Did you know that the name “Mercedes” is actually Daimler’s daughter name and not Carl Benz as popularly touted! Mercedes is a Spanish feminine given name, derived from María de las Mercedes ("Our Lady of Mercy" or "Mary of Mercies"), which is one of the Roman Catholic titles of the Virgin Mary. The word "Mercedes" is of Latin origin meaning "mercies" (the plural of mercy) from the Latin word merced-, merces, meaning "wages, reward", So if you own a benz, you actually have “Mercy Speaking for You” 1 Like

One of my customer just notified me that Liqui Moly 5w40 Molygen he got from me in June has knocked his W203 C230engine. I am in shock but there are lessons to learn from this which is why i decided to share here. Once you tell me you have been using 20w50 for more than 6 months i dont sell Liqui Moly to you because i know it will smoke and might damage the engine.But this customer said he has been using Mobil 1 5w30..the imported one. So i said okay no issues same synthethic blend(i was wrong) |

Midoda: How many miles has he covered in that time frame. That's between the oil change in June and when the engine knocked 1 Like |
| Re: Mercedes Benz Thread by Midoda: 3:18pm On Oct 06, 2022 |
Itsrm:Well he didn't say but he noticed light bluish smoke at start up which will clear after some time. He further said at inspection the oil was noticed to be light like water, no viscosity. I am presently using the 10w40 variant since June but in my case car had been on Liqui Moly since 2017( 5w30,5w40,10w40) |

midasemmalex:seen someone? |
| Re: Mercedes Benz Thread by Felicity001(m): 11:29pm On Oct 14, 2022 |
Midoda: This was the reason behind the knock not the change of oil per say. He probably took longer than expected b4 he had a change of oil. There is a time frame or window for oil change. The beauty of Mercedes Benz is that it indicates when oil level needs a top up and when viscosity is low which in other words needs an oil change. He probably did not pay attention to the warning signs as indicated in his instrument cluster, continued driving thereby knocking the engine on low viscosity. Simple. E get one period wey e tight for my side and I couldn't have a change of oil for about 6 months using the liquid Molly, bros "low viscosity" flashed on my dashboard ooh... That was the first time I saw such warning... Omo I use pikin school fees that very day oooh  Dem no dey tell person. Las Las the child is alright, I can't afford new engine now abeg.4 Likes |

My car engine is making a rattling/ sparking noise like ke ke ke ke when accelerating sometimes when climbing a hill or when you suddenly press the acceleration to increase speed . I have changed the plugs, what can be the issue. I use a C300 MB 2010 |
| Re: Mercedes Benz Thread by OfficialDJ: 4:12pm On Oct 17, 2022 |
Jamal64:if it isn't a misfire, then your propeller is a likely culprit... Scan and post codes. |
| Re: Mercedes Benz Thread by Jamal64: 7:58pm On Oct 17, 2022 |
OfficialDJ: Not misfire , I scanned with my scanner & no codes. Maybe I should get a bigger scanner? |
| Re: Mercedes Benz Thread by OfficialDJ: 8:44pm On Oct 17, 2022 |
Jamal64:is your check engine light on? You need a scanner that can read live data |
| Re: Mercedes Benz Thread by Gluck4cars: 11:19pm On Oct 18, 2022 |
Jamal64: If it was the spark sounds that made you change the plugs, then it's obviously your ignition-coils that are bad. If the spark sounds started after changing the plugs, then do further testing to ascertain which of the ignition coil/ wire harness are bad. |
