My oxygen sensor AFTER the catalytic converter had its heater element fail (check engine light code PO141). The car put me into limp mode about 15 minutes later as I was trying to get home (CEL code PO300). The engine was running very rich on the air/fuel mixture (over 5% CO).
I ordered a n... read more

Just picked up a '97 C230. Real nice car but can anyone tell me what potential problems I should be looking out

I have a 98 C230 for ten years. I'm thinking of replacing it. The W203 look nice. How reliable are the superchargers. I have seen some posts on here that some have had to replace it. Whats the general consensus. I would proable buy a car with mileage around 50k to 65k.

I've had some challenges with a broken passenger side mirror. Somehow, the hook thing that holds the mirror assembly in place broke. Replacing it meant getting an entire mirror assembly (less the cover). That was a bit too pricey (> $200). I figured there had to be a way to fix it. The sprin... read more
