I just bought my 98 C280 and would like to learn all about the features and maintainance of my new baby. The factory manual is too tech and indescriptive for me. I reckognize that this may be the Baby Benz for beginners, but she certainly manages to make me feel like a million bucks every time I get to drive her. My goal is to do as much proper maintainance as I can by myself, but I am just a lover not knowing what he is up to. IE: I just had a oxygen sensor installed ($318) after the "check engine" light came on. This was on my way back from Miami to Santa Fe,NM, where I bought the car. Rumour has it that even a improper tightened gas cap could have caused the light to come on. My next problem is my rear left blinker, see above post, just works when it wants too. I have had 5 MB'S in the past, but this one is already dear to my heart after one week and I want to take good care off her. I appreciate any pointers.
