AmuDimpka: Aston Martins make fast cars but never cars that can compete with the best at either track or drag. They're not designed to be raced. |

HeavenlyBang:True...I looked closely at a 2009 cls500 for sale recently, I actually wasn't convinced anymore about owning one...It appears too overstyled for my taste now 2 Likes 1 Share |

HeavenlyBang:What do you think about the old w124 mercs- in the late 80s to early 90s they had cars like the 300E amg, the e60 amg (the 6.0 hammer). Those cars are like a needle in haystack. Would be nice to have one of such cars for keeps. W124s churning out 380hp -400hps in the 80s... |

HeavenlyBang:Before I got my c350, I saw an advert on NL, asking for N4m for a used w204 amg prefacelift. https://www.nairaland.com/5138488/2009-mercedes-benz-c63-amg#77612904 Almost got it. But i had to think again..."used c63amg or first-owned c350?" |
Re: Mercedes Benz Thread by HeavenlyBang(m): 10:12am On Apr 01, 2020 |
yungboss: First-owned C350 will always be the right option, tbh. 1 Like |
Re: Mercedes Benz Thread by HeavenlyBang(m): 10:14am On Apr 01, 2020 |
yungboss: The CLS550 is the real gem. The 500 was a bit underwhelming and isn't a performance upgrade on my current car. But that 5.5L is excellent. yungboss: Definitely! Those cars are probably very rare and expensive now, sadly, unless you get lucky. Well-built cars with massive engines are a gem. |

Re: Mercedes Benz Thread by AmuDimpka: 11:45am On Apr 02, 2020 |
Eddee: One it's not. A FALLACY OF HASTY GENERALUZATION Bro...also you took the phrase from the literal meaning ...you didnt look at the figurative meaning and contextual meaning Just like saying that Genevieve Nnaji doesn't get old ! It is a two way thing...some people would look at tbis expression from Literal meaning while some would look at it from figurative meaning This statement doesn't mean that Genevieve doesn't get old because we all know that every thing gets old but it means that Genevieve aging process is graceful and slower !

Re: Mercedes Benz Thread by HeavenlyBang(m): 12:09pm On Apr 02, 2020 |
AmuDimpka: Aston Martin doesn't make mainstream production sports cars, sir. Showing a Wikipedia excerpt for the company's F1 participation is irrelevant. Here's some fun information for you: Aston doesn't even build its own engines. Also cars like the Valkyrie and Vulcan are all extremely limited edition offerings. Ergo, you can't go to an Aston Martin dealership and buy one. Aston's bread and butter are heavy grand touring cars that can perform decently on the track but are designed for long-distance travelling in ultimate comfort. |

yungboss: You know what I mean. A Toyota 86 is a sports car. A Nissan 370z is a sports car. Doesn't mean you'll see them being compared to something like an M3. Mainstream production Astons aren't built to be tracked or dragged. |

AmuDimpka:There is a difference between a cliche, a slogan and a statement of fact. If either of the words 'literally' or 'figuratively' was added to that statement, my response would have been different. You studied literature? Should I be afraid? Humour me. |
Re: Mercedes Benz Thread by rozey247(m): 8:51am On Apr 04, 2020 |
Good morning to all the benz expert in the house. Please I need help and advice from the experience users and experts here concerning my C240 2003/2004 model. The cooling fan is always running on high speed and making a loud sound whenever I on AC. If AC is off it runs silent and normal but the moment I on AC the fan will start running at a higher speed and keep on like that continuously and you can pick up the sound of the fan from some meters away and even in the cabin as you drive. And the AC is working perfect and chilling but the sound is making me not enjoy my AC in peace�� I was told is a common problem with that model and year but no one seems to know the solution among those I have come across. Please any suggestion on how to go about solving this issue is welcome. God bless you all. �

rozey247: Good morning bro, the blower motor making noise is nothing new to w211s and w203s, as for the fans they are indeed very loud. From your write-up, I am happy at least that your kazeem has not disconnected the "water switch" (coolant temperature sensor) from the coolant housing next to the thermostat, this is their first line of 2 Likes |
Re: Mercedes Benz Thread by searchng4love: 10:33am On Apr 04, 2020 |
rozey247:Is the AC factory fitted or you have changed a component? |
Re: Mercedes Benz Thread by rozey247(m): 10:49am On Apr 04, 2020 |
Eddee:Thanks for your response sir. I am always careful with our mechanics( the kazeems.lol) the reason why I have never bothered to take it to them first before understand the problem myself. I read somewhere the problem is connected to coolant temperature sensor, the fan regulator as you suggested or ECU of the engine. I don't want to attempt to fix it until I become sure it will work. I don't want to waste my hard earned money as you advice. I think I will have to just get used to it like that. Though I was having that fear the fan may wear and spoil if I keep using it like that. |
Re: Mercedes Benz Thread by rozey247(m): 10:50am On Apr 04, 2020 |
searchng4love:Its factory fitted sir |
