Hi there:

Just wondering does the current model C-Class, W203, have the noise reflector panel installed as standard? I am refering the big plastic panel under the car which reflect road noise to reduce noise getting into the cabin. I know S-Class has it but does C has the same? Is it an option, for Classic?

my 95 W202 has the lig plastic "pan" installed. im pretty sure it would have been standard. im not the origional owner, so cant say for sure.

note: this pan must be dropped to access the oil drain plug.

this makes a good case for topsiding oil at change, but reduces the visual inspection factor.

Sure! Belly pans are standard equipment on the W201, W202. and W203. I've owned all three, BTW. If yours is missing it's because some lazy mechanic didn't feel like replacing it. They don't fall off.

The 203 car has two. Only the rear one needs to come down for draining the oil. In spite of that, it is always a good practice to pull them both down and look around for leaks, things falling off, etc.

It only takes a few seconds to pull them down and then a few more seconds to put them back in place.

Good luck,
Change oil hot and change oil often,
