| Mercedes-Benz C200 W203 Kompressor |
Mercedes C-Class W203, however, as the previous generation, is still the most prestigious and most expensive in its class. He has excellent handling characteristics and high level of comfort, but frankly have a car is expensive, as they say, for all the good you have to pay.
Main technical characteristics of Mercedes-Benz C200 W203 Kompressor, provided the test (data from the manufacturer for a new car):
- Engine capacity - 1998 cu. cm;
- Engine power - 163 HP at 5 300 r / min;
- Torque - 230 Nm at 2 500 r / min;
- Maximum speed - 230 km / h;
- Dynamics of the acceleration (0 to 100 km / h) - 9;
- Fuel consumption on the highway is 6.9 l/100 km in the city - 13.9 L/100 km;
- Clearance - 150 mm.
Body
He is well protected against corrosion. The instance of 2001 to date should not be even a hint of rust. Its visible lesions may indicate poor-quality restoration body panels after the accident.
Engine
The four-cylinder 2-liter engine itself is quite reliable and unpretentious. It is equipped with a mechanical compressor or blower, which has some advantages over the more common turbochargers: immediate reaction to the gas pedal and no turboyamy. However, during the operation of a motor needs more high-quality and timely service. For example, the late replacement of the air filter is the risk that will drive the supercharger oil, and then it will work increased noise, which is a signal for the repair or replacement of the compressor.
And if the filter will be completely clogged, the motor can draw it in yourself and deform, and as a consequence - engine overhaul.
Other features may be noted that after a run of about 60-80 thousand miles may require replacement of the tensioner and the belt clip, and after about 120 000 km - and the water pump. Often time there is oil leaking from the valve cover gaskets, and the spark plug wells are usually flooded with oil.
Transmission
Automatic transmission with manual shift transmission, which is equipped with a Mercedes C-class, reliable enough. By the way, the manufacturer states that it is maintenance-free, ie oil it is designed for the lifetime of the unit. Nevertheless, in our case, some experts recommend to replace the transmission fluid every 60,000 miles. May eventually begin to leak electrical connector manager, and change it did not make sense. Practice shows that this fault can be eliminated by sealing. However, it should be done carefully, so that the sealant is not ranked in the oil box.
Chassis
The suspension often, you may have to change the front trailing arm bushings and strut front stabilizer bar. These details are in our environment are about 30-50 thousand km. At about the same mileage often require replacement and outer bushings lower wishbone rear suspension. Longitudinal and transverse arms, and tie-rod ends, rack rear stabilizer bar and front shock absorbers are likely to last for about 90 thousand kilometers. Rear suspension largest investments may require after driving 100,000 miles.
The front brakes generally provide 60 thousand km, rear stand about 90 thousand kilometers.
