rationalmind: That old man doesn't bother to do any of this, besides who wan help am set time or his favorite radio stations? The CEL is welcome as long as it doesn't affect his fuel consumption (he's very conservative with this). |

Theconglomerate: KINGreign come and see o! Even an 04 slightly abused Corolla (that still runs, with or without AC) will fetch that amount in today's Nigeria easily. |

Theconglomerate: Same thing the white guys do. Run a car aground then trade it in. Only thing is theirs will still be road worthy, unlike ours that must have swam in mineral oils and multiple Oando ATF top-ups. AmuDimpka I pray one day you'll realize that Benz's are not all that, if I see you drive a Hilux or a Tacoma, not to talk of a Ridgeline or a Hardbody - I know to accord you your respect. All these flashy motor no dey pay bills. 2 Likes |

rationalmind: In my old man's car he has a persistent evap/fuel cap malfunction that throws a CEL and one other issue like that, man is completely oblivious to the warning. Life goes on! Going forward I've sworn in this life and the next not to spend money fixing any "convenience" feature that breaks on its own. |

AmuDimpka: Even on a Mercedes Benz the shaft won't last forever. My brother I've been there done that, changed a 4matic shaft for 180k (star) in November 2018, the Chinese clone was 120k. Talk less of toks that will cost almost a 100k. 1 Like |

Theconglomerate: Your Merc didn't cover itself in glory too. Abeg no set fire to dey rain biko, you're sure of recouping a fair amount of money if you decide to sell the ES350. That your Mercedes no be it person bin dey price 500k that year? On a further note, I've learnt the hard way not to fix every CEL, not to fix every clunky noise, to keep my windows wound down if the AC doesn't work - we no come dis life to repair motor with all the light change wer person dey gather from daily hustle. 3 Likes |

dannybrasky: Big bros abeg no do me dis kind strong thing. You know say pepper no gree rest since this Chinese virus start. 9icetoo: Baba I tire o. Like HeavenlyBang rightly pointed out, most persons on here drive rickety Japs at high speeds and expect stability and balance from worn-out suspension systems. The average German car doesn't tolerate abuse and is likely to be in better shape maintenance-wise than a comparable Jap. The Japs can just about soldier on until they can't, and then they go on some more. The threshold for abuse is very low for a German car and this is a blessing in disguise, because it will mostly likely be in better shape during any face-off on our God forsaken death traps called roads. 1 Like |

9icetoo: I have receipts for flooring an 09 Corolla. Didn't feel very light, just surprised RPM was at 6k for only 180 - it braked just fine and I used common sense to brake in and accelerate out of corners. Even my former w211 4matic at 180kph on unstable Nigerian roads will still dance. I just think it's a confidence thing. I drive at speeds of above 160km regularly on my charger and it corners more awfully than a Corolla at the same speed, so na common sense I dey use. 3 Likes |

Rule number 1 - if you're returning from a workshop, never drive your car like you stole it! Sorry, OP - hopefully auto.logic will tender an unreserved apology irrespective of who is at fault, and we can all move on from this unsavory episode. |

Carfreak966: Very wrong conclusion. Insurance companies have been paying, once saw a Hyundai at Gazzuzz's workshop, insurance paid for it. Same with a friend who had a comprehensive plan with MANSARD. P.s Just re-read your post, wtf is securing the "brake pad"? Nig*a you're a clown! 2 Likes |

banky3w: My brother, if you put 5,800-5,900 fuel in that Corolla forget it. You can roam around town for nothing less than 460 - 470 kms with the occasional idling with AC on. On the Charger 8,500-8,700 fuel will give you 340-350km city driving tops. And negligible idling, I no dey idle at all. Immediately I stop, I don off ignition. |

Praxtech: Since we are comparing apples to oranges (a w210 and w211 - two completely different vehicles apart from M112.xx (for V6) and 722.6xx.). I am referring to those gremlins present in a w210 that won't be on the Audi 80. After all most Audi 80 taxis I have seen are basically plug and play. The w210 isn't! |
Car Talk / Re: Mercedes Benz Thread by Eddee(m): 11:37am On May 05, 2020 |
Praxtech: That analogy doesn't hold water, an 80s Audi 80 or Datsun Laurel will be fun to work on compared to that 90s 210. Corolla is in Abuja, lockdown! |
