This is what I don't understand. We sell this sensor for $200. Yet people will say we are expensive .

Nah, their problem. I just might get it from you if single local sourcing fails to come through

Bought 12 Bosch spark plugs from pelican, they weren't cheap. Got a couple things off them ranging from fuel pumps to fuel filters, even an expansion valve for my AC. OEM parts are not cheap, anybody claiming otherwise is being economical with the truth.

The most annoying thing with this speed sensor issue is that I can't use cruise control cry cry - it's refused to work for a week now.

Hello weyreypey I need a bit of help, Mercedes Benz w211 E320 4matic ABS Wheel speed sensor (front left or right).

Woke up last week to ABS, ESP, malfunctions on the dash. Scanned, and got "front left wheel sensor implausible value". Car hesitates a bit (not very noticeable but I feel the transmission is struggling... Information no too complete for am to take make him mind up as to when to shift or change gears grin grin), during kickdowns or abrupt braking.

Got some knockoff TIBAO speed sensor, fixed the issue/car automatically cleared the malfunction codes for 3 hours or so and came back in full. Drove back to the spare parts shop and changed it for a star clone - worked for a couple of days/again car automatically detects new speed sensor clears malfunction codes and brought them up again. Can't afford to order an original STAR fron Pelican now (sh*t is damn expensive and shipping will probably take at least 7-10 working days).

Can you help me place a call to your dealer for a toks STAR, HELLA, BOSCH unit for a 4matic? Not tibao, autokaf or any other clone that may lead to limp mode.

Also, what year of C320 is best?
I hear C320 from 2005 upwards...
Also, what are the most common issues with these two?

Had a similar episode. Same corolla. This time the 2011 model. Guy had a death wish. From ph to warri, this guy refused to budge. Even at speeds exceeding 170. I'd see him as soon as I slow down at any check point. He took bends like he was insane. Couldn't keep up with him on the bends after he passed. Those corollas are nimble and fast. Damn.
On a straight line, I kept him in check but not at the bends
.
I let him be though as I have family waiting back home. Not worth the hassle. smiley

I never race a Corolla. The owners think what they have under the hood is a v12, they will never back down from a fight race - and besides I can't afford to waste fuel unnecessarily, I can literally feel my guage dropping rapidly per kickdown.

Learnt my lesson the hard way yesterday, going forward I'll avoid any Toyota that looks and sounds healthy irrespective of engine size or model. I'll Bully the unfit ones grin grin

Even with our V8 S550 - I'm not sure I fancy my head to head chances, unless the infiniti's driver is a rookie. (before the behemoth M273 wakes after a furious kickdown to push that heavy chassis, the sleeker G35 go don dey create gap.

Never really taken the M35 on a journey (too low to the ground, worse than my Merc in this regard), but my neighbour swears people are always afraid to disrespect the sleeper whenever he's on a roll (who won't fear 4 exhausts) grin

Toyotas are very very quick
But they're not fast on the long run
Mercedes sedans are built for luxury and they have sluggish transmissions with rev limiter
Except for the Amg variants
They're also heavy
Toyotas are very light
They're not built for speed that's why a Corolla 2003-2007 has 180 on the speedo
But they're very quick cos of weight and wonderful engines.
On a long stretch, your 320 will leave Camry and Corolla far behind that's speed (fast)
On bad roads and places where you have to slow down
Toyota go leave you for back
That's agility and quickness
I hope you get my point

This I know very well. On clear roads (how many dey dis our side sef), there's little that can trouble any mechanical sound Merc except another Bimmer. But once you slow down in front of a pothole to save a few bucks (low profile tyres, undercarriage issues and suspension problems), you'll be playing catch up with that Corolla/Rio you left way back.

Thanks to you and Eddee boss for reaching out yesterday. Appreciate you brothers.

And to everyone who has shown concern, and for the words of advice and contributions, I am most grateful.

I hope everyone would learn one or two things from my story.

Lol, no way a C300 is faster than a 2GR Camry .

Ogbeni that sound cannot be the sound of a stock Camry
Even the XSE 2018 with 300 horses doesn't sound like this

Nah, I should have seen this before going head to head with a face lifted 7th gen Hilux. Just getting into Calabar now (skipped town for an inauguration in Ugep with my old man), pretty sure that Hilux driver has taken a shower and had lunch by now.

Any momentary gains I made on open roads with a w221 S550 4matic between Ugep and Calabar, my nigga made up for it with the bad sections of the road. Infact he held his own pretty comfortably on open roads at 140-160km easily, could have taken pictures but old boy will not have that grin grin

The excuse could be made that my driving skills are shite, but what in God's name does Toyota put in their puny looking engines? I remember 2 toks 09/10 Corollas trailing I and kingreign last year from Lokoja to Uyo (he drove and I can testify he's driving skills are up there).

Yet we were neck and neck with those bad babies inside an E Class until one eventually had a flat tire. grin grin
