It's too bad it had to end like this, but it could have been worse. I'm sorry you had to make this hard decision man; it's too bad the car had this problem. I followed your rebirth of a C36 AMG thread and thought it would end well.
I hope you thought this out.
What do you think you will buy next?

GLWS my friend!
Damn, this is tragic. 2 rare w202 AMG's on this board lost in one week. Son of a bitch... Talk about shitty luck.
They say things happen in 3's, so all you other AMG owners keep your eyes peeled.

I absolutly love this car. im just past my skill level and it seems to be getting worse. Im proud of myself for doing the HG and everything else myself, just sad the car didn't appreciate it.

anf, Bosch ECU's can be tested & repaired. There's companies that have being doing it for years in Europe, so I presume you could get the same done in the States.
JJJ.
Yeah I did a bit of research on it. Not sure if its worth it for me... Maybe someone else.

so far I've had about 10 calls from craigslist about this car. Some more than 200 miles away. Didn't realize there was such an interest for the C36. Everyone wants to know whats wrong with the car, lol. I'm holding onto it until The dealer lets me know the exact problem, then I'll decide to let it go or not.

Did you take it to Benzel Busch or Prestige? The dealer should figure it out, but I'm surprised they have had the car for this long.Originally Posted by anf6789

Its taking a while because a friend knows some people in service and they are looking at it on the side... So I don't pay stealership prices.

Honestly, I would just have the Dealership figure it out. It has been giving you a headache for some time now.
Its a C36 and 16 years old. Give it the tlc it needs and you wont regret it.
Dealerships and certified garages have the Star diagnostics software and such. They can figure it out quick. Whenever I blew out some part in my car and I couldn't figure it out, I would take it to some certified garage with the Star diagnostics and they would plug it in and have the answer in an hour or so (depending on the problem[s]).
Good thing you have your friends working there.

Oh it is at the dealership and they are figuring it out... And I am paying them for it lol... It's sitting in the mb parking lot haha. I guess I worded my post wrong.. It's there and it's getting diagnosed..
Oh and the Indy I took it to a while ago with "STAR" told me it was the wiring harness.. Hence why I took it to the dealership this time.

LOL you guys think the SDS spits out an answer 'within an hour'
SDS will give you faults but you still have to figure out what's causing them. And on something as old as our piles of shit, there's no test plan with HHT, later models it went to Xentry and that has solid test plans for common issues...
Anyone can buy an SDS nowadays
