RCDIY: Sorry for disappointing you, chief. Someone has do the dirty work here. Most days you can find me being perfectly reasonable and contributing peacefully. This episode, for instance, began when I gave my own sincere rational opinion and was attacked for it, because some individuals here hate when people don't support their nonsense. I'm not in the habit of lying down and getting kicked. I'll give as much as I receive, it's just a shame that some only know how to dish out but not to receive. 2 Likes |

HeavenlyBang: Stop sounding petty and contrite ! You are notorious for this stupidity here and I am here to correct that madness ! Take this from me ! Enough of this stupidity! When you started dishing out stupidity by telling the man on his priorities and when you where saying some stupid side comments when you were insulted on other threads on your trolling One thing I have come to realize is that you just never owned a Benz and your signature is clear on that.... Just keep your lousy advise on your Nissan thread.... That's what you drive! Have you gotten your discharge certificate from NYSC ? 4 Likes 3 Shares |

WHEN EIS STRIKES I think everyone needs a distraction from these endless fights so I'll drop the gist of my recent travails with the W204 C300. I went out in the morning and returned home, no issues. Wanted to go get something nearby but when I stuck my key in the ignition, I didn't hear the ESL unlocking. Turned it to start and nothing happened, bros was telling me to remove key from ignition And so it began. My mech came in to check it out, verdict: Almighty EIS has struck He tried knocking/tapping it but the ESL wouldn't bulge so he disassembled the steering and took it with him alongside the EIS. 2 days later, he's back with the ESL replaced and a new key, all had been programmed of sort. Then he was able to start the car and take it to his shop to complete other programs and repairs. Now this is the shocker, given the past experiences i read on this, I was already scared on repair cost but it turned out quite alright, the fix cost roughly 120k. I'd say any C300 is good to go if this is one of the worst issues it can have, everything else is pretty solid. When I got it in January, I changed water pump, front shocks,linkage and plugs, besides those, its been a joy to drive. 6 Likes |

blackfm: Yep. 120k isn't a bad expense for someone who owns a recent Benz. Solid car, really. |

Re: Mercedes Benz Thread by blackfm: 8:05pm On Jul 06, 2020 |
HeavenlyBang:Yes, not bad at all, people who had done this in the past put my expectations around 250/300k. I was pleasantly surprised |
Re: Mercedes Benz Thread by Nobody: 8:06pm On Jul 06, 2020 |
blackfm: Is the fix permanent? |
Re: Mercedes Benz Thread by HeavenlyBang(m): 8:09pm On Jul 06, 2020 |
blackfm:Yeah, pleasant surprise. Seems like it's gotten a lot cheaper over the past two years or so. rationalmind:Asking the real questions. Probably not, I'd say. Though it's possible the replacement units are sourced from the latter models that didn't have that issue. |
Re: Mercedes Benz Thread by Nobody: 8:18pm On Jul 06, 2020 |
HeavenlyBang: I would like to think that's the case. Spending 120k at once is no biggie but if you have to replace it two-three times then that's a problem. 1 Like |

Re: Mercedes Benz Thread by chukel(m): 10:48pm On Jul 06, 2020 |
blackfm:there is a way they bypass the EIS. But then, the vehicle is at risk of theft. They also work on this module in ladipo, get a new key and program to it for about 50k or less. |
Re: Mercedes Benz Thread by RCDIY(m): 12:12am On Jul 07, 2020 |
HeavenlyBang: Yeah, I like reading you most days. Well, it should have been an interesting discussion. I got 2004 230k and it's been quite amazing. I've not owned a backwheel drive salon since my 190E and I've been reminded of how fun they can be. I love the way the car is built (the W203) and I like the M271 engine. It also fitted right into my budget. It's quite sporty and quick too. W204 is a better choice but it's too 'loud' for my liking. (I'm not looking to make a statement and the 204 clearly does) My point is that folks have different reasons for buying stuff. I think it's preposterous to say that 2000 Mercedes-Benz (like W202) would be a money pit. Whatever one's choice in cars, liquor or women, make sure it scratches your itch (be it the itch on your toe, throat or manhood). That's the simplest formula to enjoy life! By the way, you guys are great. Special thanks to kingreign. My AC is working as it should now. 4 Likes |

Re: Mercedes Benz Thread by blackfm: 10:18am On Jul 07, 2020 |
HeavenlyBang:i hope for my sake that its permanent , 120k as a one off is quite fine but twice, ill sell it . my new key is a 2012's too, might have to do with the module they replaced it with, just fishing in the dark here |
Re: Mercedes Benz Thread by blackfm: 10:19am On Jul 07, 2020 |
Midoda: thanks, amen to that |
Re: Mercedes Benz Thread by blackfm: 10:22am On Jul 07, 2020 |
chukel: you're right, that applies if the ESL still opens. It was stuck in lock in my case and i preferred to have it changed altogether, EIS still works fine |
