New C Class Mercedes spare wheel tightening - 03-20-2008, 02:42 AM

Just a note to warn interested new owners of the W204 C Class Mercedes.
1. When stowing the spare wheel in the wheel well , be careful not to tighten the hold down circular plastic wheel too tightly or you will pull the mounting from the floor of the wheel well. It is easy to do as there is very little plastic holding it.

2. When testing the fuel filler cap emergency unlocking mechanism from the RHS of the boot , do not pull excessively as the one mm plastic eye will break & you will be left with the pull tie in your hand!!
