Hazardfan1:grill is not with bonnet! I forgot radiator and condenser too ![]() And you go start to get difficulty with your bonnet or body kits lapping properly. Bros,you have to drive the car first before you will know if the engine was affected or not. M271 no be am o!I don buy 3 engines in my time so I know what I am saying. I am very sorry for what happened,you weh no be speed freak sef. #Insidelife. 1 Like |

Dear Hazardfan1 words have failed me this morning. I'll hit you up privately, I understand that you may not have money set aside to even contemplate getting another car irrespective of how much you generate from the Mechanic (300k), selling the w203 for scrap (150-200k likely) , gearbox and a few components are still intact while fuel pump/filter are toast from your earlier observation. Your chassis is clearly affected (even if its just the front beam, that M271 is toast ( and the front SAM wasn't even factored in by Logobenz nor the brakes. Like some more qualified persons have said earlier, it's time to count your blessings. 3 Likes |

Re: Mercedes Benz Thread by HeavenlyBang(m): 3:41pm On Oct 12, 2019 |
Hazardfan1: So sorry about this, mate. Like many have said, I wouldn't advice you to use the car after this. Either sell as is and collect the 300k on top, or let them fix it up, then sell. 2 Likes |
Re: Mercedes Benz Thread by Nobody: 4:00pm On Oct 12, 2019 |
Hazardfan1:All you have there is a small problem. Sorry about the unfortunate incident. Make up your mind on what you want to do. Unlike eddee's assumption I don't think your chassis is affected. Hence we're looking at a new nose... Bonnet, fenders, front bumper, radiator, headlamp, let the imp fix it or write an undertaking to fix it with your lawyer.... Then proceed to fix your car. You're lucky to be at Ibadan... If you need reference from me let me know. 2 Likes |

Smartchoiice: You can carry out a physical inspection since you're within reach and confirm the extent of damage - while you're it, kindly spare a thought for the suspension components since you don't believe that impact may have affected the beam (sway bar, stabiliser linkages, lower and upper arms). And even the airbag modules which are not cheap at all. It's a hard pill to swallow, but I feel very sad for him, that car had a well-storied background on here. ![]() ![]() |

Re: Mercedes Benz Thread by engrezenwa: 5:25pm On Oct 12, 2019 |
You speak so lowly of the M271 engine, everytime you find the opportunity. Do you mind educating me about this? Would the damage have been less if it were to be M272 or M111? Thanks boss Iogobenz: |
Re: Mercedes Benz Thread by engrezenwa: 5:37pm On Oct 12, 2019 |
Sorry for your loss brother! Let them fix it, since you have the guy in court. After fixing it, you’d have a better bargain selling it. Hazardfan1: 3 Likes |

Re: Mercedes Benz Thread by Iogobenz(m): 5:48pm On Oct 12, 2019 |
engrezenwa:Yes,the M271 is very fragile. It cannot withstand stress and is very hard to work on,so you have to change it at the slightest opportunity ![]() I have bought 3 of them under a year so I know. First time I had an incident,it was due to overheat! If the m271 overheats so much that it stops on its own,sorry it is not coming back! You must buy another engine. Second time was flood. Supercharger intake is so low,beneath the fan so any water that gets in bursts the engine block instantly!no 2 ways about it! Third engine was due to oil.if oil gets too low and pressure isn't much,the oil pump self destruct immediately and it is impossible to replace and have a good performance,reason I bought another engine. This one now dey serve me well all thanks to experience. The legs of that car too is something else ![]() It is one difficult car to maintain,honest truth! But it will give you demonic speed,that is if you love speeding like me ![]() |

Iogobenz: You're not nice, he asked somewhat bout the M111 earlier or so, I think it's not offered on the 203 anyway.
