Has anyone here had any problems with the C230K having intermittant stalling issues? My car is doing this ALOT and is driving me nuts (dangerous too as loose power steering/power brakes while in the stall). Any others with this problem?
Thanks

Might be a lot of things and it will be difficult to diagnose. On my MB I never had a problem like that even thought I run my car on 87 octan. Your dealer will like have to change one by one several parts on your car.
- Water in gas (put some aditive in your gaz)
- Dirty injectors (put some aditive in your gaz)
- Dirty gas filter
- Fuel pression (you car stalls cold and warm).
- Ignition problems (if your car stalls when it is warm)
- Sparc plugs
I had a similar problem with my 1995 Dodge Stealth.
I was looking for the source during month.
Finally I discovered that my brand new sparc plugs didn't fit on my car.
This stalling problem is a well known problem. There should be some technical service bulletins about it. If the dealer is no help, let us know. I'll try to find more info in that case.
