Porn music, Russian accents and a great Mercedes review. This is pure gold.

When you listen to this guy talking about common problems on the car you decide you don’t want to buy any car

Got this car for 13 years now (bought it new in 2007). The only issue I had was that the rear lights tend to break fast. The problem was in the plastic of the lamp holder witch tended to melt. Also the light itself breaks at the base connector and not on the wires. There are no issues to report on the 220 cdi engine. Regular maintenance and no brush washes made the car to be in a good shape after 330.000km

For all those problems... WE HAVE CHRIS-FIX ❤😂

Actually, I feel more comfor table to get this car,after watching this video mate,Thank u

I was very dissapointed by the Classic trim in the first generation. The interior plastics looked like Toyota, actually Toyota looked better.

Better also take the model from late 2011 with the renewed interior design, the screen is much better integrated

W204 = OM646 engine + 722.6 gearbox = road to 1M kilometers , all the time 😎

I bought a w204 200cdi 2008 model few months ago and I love it! Absolutley good interior guality and good diesel consumption. I had only to replace break pipes because they leaked break fluid. I bought mercedes used from the dealer so they fixed it for me free. Thank you for this video and respect from Finland!🇫🇮

Really helpful, thank you. Glad to hear that the C Class has a timing chain and not belt. I’ve just bought a 220 CDI Blue Efficiency Sport (2009) & collecting it today. I’ve got my Dream Car, at last. I’m so excited 😍😍

This car is top class. I purchased it 3 years ago and until now thanks to God nothing went wrong. 10 year old car that looks like new, all people have high praises for this car. Just make regular service

Most of the ones with the m271 engine can be susceptible to timing chain issues. Check if it had been replaced before. At 100k it can already become stretched. Don't wait till 300k...

Anyone else come for table?

What is your opinion of the 2011- C200 W204 facelift version with the 1.8 litre turbo petrol ? I'm looking at a mint condition Estate with 88,000 km on the clock. It's gorgeous .. But is it reliable?

Your opinion about OM651, particularly C220 CDI 170HP

What about the new one from 2014- ? Any news on it? W205 :)

Build quality of the interior is good outside of the seats. Horrible quality "leather" that is thin and tears easily.

2009, c180, 4 cylinder, at 123k miles, timing chain COGS, teeth shredded, replaced just cogs. I was lucky, it happened, while in my garage, while idling, and then it wouldn't start. I also upgraded tiny screen, to 8 inch android touch screen. The thermostat also stuck open, I replaced. I made a little video)

Short n crisp, needless to say helpful!😉

I have a 2011 C300 with none of those engines...mine has a 228HP V-6. I have over 90K miles now (bought it at 28K) and the only thing I replaced was an alternator and new accelerator pedal/module. Otherwise it's been about perfect. I checked it out for reliability on Consumer Reports before buying and am glad I did.

The dash of the first models look worse and uglier than the w202, thankfully they updated in the facelifted model.

Don't know why I'm watching this a year and a half after buying one, but good vid.

Both camshaft sensor and magnetic adjuster, and the thermostat !

After searching for a while i got a C220 CDI 170HP OM646EVO from 2007 in Elegance trim with 217 000KM. Imported from Italy. In a typical italian fashion the car looks good but has poor equpment. In total with registration it costed me 4500EUR. The best car i ever got, it is a manual 6 speed it has lether interior and has automatic 2 zone ac. Small stereo but i dont care it sounds awesome. I just hate that my country taxes cars over 2L that heavly. 500EUR for registration. I have to note that i do all the work myself on the car, i paid it 3500EUR, import 200eur and the rest was a service and few suspention parts. So far so good. Used Mobil oil as factory recommends. MAN filtersas well. Really happy with the car

I just bought one yesterday I hope i will not spend much money on it because my Passat b6 4motion took away all my money

Good channel. But the W203 is more distinctive and faults should be fixed by now, I know I've had 2! W204 just isn't special....stick a Toyota grille on & go tell?

Another common issue is the steering lock module failure. Dealer only part plus fitting

I love c klasse.

On the petrol engines you only mentioned the 4 cylinder and V6 ones, what about the V8 in the C63 AMG?

What about the corrosion on underbody it's very common

I have a 2010 c200 cdi with 220 miles on the clock. It is running like a train. No problem. Mercedes is king

I am thinking about getting one, but what holds me is the interior of this car. Mercedes did a vinyl plastic interior that chips off like paper. And most of these 2008-2010 look like they went through hell inside.

