After a few problems here and there I decided to sell my little Fabia..

im sure it wont be long before im back in a skoda (hopefully a yeti) but I was sad to see it go.

My 'new' car was a steal.. 2000 Mercedes c180 auto, 90000 miles with mot and a purring engine..... £200!!

Should last me a few years until im back to being a skoda owner again.

But for now.. Thanks for your help.

I thought, only based on my sister in law's experience of M-Bs that most of their engines, especially the petrol ones, checked out out early in life due to cylinder head issues?

 

Remember to check up on that very M-B problem with hidden serious rust as well, including cross members - good luck!

 

Oh, and I hope that it is not an auto box as they tend to end their lives with intercooler issues that get antifreeze into the clutches, might be smart to replace these water/oil intercoolers if it is an auto box.

Bought the car from my father in law and its been kept in good nick. Engine is mint and only had a small amount of surface rust.

But cheers for the heads up. Ill keep an eye out for these problems.
