Follow rationalmind's advise, I drive an Is 250 occasionally. It's a fun car, the 350 is more fun!

Lol. Val is a good and passionate brand ambassador, don't drag him biko!

KINGreignn:

With 2.5-3m abi?

You for kuku tell am to carry guns go rob wharf.

Naija used Ml 350 for 2.5m go break down before e reach okada sef.

Steady fatal 4-way royal rumble!

Let's bet - Op will leave the better and more luxurious RX and the bland Rav 4 to go for an elevated camry wagon. Talmbout, 2.5 - 3m to buy "clean and well maintained naija used" venza.

E go be!!!

Which one is codedruns again? Let me come and be going

I did it early this morning. (Today 9th of April)

It depends on the method you used to top up or subscribe. What method did you use? Quickteller, direct transfer, mobile app or debit card? Refer to the attached screenshots for subscription methods and value dates.

Agbeni33:




I put my E account number with my name. Have not receive any notification from Stanbic management fund.

Though I put small money in other to test run online top up process. Am still waiting for email notification from them

When did you do this? I have used them as recent as Saturday to top up. It shouldn't take more than 1 business day if done on a working day. Worse case scenario, they will return the money to the account it originated from.

MrFinbarr:


Thanks Baba Eddee... I've been receiving quite a lot of compliments about the wheels. Got them in Lagos though.

You fit follow your plug talk? Ask am him rates for 20' 5X115?

Mazi Finbarr this is great. I especially love the last wheel set you bought. Currently looking for 19s or 20s. Quotes I have received from Lagos for even replica 5x115 wheels are on the high side and local man cannot can for that price.

I just explain what I do always and I've had no complaints since I have been doing. Thanks

No offense bro, I understand you perfectly. Just saying the official instructions from Stanbic insist that only e account number be in the narration. I use stanbic too, may move very soon if rates drop lower than yesterday's 5.6 something.

freeman67:


Do you use any mobile or internet banking app/ platform of any bank? If yes, just do a transfer to First Trustees/SIMMF account with no: 9202476223. Make sure you quote your own StanbicIBTC Money Market Account No and your name in the narration/transaction details space before sending.

They will credit you when they get the alert.

Just e account number in the narration no name.

What exactly do you need help for? You've deliberately refused to provide answers or more information. Besides, you knew that the car had no papers prior to purchase - you should have done the needful on the road instead of coming here to cry wolf!

Thanks for the exposë...if I start the SUV in the morning, it is a bit noisy the fan but after few seconds like 20seconds, you will hear something like switch then the sound comes down like a magic and it's noiseless... Then the RPM needle come down also below 10. It happens in few seconds then the temperature is around 80°C then while driving depending on the environmental condition it stays between 90° but in a hot day it is around 95°C but never 100°C

Also....as of the smoke , it doesn't for now just that when I start in the morning, I check the exhaust, I see water dripping from the tailpipe and steam( that thing that we see when boiling water ) these are the things that u have noticed also.... Is water dripping from pipe okay! My mech said it's okay but the movement is okay !

Thanks once again for the information! Also, what is your take on C Class 230 Or 320 ( is 4matic better than kompressor) madam is on my neck ! But I am thinking A class !

Thanks for the advice !

If you want further clarification on your observations, contact Oluwaseunla - he's very hands on and will gladly offer advice.

As for C Class, please go for 320. Coming from an ML you're used to fueling so no need to flog a dead horse. Avoid anything with a "Kompressor" or "4matic" affixed to it. A naturally aspirated engine is in general more reliable than forced induction engines, or engines that rely on a turbo or supercharger as the kompressor.

As for 4matic, the suspension components are way more expensive than the"normal" Merc parts.

Baba Lexusgs430 no worries abeg. Seen what i was looking for here. Cheers bro

Of what use is your 2.7, when investments go south.....

Big man how far, make we reason for dead thread abeg

AmuDimpka:


Thanks for this response bro ..I used to see my SUV tilt between 90°c - 95°c And I used to be thinking it's overheating!

Nah, normal operating temperature. You have the M112 engine if I'm not mistaken. Those engines don't die easily, there's a reason they are one of the cheapest and most durable Merc engines out there - My dad taught me a small hack, to change the coolant temperature sensor (water switch) during every oil change. It's dirt cheap (1k) and a very easy DIY. A new one will keep your temp around 88-92c. An aging one will always alternate between 90-95c.

