I have a 95 C220 with 79000 miles, and it had few problems. So now i am considering should i keep the car or give up, because i heared about the 95 C220 has alot of problems? So far, i have following problems with my mbz. hope someone can tell me how to solve those problems and tell me the cost. Thanks (i did my maintenance regularly) <br>
-one of the lighting malfunction indicator light is on 'SOMETIMES', but i checked it and found all the lights are working good.<br>
-Sometimes it stalls after i started the engine. (RPM goes up and down then drop to 0).<br>
-the transmission shifting spills my coffe <br>
-while summer, the engine room temperture meter goes up to 3/4 high or swim between the half high to 3/4 high<br>
Thanks again for help or share......<br>

I had a 99 C280 Sport - got rid of it at 16k miles because of the engine/transmission pickup... too sluggish IMO. <br> <br> I replaced it with the 2001 E430 Sport, but my BMW 540i is still more agile and more fun to drive.

benz made throttle lag, if u get a chip 'supposly' it will get rid of it, like the audis have the same thing laggy throttle response

SC2; <br> <br> I have a 1995 C280 that I bought in May of this year. Nothing major so far, but I have noticed dime sized oil drops on the garage floor in the mornings. Also, I had my 1st 'Check Engine' light come on this weekend. I have heard that it is a catch all for everything from air sensor to power seat motor malfunction. OBM diag cost around $80 just to determine that problem. Independent garage does all my work and says the C280 is basically a good car but had some gasket head design problems the only major defect! Good luck.
