Oga Hanson,
Pls shine more torch on the comment above... Thank U.

Tnx bro. I also went to visit anoda mechanic and he observed it and said its gasket issue. He said if gasket didnt create gap btw the top and the something i cant rember that i ll b hearing that noise. I think wen the previous gasket was changed it wasnt replaced with the original one.
He still said that the black smoke is cause by the air flow meter and i ve tried two but didnt work. I tot wen catalytic converter is bad, i ll be perceiving rotten egg smell from the exhaust? I planned taking to mechanic tomorrow but the worst happen today. My friend just bashed the car with a range rover 2014. The front is finished my broda. I pray the own forgives my car Amen!!!

auhanson:

My brother, sorry dear! That's just how one bad head trailer man condemned my modified 190, that my racer and ran away..just last week. It was driven by my wife , but i really thank God for sparing her life miraculously.

auhanson:

Abeg my guy, let him take that KOMPRESSOR, its an awful machine with such a gearbox, you can 'tap' 'tap' to move like jet. thats machine you've got there boy.

cne010:

Thank God for the life of your wife. God will continue to guide us and protect our family.

It was driven by my wife , but i really thank God for sparing her life miraculously for me else i would have been more miserable than what is miserable, though i feel that my ride so badly than even a new car. i have since taken custody of the engine(as the damage didn't get to it) , once i am done with all the issues at stake i'll look for a very clean body and transplant the engine while building it again to my taste.

Oga Hanson, Long time o. Good to hear from you. I have taken & stuck to the Kompressor. I was told its a powerful machine. Can't wait to feel the BEAST

Oh yeah! u are wetting my tongue.. u dont know how much i love those kompressor machines..A 4 cylinder kompressor,c230 delivers better horsepower, torque and economy than a c240 6 cylinder naturally aspirated stock engine by far. In that beast you can max out 289hp with an economy of about 20/31(city/hgw MPG) unlike c240 of 168hp with an economy of about 19/25(city/hgw MPG) of same model year. Infact you could almost hit the performance of a c320, just about 194hp. And then with the benefit of w203 gearbox equivalent, inwhich case instead of kickdown or downshift you simply tap to make tremendous overwhelming 'shoot out' , no vehicle can stand you while overtaking in this manner. I used a friends own, who just bought it newly and doesn't really understand the car. I was making nonsense of all the cars on the road while travelling to Bayelsa, each time i tap the transmission, our heads hits the headrest with the swiftest movement i have ever noticed, he finally asked me if it was a manual transmission. U need to feel that machine, it's a wonder 4 cylinder..

LoL @ Oga Hanson. You don use big oyinbo scatter my head.
1.Please can you explain how kickdown/downshift is done on a auto transmission of the Kompressor

2.How do I "TAP" to a lower gear, from say gear 5 on the auto transmission of the Kompressor when about to overtake?

3.How do I return back to the auto transmission after TAPPING?

Eyop:
you never see anything yet...just wait until you starting driving that ride. That kompressor depending on who's handling it will beat a 6 Cylinder hands down.I repeat,it will show a 6 Cylinder pepper

tsiriman:

Bros, there is no way you are going to get 289hp from a c230, also the 2005 c320 has about 218hp if I remember correctly, please check your facts again.

But you are correct that the 2004 c240 has 168hp.

yungboss:
hmm, drive an e36 328i first
well I think auhanson meant '189hp not 289

lomomike: No one should bring comparism between merc and other cars. Stick to the topic this is strictly a merc thread.

edubest: Guys pls my w203 check engine light, has been on for a month now and another malfunction display (Brake assist, visit workshop BAS).pls am still new to benz, and where can I fix it in Benin, what is the best engine oil for the Benz, can any synthetic oil be OK.pls reply as soon as possible. 08033804837

pafestula: Pls am begging the MB users who had similar experience of my ordeal with my 2001 W203 before to help me out + the experienced users in the house.
Last two weeks at about 5pm, I drove out my W203 which I parked a day before that evening, on my way going at about 30 km/h within my street, I noticed the engine jacking, I was unable to revv beyond 2000rmp, so I managed it to the nearest filling station, thinking it was due to the low level of the fuel in my tank, which the car has not used to such level I deliberately left the fuel, though the low fuel indicator light never showed up yet, so after filling my tank with N5000, I started the engine and it revved very nice and drove smoothly, which made me conclude it was due to low fuel in my thank.

Some days after... this nonsense repeated itself despite full tank in my tank, this time while on motion, the accelerator failed totally, I switched off the engine and on it back again, and the car back to normal.
On Thursday morning, I started the car in order to move to office, only for this car to switched off itself, and couldn't power itself unless I depress the throttle pedal, I managed it with jacking condition like that to office without A/C, when coming back from office, I drove my normal car with full A/C till yesterday, when I was trying to fill my A/C gas, I depress the gas pedal as instructed by the A/C Guy, only for my gas pedal to failed back to 1000rmp from 3000rmp, off the engine again and on it back, and revved... same problem till I managed to filled little A/C gas and left back to my house, but on my way going home which is about 15km... my car became normal.

Today after cleaning the car and set for church, the worst happened, the car refused to rev beyond 2000rmp, I tried all old methods.. for where? my car turned me down totally, I managed it like that to and fro with tutu..tutu..tutu sound from my engine, A/C MBA! I couldn't turned it on, as that na no go area.

CONCLUSION:- I always have failed gas pedal while on motion, and the car doesn't go beyond 2000rmp.

NOTE:- I tried to scanned this car last 3weeks even before this drama, but the OBD II center... my car is not connecting with the scanning machine.

Please help me with any useful suggestion/contributions. Thanks

Eyop:

Sorry for your ordeal brother. What i suspect is happening to your ride is either the Injector Nozzles or Fuel pump but i know it's fuel related issue. Any error message on your instrument cluster?
