problem #1

C230 Kompressor

Two different; dealers could not fix the problem. They simply swapped out the fuel pump and off I went. On the third time (going on fuel pump #4) I located the fuel pump under the rear seat and found that the wires leading to the connector had been pinched by the back seat frame. I took a hammer to the seat frame bottom and taped up the wire lead going to the fuel pump so that it would not short out.
