MB W202 c180 1995 non-A/C
It has never worked in my time. Is this common.

I don’t know if it is related im also chasing a heating problem. Where it’s always blowing hot air.

On this hot air problem i have changed the dou-valve, cleaned the cabin temperature sensor, checked fuses and measured the dou-valve plug.

I really started to like the platform, i have so much plans for this car, startin to disassemble it this fall for engine swap and complete rehaul. Only issue is the lazy engine

I done my big job under hood. Replaced all epdm pipes to new originals and replaced default clamps to vag type spring clamps. Did put every plastic element on place. It took me 1 year and 4 days to do.

My uncle has bought this car around 20 years ago, he gave it to my dad before going to Germany and now it's my turn to own it.

I did buy the plastic sill covers need to get them resprayed.

I have an '96 C180 and I've decided to put some nice rims on it. The problem with this is, that the rims I landed on seem to not be legal with the C180, even though I specifically searched for them.

Is it possible, to put  8×16 ET34 rims on it legally or do you have any recommendations? I live in Germany, if that helps.

Here is the list I'm going of: https://club.autodoc.co.uk/tyres/mercedes-benz/c-class/c-class-w202

Thank yall in advance

Hi, my 1994 C200 petrol manual with the M111.941 engine has been having some annoying symptoms for a while and slowly getting worse, so I finally want to fix everything that needs fixing.

Problems:

I have quite a bit of revhang sometimes, usually when it happens it’s around 1000-1500 rpm for a few seconds after I let off the throttle.

The car is also a bit hard to start sometimes, but only when it’s warm. It cranks for ~5s before starting, but it always starts. Very quick to start when it’s fully cold.

The temperature needle jumps up and down a bit, it stays at the correct temperature for a while sometimes but usually it’s doing weird things.

Relevant info:

It’s an early model that uses the PMS system, meaning no maf sensor. The fueling is controlled mostly by manifold pressure from my understanding, but I’m no expert on this.

At this point the car has been driven 273000km, I have only owned it for the last 40k but it’s been going strong even with these little issues being there for a long time now.

Already done:

- Relearn mode
- Replaced all three coolant temp sensors
- Cleaned the butterfly valve in the throttlebody

If anyone has any ideas I would greatly appriciate it!

Does anyone have 3D print files for these? Id prefer to not buy an entire parking brake assembly just cause of these.

I have been fighting this strainer hose for a while now and running out of ideas. The car is 95 C180 and the strainer filter and gas hose are original. The hose melted, started to leak and I first tried to expand it with a metal pipe well that did not work. Sourced a new hose and a strainer, cut the old one off to get a socket on but it still does not budge, same with the aluminium strainer that is connected to the plastic fuel tank. I have soaked it plenty with different release liquids. Obviously I do not want to use fire near the tank as it is a saddle type and there is fuel still inside. Thinking of using induction over the hose nut to get it heated enough but will it spark so possibly dangerous?
