tsiriman:There's nothing like 4matic engine. That is a W203 C320 V6 Engine. 4matic simply means all wheel drive. ![]() 4 Likes |

Re: Mercedes Benz Thread by klint16: 10:45am On Aug 14, 2014 |
klint16: my c200 kompressor brings out black smoke, anyway not that much. Please what might be the problem? Also before I changed my oil I found out that the oil has short n I was hearing kokokokoko from the engine anytime I run on the street, it only happens any time I throttle the car on a low speed. I don't kn if it happens on high speed cos all I can hear is breeze, then I quickly changed the oil cos I was suspecting it was engine knocking sound but after changing oil, I still hear the sound.what can I do to stop it? It makes feel like changing the car n I love the car cos she has been serving me greatly.pls anyone with experience in the can help.thanks all in anticipation. Waiting for solns. Please house am still waiting for ur suggestions. My mechanic said its timing. D house just ignored my post. Abi nobody has same experience or I never pay my dues. |
Re: Mercedes Benz Thread by Nobody: 11:08am On Aug 14, 2014 |
klint16: Klimt what model is your Benz and the engine size? and is your check engine light on? What is your mechanic saying as well? What range of oil are you using? |
Re: Mercedes Benz Thread by klint16: 11:48am On Aug 14, 2014 |
cne010: Engine type is W203 c200 kompressor red top. check engine light is not on but I see some faults abt four like visit coolant shop,brake lining etc. My mechanic said the timing is not complete it's remaining one teeth. Some said its timing valve n some said that it's the metal sound. I use mobil HXP. Thnks for ur concern. |
Re: Mercedes Benz Thread by Eyop: 11:52am On Aug 14, 2014 |
@ Kilint16...first of all the Mobil XHP is NOT the recommended oil for your car. Since you indicated that there's no check engine light,i will still suggest you diagnose the car to know what exactly is wrong with it. Forget about the guess work by incompetent mechanic because they will do you more harm than good. 1 Like |
Re: Mercedes Benz Thread by Nobody: 12:03pm On Aug 14, 2014 |
klint16: You're using the wrong oil, Are you in Lagos? Sounds like a Timing chain issue. Seen some in the mbworld.org forum as well. I'm surprised you're not getting the Cam shaft sensor problem. 1 Like |

klint16: I also have a c200 kompressor. I remembered that I once had thick smoke coming from my exhaust one time. It was as a result of a bad air flowmeter and it stopped when I had it changed (some call it air mass). Have u recently changed ur flowmeter? Am no guru but that was my experience |
Re: Mercedes Benz Thread by Demdem(m): 5:18pm On Aug 15, 2014 |
klint16: My kompressor also have a red top. |
Re: Mercedes Benz Thread by klint16: 8:54pm On Aug 15, 2014 |
Demdem: I brought one today on the agreement that if it stops the smoke I ll pay but after changing it, it still remained same. Do I ve to run my engine with the one I brought today to clear the black smoke b4 it comes to normal? Anyways according to the seller, he gave me is a second hand use from America. Still wondering |

Mobil1 0W-40 is the recommended Engine Oil for Mercedes Benz. Its the oil that is put into the engine after production at the manufacturing plant.

klint16: I could remember that it was frustrating getting the right one for the car. Was looking for Borsch or so. Each supposedly new one brought ooze out black smoke and I immediately had it remove. It wasn't until when the sixth one was brought, no smoke and firing smooth that I was confident I had the right one. Please stick with the one that oozes no black smoke. How I wish I can further help u. 1 Like |
Re: Mercedes Benz Thread by klint16: 10:05am On Aug 16, 2014 |
Demdem: Thanks I ll look for some of them to try with. At least I ve known that, I won't just try one n conclude. I appreciate. |
Re: Mercedes Benz Thread by Demdem(m): 10:14am On Aug 16, 2014 |
klint16: U welkom, if u have the time kindly go through this thread from the beginning and I think starting from page 8 or so before taking any further step, someone also experienced this same scenario and solutions proffered. This thread is rich with info. For instance, just went back of recent and I realised that am using the wrong grade of oil for my car all these while. My car has been crying all these while and I never knew. Poor thing. |
Re: Mercedes Benz Thread by klint16: 10:17am On Aug 16, 2014 |
Demdem: I ll do just that right now. Thanks once more |

Good Morning MB family. Hope you all doing well. I joined the MB forum yesterday & I wana commend the members on here for the way this forum has been handled. It has been educative & informative. I also like the brotherhood spirit in here. I don't own a car bt some day I look forward to owning a MB (the W202 C230 Kompressor) I started reading post from Page 9 yesterday & finished @ page 52 this morning @10:33. I obseverd some folks are scared of the Kompressor trim. ![]() I also wana give a shout out to Oga @Hanson, @SmartChoice, @Eyop, @Gee2728 , @Trac, @Kuntash et al for their contribution to this forum. I'll like to connect with MBforum members who stay in Lagos Ekiti & Akure.cos I reside within this axis. Have a lovely weekend. |

[b][/b] Hello MB family. A idea just flashed thru my head about taking this thread to another level by having instant chats & reply. I'm thinking the Admin of this thread can start of a BBM channel dedicated to MB fans in Nigeria. That will give instant messages & reply a boost. *Just saying* |
Re: Mercedes Benz Thread by pafestula(m): 2:20pm On Aug 16, 2014 |
shoppyanno: [b][/b] You spoke sense. |
Re: Mercedes Benz Thread by klint16: 9:58pm On Aug 16, 2014 |
shoppyanno: [b][/b] I don't use Bbm but it's a grt idea. In case the person is stranded, he or she can get quick soln(s). Nice one |
Re: Mercedes Benz Thread by shoppyanno(m): 10:08pm On Aug 16, 2014 |
@Klint Its good to know you see some sense in having a BBM channel for this Forum & Mercedes Benz users & fans in Nigera There a lot of Mercedes Benz Channels on BBM but I haven't seen a serious one for Nigeria Benz fans in UK, US, SA, Canada have BBM channels. I think this Forum should take this Benz family to the next level especially with the way things are been run here. Instant Messaging will definitely had more spice to this Forum |
Re: Mercedes Benz Thread by shoppyanno(m): 10:34pm On Aug 16, 2014 |
These are some Benz Channels. Indonesia has the highest number of BBM channel so far. (My opinion) Seems Indonesians a're Benz freaks.
