A 10-year-old Mercedes-Benz C200 is not worth buying. First, it's a low-end model, and second, it's too old—both in terms of functionality and comfort, it can't keep up. Here are the details about the Mercedes-Benz C200: Powertrain: All models are equipped with a 1.5-liter inline 4-cylinder turbocharged engine, paired with a 9-speed automatic transmission. Maximum power is 115 KW, maximum horsepower is 156 PS, and maximum torque is 250 N·m. The maximum power is achieved at 5700 rpm, and maximum torque is available between 1500-4000 rpm. All models use direct fuel injection and meet the China 6B emission standard. The drivetrain is rear-wheel drive. Suspension: The front suspension is a multi-link independent suspension, and the rear suspension is also a multi-link independent suspension. Safety features: In addition to basic features like ABS and driver airbags, all models come standard with ESP, front side airbags, side curtain airbags, knee airbags, and tire pressure monitoring.

What are the reasons for a vehicle pulling to one side while driving?

Reasons for a vehicle pulling to one side while driving: 1. Uneven road conditions - ordinary flat roads are designed with a higher center and lower sides; 2. Inconsistent tire pressure - unbalanced tire pressure on both sides; 3. Uneven tire wear - vehicle tires should be rotated regularly as drive wheels wear faster than others, and inconsistent tread wear on both sides can cause pulling; 4. Damage to chassis suspension components such as bent steering knuckle arms, deformed shock absorbers, or loose lower control arm ball joints; 5. Excessive mileage causing changes in wheel alignment parameters due to poor road conditions; 6. Unqualified repair parameters after accidents, including inconsistent wheelbase lengths on both sides or improper correction that doesn't meet technical requirements.

What Causes Steering Wheel Vibration While Driving a Sedan?

Reasons for steering wheel vibration while driving a sedan: 1. Collision causing deformation of the steering tie rod and steering cross rod, wear and looseness of various ball joints, or irregular tire wear, leading to an increase or decrease in toe-in; 2. Loss or deformation of the original wheel dynamic balance lead blocks, causing the front of the car to wobble and the steering wheel to vibrate at high speeds; 3. Looseness of the transverse thrust rod ball joint or loose bracket; 4. Looseness of the wheel hub bearings and severe wear of the left and right steering knuckle ball joints, resulting in inaccurate front wheel alignment; 5. Damage or oil leakage of the steering shock absorber, or deformation of the front suspension spring. During the repair process, various connection parts of the vehicle's steering system are usually carefully inspected according to different conditions, such as the steering wheel play, toe-in, front wheel alignment, wheel dynamic balance, suspension springs, and steering shock absorber. The issues are identified and adjusted, repaired, or replaced with new parts to restore the vehicle's original stability and ensure driving safety.

What to Do When a Car Has a Tire Blowout on the Highway?

Methods for handling a tire blowout on the highway: Keep both hands firmly on the steering wheel to control the vehicle's direction. Do not brake suddenly, as this can cause the car to lose control. Instead, gently and intermittently apply the brakes to slow the vehicle down until it comes to a stop on its own. A front tire blowout can easily lead to a rollover if not handled carefully, so turn the steering wheel in the opposite direction of the blown-out front tire. A rear tire blowout is less dangerous. The driver only needs to hold the steering wheel steady and intermittently press the brake pedal to shift the car's center of gravity forward, transferring the load to the intact front tires and reducing the pressure on the blown-out rear tire.

What are the symptoms of a faulty motorcycle charcoal canister?

The symptoms of a faulty charcoal canister are as follows: 1. Gasoline smell inside the car or around the vehicle (charcoal canister damage): If the vehicle's charcoal canister is damaged, the adsorbed fuel vapors inside the canister will directly escape into the air, causing a strong gasoline smell inside the car or around the vehicle. 2. Fluctuating idle speed (charcoal canister blockage): If the air inlet or filter screen of the charcoal canister is blocked, the adsorbed fuel vapors inside the canister will have difficulty being drawn into the cylinder by the intake manifold vacuum, resulting in fluctuating engine idle speed.

What Causes Uneven Left and Right Volume in Car Audio?

Uneven left and right volume in car audio may be caused by a damaged equalizer or dirt inside the audio system. Below are detailed explanations of the reasons for uneven left and right volume in car audio: 1. Equalizer: The center frequency of the bass range can be adjusted within the range of 60HZ-250HZ. At the appropriate frequency, the sound is relaxed and deep. The center frequency of the midrange can be adjusted within the range of 1KHZ-4KHZ, creating a sense of presence. The center frequency of the treble range is adjusted within the range of 6KHZ-15KHZ, resulting in a more delicate sound. 2. Dirt inside the audio system: It is recommended to seek professional cleaning services.

How to Calculate the Fuel Consumption of Car Air Conditioning?

To calculate the fuel consumption of car air conditioning, first, drive 100 kilometers without turning on the air conditioning and calculate the fuel consumption. Then, drive 100 kilometers on the same road with the air conditioning turned on, and calculate the fuel consumption per 100 kilometers. The following is a specific introduction to car air conditioning: 1. Function: Car air conditioning can both cool and heat. Car air conditioning requires regular addition of refrigerant. When the car air conditioning is heating, the high-temperature coolant in the engine will flow through the heater core, and the air blown by the blower will also pass through the heater core. 2. Maintenance: Regular cleaning and disinfection are required.
