SAVEDBABA: It will do neither. Which is why it's a waste of money. Like a human operation, the more often a car is in the hands of a mechanic, the greater the chances are that something could go wrong. 2 Likes 1 Share |

On my Audi A4 and BMW 740iL the AC was never off. Over 100 vehicles at least and I've never changed an engine due to damage. |

tunde1200:Yeap its always written in d manuals of brand new cars to service d ac and clean up the gas engine (usually beside d radiator) once in 2 months or so but many nigerians don't know that. Many don't even knw they shd allow for vent even while d ac is on. There's a button there called the vent button. It helps improves the oxygen quality within d car 1 Like 1 Share |

keezy125: Have you reworked the AC system? If yes, chances are high that it does not meet the factory specs of the car. If this is the case then there will be side effects overtime. You would probably notice the burden on the engine each time you turn it on. You may also notice that each time you rev, you hear it in the compressor output If it is the factory installed AC unit that you still have, then you have absolutely no worries except your fuel consumption |

IkpuMmadu: Ohh, you can be rest assured she gets real good loving. It's actually a S65 AMG 2007, and she's all the woman I'll ever need. Set me back some good money, but is she worth it? Every single dime! She's given me far more value cash-wise than any beautiful woman would do (mentioned that in some other thread I think). If you should be financially buoyant anyday to get one, please do as it's a nice investment that spans beyond luxury, if you know what you're doing in Nigeria, a S65 AMG (even that of 2006 which was the beginning of the 65 AMG marquee with respect to the S class) can make a whole lot of difference between getting that contract or losing it. How? That's a story for another day or better yet see my post on a certain thread in this section ( sorry, forgotten the title of the thread). |

4C2215131: Hmmmm...now i am getting all turned up and my erection for her is getting uncontrolable...AMG in S class, that is a double blessing...how is the handling and tirque...I mean how does she corners on lets say 140KM/H I have always love benz....they make good faithful girlfriend but this your AMG will be a wife material I must say... is she a thirsty lady...doest she drink too much, does she nags a lot, I mean troubles and problems.I know that most bez are decent ladies...even if you rough handles them, they dont develop k legs like all these cheap Japanese around. How is her connering...I pray baba God bless my Hutsle...I am on it. Does she use shocks or balloon...I hate balloons |
Re: Does Constant Use Of AC Have Any Effect On The Engine by 4C2215131: 2:11pm On Feb 22, 2016 |
IkpuMmadu: Hahahaha, quite the funny one. She's all the positives you mentioned and more. Her guzzling habit is OK by me and no, she doesn't nag one bit. Quite a lovely, sincere, faithful and obedient woman (I do my part to keep her happy, so unlike corporeal ladies thaybate never satisfied no matter how you get to make them happy she appreciates my efforts). Keep up the hustling in a legal manner, let's do our best to change the country. Nothing is worth wealth acquired via means that are are informed by ulterior means and inimical to the positive and sustained growth of others and the society at large. |

4C2215131: Nice one ..this lady I will go for her...making good love to AMG is one thing a man that knows his onions will ever appreciates Ones she doesn't go on k legs which I know benz doesn't and once she doesn't sag easily which I know benz doesn't ...I think I will propose to her soon ..oh I am turned on...these cheap Japanese ladies can be funny ...just like Honda.. She can disgrace you in public with her k legs..there by washing her undies in public But Benz will always be faithful even when you have flirted with the idea of dumbing her...once she doesn't drink like all these french ladies ...she is mine Oh you can make decent money legit and I am all for it Yell and tell me about the contract thing bro 1 Like |

chidooh1:. Honestly I prefer c180 cos maintenance though its expensive to maintain but once u use original spare parts and good mechanic workman u will enjoy it. u won't be visiting mechanics so frequent. and d engine is very cheap but last long enough as far as you ve good maintenance culture. and be very careful on electrical works always use computer to dictate d fault instead of trial and error. it might cost u a little dime but it saves you a lot of stress and embarrassment. thnks 2 Likes |

Re: Does Constant Use Of AC Have Any Effect On The Engine by mastro: 8:29am On Feb 25, 2016 |
keezy125: Long story short: None Longer story: increased wear and tear is negligible, of course running your A/C means another item that needs servicing but that applies to all extras in a car, even remote locking adds complexity and another potential point of failure. Off topic Story: In this current Naija heat those who prefer to sweat then good luck to them, personally I prefer air cooled luxury. in my house car and office. |
Re: Does Constant Use Of AC Have Any Effect On The Engine by IkpuMmadu: 8:54am On Feb 25, 2016 |
ernecy: I don't know the rate now ...the c180 is the compressor type not the 4matic...that one that has a back like VBoot ..it has C180 and C200 Bros ..that car makes sense die...if you drive the automatic you will throw away your Japanese Warning ...don't put on your AC on a freeway ...you will not know when you hit 200 km/h ...the car is so stable and rugged that you will not feel it on high speed unlike these cheap Japanese cars that when you hit 120 km the car will be as light as paper and shakes like a child with siezure Funny enough the car doesn't consume fuel. I have a friend that has been driving that C180 for years ..he buys if he is done he sell it and buy another one.he said he can't drive any other car Funny enough it doesn't consume fuel and haven't seen it overheat ..in short the engine is built to last ...the parts ain't that expensive ...the fuel pump is like 8k ..the rear light is like 2k5 the front light is like 3k ...the leather interior is superb.. The AC is killer The downside ...don't buy anyhow fuel...premium fuel or always use fuel treatment.. Make sure a qualified mechanic services the car and good electrician touch the electric component ...it's a highly modern car It's a good ride that you can massage a woman in but don't Bleep in it oooo I was on 3rd mainland bridge the other day..I way playing Micheal Jackson...oh the speakers so bad ...Bosch. No car overtook me .I wasn't speeding much but wound up..when I realised I was on 180km mehnnnn I got o slow ..I did that bridge in 10 mins what's happened do in 25 mins There are two cars in the world Benz and others As of parts ...go and sleep bro..parts are everywhere .... 1 Like 1 Share |

IkpuMmadu:bros, thanks; I was saving to buy a corolla when I saw this thread. I have been wondering why people are going for c180 with all the negative myth about Benz fuel consumption. How much can I get it here in Naija and cotonou .you don make me fall in love with this car. Thanks |
