The Mercedes-Benz C300 between the years 2015 & 2018 are not the same as the popular “yahoo” Benz as their power train is completely different. This newer one comes with problems. I highlighted these in the video above. Check it out so you know the problems associated with your N13-17 million C300.

if possible, buy OEM of the said parts from abroad or amazon. It may take a while to deliver but you won’t have gear issues for another 15yrs. I miss driving a manual car. sad

I noticed my car (Camry 2007) was vibrating and the Check Engine Light came up.

I got P0301 after scanning.

What could be the culprit?

Hi guys,

Good afternoon

My favorite car has always been Lexus RX350 2011 model precisely. But with the daily increase in car prices, it is kind of difficult to get one. So I am looking at other options. I want an SUV. Do you think a Toyota Venza can be a good substitute?

Another other options will be appreciated.

The venza and highlander that would have been good substitutes are equally as expensive if not more expensive.

How about an Acura MDX

Please what is the best way to check transmission fluid in Toyota matrix 2004.

When the car is off .. I checked the dipstick it reads in between the HOT marks

Then I warm up the car , for about 15 minutes , engaged in drive and reverse and park .

Then check the dipstick again it's now below/or at the COLD mark . Does it means mean the fluid level is ok??

I think the gear is slipping while am driving and accelerating. So I want to know if the luid is low . Thanks

I have a 2006 toyota corolla that was having hard starting in the morning, it needed to be cranked 2 to 3 times before it starts but drives and starts normally for the day. Took it to the mechanic and the fuel pump was changed. The cold start sensor was also changed and its solved the problem of the hard starting. But now the check engine light is on and its bring P0441 and P0455 error codes. Could this be related to the fuel pump change and if so what can be done to rectify it. I have clear the error code but it normally return in 2 days, Thanks.

cc Gazzuzz

Wow...this was exactly what happened to my corrola 2009, I changed my fule pump and the check engine light came up after 2 days with those two exact code.
I took it to a professional mechanic and he told me not to worry about it that it's just air passage that is causing it. Say make I dey use my car like that, since over 5 months now sef it's cool

Better than those mentioned earlier.
Just requires a bit more maintenance.
It uses timing belt which needs to be changed when due.
The transmission oil requires change after every 40k miles.

Same with the differential and transfer case oil.

Engine oil is same frequency with the Toyotas.

You may wish to avoid the trim with the magnetic shocks. It can be converted to normal shocks though.

Bros, the tin tire me too. Took it to the mechanic to tighten the fuel pump properly and then cleared the code, it came back the following day. Cleared it again and its been 3 days now and its yet to return. I will keep watching it.

Oga Gazzuzz and other car gurus in the house, I need an advice on this car.
A friend of mine wants to sell a Saab 9-3 tokunbo car to me for 1.6mil. Pics below. I intend buying it for my wife for the purpose of school run, going to shop, and going to market only, so no much stress on the car. The distance from my house to my kids school and to shop is no more than 10mins.
I know its not a popular car, can it be able to serve this purpose for at least a year and six months without giving issues?
Is it a problematic car?
I want to price it down to 1.2 and I don't intend to keep it more than two years.
Your advice and suggestions will be appreciated. Below is the car.
