dljbd1: Very questionable engine build quality. Single chain driving cam and crankshaft which are prone to stretching, camshaft sprocket are prone to stripping their teeth, cam lobes are known to fail, supercharger are known to give up, oil leaks. Once the chain snaps, its a good bye kiss to that engine. 2 Likes |

HeavenlyBang:The moment you call ndubisi benz spare parts seller.. Oga.... Hello ndubisi.. Ndubisi... Hello oga ,I am fine sir.. Oga... You get control arm for w204... Ndubisi. E de sir... na 4matic or ordinary.. 4matic na N50,000, ordinary na N30,000 sir. It was at this moment oga will start having little regrets on why he bought 4matic Whichever way you look at it,if you have a deep pocket,4matic is a good choice. Especially with the annoying screeching sound RWD makes when climbing a rough hill. With 4matic (AWD) its like iron to magnet. 5 Likes 1 Share |

Omo! I hear say engine alone na 800k From personal experience I noticed every Benz mechanic workshop I visited the mechanic is always busy changing Benz engine. It got me thinking 800k no be small money o especially if you are a salary earner. Well my advise is If you get the money for the pricey repairs and fixes you can go for it otherwise run four forty. A better option is 2010 Lexus rx350 though more expensive blissbliss: |

radautoworks: On this same thread, people have explained that 4matic parts are simply more expensive. Plus more mechanical parts. I'm not sure how that equates to maintenance expertise? AWD will always be more complex than FWD/RWD. |
Re: Mercedes Benz Thread by tsiriman(m): 12:27pm On Jun 13, 2021 |
Which of this cars is a better buy? 2013 W204 C300/350 Or 2015 W205 C300 I hear alot of engine issues with the W205 that's why I was considering a step down to the 3.5L V6 on the W204. Is it compulsory to use octane booster on both models considering they require premium fuel |
Re: Mercedes Benz Thread by HeavenlyBang(m): 1:23pm On Jun 13, 2021 |
tsiriman:C400 is what we always recommend here but it's usually a bit more expensive than the C300. You can consider a 2014 E350. That's what I'd buy. |
Re: Mercedes Benz Thread by tsiriman(m): 1:36pm On Jun 13, 2021 |
HeavenlyBang: The C400 is much more expensive. I see alot of the C300 around and I keep wondering if they are having issues to deal with, I've also seen a number that had engines changed. I will prefer a C as the E is larger, a compact luxury will be better for me at the moment |
Re: Mercedes Benz Thread by HeavenlyBang(m): 3:21pm On Jun 13, 2021 |
tsiriman: That 2.0T is a bit crappy, especially during the first years of of production. I feel I've given the recommendation I can. If you don't need rear doors, a 2014+ E Coupe is a good alternative. |
Re: Mercedes Benz Thread by radautoworks: 3:33pm On Jun 13, 2021 |
HeavenlyBang:because they don't go bad or need changing often so that's not a huge concern. I can count on one hand how many we've seen that went bad in 10 years. 1 Like |
