My younger brother placed a deposit with a dealership on a 2002 C240 with 57,000. on it. The dealer was not a MBNZ dealer so he took it to a local MBNZ dealer and had them check it out. They said that the B service had not been done and was over by 4300 miles. I looked at what was covered by this service and it was not anything earth shattering. The three things that stand out are as follows.
1. The thrust bushings are cracked and leaking , never been changed. Which bushings are they talking about ?. The only ones I can think of are the just inboard of the rear dics.
2. The footwell flapper ( stepper ) motors are stiff or blocked. How much for parts and is it an easy job.
3.I am not familiar with these cars at all. Is there anything else I should be concerned with a known issue with these cars ?.
Thanks for any input.
Alan
