Gee2728: on my car manual it states 62liters but most times it takes abt 65 to 67 liters 2 fill up. I noticed the same thing with my W203. manual indicates 62.01 liters but I unusually have to take more than that at the gas station. |

WHERE IS KUNTASH? |
Re: Mercedes Benz Thread by Eyop: 11:53am On Jul 16, 2013 |
You should also understand that most filling stations in Nigeria the pump at the filling stations have been tampered and as such 1 Litre isn't 1 Litre. Also another factor might be that the additional litres is channelled to reserve. danadam: 2 Likes |

au.hanson:Am patiently waiting for the success of your project cos i also wish to dump a C180 W203 kompressor engine in my C240 W203. just trying to get perfomance and fuel economy all together. advice needed too. |
Re: Mercedes Benz Thread by Gee2728(m): 3:49pm On Jul 16, 2013 |
@tommysparks, are u saying that your w203 c180k is more powerful than c240? |
Re: Mercedes Benz Thread by tommysparks: 4:53pm On Jul 16, 2013 |
Gee2728: @tommysparks, are u saying that your w203 c180k is more powerful than c240?FROM WHAT HAS BEEN SAID HERE, JUST SEEMS THE KOMPRESSORS GOT MORE POWER THAN NORMAL ASPIRATED ENGINES AND SINCE C180K IS A SMALLER ENGINE MEANS BETTER FUEL ECONOMY. OR MAYBE I RATHER TRADE IN THE C240 FOR A C180K. |
Re: Mercedes Benz Thread by Gee2728(m): 10:02pm On Jul 16, 2013 |
tommysparks:not so sure abt that, I drive a W202 C230k and most times its hard for even W203's to run away from me but am not 100perct sure a C180K will out gun a C240. |
Re: Mercedes Benz Thread by Gee2728(m): 10:39pm On Jul 16, 2013 |
tommysparks:here's wat I found out. C180K(141hp, 220nm of torque) vs C240(170hp, 240nm of torque). Based on my small knowledge of cars its the torque that accelerate a car while horse power takes it 2 topspeed. But with the added S/C is deffinately an added advantage for the C180K and if it cost less then its a sure bergain. |

Hello my fellow MB fans, I was at automart today with a friend who is trying to join our MB group, I was checking if I could get a clean 1999 model C 220 elegance for him, or any clean and neatly used C class of any model , later we saw this 2005 A class 210. my question goes thus :- is there anyone here that is using or has used this A class series before? if yes please enlightened me on the pros and cons of the car, because am personally interested. (2) anybody that have used C 220 class with factory fitted A/C, auto transmission, Formica dashboard, 4 cylinders engine, and extra clean. please contact me at pafestula@yahoo.com. or 07030076308. 08184141413. 08023596805 Thanks |

Re: Mercedes Benz Thread by Eyop: 5:52pm On Jul 26, 2013 |
Does anyone here know if Octane booster is a must for a 2005 Mercedes C230 Kompressor. In Nigeria i guess our octane level in our fuel is 90 RON while the car requires a premium unleaded fuel with a higher Octane level. Though the Nigerian fuel is unleaded but the Octane level is low. Does this have any effect on the car |
Re: Mercedes Benz Thread by auhanson(m): 11:51pm On Jul 26, 2013 |
bong4: you are welcome my dear i have not been very particular about the type in my car tho i normally do use abro at all times because the gearbox of this car dnt usually give headache. but i will findout the recommended oil for you. Usually i call it gearbox filter , dnt know if they have their own name, i will still findout for u too, tho last time i change, i changed mine by myself i live in PH |
Re: Mercedes Benz Thread by auhanson(m): 10:47pm On Jul 27, 2013 |
aikerism: i'm happy that you have started enjoying your ride again..but word of caution, if your harness wire is truely bad, make sure you replace it immediately before it damage the new ecu too. enjoy ur Benz |
Re: Mercedes Benz Thread by auhanson(m): 11:01pm On Jul 27, 2013 |
Eyop: Sorry i'm late already, have been very very busy with program codes, but i'm happy that Gee has already done justice to these questions just like i told you earlier on. However, for my advice, just like i told you before, it should all base on your preference, whether you like performance glued with economy, or whether you are ok with just ordinary naturally aspirated engines? As for me, i dnt mind the price i would pay for those superchargers(after all its no more big deal these days to fix them), i need my Benz to be a Benz on the road(especially higways and freeways) all way round, no rival vehicle should dare my machine |
Re: Mercedes Benz Thread by Eyop: 11:15pm On Jul 27, 2013 |
Yeah i have taken the decision to stick with the 2005 Mercedes C230 Kompressor. The 2007 is not economical at all so let me just stick with the 2005. However i asked a question which no one has done justice to it. It's on the issue of the fuel. The 2005 Mercedes C230 requires premium unleaded fuel but in Nigeria it's the regular unleaded fuel that we have and the octane is just 90RON while the car requires a minimum of 91RON. So can you contribute to that? au.hanson: |

My guy I don think this fuel thing tire. Abeg if u want buy car just go ahead leave all that issue behing. I swear with the experience of my 2000 C230 kompressor if u buy that car(2005 C230kompressor) u no go want sleep for house. Alway u go want dey drive...........its so fun to have a supercharger on demand. My car is so sweet newer models dnt even trip me much.

So can you contribute to that? Just forget about the fuel matter, cos there's a way out..To the best of my knowledge all Benz are meant to be driven on premium fuel if you don't want fuel issue related problems, but that is certainly impossible in Naija. Does it mean that we dont drive benz? of course we do..Let me give you one tip which i have been using over the years, if you have issues because of non additives or premium fuel, just pour a full gallon of thinner or half to your fuel full tank and off you go with power and performance all way round. This is hard to believe anyway, but i am not sure i have time to expansiate on this. But the good news is , it works for me full time, it removes rough idle,jerking, lack of power or drawback from your machine(saving ur plugs to last forever) completely as well as great improvement on performance and economy. It is the best additives i can think of for German machines. So bother yourself not with fuel issue, embrace our local tech, it works. Experiment this , then you'll never turn back again |
Re: Mercedes Benz Thread by Nobody: 5:56am On Aug 01, 2013 |
any thinner?! au.hanson: |
Re: Mercedes Benz Thread by tommysparks: 10:17am On Aug 01, 2013 |
thinner in fuel tank? wont it damage the catalytic cracking unit of the engine? am really scared here.Hanson pls shed more light before i indulge just came across this on nairaland https://www.nairaland.com/129222/where-one-buy-premium-fuel/1 |
Re: Mercedes Benz Thread by Eyop: 12:50pm On Aug 01, 2013 |
My brother that's the same question i keep asking myself. However it all depends on the chemical contents in the thinner that makes it work like the Octane boosters but the measurement really matters a lot. I had already gone through the link you displayed in regards to Octane booster. Just forget about that one because that was also a marketing strategy to sell his product even though it was some how informative. I have gone through a lot of information posted online in regards to the Octane boosters i.e if they are really worth it. Some people mentioned that it is waste of money that they do not work while some mentioned that they only experienced a little change from their usual experience. tommysparks: thinner in fuel tank? wont it damage the catalytic cracking unit of the engine? |
