2007 Mercedes-Benz C230 Sedan - Answered Questions & Fixed issues

crankshaft/camshaft position correlation error. Can be caused by slipped timing belt or either sensor manfunction. First thing to do is check connectors on both sensors. If good, then you should check the valve timing by inspecting the camshaft sprocket alignment with timing marks. If you need instructions, please let us know.

it could be one of two things. cam sensor or the cat sensors. but you would need to really need the ecu read to find the code the ecu is giving. even a cheap code reader will do to just get the code that is stored. as you don't want to just be changing parts.

tell them to read the fault codes first before they do any thing indicates dirty oil, TCM problems

sounds like a bad door trunk or hood switch.

well what did the mechanic do to solve misfire ---the rough running can be anything from bad gas to dirty fuel filter or needing a tune up

There is a handle inside the cup holder compartment. Lift it up then slide the console. Let go of the handle to lock it in place.

there is a problem with the air bag sensors run the fault codes to find the reason for the fault

possible the siren has battery in it and is failing or bad. causing the alarm to go off

If the vibration is observed when the car is at rest, engine is running, brake pedal is depressed and is on D, check the following: - Idle speed must be according to the specification. - Vacuum leak. - Spark plugs condition and air gaps between the electrodes. - Fuel system and injectors. - Engine and transmission mounts for looseness or are broken. - Muffler and its foundations.

Do NOT take it to Jiffy Lube or any non-Mercedes place (independent shops are fine) for oil changes -- yes, the $150 oil changes are killer, but you need them. Your car is meant to go 14,000 miles give or take between oil changes. The oil (Mobil 1) and filters (Mann/Mahle/OE Genuine) that MB uses on your car are meant to last that long. The Fram/Purolator and Pennzoil/Quaker State/generic that Jiffy Lube puts in will last 3000 miles -- and even at that are not of sufficient quality to lubricate your engine properly.

Find a good independent Mercedes shop, it sounds like you're getting scammed by the dealer.

I'm a c230 owner and when i visited the dealer they said "don't worry for a light will come on to let you know it's time. Should be at 10,000 miles but there is a sensor to have it come on sooner if the oil needs it. cost approx $248.

Good luck

Near the thermostat housing behind the V belt.

in the engine could be worn out belt or loose, low power steering fluid, bad idler pulley alway related to the belts.

it think your refuring to a evap canister

Did you clear the code after replacing the thermostat and it came back? If you didn't clear the code, do so. If it came back the problem could be a faulty coolant temp sensor. That is the next thing to check.

Do it even click when you turn the key? or does it not make any sounds at all?

i'd try some fuel addative to clean out the injection system ,give it a good long drive (50-100miles) so the engine gets to a high running temperature , does the vehicle do a lot of stop/start journeys ? if so i'd add the fuel addative on a regular basis to avoid this kind of issue, otherwise will have to strip down the injection system and inlet manifold etc

Replace to repair

i would also check the mute or volume buttons on the steering wheel. spray them with a can of compressed air, hold the volume up and spray the minus and vise versa. hope this helps.

No such figure. Shift points can be near the redline RPM or just above idle, it depends on hard you press the gas pedal.
