Common problems and easy repairs on a 2007 C280

The 2007 Mercedes-Benz C280 4Matic is moderately easy to maintain, but it might prove tedious to the less-experienced owner. For instance, the fog light can only be accessed from underneath the vehicle with tools and a panel removal necessary. The oil drain plug and petcock are also located behind a large panel underneath the vehicle, which is secured by multiple bolts. The air filter is located in the engine cover, but its torx bolts and bulky size makes it a bit tricky to remove.

However, there are many easier repairs on the 2007 Mercedes-Benz C280 4Matic. The remaining headlights are easily accessible by removing some wires and reaching behind the bulb housings. The oil filter is located right in the engine bay, beneath a smaller portion of the engine cover. The spare tire and components can be easily found in the trunk, and the jack kit is conveniently packed in a carrier.
