Link has been revoked

Zino1011:
A friend need a Nigerian used c300 asap

Kingdemu:
What a tiring process. So if car is overheating one will have to park and follow this process to be able to even detect?

Felicity001:


Engine temperature please

Felicity001:
Seniors pls how do I know if my car temperature is normal/okay since there's no temperature gauge like the regular Japanese vehicles?

What I've starting my car in the morning was +27°C but sometimes this afternoon it rose up to 40°C and then came down to +34°C and has been there for some time now on the dashboard.

Is this the way to check, if yes, at what temperature do I have to be worried??

Felicity001:
Please all the ogas in the house kindly assist.

Bought this car direct tokunbo, W203 C200 kompressor M271 engine

On trying to gas up the AC system the technician discovered the air isn't blowing into the cabin, which is the air is not coming out from the vent especially through the centre and back vents. And even the one on top of the dashboard facing the windshield directly so he recommended an electrician.

Elerectrician said its the AC fan, possibly not blowing towards the right direction. After some troubleshooting, brought down the dashboard and the fan (blower) he said we have to get the one that blows to both directions.

Got another from ladipo, fixed it yet problem persists.

I was frustrated, after spending money and time... This job has taken 2 whole days yet no tangible result.

I asked him to couple everything and after that the steering wheel refused to turn. B4 that while he was coupling back the dashboard I'd noticed that the steering wheel nokkle below the steering neck doesn't push in and out again so the steering neck can't even easily do it's normal up and down adjustments. I complained to him he said he waz going to fix that later.

So right now, the steering neck can't adjust easily, that nokkle below it is stiff can't even go in let alone come out and the worst of it all the steering wheel doesn't turn.

So I'm confused and frustrated right now but I'm calm, this is first time to own and use a MB so no experience whatsoever.

So please anyone with experience or advice should kindly help.

Could thus be some sort of security or something, if it's some sort of security car wouldn't have start na.

NB: It was discovered car was converted in Europe by some professionals b4 car was brought into nigeria, I must confess they did a professional job leaving no trace unless by someone who has had an experience b4.

Pls tag anyone that can as well help especially with the vent issue

weyreypey:

What's the name again?

weyreypey:

What's the name again?

Felicity001:


You seems to know a lot about these cars. Are you a mechanic or something? If you are in Lagos pls let me come down tomorrow to your workshop.

Felicity001:


I already bought it but yet to register it and soon, probably this week.

This is what I've notice today as I just returned from the mechanic workshop not too long ago.

Car has been moving well but I noticed the stabilizer linkage needed a change... After leg check we replaced the two linkage and breakpads (both front). The mechanic boys didn't suspend the car well so the front was leveled towards the ground.

Started car after work done then I noticed vibration even while in idle, this vibration is normal especially when I'd to connect the batter terminal heads well as they're not well fasten. But this time the vibration wouldn't go off instead an engine check light came up.

Just this morning a malfunction information added to the one's I posted earlier on the dashboard with the caption "service exceeded 546days". Bla bla bla

Lastly, a break pad signal also came out after the change of the pads.

Please kindly assist.
My plan is to carryout the servicing tomorrow

Felicity001:


Oh yeah... Got it now... But what does he meant by the statement below.



I'll be using my C200 M271 2003 for Uber in Lagos. Should I be worried about anything?

I've a good maintenance culture off cource

Felicity001:


Tell me more about this balance shaft issue with the M271 engine is it a factory defect, can it be manage or its lack of human maintenance because I'll be doing approximately 800miles weekly with the car what should I be worried about and what should I do to minimize any major problem.

santakris:


I presently drive M111 planning to upgrade to M271. What is your advice concerning M271 engines in terms of reliability and ruggedness?

Felicity001:

Yeah 06/07 model of the C230 is V6.

Please any knowledge of what the C200 03/04 model engine is called?

Like the one in the picture

Also, I've find it very difficult to open the oil cap, any head up?

Felicity001:


I'll try to add up to what officialDJ has done up there.

1) Very good
2) it's a 1.8L, so very good
3) budget from 2m and above for automatic and clean title
4) full synthetic oil.

Good luck in your search for one.

weyreypey:

I recommend Autel AP200M

Trill2b:


I appreciate that it’s a great suv but I wanted to know if there are good benz specialists in Kano State.

Marlodah:

I want to buy fairly used, infact if anybody have anyone for sale should let me know. Even though I'm looking at the price of the fairly used if i should just save towards it and join money to buy toks

Carchoice:
what is wrong with you guys complaining about fuel and Benz? These two are not supposed to be in the same sentence.



If you are buying Benz, don’t think about fuel consumption. If you are thinking about fuel consumption, don’t think about Benz.

Marlodah:
