems to be leaking water too (not too much), and another problem is a knocking metallic noise coming from the wheels, maybe due to disks and pads worn.

But I never had a problem in it, and it had already 180.000 miles on the clock.

Can someone tell me if they had the same problems I have and how they fixed them?

Thanks (goncaloncpinto@hotmail.com)

You buy radiator weld from car parts shop and will stop water leaks. Use 2 units like I did. Total cost 5 pounds approx.
