2000 Mercedes-Benz C-Class cdi review from UK and Ireland
"Nearly an old mans car, but styling gets it through!"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
The tyres seem to wear on the outside too quickly.
The front right indicator bulb has burnt through the metal contact points so the warning light comes on saying the bulb has blown. In fact I just bent the connector over and it started to work again.
The warning indicator came on saying I needed to replace the brake pads. Nothing unusual there except, it happened on my drive back from the dealership where I had just spent £400 on a service! When I returned the car they changed the pads for free (suitably embarrassed)
General comments?
This is my first Mercedes and although it's a bit noisy (it is a diesel) I am reasonably pleased with it.
