2005 Mercedes Benz C-Class C230 Kompressor Sport Sedan 6 Speed (UPDATE!) (LOTS OF PICS!)

Updated: 09 Dec 2024

~6 month update. Car has been great to me. Here are some of the things I have done since I got the car:

-Oil was leaking into the spark plugs, so replaced valve cover gasket. Clean as a whistle!
-Replaced spark plugs.
-Replaced air filter and cabin air filter.
-Changed oil.
-Changed front brakes, painted calipers, added Mercedes-Benz decals. (waiting for them to fall off)
-I have rear brakes sitting in my garage, might do them this weekend.
-Added an aluminum air intake (instead of nylon) for the supercharger. Sounds meatier, and I’d like to think it runs better.
-Refinished wheels, they look almost gunmetal now.
-Added an aux and 12 volt to my center console.
-I have taken way too many pictures.
-There is a nice cold start video!!

If anyone wants pictures of any of these projects, I probably have them. Just let me know! Sorry I don’t have them all at one time.

Do you have any pictures of what the tire tred looks like? Did this change the ride over stock tires? If so in what way.. I found a C230 sport at the dealer and tested it out. Awesome car! Felt like a real Benz. It’s crazy no matter how old you go with Mercedes they feel just as refined as the new ones. They’re just made to feel more up to date basically. I will say though the CLA and GLA and 300 engines in the new models are embarrassing
