What's your location?
You need a scan to know why the car is in a limp mode, also, is your car a c230 sports 7G tronic 722.9 transmission?
Re: Mercedes Benz Thread by Kunlinha: 9:15am On May 30, 2016
I'm in Apo Abuja, Not so versed in vehicle spec. Just know it's a c230 sport 2007 model.Just got it, The guy drove it all the way down from Ilorin without hassles. It was when I met him and started the car the issue came up

If you've not bought it, avoid it, if you've bought it. Find a way to return it and get a refund.

I'm afraid you may be in for some challenges in the future to come with that car if it wasn't properly done. Hope you've got the guts to pull thru when it eventually does?


PS: I'm not wishing you evil, but from experiences of others I say this.

You are a great guy ...it was in a limp mode for sometimes and the hammer was changed
real benz techicians seem scarce... Thank you mi guy

The AMG styled wheels are just aftermarket purchase, as for the Service records, I recommend you go thru your owners manual.

cne010 I asked for your advise a long time ago but didn't hear back sad (Dont know if you remember. Its the Naija car that had the air suspension problem)
We finally got some parts here and shipped them to Nigeria. It was not a cheap job in the end, but these things do happen.

Meanwhile It seems only guys are allowed on here grin although I don't blame you guys though, and after driving my hubbys car for a week I accept defeat and have been begging him to take his car back before I get into trouble with this very jumpy jumpy car. Small tap on the accelerator and the car has jumped 10 yards forward. There is a lot of power under that bonnet and the car has turned me into a baby driver embarassed

How reliable is 2007 benz c280 on Nigerian Road? And like I ask which one will be reliable between rear wheel drive and 4matic drive as regards to maintenance and fuel consumption? I need a counsel on this
Re: Mercedes Benz Thread by Nobody: 1:17pm On Jun 04, 2016
Hello,
Please, I need advice: Is a C180, 1999/2000 model a good ride as a first car? I've been looking at a Honda baby boy cos I've heard it's good in terms of fuel consumption and maintenance, but I really, really like Mercedes and would love to get one.

Please and please share any insight that might be of help.

Thank you.

I would advice the rear wheel drive cos the suspension parts are cheaper and to me more fun to throw around. Both cars are reliable remember you're getting a facelifted version.

I can assure the C180 is more economical and a better car than the baby boy and the maintenance is pretty cheap.

That's a torque converter. For such a big truck bearing a 772.9 transmission, you have to budget close to 50,000 if care isn't taken. What year model is your engine?

I don't understand how a C220 would be jumpy?? The exchange rate won't help the price of the components.

How many suspension are you changing?

I dont know too...Maybe because its new or maybe because mine takes off slower or maybe because its diesel. I dont know jare. I am a girl embarassed
Suspension problem on both sides, In fairness one side was dropping but because it was intermittent and we don't drive it often we left it, until kpaka the other one just went. Kai Baba embarrassment on the Lagos Ibadan expresseway all dressed up for party in Abeokuta grin

At the point at which the thing totally packed up it the car only a few cm off the ground. Dashboard sef complaining "Stop car too low" Like we didn't already know undecided

Exchange rate is affecting everything o!
Even the Okro seller has put her prices up
Customer no vex, na dollar Ooooooooo! grin

Diesel cars are very torquey if you notice it doesn't have high Revs like most cars that get to 8000Rpm and if it is also new it means those rampaging german horses haven't escaped yet, when the suspension is fixed try to drive the car more often.

Its really tough getting parts cos I'm giving my car a treat I'm upgrading some parts, repainting it and putting quad pipes with mufflers to give it that AMG grunt and sound.

I'm gunning for the look below, I even wanted to paint my car from gray to red but my GF threaten to break up with me lol.. none of my friends like the color red on the W204 and I love it so I'm settling for the color black tho and I'm getting the 2012 LED Tail light.

You guys and your toys sha
Grunt ke . . .What do you need 4 exhausts for nitori Olorun grin grin grin grin
Yes pls do go for colour black
I Love black cars and the way they gleam after a polish. So long as you promise to give your gf quality time and dont spend all of Saturday polishing the beast you can go for black grin
Not so sure about red on a Merc
Red Mercs look somehow to me so I'm with your gf on this one grin


Re the suspension, people have said that we need to drive it more
This is the problem
We only use the car max 40 days a year if at all
Everytime we get to the car its one thing or another cos its always parked during the year and only warmed once every 2 or 3 weeks
Warmed.....not driven.
Its a catch 22 situation
Give someone the key to drive it around from time to time but it may end up in a worse state.

Ive never understood why a car with low mileage will end up misbehaving due to lack of use
Couple of years ago the timing belt went on my BMW that had only done 50K miles
Engine totally caput
Engine replaced but it never really recovered so I had to flog it
Lack of use was blamed angry
