You have nothing to worry about.
Since you said it was done in Europe, they will just change parts/components, sensors to petrol.
It's same body and frame...u are good to go.

No bros, i didn't say it was done in Europe. Car was only imported from Europe, German precisely. It was most likely done in Nigeria

Where did you see That the conversion was done in Europe and why will anyone convert from diesel to petrol in Europe of all places?
Just curious undecided
Let me see how you see it from your vantage point.
There are alot of petrol cars in Europe, they also convert alot of cars in Europe.
Just that they have more diesel than petrol for now.
There are many reasons someone in Europe will convert from diesel to petrol including high emissions.

Some cities in Europe are in the final stage of placing a ban on diesel cars.

A European concerned about emission won't buy diesel in the first place!
The only reason diesel cars are converted in Nigeria is ill expertise of diesel techies here and poor diesel being peddled here.
So people have little or no reason to convert their cars in Europe.

Manufacturers are known to lie to decieve people into buying their cars including manipulating vehicle computers to give false reading.
Ever heard of the " Cleaner diesel vehicles"? And how d scam was busted?
Lots of things going on in d world Bro.
Meanwhile, An European can choose to convert his car just for the fun of doing so, crazy ones will put a V8 in an i4 vehicle, install a 20" rim on a 16" vehicle, put spacers on the wheels to put the tyres further from the body.
They do alot of crazy stuff over there.

If the vehicle was imported from Germany and it came in as a lefty...then it was done over there in Germany.

I currently use Mercedes Benz E350, of recent I started hearing some strange sound each time am making a U-turn. On normal drive, I don't experience the noise. Two mechanics I ve met could not diagnose what the real problem is.
Please anyone with good suggestions will be highly welcomed.

Is it a 4matic or non 4matic? It can be very tricky to diagnose remotely, could be something as cheap as a ball joint 1,500, stabilizer linkage 7,000, tie rod (with socket) 12—15k.

But deep down we both know what is making that sound, I bet your mechanic has mentioned it, but you've refused to believe without multiple opinions. grin grin grin grin

My brother be like me, start saving to buy this. It will get louder and louder until a Honda happens, by the way you forgot to mention the vibrational feedback you recieve from the steering wheel at speeds above 50 mph or when going through bumps and potholes.

Read up about the front shafts of the w210, w211 and w212. They don't tolerate dirt, a single grain of sand could damage them. A long shot would have been the upper arms or stabilizer linkages, when they go bad (because they definitely will) their ball joints make some crappy sounds when turning irrespective of whether it's 45, 90, 180 or 360 degrees.

But for his case, I'm certain his shaft is on its last legs. Currently have the same symptoms. To make matters easy for him, let him turn the wheel fully and take a picture of the tire well (there will be traces of grease beneath and within the hub.

By the way you've not offered any suggestion
