I've checked the fuses in the front and the one beside the steering, still the same thing... no burnt fuses cos everything is intact... I was advised to get another complete brain box that comes with key. Cos one leg of my own car brain box is broken and it's interfairing with it. danny34: |

Guys what's this dashboard light in w202 for. ASR. Please how can it be cleared. |
Re: Mercedes Benz Thread by Praxtech: 7:19am On Dec 28, 2021 |
Princelumide:Send yours to me for examination.... And possible fixing. There's usually no need to replace it all |
Re: Mercedes Benz Thread by Praxtech: 7:39am On Dec 28, 2021 |
duality:ASR is anti slip regulation or known better as traction control.Sometimes with the system failure the car goes into 'limp mode' and the power is reduced to minimum |

So guys, I saw this w202 C280 that originally came with a 4-speed automatic gearbox (according to VIN check) but now the engine has been swapped with a 4cyl engine (I think that of a c180) and 5-speed automatic gearbox also installed. Seems another ECU was installed (constructed) as the original wearing of the ECU is there dangling in the hood. This car can be cruising at 100-120km/h and the rpm will be resting just somewhere around 1200-1500. Now my question is, does this imply a better gas mileage? 1 Like |
Re: Mercedes Benz Thread by kingreign(m): 10:26am On Dec 28, 2021 |
Kingdemu: ECU was piggy banked. For that rpm range, fuel economy will be good (assuming the tachometer readout is accurate) and all other fuel trim monitors and adjusters are intact and working as should. |
Re: Mercedes Benz Thread by Kingdemu: 11:01am On Dec 28, 2021 |
kingreign:Oh wow. They're still trying to get temp and fuel guages to work though. |
Re: Mercedes Benz Thread by kingreign(m): 12:05pm On Dec 28, 2021 |
Kingdemu: Why would anyone in Africa go thru such stressful and wasteful venture just to get better fuel economy? Isnt it better to sell off the C280 and get a C180 or C200 or C220? Hian It's more like penny wise pounds foolish. Well, to each his own!!! 1 Like 1 Share |
Re: Mercedes Benz Thread by Kingdemu: 2:55pm On Dec 28, 2021 |
kingreign:Don't know if they originally did it just for better gas mileage or the original engine and gearbox had issue and only that of C180 was available to them. But for whatever reason, it's truly a wasteful and stupid venture. Present owner bought it like that naija used and brought it to our car stand and on inspection we found these anomalies and decided not to go thru with the purchase. |
Re: Mercedes Benz Thread by kingreign(m): 3:25pm On Dec 28, 2021 |
Kingdemu: Better stay clear off that car. Lol. |
