Bros...nah play him dey play with u nah cheesy


Bro, Dude keeps running amok in Benz threads bring up Toyota and Lexus talk...we have jrard him in the other thread and we know that Toyota are the best cars in Milky ways but can he allow us have a benz conversation in peace or maybe he wants conversion to Benz... but how can people come to Bemz thread and start Toyota talk...it is funny


Cant people have decent conversation in peace without trolls everywhere


Just look at it from that angle bros....I am not angry at anyone, We are here discussing and some people are learning and taking and making inforned decision, so why troll a great thread...why dont they go open a thread or topic to discuss their Lexus and Toyota things.... opening thread is free, the last time I checked

Why are you advicing against the KOMPRESSOR upgrade? Throw more light on that pls.

I am eyeing a C230 Kompressor


I heard that Kompressor engine is a bit complicated and it has somw level of phobia for water and we are in tropics, it rains well...My Mechanic would always advice for same class the 4MATIC version...with 12 plugs...the v6 engine...that one is more rgged and can take stuffs thrown on it

Some of us are users of Benz and we have loved the marquee we never said that we are mechanics or engineers...we have our various jobs

Now that you know a whole lot about Benz and all the Benz products..maybe we can start learning from you the master himself. We can drink from your almighty fountain of Benz knowledge.

We would be pleased if you can educated us where there is any thing that we don't know or maybe teach us how best we can handle our Benz products

Thanks

So for ur mind u think I don't know it's Toyota that makes Lexus. Oga try again. Read my comment again this time slowly. Lexus is a luxury brand of Toyota, but not all Lexus cars are glorified Toyota. Can u kindly tell me which Toyota brand Lexus gs350 was made from, or which Toyota brand the Lexus LC was made from, or which Toyota brand Lexus LS was made from. So because the new Toyota supra has a BMW engine means the supra is a glorified BMW? Or because jaguar shares parts with Aston Martin then Aston Martin is a glorified Jaguar? Or rolls Royce is a glorified BMW because they share parts? In fact u are right. E get some things we don't argue in public.

Bro...like you said, somethings are not worth arguing in public. I drive a GS300. My neighbour drives an 08 Avalon. Having ridden with me a couple of times, he respects my badge. EOD.
The GS was built way ahead of it's time.

The side mirrors trafficators,10k for both.
Bushing on the arm 5k(minus labour)
Shaft hose 10k for both sides.
Stabilizer linkage, 20k for both.
Rear brake discs 6k for both
Front shock absorbers 110k ,Sachs OEM(Same brand for a Toyota muscle costs about 80k)
Others are just routine wear and tear stuff like brake pads 12k for front, 10k or so for rear.
Engine air filters 6k or so.
Cabin air filters 6k or so.
Engine oil 13-17k X 2gallons depending on the brand.I change oil b/w every 8-10 months.
Star oil for the transmission 3.5k X 7 cans(once every 40k miles or so.

Car drives like dream,though no longer my daily driver.

Benz is such a great car....my ML 320 2004 model is so safe that it comes with 8 airbags as a standard...4 by the doors, two by the dash and two by the frame !


The handling of that car is so heavy and funny enough it doesn't consume fuel! That can is so economical and yet it comes with 12 fúcking Plugs!

Open the engine and see massive ness
