Re: Mercedes Benz Thread by Eyop: 9:47pm On Sep 02, 2014 |
cne010:Geeeeees !!! #170k for new arms That's really expensive bro though i know once replaced,it takes time before an issue is experienced in that area again. |

Spare parts for W203 are kinda pricy. I replaced my CV joints for 130k (2005 MY 4MATIC) last year. The front strut (shocks) are weak and need to be replaced but i'm even scared of asking for the price of a new genuine set. A mechanic told me a pair of tokumbo is about 65k, i'm yet to confirm sha.. |

Na wa ooooh. It means the W202 spare parts are affordable then compared to the W203 and W204 |

Eyop: Drive on the bad road slowly. Sadly the ones we call good roads in Lagos are littered with pot holes. You see a fresh one daily like they are dug overnight. |
Re: Mercedes Benz Thread by danadam(m): 11:04pm On Sep 02, 2014 |
cne010: I try as much as possible to avoid bad roads and I drive very carefully on the ones I can't avoid. I have a 94 civic for the dirty job (bad roads). That way I can curtail unnecessary expenses. |

Hello house My mercedes benz c300 4matic 2008 model refuse to start but all lights and the cd player works perfectly well( ain't battery problems). Have got the car for over 2 years now without any issues until now. Any recommended solution or specialist service centers in or around Portharcourt area? Regards, |
Re: Mercedes Benz Thread by Nobody: 11:22pm On Sep 02, 2014 |
slyboggie: Hello house I'm sorry I think you have the EIS problem pretty popular with the 2008 the car won't recognize the key again. Sadly it costs an arm and a leg to fix here and you might have to wait for new key and EIS from Germany. |
Re: Mercedes Benz Thread by Eyop: 6:28am On Sep 03, 2014 |
cne010: @slyboggie, i concur completely with cne010 that the problem with your w204 is EIS related(common problems with the w204) and my brother budget a minimum of #350,000 for the repairs and it sure will take a while before that is resolved because the new key has to be programmed in Germany. |
Re: Mercedes Benz Thread by slyboggie(m): 8:36am On Sep 03, 2014 |
Eyop: Thanks for the info. Do you have any reliable person around I could reach to fix the problem. At least i should start the process now. |
Re: Mercedes Benz Thread by Eyop: 9:08am On Sep 03, 2014 |
slyboggie: Am not too sure of the Benz mechanic that i know if he can be able to handle the repairs because it's good to use an expert for this type of repairs. On page 48 of this thread, TheGrandMaster had same issue with his own w204 and i will suggest you contact him so he can assist you. When you review his post,he spent money for the wrong diagnosis at the initial time until he was able to get it resolved using the right mechanic. |
Re: Mercedes Benz Thread by Nobody: 9:23am On Sep 03, 2014 |
slyboggie: Sadly you're not in Lagos, I don't know any mechanic in PH that can hook you up. Good to know you haven't been spending money on trial and error. |
Re: Mercedes Benz Thread by yungboss(m): 10:49am On Sep 03, 2014 |
Slyboggie, I don't know where you live but close to eliozu junction, towards Rumuodomaya axis from that roundabout,there's a Mercedes shop about 500m from the roundabout, they repair high end Mercedes cars (forgotten the name). I visited there in the days I had one...it's located along the road... |
Re: Mercedes Benz Thread by Nobody: 6:41pm On Sep 03, 2014 |
cne010:thats tough, i will continue to manage the one i have for now |
Re: Mercedes Benz Thread by slyboggie(m): 7:07pm On Sep 03, 2014 |
TheGrandMaster:@grandmaster It's seems you went through the same problem I am having now. How did you go about it?? |
Re: Mercedes Benz Thread by Nobody: 8:32pm On Sep 03, 2014 |
cne010:the car make some kind of noise from the front whenever i enter potholes, does this require changing the 4 amrs? |

Folks I hail una. This FSS stuff appears on the dash board of my W202 2000 modelC230 Kompressor What does it mean? What can be done about it. Also my instrument cluster doesn't illuminate at night even when I put on the parking light. Any solution?

Re: Mercedes Benz Thread by Nobody: 11:01pm On Sep 03, 2014 |
shoppyanno: Folks I hail una. You won make we fine you? You finally got the w202 and didn't come to appease the gods with quality pics of the machine? Congrats man welcome to the club. Sorry about your instrument cluster light have you checked the fuse? FSS means Flexible Service System I found this on the internet give it a try; 1. Turn electronic key in steering lock to position 2. 2. Within 4 seconds press button 0 twice. 3. The present status for days or distance is displayed. Within 10 seconds turn electronic key in steering lock to position 0. 4. Press and hold button 0, while turning electronic key in steering lock to position 2 again. The present status for days or distance is displayed once more. Continue ot hold button 0. After approx. 10 seconds a signal sounds, and the display shows 10,000 miles for approx. 10 seconds. 5. Release button 0. I get as far as the end of step 4 but the signal does not sound after holding down the button 0 for 10 seconds. |

Sorry house about my late update on my W203. I took it to my mechanic on Monday, and he said it was some water that splashed into my coil, that I should keep using it and watch, lo and behold... I'm still driving smoothly till now. Thank you all. |
Re: Mercedes Benz Thread by shoppyanno(m): 9:26am On Sep 04, 2014 |

Re: Mercedes Benz Thread by tommysparks: 12:13am On Sep 05, 2014 |
shoppyanno: Folks I hail una.remember to change the oil first before clearing the fss signal cos from your dash you are service overdue by 338...miles |

Re: Mercedes Benz Thread by TheGrandMaster: 3:10pm On Sep 06, 2014 |
slyboggie: Hello @ Slyboggie, i apologise for my late response. Please do not let any none merc specialist touch that car. My advice is to tow the vehicle to Mercedes Benz in Lekki, thats the one close to Elegushi beach. They will do a full diagnosis and give you an estimated bill and then you can take it from there. Email me so i can give you the number for someone that works there. **modified** didnt know you live in port harcourt, still shoot me an email and i will give you the guys number, i am sure there will be a solution |
Re: Mercedes Benz Thread by Eyop: 3:15pm On Sep 06, 2014 |
TheGrandMaster: Unfortunately he doesn't reside in Lagos but PHC. Hope yours was properly fixed and performing well since then? |