If anyones buying one with the 2.1 diesel engine, watch out for these things plastic trim being loose, all hoses either coming away or being loose, turbo exaust gas leak, rod knock, oil leaks, when the timing equipment was last changed And finaly when checking any of the facelifted W204's, always check the rear break disks, rear brake back plates for rust and fauling of the disk, This can usually give a rattle or a rubbing sound as you drive along and can sometimes mean you need new handbrake shoes and shoe springs

I own a 2012 c350 CDI and have done for nearly 5 years, had a strange elec fault which was the fuse box on the side of the front battery, cost £200 to change it. Had no other problems at all in 50000 miles, eats tyres, I change the rears every year but that’s because of 265 hp and wet roads, great car which has plenty of grunt. Just buy one

Don't buy used mercedes

Thank you for all your reviews of the various "aged" car models! Do you do Toyota reviews too?

This c class its a reliable car and it does not have much very serious problems? I m planing to buy a second want

I've owned a C250 AMG line (Diesel) for the last two years, it's been nothing but trouble. I've changed a lots of engine sensors which constantly fail, the water pump is leaking, the following items don't work: CD player, drivers heated seat, air con. I've had to remove the DPF and jet clean it to remove the soot. The brak pipes are rusting and need replacing. The Foed Galaxy I had before this was trouble free.

Good review one of the best to understand the mechanics of this car. Thumbs up

I have c300 2011 car is perfect now is 140k km Only problem I have is multimedia joystick not working. Everything else work prefect. Using only shell Vpower + and synthetic oil... you should have any problems

U missed de 250d engine lol

You do great video’s thanks heaps, keep up the good work :)

You did not mention the CGI engines that replaced the petrol kompressor engines

for bmw 5 series F10 please...

the stipulated expiry date of Mercedes is only after forever Mercedes you are the best

I have one 1.8k with 85.000km . On high speed on motorways when I am pushing the engine I have detected a huge loss of power and the engine starts shaking. Once you turn off the car and start it over, the problem of the shaking engine deseapear. Once I push the engine back to high speed will happen again the power loss. Anyone w the same problem? My one is a c Class 200 kompressor 2009 model. Observation: anyone doesn't like to push the engine will never discover the problem.

Hey, you missed the C350 CDI which I am looking into buying with AMG package. Would love to hear your thoughts. I was actually thinking whether C350 or C350 CDI is better, but since the diesel is the same fast with a lot more torque and a lot better consumption, I guess the diesel is a better choice

My Experience ... spent thousands fixing stupid and really annoying electrical faults Steering lock solenoid fault on a driving holiday had to have it towed back to a capital city.. Faulty head unit.. quoted $2000 to repair (the radio) this stuff is all proprietary and costs big money to fix.... Sorry would never recommend these cars to anyone...

Calling up random problems that any car can suffer from is hardly a specific to Mercedes Benz! Poor review.. I have a 2008 C320cdi that has just hit 100k miles it runs like new. Keep it serviced valeted and look after it and it will run forever..

Had one 2012 new. Piece of crap. Everything failed, even the drivers seat had to be replaced 2x. The steering pin lock failed, the cooling system, the turbo failed, probably spent as much on repairing the car as the car itself. It made it to about 120k miles. I guess that's ok (but suposedly can go longer).

I have a c300 2010 , i have buyed in canada misisagua. And i have a problem when a start the car the headlight’s are always on. Xenon and bixenon are always on in every position. And in stings menu dosent have any option for daytime lights. Can anybody help me?

My CLK 220 CDI 2007 has done 234000 Mls No Issues Full MB Service History up to 218000 miles from then on used Independent MB or do every thing myself . I won’t change it looks in Mint condition inside and I have just put New Pirelli Tyres on which I’m sure give a better ride .I expect it to pass Mot in May with Flying Colours !

Hey I need help.I just want to but a Mercedes 2013 c class c 250,with engin L4 to do uber or lyft with 43000miles on it . I'll always dream this car so please help me is it worth?I really need your help!!

This Hungarian accent is just unmistakable :)))))

The worse car in my life was mercedes c class w203.Electrical problems all the time,the rust was everywhere.I wouldn't buy even a vacuum cleaner from Germans anymore.Germans should learn from Japaneses how to make a quality car.

