now bare in mind that my car is a manual
however everything is basically the same except for the transmission
which made it so fuun to drive
as for the features they are all the same and wil be very similar from model to model
some may have a few more as the extra option may have been added during production
but all w203's should have what im about to show you here today
if not dont be alarmed as it may just not have the added option thats all
its amazing that a car 20 years old has so many features
and im sure theres more that i have forgotten to mention
im so honored to have owned this car
and it is the car that made me love mercedes and made me want to buy the w204 c300
i fell in love with the shape and style of this car when it first came out
the lights , the badge
the curves made me love it so much
and always wanted to have one of my own
finally i was able to do that
and its been an amazing experience and i would never regret owning this beautiful car
honestly for a car that is 20 years ols, it still looks like an up to date car and
i believe that it can stand the test of time with the right love and care...
after all it is a mercedes benz and they lasts as long as you want them to with the right
maintenance...
with all that said
i really hope you found this video helpful

This guy sure read all the owners manual and got very good understanding nice job well done
nah actually I just did alot of research ..yes I did read some of it but more videos and forums ..
Doug demuro would be impressed
@@asdasd01 wow that means alot
I don't remember any of this stuff in the owners manual 😂
@@pauliahonen4970 lts kind if hard to find things and it doesn't give a very good explanation, it just kind of tells you it's there.l think most people don't ever even learn all the functions the entire time they own these cars.The newer ones are even more complex...these videos like these are the best way to learn a new car.This guy is perfect the way he explains things that you can remember
As a woman, being able to change the "Unlock all doors at the same time" feature to just the driver door unlocking is a game changer. It's a huge safety feature. Always nervous of someone jumping into the passenger side as I unlock my door. Thank you!
yes its a really convenient feature
That’s true safety first
@@MIKEYZVLOGZits ok
Tbh in germany that feature doesn't get used at all... Neither by men or women😅 but i'm glad that this function is helpful at all :)
lol ..but its good to know it's there ..cuz its is useful
Great video. The W203 is indeed a beautiful car. 20 years old and still looks great. Wonderful design for sure.
indeed i still love it hence why i havent sold it just yet lol...
@@MIKEYZVLOGZ l have a 2002 c240 same color as yours .l love this car.I only wish that I had a the turbo version of the 2.6 engine which would boost it to 349 hp from the 168 that it has .l think this car is just a little bit underpowered, that's my only complaint
@@chrisfritz6261 yes i understand ya.. but if u wanted a more ppwerful car should have gone with a bigger engine then u would like it more... the 200 and 2 cylinder are just for cruising ... eventho mine is supercharged just lacks power too..and u can only upgrade the charger so much
@@MIKEYZVLOGZ l actually rescued this car at a auction and only paid $1400 for it.It ended up having a bad transmission and all the typical problems that this car has when it gets old .l put a trans in it that I bought at a salvage yard and fixed the small problems that were broken and now everything works and it looks great.Rhe next thing I need to do us rebuild the suspension both front and back.l already have the parts but it us such a pain to get under the car to do this job that I have been putting it off .
@@chrisfritz6261 l have the c32 with 400hp and supercharger stock. Not bad but needs a dyno tune to make it fly. cheers
I just bought a c230 and this video is super helpful in understanding my car. Best descriptive video out there 😁
Great man....I'm also new to W203 owner...n still learning n searching all methods about W203...it a smart car indeed.
this is jawdropping, got this car for some years heritated from my step-dad ... thought I knew it well, but still stuff to explore... will dig for the aux cable as I got the stock radio, mindblowning, want this for years !
Had my W203 16 years learnt some good tips. Thanks
Great to hear!
Excellent video i didnt know half the things you mentioned ...💯
Perfect extremely helpful and good to know all these things
I've just bought my first ever Merc today, a C55. This video has been amazing for helping me setting everything up just how I like it, thank you very much
I'm glad to hear it
W203 is one of the best Mercedes ever made.
Actually it is considered the worst one.
@@buretehudesi everyone have their own opinion.
@@waseeqkhan863 it's not the opinion. It's based on comparing. The most people driving and maintaining these cars say w203 is the worse c class ewer made.
@@buretehudesi i have w203 for years i enjoy it everyday you maintain it well for sure you gonna enjoy it. I enjoy more then my civic 2017.
@@waseeqkhan863 w203 is last true mercedes.
very insightful indeed. I will get the most from my car now. Thanks a lot.

