i have got my car on the road on saturday as schedule, am however still having some issues and the mechanic seem to be doing trial and error. the car goes off when left to steam and it doesn't start except i throttle . my last car was an 03 Nissan maxima and it didn't act like this. i still need advice from experienced hands pls |

aguiyi:Have you gotten the MAF sensor earlier discussed? |
Re: Mercedes Benz Thread by Nobody: 12:02pm On Feb 09, 2015 |
0rex:its the old model that doesn't use MAF sensor but only Airfilter . i have gotten it. i actually drove to Aba from ph and the movement was ok but when i slow down it doesnt pick up on time even if i return to high gear until after like 1 minute or 2 except i off the engine and restart it again. All this started after i wash the engine on arrival from Benin cos it was dirty to a fault . |
Re: Mercedes Benz Thread by Nobody: 1:48pm On Feb 09, 2015 |
aguiyi:Did you scan the car prior to changing the Air-filter? I don't think your mechanic is right sha. Does the car use a carburetor?, The MAF sensor is usually attached to the air-filter box. If the MAF sensor is faulty, it can be very frustrating because it causes random engine malfunctions. Get that car scanned sir and also upload pics of your engine bay. |
Re: Mercedes Benz Thread by Nobody: 1:58pm On Feb 09, 2015 |
0rex: i will upload pix of the engine bay after work. the scanning has to be by weekend 1 Like |

LeylowDee: did you wash your engine, mine is doing like that and it started after the engine wash. it seems like a common problem with the c-class |
Re: Mercedes Benz Thread by tuco02: 1:56pm On Feb 11, 2015 |
Hi guys, I use c240 w203 2005. Recently I noticed if I come to a slow stop it takes like two seconds for the gear to pick up. Though not always. But I'm really concerned. NB I recently changed the gear oil because of a leak underneath. It still leakes a little though. So far no any check engine light. And it drives smoothly. Just that little hesitation for 2 seconds when I come to a slow stop. Pls advice needed. Tnxs guys |
Re: Mercedes Benz Thread by Nobody: 8:20pm On Feb 11, 2015 |
tuco02: What transmission oil did you use? |

Re: Mercedes Benz Thread by Emperoh(m): 8:52am On Feb 17, 2015 |
Good morning Benz addicts, A friend is keen on buying a 2004 S350. The deal is cool and all seems ok. But the airmatic suspension is fault. Something to do with the airpump. Checks show that a new pump can be installed for N25k. But then, how reliable and durable is the Airmatic suspension? IS it a component requiring specific servicing regime and then again, is it a component that will frequently break down? Any other issues he needs to be conscious about on the S350? |
Re: Mercedes Benz Thread by lungwun(m): 10:14am On Feb 18, 2015 |
Emperoh: Since no Benz owner has replied, allow me, a BMW owner (who has also considered a S350) reply you. The W220 has its share of electrical gremlins not none too worrying. Also check if the car has ABC (I doubt it if its a 350) but that is another area of super worry. Engine parts M112.E37 are shared amongst other lesser Mercedes models (ML350 In Nigeria, and i see loads of those) so they should be readily available. Alternatively, the S320 shares most engine components with the more popular (in Nigeria) M112 E32 engine so servicing and engine parts will even be easier. However in a car of complexity there are several other things which could go wrong. The s320 is also down approximately 25hp and 25 lb/ft of torque to the 350. Like you said, the airmatic is a problem, not just the pump but also the individual shocks. Arnott have reconditioned shocks which are not too bad but the costs hit hard if you are not expecting it. Air suspension parts could be cheaper in Nigeria but i haven't done my research. |
Re: Mercedes Benz Thread by Nobody: 11:06am On Feb 18, 2015 |
lungwun: Thanks Lungwun the ambassador for BMW to Benz. The W220 uses hydraulic shocks not really pricey like the Airshocks so it isn't that pricey like previous models. It's a pretty solid car the only expensive fix I see would be the SBC and the shocks which do rarely go bad aside that is a pretty good car. If your friend finds a mechanic with a star scanner he has no problems. I think the car in question should be a s320 not s350 |
Re: Mercedes Benz Thread by lungwun(m): 11:36am On Feb 18, 2015 |
cne010: Thanks, It could be a S350 as those were only sold in Europe. The W220 only got the 350 in the US in its final year of production and they are as scarce as hens teeth. |
Re: Mercedes Benz Thread by Emperoh(m): 12:16pm On Feb 18, 2015 |
Thanks guys. I think the guy is pretty much ok with other components of the car except for the Airmatics. He will be reading this reviews and taking a decision thereof. E seun sirs!!! |
Re: Mercedes Benz Thread by Nobody: 3:31pm On Feb 18, 2015 |
the injector cleaner improved my engine performance. am really grateful to the guy that recommended it. i still get this slow movement whenever i slow down or stop completely. is this how the c 180 acts or i have other things to attend to. i will continue using the cleaner to see if it improves further till i get a better solution 1 Like |