I have a 2013 c class petrol and was told my timing chain was slipping but doesn’t show up on diagnostic had it in at Mercedes told cam shaft would need done as well at the cost of £4k took it to a Mercedes specialist who used to work for Mercedes and his diagnostic flung up a thermostat and cooling switch to be replaced any advice on this

Make sure that the damn accelerating unit (because it is not just a pedal anymore) and the steering lock mechanisms have been checked out and / or replaced. Had to go through those two, fortunately under warranty, otherwise = big bucks and annoying as fuck efforts to get a stuck steering car out of a tight parking lot.

Don't buy the diesel since it's a mercedes benz. If you buy the 1.8 k you will get rid of all the parts a diesel would that will eventully break such as egr and dpf. Buy the 1.8k its fast and nice

It's simple, buy a clean low mileage well maintained accident free example and you'll be laughing, high mileage no service history rough example will bring nothing but trouble!

Hello Buddy all this errors only on Europes cars , Not in Asian side.... This car is wonderful car , Excellent performances,

Get the facelifted model from 2011, that extra tech makes a big difference!

I have driving volvo all my life but i wanna try a mercedes i like 2013 c 180 petrol i dont need diesel. Shall i have 180 or 200? Ty

I got a W204 C180 kompressor 156hp from 2008... good car 👌

I have the same car 1.8 petrol and i only get 380km on full tank 15L per 100km. Is this normal??

Got the Coupe CDI 250 2011 with the AMG sporty stuff - 19in wheels , looks as good now as it did 11 years ago! 160k km and going strong. LOVE this car.

I heard the manuals weren't as reliable as the auto's? Also timing 'chains' won't 'break'.

Great videos!I understood for exaple 2008 and 2012 diesel engine are the same?

All facelift W204 Petrol VS Diesel? Both C250. Verdict?

This car had a major and expensive problem. Rear crossmember brakes apart due to low quality.$2500 to $5000 to replace.

What about c250??

Why You need satnav i old car ,when every phone have google maps?

Я чето не понял а где 1.6 двигатель?? Там ещё 2.0 2.2 2.5 2.8 и все в разных модификациях. Почему он их не показал

I have old model car - no rust - ver good - no problems - you buy plis.

Are there any common issues with the 1.6 engines because you didn’t mentioned them but great video man 👍🏽 keep up the good work

This 2014 or a Audi A4 B8.5?

I own this car for almost 190k km, so reliable machine..

I wanna bis a C180k but I feel like the Clutch/coupling is jerking. Is that a Common issue and might that be expensive?

Please make a video of the Mercedes benz c180 (2015 and up)

hello. need help. my 2007 mercedes bemz c220 cdi gives a ESP light while driving. either on cruise control or using the foot and pressing. could it be the battery? or any advise please. as i dont know whats up. i have to then switch the car off then on then its fine until it happens again.

i have this car it is a nice little cheap hoe mobile

Why didn’t you say anything about 250 cdi

nice car

Wow it would be nice if you actually knew what you were talking about. I’m a Benz technician. Guy read a brochure

More confused than ever now

The cgi engines are better than the kompressor ones

where can one get a diesel engine cars esp mercedez

My rear shocks are gone. The car is made 2008. Idk maybe the previous owner drifted it or something. Also the parktronic is shot. They said at the garage that front bumper if i recall correctly was interfering with the sensors

Respect! Great no nonsense videos!

the w203 c280 interior was much better than the w204. My w203 very reliable no problems. I drove a w204 hated it. cheap cheap cheap. Mercedes also fixed one recall so I wouldn't have issues with the balance shaft failure and its only on certain w203 models. Not all w203 model engines had this balance shaft issue.

You forgot the c250 cdi diesel engine

Please. Which is better. G L A or C180

Thanks for this. Just got one a couple weeks ago n this will make anything that pops up less surprising for sure

is the older 5 speed automatic transmission more reliable than the 7 speed automatic? I didn't understand in the video

W203 mercedes please. Good review man.

wait, I leased a 2015 version and this car goes crazy with chipped paint, the passenger led fog lamp broke, many other cars on the road are missing lights, and water loves to get in the tail pipe after car wash. Nice car, but too many high maintenance exterior issues and must be washed every 3days!

Drivers seat tear

From which year is the engines direct injection?

The 2006 E class wat is the problem 4pulg

great info, tqvm.. looking fwd to buy this model soon..
