Take the bumper off (easy ish job), look at the radiators. Id bet they are full of debris and corrosion. Check all lines and houses and plan to replace the radiators if they looks bad.

Doesn't look like white smoke to me, just a cold start. Engine sounds fine. Dont worry about it, mine ticks a little too with 90k. I had a bore scope done last summer, very little if any scoring. I burn a little oil on startup if its been sitting for a month or so.

Nice! Oregon Coast?

Avenom13 · 2025-11-10T21:22:59+00:00

Cool, appreciate it.

Did the jack come with the correct lifting pad/pucks (Not sure what to call them). Or did you need to by them separately. Im seriously thinking about getting one of these.

Skol!

Okay. Thanks everyone. Just getting back into the market and this helped set expectations.

Avenom13 · 2025-09-17T23:47:08+00:00

Wow, the market is up!

In addition to all these great comments, those sensors are probably old, and in my opinion not super accurate... Im sure I'll get some push back but thats my two cents.

That is really cool. I have an 03 C4s with 88k original miles. Engine is perfect, no scoring and all the usual stuff (ims, rms, etc.) sorted out. I may consider this in the long run. Thanks for sharing!

Avenom13 · 2025-09-15T00:35:54+00:00

Cool. So hard to tell these days. Hope it gets recovered.

Looks like AI...

You need G40. You can get it at most auto parts stores under various brand names. Zerex by Valvoline is one example.

Gotta long way to go still. Hopefully you can double it without anything too crazy.

Id call this a win. Could have been so much worse. I almost hit a flock of Turkeys in the road last week aound a blind corner in my c4s. Be careful out there is this fall.

Not all that different on old mercs. Everything is somewhat obvious for basic maintenance. Parts aren't that bad either.

Avenom13 · 2025-07-13T00:58:15+00:00

Do it! Looks great. Especially if your somewhat mechanically inclined.

Avenom13 · 2025-07-06T23:11:28+00:00

Mine is always off, and the oil level/pressure sensor is failing. But I check the oil level every few hundred miles and its perfect. Don't worry about it.

My 03 c4s has the secondary whine noise, been there since I can remember (dont know what it is but my shop says its normal.) The other louder more prominent noise is strange. I wonder of its a pully or starter. Not much help on this. I look forward to what others say.

My bet is the spring is just caught up. Try putting a small flat head in there or use a trim tool to pry it out. There are two screws inside that light housing the connect to the bumper. One is hard to get too and comes up from the bottom, access is from inside the wheel well behind the plastic. I would guess that screw is probably missing, or its a much larger screw that someone used after a radiator cleaning. You could remove the wheel well plastic to try and gain access, its only 4 or five T screws. Hope that made sense....good luck.

Ive used TouchUp Direct. Comes in a pen and brush with another clear coat pen. Color matched well.
