Hey everyone,

I’m planning to apply to universities in Germany and I’m a bit confused about the language certificate requirement.

Do we already need to have the German language certificate at the time of applying and submitting the application? Or is it okay to provide it later during enrollment after getting accepted?

I'm completely lost in the admission process of Universities, so if u know any other post where the process is explain, please share it.

Thanks in advance!

Hey guys,

I have a 2005 Mercedes C230 Kompressor W203 with the 1.8 supercharged M271 engine with 185,000 kms.

About 2600–2800 km ago, I changed the oil. Recently I checked the oil level from the dashboard menu while the engine was cold and had been sitting for around 1–2 days, and it showed about 4.3L.

The engine is usually driven normally, but sometimes I do hard pulls/full throttle.

A few things I noticed:

• Slight oil consumption
• Some suction/pulsing when removing oil cap
• No oil leaks
• No smoke that I’ve noticed
• No oil pressure warnings
• Car otherwise drives fine

I’ve been reading about the M271 PCV/breather system and diaphragm issues, so now I’m wondering:

1. Is this amount of oil consumption normal for an older supercharged M271?
2. Does this sound more like a PCV/breather issue?
3. How much oil usage considered normal on these engines?

Would appreciate advice from people familiar with the M271.
