Ashtray and gear shifter cover

Dear Fixya team,

My Mercedes C230, 2002. Every time I try to fix something in this car I find myself in another problem. Now, the Ashtray does not open except after I push hard with my hand on the cover which stopped to go back to its location in the time I do not want to force it, trying to reach to it I moved the shifter cover which in its turn did not go back as it was, it moves the time I move the shifter. Is there any solution to this?

SOURCE: Release hood on 2003 c230 Mercedes

Pull the red lever under the drivers side dashboard-about where your left knee would be, sitting in the vehicle. The hood will pop up and a tongue will protrude through the front grille. Pull this tongue and at the same time, lift the hood.

SOURCE: mercedes/dead battery can't open trunk help

Just had the same problem.

The fact the key had not been used in many years the locking mechanism was basically stiff'

Applied copious amounts of wd40 kept turning the key back and forward while applying pressure and release to the boot lid did the trick

SOURCE: How to change air filters on 2007 Mercedes C230 Sport

I have '05, both should be similar:
1.Cabin air filter is located above battery on right side against firewall.
Release three latches, remove filter housing, slide old filter out (housing is flexible), insert new
one, reinstall housing.
2.Engine air filter is on the left side of the block (follow intake hose). Cover is retained with six screws
(six point star shape,I belive called Torox, bit/scredriver size 25). Loosen screws (don' t pull all the
way out of the cover) lift cover , and remove old filter. Insert new one, reinstall cover. DO NOT
OVERTORQUE SCREWS! Screw holes in plastic filter housing strip very easily.
Note: Intake hose is very flimsy, one on my car came apart and had to be replaced.

SOURCE: Open Hood warning, and wiper blades.

There is a switch on your hood latch. They get damaged sometimes when the hood opens and closes. look down on the latch and you will see the sensor with an electrical plug. There are two 10mm bolts holding the latch in. remove them and the sensor is in the latch.

How do you fix a mercedes benz s 500 gear shift that is stuck in park?

mbmaster is right, you should also check your brake lights. If they aren't working the shifter won't release. Could be a bad brake pedal switch or blown fuse. The shifters can be fixed when they brake. Tough do it yourself job, but there are outfits out there that you can ship your shifter to and they can fix it.

5 speed Manual Trans is difficult to get into reverse. Once in gear its fine. Seems like the shifter is not lining up.

your shifter may be going bad. you have to push down on the shifter handle to shift it into the reverse gear. unfortunatly things are'nt made like they used to be. the bottom part of you shifter is made partly of plastic. it has 4 plastic balls that rotate around a metal cage that hold those plastic balls into place. you can try this, where the plastic cover on shifter handle is[at the top of plastic cover] use wd40 lubricant with the long red straw inserted into the can. spray the wd40 down inside the cover while rotating shifter handle. not putting it into gear,just rotating it around. just spray a small amount of it. you don't want to drown it,just lube it a little. this will buy you some time to prepare for a replacement. hope this helps and thank you for choosing fixya.com

I have a 1999 C230 Mercedes Kompressor, automatic transmission. The gear selector can be moved from park down through reverse, neutral and to drive, but refuses to move to the left to 4th. I removed the...

Hello drtonyg... This is an electronic shifter controler on the C230...Almost every time they fail the shifter assy. needs replaced as a whole unit....There have been some techs that have tried to clean and repair the shifter assembly and reuse it but most attempts fail..You can disconnect the shift linkage from the shifter assembly underneath the vehicle and then see if your shifter moves all the way(this would eliminate any shifter assembly failures)
Good luck, i hope this helps...please rate me a fixya.

Ashtry

The shift cover can only be replaced, or you can try a little well placed tape on the broken clip to help hold it in. Common problem. But you will need that cover loose anyway to remove the ashtray. Pull the shift cover up around the shifter, taking care to take the connectors loose. Now use your fingers to reach under the front edge of the wood trim/or metal trim depending on package and pull up to take out from around shifter. Also, go ahead and pop the cupholder up. In the bottom of the compartment is a rubber cushion. You need a long hook or long pliers to grab that rubber and pull it up out ot the compartment. With that removed, grab the cupholder and pull up slightly until you feel it release. Then twist the whole assembly clockwise to remove. This will give you all the access you need to the ashtray compartment.
