Chichilas: Gentlemen,

I am glad to now be part of this great forum. I just purchased a 2007 Mercerdes benz ML350 4matic. However, immediately after purchase, I noticed that the battery was bad as it ran down at a filling station. I then jump started the car and drove to a shop to purchase a new 100 AMP battery.

The problem is upon fixing the new battery, my Daytime running lights which are normally on as soon as I engage gear to drive have stopped working. Can anyone in the house give me an insight into what the possible problems are? Is it possible that the battery I purchased is not fully charged yet and so the DRL will not work or have the DRL bulbs gone bad all of a sudden? I had a similar problem with my Honda accord after I changed the batteries but the light came on after a few hours of driving.

Your quick responses will be highly appreciated.

nannymcphee: Pls can someone check these links & tell me which one to pick

The 1st link is preferable than the 2nd. Though both have exterior defects which will require some touches because i noticed rust. The prices too aren't the same but in all,mechanical aspect of it matters and i do hope you have someone that will inspect that for you before you purchase.

nannymcphee:

Thanks, someone will go check it, this weekend

I was wondering why the second one had that mileage considering the year

desktop: Hello folks please does anyone know where i can get a good air conditioning repair person for the w211 in Lagos? There seems to be a leak somewhere each time its gassed after a couple of days its back to no cooling. Firstly only the passenger side vents blow cool (nothing to write home about type) then the whole thing just goes out.
Thanks.

Eyop:
I don't know of a professional that i can recommend but other members will advise you. As for the vent,i guess your filter is blocked and i suggest you check your filter for the blockage.

desktop:

Hmmm! That makes a whole lot of sense. Thank you sir! Can this be done easily or do i have to get someone to do this? *saturday morning activities cancelled*

Eyop:

It can be done personally if you want to. But since you said you already have an issue with your AC which mostly likely should be a leakage,i suggest an AC man does that for you. But if you are not ready for the repairs soon,i can search and post a video illustration for you sir.

desktop:

Thanks boss, actually saw a clip on youtube on getting this done, pretty easy. Now to find that really good ac repair man (or woman) who can get this gas leak thing sorted once and for all.

Megatone: Hello brethren
Please i ve an issue wit d key of my w203. it fell on d floor and stopped working. I cant open the car nor start the car. The red led lite on d remote doesnt show wen i press d button. Any idea on wat might b wrong ?
Thanks

Chichilas: Well,

When I experienced this with my Honda accord upon changing the batteries, I did nothing and after 2-3 hours of driving, the lights came on. I was told by my electrician that the DRL did not come on immediately because the battery was new and not fully charged.

I want the house to clarify if this scenario can apply to a Mercedes Benz before I decide next course of actions.

Waiting..

shoppyanno: Hello folks. How una dey?
I wana appreciate you all for your advice. Can't but give a big shout out to Oga Eyop, Smartchoice, cne010, auhanson.
Below are some pics of the 2000 model C230 Kompressor

cne010:

I even have more bad news;
It's 65k for Toks the complete one 2 arms on each side.
The new one is 170k
Fake is 12k per arms.

The choice is yours.

shoppyanno:
The rust issue seems to be common as I also have some rust patches by the drivers door of mine.

auhanson:

Rusting in Benz scares a lot of people, even auto professionals , but i bet you , its isn't a big deal. The secret of rusting in Benz is washing them and rinsing out regularly with water, mopping out the wetness(including all the cleavages and hideout) to dryness. With these, you will never experience rust affected areas in your Benz.

When you first bought your Benz, deal with the rusting hideout first, by thoroughly sanding out and respraying just these areas, then follow them up with the advice above and you will never relate your Benz with rust anymore. My first Benz for 8 years now before the recent accident, never had a single rust in any of the hide out because of this practice. Same with my recent Benz, of course i'm not expecting any rust too wit this formular, and she is always neat.

Demdem:

The name of the place is Benz affairs.

auhanson:

Also, if your original ones get bad you can rework them to last almost forever.

Eyop:

Hello TSAT,

Spark plugs could cause misfiring ...

So many Octane boosters in the market but very few works as claimed.

Muoweta: Gud morning friends please I've got an issue with a c180. It encountered serious erosion and water peenetrated d transmission. D water has been drained n transmission oil fixed and transmission Programmed too. It will select normally when raving with it but later returns back and stops selecting beyond gear 2.
When programmed again it repeats d same cycle again,,,,,,,,,,
Please I need ur assistance as mechanics are already running out of ideas before they do more harm than good,,,,,,any form of advice will be appreciated.
Thanks

auhanson:

Infact, opposite that place too under the bridge, after the filling station, there is another guy who broke out from the Benz affairs. He knows his onions well , he use to fix my friends s class and all types and manner of Benz with complete set of diagnostic tools and good sense of Benz electricals, his bills are even moderate compair to Benz affairs, but he has a serious problem of keeping to appointment. if you can tolerate that, then you are good to go with him.

Demdem:

Am interested in this person u are talking about however there is no bridge opposite benz affairs. The only recognisable facility there is a newly completed Mobil filling station. Do u have further accurate details about this person in question?

auhanson:

Sometimes when we explain things, in a bid to quickly go away, we assume that the guy overthere could just figure it out..sorry about that my brother.. By that i meant the bridge by Eliosu junction, by your right handside, immediately after the bridge as if you are going to stadium road, pause by the filling station just by it and turn right through a narrow road. Continue along that road(not a very impressive road to drive) and take your left turn, by the left of your left turn , you will be greeted by all sort of manner of Benz ranging from coupe to sedan to suv's and cuv's awaiting attention, by now no Angel will tell you that this is the guy. He drives in a w202 Blueblack Benz . He is a young guy with pair of lenses and usually on boots, i hadly interacted with him else i would have known his name, was just turn off by the "appointment issues". Funny enough i dnt even know the name of the street, but this description will take you there right on spot.

I took a friend there and just drop him off, when a local mechanic boy interchange his battery terminals(swap positive to negative) and kickstarted his W203, wrecking all sort of havoc to the already overloaded car electricals fuses and relays and what have you. He corrected it and sorted out things well with the MB standards, he even went a step further to correct all the bypassed usually done by the local mechanics on that car and went a step further to correct the cooling system to standard but made it compliance to our local weather as well as installing compatible sets of radiator condenser and compressor to work as appropriate using factory settings.
