Mercedes C180 Air conditioner sensor problem?

Are you sure it won´t come on? It could be that you need to recharge the refrigerant gas in your car. If there is no gas it will only blow ambient air. I hope it helps

C-220 1996, fuel pump went

Those are both O2 sensor heater codes. Since the codes come back, that would indicate the shop misdiagnosed the problem by assuming you had bad sensors when the problem is somewhere in the O2 heater circuit. Take it back to the shop and have them rediagnose the circuit. The tank fill problem is most likely caused by a problem in the EVAP system. Read the post below to understand what that it and how it works. http://ricksfreeautorepairadvice.com/evaporative-emissions-system-primer/ Evaporative Emissions System Primer Ricks Free Auto Repair Advice Ricks...

Hello. I own Mercedes C180

When was last tune up? Plugs, wires, all fluids & filters? Especially fuel filter? I'd start there and run a good fuel system cleaner through it.

Srs light on

I had the same problem whit my car. In this case, the airbag doesen't work. The problem can be from the SRS sensor (locatet under the right sit), you have to see if the cables are in normal position or maybe just moved, or may be, someone has moved or dirty this sensor. Could be happened, also, if somehow you have pressed very hard with your knee on the seat. This sensor is very sensitive. Or, ask the dealer to reset the computer and it may be just a matter of reading the sensor.

How can Mercedes battery regain full power?

If you are sure that the cables are ok, replace the battery. When they lose charge in cold weather that is below freezing, they freeze. The ice ruins them internally.

What is it when the gas hand doesn't work?

Either a failed fuel level sensor or bad instrument cluster. More likely the instrument cluster. Do an internet search and you'll likely find someone that can fix it if you can get the cluster out.
