House please, I need your help. I want to buy a 2001 Mercedes Benz C320. So far the cat is okay to me especially price wise but my only fear is that I didn't see the engine temperature gauge on the dash board. I complained about it but I was told that, that it displays on a screen on the dash board only when the temperature is high. Is that how the car truly works because I haven't heard that before. House please help
yes that is how it works for that model. After 2005 they started having temperature guages again

Re: Mercedes Benz Thread by Danfuster(m): 10:44pm On Jan 31, 2016
Pls guys, I really do need your help. My dad's Mercedes Benz E420 1996 model engine belt keeps pulling out everytime it's been reved, tho the power steering pump is licking and dropping around the AC compressor roler but the mech guy said the belt adjuster is bad and needs be changed. This car just went through a Lil conversion phase from a v8 8plugs to a v8 16plugs. This Car is still at ladipo auto market and I'm going there tomorrow to supervise the work as my dad has to get to work... He's a civil servant. Pls, your kind expertise to the guru in the house. Thank you.

The car can show the Temp on the dash press the page up button until the displays the mileage then press the up button you would a digital meter. You need to be pretty smart to Understand the car. This saved me when my water pumped failed I was able to stop and get it fixed before the car over heated.

this is more like it. you can use the up and down scroll button on the searing wheel to navigate to this point on the dash board. the dash board works like computer, at your leisure time you can also play with it to see more functions like checking engine oil level, changing time, language, automatic head lamp etc

Hello Guys,

My 2006 ML350 needs a ECU (brain-box) and VIN is 4JGBB86E86A024193.

I will appreciate contacts of a seller if anyone here has had any previous dealings in this regard. Thanks

Is the C-class 1997 Model a good ride?
Re: Mercedes Benz Thread by tonychristopher: 8:19am On Feb 05, 2016
I have two cars ..a Japanese and a c class ..to be frank ..th best car I have driven is a c class kompresor.. The handling is superb...the body alignment awesome the accerelation that of McLaren.. Tgat car is a beast of three starts but the finest is the fuel efficiency

The downside is the electronic ...it turns off once in a while but it minor faults ...the engine of a Benz is basically built to last

The WhatsApp group as presently constituted seem overrated. It was great to have been there. Made good friends and contacts I'll keep in touch with always.

It used to make a whole lot of sense when benz ish was shared and solved on NL. I can't massage someone's ego just to remain on the WhatsApp group.

Kingreign et al .... I know where to find you.

Thanks guys.

i

Pls understand that no one would wake up one morning and just say he wants that kinda conversion done on his or her car, the engine ripped open underneath along benin - onitsha express way, took a week to find the engine at ladipo auto market but couldn't find the specific one which led to buying the 16plug engine... then had to way bill it to asaba....long story short, they finally fixed a new brain box and the rewire guy did some wiring works and it's working now but the only problem is it jerks when you try to do a Lil kick down from like gear 1 and 2 but flows smoothly when at 3 upward... Pls advice on this gurus. Thank

[b]all cars can be problematic , if you do not give them what they need. I love the ML, & I own one . Bought it in 2013 december (Clean Tokunbo) about 11,000km mileage , actually a 2005 ML 350 Special Edition. 320/350 are V6 engines with 3.2/3.7 litre engine respectively . 350 more powerful & refined than the 320, just minor difference in overall build. 320 production was stopped in 2003 and replaced with 350 until 2005, in the W163 category.
M class (W163) are not problematic , especially the later builds (2002-2005), the earlier builds (1998-2001) had a few quality control issues, but Benz later improved in the later builds of the W163. Just make sure you get a clean well maintained one , & do your regular servicing & make the owners manual your friend read it like a religious book grin, & you would have no problems , like all benz the W163 MLs are very strong & reliable , for me the ML W163 combines Class & Ruggedity all in one package better than any other benz, W163 strong die grin..yet classy .[/b]

You should be very careful with a Naija used Benz. If you must go the Naija route,ensure you inspect the vehicle in and out to ascertain the condition before buying. Benz is not like Jap that can tolerate abuse...Goodluck
