Is the Mercedes-Benz AMG C43 known for any particular faults?

I am considering buying a 2000 Mercedes-Benz AMG C43 saloon. Can you tell me of any problems with these cars apart from the slightly suspect gearboxes? Do they have ECU problems like the C200s?

I don't have anything specific on the C43. Just this general W202 stuff: www.honestjohn.co.uk/carbycar/mercedes-benz/c-clas...d HJ
