Well Bela I don't know what totell you. I have a C240 2002 and I haven't had any issues with it, though your car is the firstmodel of the new C class generation. You should know that you never buy the first model of the new generation of any car. They usually find and fixany problems on thefollowing year.</P>

The moral of the story as with any car is make sure that you have a good warranty from the garage you bought it from . Have you tried contacting mercedes direct and telling them of your woes. They are very good at giving you refunds if you can prove that it is a premature failure. Have you had the car serviced by a registered mercedes Dealer. Sounds to me like you have just got a runt car.</P>