ur most welcome buddy great engine u got v6
Very good video, and think I might get some use of the stuff you mentioned in my W208. Would love to read the owners manual in it, but since it's imported it's in german which I don't know :/
Best w203 video out there. Clear speaking, detailed instructions, and awesome info👏👏🙌🙌
thanks so much for saying so ..I still get qll the haters..but they can't bring me down
@@MIKEYZVLOGZ ❤
Hi, i have a w203 c180 2006 model, your video helped me a lot. Top guy, thankyou.
Well done as always
Thanks heaps man. Ive had my W203 C320 for 2 years now. I thought I knew a lot about it, but you showed me some new stuff that was awesome, and I really appreciate it. I really like your wheels too dude. They really suit the car.
thanks for saying so yeah i thought so too
I have a c320 and it is sooooo broken but I’m trying to fix it up and I am struggling
How's the project going now?
I've got an 02 c320, has a few niggles but I love it.
This is a very informative video for Mercedes W302 owners who do not have the manual. It is an excellent presentation. Thanks a million 😊
most welcome
Congratulations on your C55 - will be a very sought after collectors vehicle!
The C55 are a naturally aspirated (no turbo or supercharger) and a real gem of an engine.
Look after it and treat it well.
Pull up on the coin holder to remove and underneath is a hole to poke a pen into to get an AUTOMATIC car out of park, probably for when the battery goes flat or in my case the ABS computer failed, it only gave me 2nd gear I think it was, (and reverse) but enough to limp home.
WOW, I imagine THAT is gonna be of REAL use.. one day!!
Thanks for that....
Weird place to put a thing.. they could have just put a button on the dash?
Oh.. I can't get mine out...
I am a pauper in a C Class.. :(
were you able to drive in a all gears after doing this??
nice to share it, I really appreciate
Thank you for this!
No worries!
thx bro! it was very helpful. best regards from croatia!

Bro thank you very helpful. I love my w203

Wauw that Coin holder is a class apart Love it 15:09
Great video, I’m new to W203 ownership, C38 Renntech.
Thank u my friend and welcome to the channel
Thank you appreciate all the tips!!
very welcome mate
great tips, thanks mate
Good video...thanks. Note when accessing the spare wheel in the boot there's a lead and clip that goes on the upper boot weather strip to hold the shelf up - very handy!!
Yes that's right good tip
Best video for the w203 !
Glad you think so!
Thank you ...very well explained
You are welcome
Awesome video, extremely helpful.
Dope video, thanks @Mikeyz Vlogz
cheers mate thanks
Nice sharing my friend
thx mate
WOAHHHHH best hacks ever on my w203 that I didn't know about for like 12 years of owning it
im so glad
Thank you mate.. Much appreciated
More then welcome
This is a really informative video, thank you a lot! I am a proud owner of a w203 220 cdi and i would like to ask you, if oyu could tell us which front lights, back lights and rims you got. i really want the same on my car! excellent style, greetings from germany
I can tell u that they are depo chrome projector lights with halogen bulbs but u can use leds or hids as well... tail lights are s class style clear red and for the rims they are multi spoke staggered concave rims
Christ had the car 7 years and never knew about the first aid kit on the back shelf thought it was a speaker. Thanks Dude.
I know amazing eh
Thank you so much....this is so helpful for me.
I'm so glad to hear it
Thank you very much.
You did an awesome job better than many. Very much so enjoyed even though i no longer own 2002 clk320 if you know the 2014 e350 cabriolet a video of that would be great. Thank you
I really appreciate the comment ... I'm humbled by your words... I really do try do my best to ensure no questions after cuz wen I watch other ppls ..there's no explanation just showing the functions and sometimes ppl need an explanation ..so I pride myself in giving as much info as possible ..2014 e350 cabriolet noice!!!!! but truth is alot of these features are mercedes wide and most mercs have the same functions so eventhough u own another model u can always try and see what happens ..with that said sometimes its a tad different aswell
Great work bro. Love all your video's.
Cheers
This is the best tutorial seen
some ppl hate it or love it ... I just don't get it ... but won't change me doing what I do
That's the most useful video of this car that I have found on the internet.. Really appreciate it man you saved me a lot of time
u r most welcome my friend
This video deserves a like 👍
thanks
Hey. I want to thank you for your Video. It helped me a lot. Go on. Stay cool. Many thanks from Germany 😎
ur so welcome
Many thanks for this excellent tips & tricks tutorial Mikey. Really informative. The 90-degree hood feature is fantastic - never knew till seeing this video. I have a 2006 w203 automatic saloon in the UK (made in South Africa) but the dashboard is completely different (with 2 large circular dials and 2 smaller circular dials with a very narrow text display area in the centre) and I tried to get the hidden diagnostics menu for ESP settings, oil level check, SW version etc for example but mine doesn't seem to have this option. The battery voltage checker works on mine though. I also have 2 small yellow LED lights on the bottom of my rear view mirror which I never noticed before.
I'm so glad it was helpful my dear friend
I have just bought a c180 last 3 months and ur video very helpful. Tq Q so much mate
Most welcome

My pleasure!
Thank you for such informative and Great video..

Great video mate - i just purchased one from an auction with no books at all..... -your instructional was very helpful thank you !
good stuff mate ... cool cars man ... how's the engine and all?...year model?
@@MIKEYZVLOGZ 2004 Kompressor Classic W203 -just the base model hasn’t even got a sunroof damn it lol - it’s missing a few pieces, took a gamble - it put everyone else off by the looks of things 1k buy runs fine. My first Merc. (usually BMW's & GMH).
Awesome vid man! Very factual and helpful

Yeah got the same car in wagon 4matic Im older generation I thank you for your tutorial like a college semester to operate my car lol Wow But you gave me some knowledge
glad to hear it
thank you
Have been looking for a video giving this type of information and this one has exceeded my expectations I wanted to know what all the buttons are for any little tips tricks hidden features, great video if bring any chance you happen to figure out anything out more in the future I would hope and that you would make a new one
yes certainly
5:40 if you roll down all the windows and sunroof this way, you can also go inside the car and hold down the RECIRC button on the climate control to close them all.
Although I am planning on moving up chassis or at least enter the AMG, I still daily my w203. This is a great video for anyone the needs know how this car works. It was a nightmare trying to figure out certain features and how things worked around the radio
oh you daily it do you.... Hilarious
Thanks!
hello mikeyz, thanks for the useful tips, i was wondering what is the exact model of your AMG alloy wheels ? thanks
ok so they arent original amg wheels they are aftermarket wheels .. ill find a similar set and send u a link
Thanks from Guadeloupe
You're welcome
Very good explanation thank you
very welcome
Very good information and helpful thank you 👍
cheers matey
Very good video might very well presented you know what you’re talking about Eddie UK living in Italy
🔥
Did you ever figure out engineering mode does?
By the way you should work for a Mercedes-Benz dealership. You are very knowledgeable about the c203 line and I assume the same about the other lines of MB. And you have some natural charisma too 😀
aww thanks for saying that... i guess it comes out in my passion for wanting to share what i love with everyone... i really hoped that it shows and comes out through my videos ... i really just want to share my passion with everyone in hopes to help educate and help ppl save $$
@@MIKEYZVLOGZ Keep on keepin on. I think you oversaw my question though lol. Did you ever figure out what the engineering mode does?
@@TheFuckingShitLoL lol sorry no not yet
. my bad i did see it i just forgornto incorpprate it .. engineering mode ill do some research and get back to ya
@@TheFuckingShitLoL ok so i found this
Push "0" and "EC/REST" button simultaneously until display changes (approx. 5 seconds)
I've only included the values that may be of interest to owners
00: Interior temp sensor
01: Interior temp sensor
02: Ambient temp sensor
05: Evaporator temp. sensor
06: Engine coolant temp.
07: refrigerant pressure
08: refrigerant temp.
16: carbon monoxide value
17: nitrogen oxide value
18: dewpoint temp.
21: engine RPM
22: vehicle speed
24: battery voltage (very handy)
basically u scroll through and its basically diagnostic for your climatronic control
it shows u these readings
and u can adjust accordingly
