SmartChoices:

Sports shocks are usually firmer than ordinary ones

skj1377:

Car not scrap nor do i have money to waste just needed to change them for better driving ecoerience. Though am not a mechanic but this is my second benz and i know what to replace and for what reasons.

skj1377:

Thank you very much
We are thinking of buying the part from Mercedes Benz and shipping it down to Nigeria
What we need is someone who actially knows what they are doing to fix it

The engine also cuts out at least once on every journey
We have replaced the fuel filter twice

skj1377:

Call him or take car to him he has all the best hands in ladipo just that you might need to book ahead shock replacement is 3 k and it takes only ten mins

GAZZUZZ:

Yes i keep old parts , i have a parts dump at back of my house i dont like the idea though but what i do is i sell the car with all the used and spare parts. Its one of my strong selling points when i want to get rid of the car. The buyer sees a car with plenty parts in boot and feels the car is well maintained.
But in the case of this benz the radiator has a physical damage . The tyres are useless i sold them all 4 k. When i change the shocks 4 8k i will keep the old shocks,Am thinking of importing shocks at 6 5k from usa. I changed ac gas and added compressor oil. I use forte oil synthetic to service the car its 4 times better than mobil 1 accordin g to my calculation using my cars computer.
If you see the pic you will see the radiator at the back seat.

tearoses:
Please can anyone recommend a good mercedes benz mechanic in Lagos please

Had concluded on buying a Toyota Camry 2003 next month but when I mentioned it to a close friend he would hear none of it but wants me to go for a mercedes c class 2003 instead. I feel he is biased cos he owns a mercedes. Really I know very little about cars and there's safety in the multitude of councels. PLEASE your advice will really be appreciated. Thank on anticipation.

GAZZUZZ:


Does your cars computer calculate oil grade and viscousity?

chucky234:

What i'm i seeing ..but why do you have to change the sport shocks that many of us are dyeing for, why nna? Do you know that many can bet their testicle for it?

You would have altered the perfect sporty balancing of the car and the sporty beauty we like to see but may now make your car resemble some kind of antelope.
Let me beg you to retain the sport shocks and sport tyres, if they came with that. It plunge some outstanding beauty,especially if you match with low profile tyres with some beautiful rims.. you need to see ma Benz

Also, be careful what you are doing with the electricals of that car, dont mean any offense. If you may have to change battery , make sure you are giving it same or higher capacity battery if the one there is bad.

if i may ask , why do you want to change the radiator?

skj1377:


yes my s430 does using c3 scanner it might not be exactly viscosity and oil grade the way you think but its more like oil quality on scale of 1 to 9 or 14 then a threshold value as well as the calibrated value of the current oil quality inside . Also, on long journeys and fast driving for like 12 hours it might advice you to change oil,i think there are some sensors and algorithms programmed on the ecu that actually calculates oil quality.
In the case of mobil 1 my car starts indicating change oil after driving 4000km within two and half months only, secondly if i drive say at 215km/h for a few mins it starts indicating change oil even though i changed oil two days ago. luckily with forte oil synthetic i have not experienced any of the above under the same driving condition hence my conclusion.
