Fabbi, Even those LONG INTERVAL service car, the service indicator is not just based on distance, but how you drive ...

fibbi .. no worry ..  say you put ~ 15,000 km a yr ..  for W204 ..  you have oil service for your car once a year is more then enough ga la...

It is weird if your W202 only need service every 2 yr??  unless you put less then 10k/yr back then??

Or 6 cyc  now, and 4 cyc back then??


Put it this way, it is a BENZ .. even you can keep the engine in good shape ..  but will you keep the car for 20 year, and put 300,000 km on it?

Even you will keep the car for that long, and even the V6 engine can last that long, but those electronic on C class, for sure won't last that long anyway ..  say may be in 5-6 yr .. will start having electronic problem ..  and will start costing big money to fix ...  ( ~ $150/hr plus )

Unlike yours is the 6.2L ...  then it is a different story ..

Fibbi,

That is the way a BENZ is ..  to be fair, they are a bit better now, but those BENZ from late 90's to couple years ago ..  are not that great ..

So, even you keep changing oil or coolant 5 times more then BENZ suggests .. something else will break ...

I was debating E90 or W204 ... but then W204 seems a better deal (more features like blue tooth...), and more appealing look...so...
I do hope it is better than before la... I want to ...

Cross the finger ...   but on German car, just can't skip the service.

If you are not a "driver type" of person, then W204 is as good/better then E90.
