For my first car I'm buy a c280 2007, what should I look out for in terms of maintenance and general advice about the car. |

Essont: Consumes more wat? Where did you search that it's not common to get? |

Damn, that drag race was definitely rigged - Aunty Radautoworks you've gone in hard on my G's this year, so on a lighter note why didn't you bring down your Benz - the one with the balloon - I remember you giving me stick for admitting mine was converted from air suspension to coil-overs? You have the funds to maintain any model you want, you have the credit to finance an outright purchase, you have the tools and knowledge to fix it by yourself and save cost (If I had, half the knowledge, I will still keep one around, my dad fixes his S-Class by himself). Did you get tired of keeping one in the family or decided to try something new, or did the patience and passion wane? or you discovered like me that a new or direct toks Benz made after 2000 is all fun and lovely until you use it for 2 years in Nigeria with poor fuel, fake parts, and frequent mechanic visits? |

Naanshepnick:balance shaft issues bro,be careful though. And 4matics like to fail and cost almost the Nigerian budget to fix |
Re: Mercedes Benz Thread by ibbabah: 10:09pm On Feb 02, 2020 |
nwanneni: Please can you throw more light on this balance shaft issue. I have always heard balance shaft issue on M272 but no one has come to give a detailed explanation. Please help us out. |
Re: Mercedes Benz Thread by Nobody: 10:15pm On Feb 02, 2020 |
ibbabah:It is a gear shaft inside the engine that wear out over time and gives no signal and just hang,pedal might fall and misfires too. In fact everything will go wrong till its fixed |
Re: Mercedes Benz Thread by ibbabah: 10:40pm On Feb 02, 2020 |
nwanneni: So how is the fixing like, in terms of parts affected and the cost in fixing it? |
Re: Mercedes Benz Thread by Nobody: 11:12pm On Feb 02, 2020 |
ibbabah:them go open the engine and change the shaft oo. And it's very hard to get someone that can do it with no issues.maybe its here in phc though. Ordinary gasket burn for my m271 na replacement of engine here oo,no 2 ways about it. The only remedy na to buy very low mileage motor weh carry 272,though hard to find. |
Re: Mercedes Benz Thread by Naanshepnick: 11:34pm On Feb 02, 2020 |
nwanneni:the 2007 model balance shaft issue was resolved by mecerdez benz starting from 2007 model release from October 2006. There is a range of engine number which the balance shaft issue was corrected. |
Re: Mercedes Benz Thread by ibbabah: 11:54pm On Feb 02, 2020 |
nwanneni: It means the M271 engine is a no go area, my mechanic told me same thing about M271. It means you will hardly use AC or else you go buy another engine. Though I don’t know at what mileage the balance shaft do come up. Mine is at 122529, I just hope my engine is free of balance shaft issue for now. |
Re: Mercedes Benz Thread by ibbabah: 11:58pm On Feb 02, 2020 |
Naanshepnick: The only fear I have about the balance shaft issue is that, I heard someone say that the fixing is very expensive. So I don’t know how expensive it is. Bcus is good to have all these things in check in order to get prepared. |
Re: Mercedes Benz Thread by Naanshepnick: 11:33am On Feb 03, 2020 |
ibbabah:M272 engine with engine no. Starting from 30 468993 does not have the balance shaft problem, one can easily check the engine number using mercedes vin check online with the vehicle vin no. C230 2007, c280,c300, c350,E350 e.t.c all use m272 engines Most of the balance shaft problem are in 2005 and 2006 models and usually happens around 90k to 110kmiles so most cars in Nigeria with miles above 110kmiles the problem might have been solved before it reaches Nigeria. 1 Like |

Re: Mercedes Benz Thread by Essont(m): 7:12pm On Feb 03, 2020 |
But why? Apart from the power any other advantage? I personally won't like to go for a 6 cylinders just yet, and the C230k has just decent power per economy I actually only wanted to hear from the C230k 2005 model users experience here. sacramento1212: |
Re: Mercedes Benz Thread by HeavenlyBang(m): 7:28pm On Feb 03, 2020 |
Essont:The C320 is a better-built car, engine is far more durable. That C230K will send you back to the village, it's a total piece of shite. Get a 2005 C320 and enjoy your car. |
Re: Mercedes Benz Thread by sacramento1212: 8:16pm On Feb 03, 2020 |
HeavenlyBang: You've done justice to the response i was to give him. The choice is his to make. |
Re: Mercedes Benz Thread by ibbabah: 10:00pm On Feb 03, 2020 |
Naanshepnick: I have checked but couldn’t find any engine number as stated above. |
Re: Mercedes Benz Thread by Furrylow: 11:28pm On Feb 03, 2020 |
Essont:The c 230 k is a fantastic ride. It has its issues as every car does. I have owned one and have no regrets. Very fast and good fuel economy. Major issue is the engine does not tolerate heat, make sure u check for leaks as this will easily make car overheat. Once u on top of that, not much to bother about. It's a fun car, U'll enjoy it. Cheers |

Re: Mercedes Benz Thread by Nobody: 8:31am On Feb 04, 2020 |
9icetoo: It's like you don't know the c230k with m271 will rape your mdx. |
Re: Mercedes Benz Thread by ibbabah: 9:26am On Feb 04, 2020 |
Furrylow: It means the most reliable engine is M272 and M112. An engine that can get knock out on a slightest heat is something to think and worry about. The engine goes for 280k. Everyone can’t be careful like the way you are, so is better for him to Think twice. |

nwanneni: I wanted to go for that car but my mechanic warned me about it. Bcus he has changed M271 engine for one man thrice due to over heating. So let me stick to my M272 and enjoy what am getting. I love the 6 manual/7 auto gear. |
