Hey guys,

I'm getting this knocking sound from my 2013 GS350
https://www.youtube.com/shorts/MN194imQKdg

The mechanic said we'll have to replace the engine, I want a second opinion, last time the car was serviced was 3 months there was no check engine or oil pressure light.

Update: I have finally gotten the car back after the engine replacement, Thanks to everyone who contributed during the troubleshooting

kingreign:

This advice is priceless, pls adhere to it Joeeasy. Also, monitor your coolant levels religiously.

Yep, I import most of the replacement OEM parts, the car has not run without an Octane booster and valve cleaner since I got it, I guess my mistake was allowing them to buy the oil and filter locally during the last oil change.

There were no check engine codes or oil pressure warnings. The new engine installation should be complete by the end of this week tho.

Hey guys, Who can help out?

My Item has been sent to Customs since the 29th of August, I have not heard from anyone.

And where is LAGOS IMPC (AIR), so that I can go to the office myself

It’s the thing the finger is touching

That's your linkage

Have you tried getting the engine seating fixed?

So I installed new OEM rotors since the previous one is unevened which has significantly reduced the vibration.

I’ll check the engine seating tomorrow, I ordered for front ball joints also

kingreign:


Surprisingly, these cars are known to have propellers that causes vibrations.

I see, I’ll have the drive shaft and engine mounts inspected. I get this rocky feeling whenever I go through interlocked roads.

My 2001 es300 with 50k suspension has better ride quality

Ariiinze:


Good legs, sound engine, good gear and good tyres. You'd enjoy the car, the speed is out of this world if you like speeding.

Do not take this comment for granted, especially the good legs part.


I got the 2013 Gs350 f sport, my only problem is the legs and I spent quite a lot to fix it but it's still giving me vibrations and rattles(driving me crazy).

Just do your due diligence

I nor dey like this type of talk. Which something aside? Do you know where he lives? Do you know how much he uses for transportation? Wouldn't he feed? Abeg, if you don't know his story, keep quiet.

Bros na so habits dey form, until it becomes part of you.

As someone just starting with career/life you could benefit from developing these habits early on. It doesn't have to be a significant amount.

If you reason that way, Even N3m nor go reach you spend monthly. Learn about lifestyle inflation.

People are earning 400k USD per year and still living paycheck to paycheck.

Nor be juju, habits are difficult to break.

SageOfChelsea:
You dey try. I'm single and I earn 70k and yet I goa borrowing be4 27th of the month. I'm not getting married until I am earning 200k plus. And future wife must be earning 100k plus.

If you can't keep something aside now, even when you are earning 200k+ you will borrow. Very bad habit I develop at an early state of my carrier

.

Still available?

Ariiinze:


Better with more looks both exterior and interior.

If i sell this 2008,I'm definitely going for 2015

Thanks man! Gs350 it is

olumzzz:

Nigerians and fuel efficiency.
Did he ask for fuel efficiency?
The GS is definitely a more reliable car compared to the mercs

Thanks, I'm more concerned with reliability, fuel consumption isn't a problem

Ariiinze:


MOST people do not like the GS series because of the exterior design. IS had more sporty looks while ES design obviously looks rugged.

But GS has better accelerations, speed and more sporty comfortable inside. And it's less problematic.

I drive a GS350 2008

I love the interior of the 2008 model too, but it looks ugly on the outside.

What about the 2013-2015 model?? Are they any good?

HeavenlyBang:


I wouldn't buy a 2013 GS as my first car. You're better off with a 2012+ C Class or a GLK.

May I ask why tho? I so love the car

Hello Guys,

What are your thoughts on the 2013 - 2015 GS350 for a first car, given that it's quite rare ? or The GX470 2008 considering the nature of our roads.

I also have the ES350 and C300 as options, but I'm prioritizing the two above.

Would appreciate your response.

TheOldGods:
so do you know how to swim now?

Yes, Got obsessed with learning how to swim a couple of months after I overcame my fear of drowning.
I was trained as an athlete at the same pool I almost drown in (Just 8ft lmao).

You should learn how to stay underwater at a level you're comfortable with and learn how to go up for air when you feel the need to.
A good instructor should be able to teach you this.

TheOldGods:
Recently one of my friend died from drowning. He was traveling to his village in Benue when there small canoe capsized,
Share you near drowning experience or that of a friend.

Just pay for a proper instructor, I’ve had similar experience, luckily for me there was a life guard.

MISSCONGENIALITY:
If you know how stressful it is to seat down and make hair, you will understand why some ladies get tired of hair.
I've been enjoying lowcut for a long time now and I don't see myself making hair anytime soon. Especially when one can wear wigs if they want to look different.

I've been running from my hair dresser for the past two weeks because my mind isn't ready for that pain lol... But the OP isn't entirely wrong

They want to bill me this morning

HeavenlyBang:


There was one for sale for about 8m a few weeks ago. They pop up from time to time.

Damn, that would've a fun ride.

Where can one buy an ISF in Nigeria? It seem rear

Limitless72:
I remember when I purchased BANG RULE and ADVANCED BANG RULE, around 2016/17. It's like four years down the line, we've got to know women better and how to play with their psyche.


Enjoy the cruise

ImaIma1:
What kind of person talks about IG likes and clothes?

Reasonable points. A girl must be able to invest in a relationship...not only her presence but her money.

You're damn right, but sadly I know a couple.
They use it to feed their ego, thus giving them an elevated sense of worth.

Boss HARDDON I think there sgould be an article on the Art of Deep Diving as I feel this is where you get your web wrapped around them ladies hearts.

They would go on and on talking about their passion and that which troubles them emotionally and ending up thinking you've known too much about them than anyone else, thus increasing the golden chain(The underlining purpose of this is to build stronger bond). This doesn't does apply to just relationships, it also applies to longterm friendship y'all gotta be vulnerable and share experiences.

If anyone has articles or suggestions that can help, kindly quote this post

HeavenlyBang:


Yes, assuming it's a single person.

Wow... and someone is making me scared of getting the ES330 on nairaland(They said it's not for chewing gum boys )
Damn

Hey guys, so I have this sprint unlocked S9+ and every time I tried to update the software version, I get the message "Your current software version is not supported."

I've tried flashing stock firmware with Odin before but it keeps failing. Has anyone experienced this? If yes, how were you able to fix it.
