Have a 99 C230 K. Bought at 45K now has 107K. Had a problem with the check engine light going on and a cylinder dropping out. Re-start and it was fine. This increased in frequency. One mechanic miss-diagnosed as a bad injector. Took it to another and it was the spark plugs. Had a complete 100K service including brakes and it runs like a dream. New tires and it’s like a new car.

This is my last car I hope. You can bury me in it.

I've been looking for one for a while now.. a black manual c230 kompressor either 99/oo year..

With petrol prices hiking up as we speak, what would happen if you were to put an lgp conversion on it? would it adversely affect the supercharged engine?

I have owned and driven a 99 C230 Kompressor since my senior year of high school. The car had 26,000 miles on it, and I've put about 30,000 on it to date.

One way you can increase MPG and performance without severe modification is to invest in some air filters (particularly K&N). This allows the car to breathe better, and allows the engine to put in more performance without sacrificing gas.
