#MERCEDES BENZ C230 KOMPRESSOR 2004 CODE#
Other thing it could be is the starter motor clutch but since it happened while you are driving I don't think so.įirst thing I would do is get someone to run a code check. That would be a common failure (on all makes not just Mercedes) that would cause a car to tie whilst driving but without bits of engine coming out the tailpipe (or through the hood). Detailed specs and features for the Used 2004 Mercedes-Benz C-Class C230 including dimensions, horsepower, engine, capacity, fuel economy, transmission, engine type, cylinders, drivetrain and more. Personally I am thinking crankshaft position sensor but then I am no expert by any means. and huge nasty noises when it went.ĭid you get any hints that the timing chain was on its way out? Nasty rattles (especially when starting) can / are the most common warnings of timing chain and or timing chain tensioner failure. Such a failure usually results in exhaust valve heads coming through the tailpipe, bent intake and exhaust valves, etc. You don't say what mileage your car has but if it is below 200k miles I would be very surprised if the timing chain had gone.