If your SUV overheats believe me you will know, limp mode will happen once you lose compression due to a blown head gasket to avoid permanent damage. Telltale signs include but not limited to random misfires on every cold start, vehicle will have difficulty starting after being parked for more than 24 hours. White smoke from the exhaust pipe. Unusual bubbles in the coolant expansion tank. White milky oil. And soaked spark plugs.

my steering is getting stiffed and d steering oil is OK .it steers very well towards d drivers side but very hard towards d passengers side.

pls whats d solution.
thanks

There's a hack Gazzuzz posted sometime in the past, to help you check if it's the rack or pump. Find him or find the hack!

rozey247:


Thanks a lot eddee. I appreciate your contribution a lot and I think I will go with your suggestion. But please is it the noise that don't usually last forever or you mean replacing the components they will not last forever??

I meant the components, read the below resources. Mercedes Benz engines are designed to run very hot, the cooling system's thermostat in the engine begins to open at 88 to 92 degrees Celsius, 95 degrees should be normal operating temperature. But it's perfectly normal for your guage to read at 95-100 C. Now the import of this is your fan will compensate for this heat by working overtime. If the noise bothers you, consult one of the trusted hands here to offer offline support.

ibbabah:


I think there should be something that regulates the fan from high to low speed. [b] Like when I put my AC on, the fan will start but won’t be high immediately. So there are moment the noise increases and after a while it becomes silent. [/b]

Blower motor and or regulator, they don't last forever (pun intended)- I repeat he should leave that noise alone or contact Gaz's logistics services for a quote.

Good morning to all the benz expert in the house.
Please I need help and advice from the experience users and experts here concerning my C240 2003/2004 model.
The cooling fan is always running on high speed and making a loud sound whenever I on AC. If AC is off it runs silent and normal but the moment I on AC the fan will start running at a higher speed and keep on like that continuously and you can pick up the sound of the fan from some meters away and even in the cabin as you drive. And the AC is working perfect and chilling but the sound is making me not enjoy my AC in peace��
I was told is a common problem with that model and year but no one seems to know the solution among those I have come across.
Please any suggestion on how to go about solving this issue is welcome. God bless you all. �

Good morning bro, the blower motor making noise is nothing new to w211s and w203s, as for the fans they are indeed very loud. From your write-up, I am happy at least that your kazeem has not disconnected the "water switch" (coolant temperature sensor) from the coolant housing next to the thermostat, this is their first line of defense attack whenever anything fan related comes up, I will advise that you put that H/K Sound system to good use, or be prepared to change one of two things (the blower motor or the regulator). Those two things don't last forever, but as long as you can stomach the small inconvenience they'll soldier on. Don't let anyone fool you into parting with 30-35k for a fan, yours is working as designed.

A man needs such a woman to build legacies.

I only weep for men who have such women by their side and do not treat them like queens that they are.

Lets just say, aside cars, a woman of such calibre is my fetish ..

remember Cookie Lyon?

Yeah, she's strong willed and that's a very important trait. Great choice bro, but I don't think it ended well for Cookie, I think there was prison and somewhere along the line is it death? Details are a bit fuzzy now

I apologise for derailing. won't happen again

HeavenlyBang:


So you like woman, Oga Inception?

I think say na only me notice am sef. Upon all the women for Nairaland, inception Just decide say him gree die untop her matter. Baba that woman na one man mopol, I no get plans to ever wrong am either offline or online. Now wer time still dey - cease and desist from further pursuit.

One it's not. A FALLACY OF HASTY GENERALUZATION Bro...also you took the phrase from the literal meaning ...you didnt look at the figurative meaning and contextual meaning


Just like saying that Genevieve Nnaji doesn't get old !


It is a two way thing...some people would look at tbis expression from Literal meaning while some would look at it from figurative meaning


This statement doesn't mean that Genevieve doesn't get old because we all know that every thing gets old but it means that Genevieve aging process is graceful and slower !

Bro...I did literature in University ...

I believe that you understand me now

Just returned from a short ban, not in a hurry to stay off Nairaland. Besides you were very civil in your response, so we are good bro, I understand you perfectly.

KINGreignn:


@Eddee, please, do enlighten our dear friend about W211.

@uchman - My guy the vehicle is a head turner. Very mature and wickedly good looking unless you have deep pockets avoid buying old luxury vehicles as someone else suggested. The cost of ownership is very high, but if you carry cash by all means go for it. You only make mistakes once.

HeavenlyBang:


Budget circa 550k for everything.

Could be cheaper.
Cc: Eddee

It's not a 4matic, just checked the pictures. Even if he buys brand new parts, he'll have some change. Going with Aunty Radu's estimate. If he has ears he will listen to your advice and avoid that money pit. The engine and interior are just about the only reliable components in that Merc. Body kits and just about any other thing are very expensive.

And nobody will buy his airmatic suspension (balloon/bags) for 50k, dem no dey fear you.

KINGreignn:
Bro, so sorry about your ordeal.

Nu.rey, gaz.zuzz, Eddee alarm don blow Abeg come advice someone.
