Good morning, I'm about buying a 2003 c200 kompressor (naija used). The only worry is that it does brake and quench. We have taken it to 2 mechanics in Lagos but the issue is there. One mechanic said the gearbox has issues. Please advice on what to do to fix this issue? Or should I forget buying this car naija used? Thanks. |

Philadelphia:Get the car to a Star machine. If you are in Lagos I can direct you to one. It's a very simple issue... Please ignore the clown up there he knows nothing about Mercedes brand. A star machine would tell you the issues with the car in-toto... A quote from yourmechanic

Just ensure whatever repair cost is deducted from the purchase cost. 5 Likes |

Ironic. You'd understand why I told him to run if you had a little bit more common sense. Philadelphia, you're close to buying a car from one of the worst eras in the history of Mercedes, and you're already finding mechanical issues with the car? Do yourself a favor: run. It's not worth it. Those cars are complete pieces of shite anyways. |

Where can I find good W202 fuel pump. Most are not functioning well. |
Re: Mercedes Benz Thread by weyreypey: 5:17am On Aug 20, 2018 |
MrBigiman:Buy an E klasse pump instead. |

weyreypey:Will this work well boss? |
Re: Mercedes Benz Thread by weyreypey: 8:25am On Aug 20, 2018 |
MrBigiman:Experience experience. Or get a C klasse pump with a lifetime warranty or 10,000 miles from radautoworks. |
Re: Mercedes Benz Thread by MrBigiman: 8:30am On Aug 20, 2018 |
weyreypey: Thanks boss. Grateful. Will try the former. |
Re: Mercedes Benz Thread by weyreypey: 8:31am On Aug 20, 2018 |
MrBigiman:Why not just buy OEM new? |

benedictgold: As someone who has not been a single year of her life without ownership (even as a baby through my parents) if a Mercedes, an E class is nicer to own but also costs more to maintain. And we've had them all. C,e,s,clk,slk so i can talk and we keep all our cars or give them to family. My husband currently has an S that was my dad's and we also have an E. |
Re: Mercedes Benz Thread by radautoworks: 8:52am On Aug 20, 2018 |
HeavenlyBang: That reminds me. Mercedes e and s class love to "sit". Something about their air suspensions can really piss you off once they start going wonky. Never had that problem with a C. 1 Like |
Re: Mercedes Benz Thread by HeavenlyBang(m): 10:15am On Aug 20, 2018 |
radautoworks: No C uses an air suspension AFAIK. |
Re: Mercedes Benz Thread by radautoworks: 10:25am On Aug 20, 2018 |
HeavenlyBang: Well that explains why they don't "sit" then! Always wondered about that! Never occurred to look cause never had suspension issues in the C. Another thing that makes E class more expensive to maintain. Mystery solved. Thanks! Pic is husband's S doing the infamous "sit" earlier this year. Went through 3 Ladipo replacements at 80k a pop before we were fully set up SMH. 1 Like

radautoworks: Urgh, such a hassle. Any car with an air suspension is a hard pass for me, especially in Nigeria. Funny enough, I've actually seen the balloon things being refilled by normal vulcanizer air pumps. ![]() ![]() |

hello people, i need ur advice on d MB's c230 2006 model v6 nd 06 accord v6. I av done some research abt d 2 vehicles, bt i wnt advice 4rm people who av used either of d 2. Dis are my criterias 4 conparison. 1.reliability nd ruggedness 2. Performance 3. Beauty nd class 4. Availability of original parts. 5. Balance on speed 6. Majorly known problems of both cars 7. Lastly fuel economy Thank u all in advance. |
Re: Mercedes Benz Thread by HeavenlyBang(m): 6:10pm On Aug 20, 2018 |
princevih: 1. Accord will be more reliable. The first few years of the M272 and 7G-Tronic were bad. 2. Accord will outperform the C230 by far. More power, way more torque. 3. C230 looks better, has more class. 4. Meh, should be about the same. 5. C230 has an edge. Although both should be about the same under 160km/h or so. 6. C230 of that year and an engine with a defect. Also the transmission was just introduced and was yet to be perfected. Honda V6s of that generation had shite auto transmissions. 7. About the same. Accord has the bigger engine but VTEC helps with efficiency, so both are in the same 10km/l ballpark. Accord may even have a slight edge. |