@@MIKEYZVLOGZ Engineering mode let's you heat or ventilate the interior of the car for up to 30 minutes when the engine is switched off
Czegoś nowego się dowiedziałem 👌
Thanks for your video..
ur welcome
The vest video so far. Thanks !!
I really appreciate it!!
Love it
so welcome.
@@MIKEYZVLOGZ
Only thing you forgot was to how to set up the cellphone with the car system.
Other than that it was very helpful.
Thanks for the video.
@@figgiefigueroa7372 yeah cuz I don't have the phone thing anymore cuz my car only had the old analog phone that was connected to the dash and I cut the cable and removed it completely .. the later models have the phone connection .. hence why I installed a aftermarket unit so I could sync my phone a d use Bluetooth to connect the phone as well
@@MIKEYZVLOGZ
Oh, ok I'm sorry friend. You did great!
I got a 2004 c230 kompressor sport and it got 230,000 miles and is a monster in the road. I love my 🚗 🚘 car.
Right now I'm doing a list of the replacement parts that I want. Still is cheaper than buying a new car.😃
But mines does have the phone feature on it. And I'm trying to learn how to install the phone so I do hands free while I drive.
That car is the best Mercedes benz has offered mines is a 4 cylinder. Cheap on gas.
That was my dream car, and now that I have .
I'm going to do what ever it takes to keep it original. It does 120 mph in seconds.
@@figgiefigueroa7372 good on ya
. ye this was my first dream mercedes loved the shaped ..always have ..then I fell in love with next model w204 and now have that too ... next might be a e class well see
wow you are great thanks so much
Glad it helped
G'day mate! Thanks for this, ive had my 2002 C220CDI elegance auto for a year and didnt know most of these( you need a manual to tell you how to read the manual on my merc!)..im going to try and understand how to use the cruise control ...ive tried while driving and no joy ill watch the vid again and take notes!👍
oh ok well honestly it's pretty straight forward.. so u reach your intended speed and then u push up on the stalk that will set the speed pulling towards you will cancel and pushing down will reduce speed pushing it in towards the right will turn on the limiter so u can set a limit as to ne er exceeding a speed ...
@@MIKEYZVLOGZ cheers buddy ill give it a go tomorrow! Also the passenger side wiper packed up which turned out to be the bearings on the wiper arm, ive bought a mercedes wiper arm bearing repair kit so we'll see how that goes too! One thing after another with 20+ year old cars but its a great car👍
@@shaunmcclory8117 indeed
Underneath the little coin holder in the center, there is the emergency shift-lock-override for the automatic shifter. The coin holder can be removed to reach the override with a screwdriver or a similar tool.
yes correct good tip
Wat dous it ? Thank you . Or why you need to use it? Kind regards
@@nini7441 l got my keys stolen at a bar one night.l had to tow my car home,but with no key you can't put it in neutral, same if your battery goes dead,so I had to punch that that little button with a screwdriver to get the thing in neutral to tow it home
ohh cool....
Wonderful tips provided, thanks! I just bought one. Where did you get the head unit replacement in WA? I'm thinking of getting an android apple car play.
WA? i got it along time ago from a ib hifi in Melbourne
now they have a new version of it , u will need all the plug and play accessories like facia kit and iso harness with steering wheel controls
That's great, very handy
thanks
ur welcome buddy I'm glad I could help u with something
Nice caaw
