cessna150: There are recommendations that c400 is better and it's most likely true. C300 is not as strong. |

OfficialDJ: Do you still have the contact of the person? I’m not opposed to doing this because my truck specifically shared suspension bits with Jeep Grand Cherokee due to Benz being owned by Chrysler then. Thanks. |

EgunMogaji2: Daimler's acquisition of Chrysler failed because the professed goal of “integration” proved genetically incompatible with the predominantly German belief in the purity of the Mercedes brand and the expectations of its customers worldwide. https://www.google.com/url?sa=t&source=web&rct=j&url=https://www.detroitnews.com/story/business/columnists/daniel-howes/2018/05/09/years-merger-equals-stands-cautionary-tale/34741549/&ved=2ahUKEwi-oZ6VytX7AhX5aqQEHcqpBkIQFnoECAQQBQ&usg=AOvVaw1KBO6Z2BBudoQ0wRbYWKWN |

Re: Mercedes Benz Thread by tunene: 12:16am On Dec 01, 2022 |
Benz lovers, Good evening. My soul wants to buy a Benz GL450 2013/14/15 model but then I am afraid of what issues that big car can bring. Most of the ones in the market are US used with more than 100k miles on them. I am not one that has time to tinker with cars. I would rather start the car, get easy repairs and move on but I just hate the Toyota Highlander or Honda Pilot, too bland. Yet, I have got a family to move around with everyone on their seat. Should I run away from this car or its a good buy? What are the likely issues? Does this Benz also suffer from electrical problems? Expecting your advise with thanks. |
Re: Mercedes Benz Thread by Kewtt: 7:42am On Dec 01, 2022 |
tunene:Enjoy your life. Suffice for a day is the day's own problems. If your heart desires the gl450 or the gelandewagen and you can afford it, please go for it. Enjoy your life.... |
Re: Mercedes Benz Thread by Kewtt: 7:49am On Dec 01, 2022 |
EgunMogaji2:Please replace with some after market that have been reputed to be better than the Mercedes Benz balloons. The conversion may turn into a downward spiral with different attendant issues. Like balance being an SUV, I had same with my w211 E500 that was converted to normal shocks. Then as someone pointed out, can you live with the error messages on your dash... |
Re: Mercedes Benz Thread by Kewtt: 7:55am On Dec 01, 2022 |
ariesbull:Your personal preference duly noted. But I make bold to say that this argument is neither here nor there. 1. If your engine has sludge already, you're better off with semi synthetic and mineral oils. Reason: synthetic oils will wash off the sludge formed inside the engine which may lead to blowbys hence shortages and in extreme cases smoking. However if you are meticulous, you can still go ahead and change to synthetic oils while carefully monitoring the impact on your engine as regards shortages in oil levels. If such shortages is above the normal thresholds then semi synthetic oils or mineral oils for you! |

Pls Help!!! My rear SAM 2011 ML 350 4matic last batch was stolen from Wharf. I need to purchase it now, my challenge is that the car has been delivered to me in Abuja. I need a trusted dealer I can get it from in Ladepo and waybill it to Abuja for me and it should be working. |
Re: Mercedes Benz Thread by awesome9ja: 2:57pm On Dec 01, 2022 |
Sir, To buy SAM that will work with your car does work that way o. You need to test first and ensure it’s working properly before paying o. From experience you might need to drive down to the part seller. Then he will test your ride with as many SAMs as possible. The reasons for this is if he test with the first SAM everything may work but if you do not check properly you won’t know your fuel gauge and front seat or wiper not responding . So you have to test until you get a tokunbo that works well. PromiseUche: 4 Likes |

awesome9ja: I went to market in Abuja, they brought like 4 (164 model 2006 - 2008) but my fuel gauge did not rise. Mine is 2010/2011 Model Last Batch. Thanks for your prompt contributions tho. |
Re: Mercedes Benz Thread by awesome9ja: 4:01pm On Dec 01, 2022 |
If I may add you may need to do some digging up and investigaion. This is the first time I am hearing they stole SAM at Wharf. The location of this SAM. Will it permit easy theft in port. Hope it’s wasn’t stolen while been delivered. PromiseUche: |

Hello Benz lovers. I have a w204 Mercedes Benz C300 4matic with a very terrible exhaust. The exhaust according to the mechanic has been welded before and catalyst removed. The mechanic is suggesting a replacement of the whole exhaust and estimated a fairly used to be N800k. Only exhaust 800k ? Is it possible? |

EgunMogaji2:/ That's should have been the first thing to do. Convert the airbags suspension to traditional spring suspension. The kit comes with an error override harness that turns off dashboard display suspension error messages. If you replace the airbag, there is no guarantee that it won't leak again next week considering the "nice" roads we have in Nigeria / 1 Like |
