cyborg123:True, it just never dies. What other modifications did you do though? |
Re: Mercedes C Class W202: The 3 Pointed Star Never Dies by cyborg123(m): 11:53pm On Jan 17, 2018 |
dumo1: 1. Installation of air cleaner / OEM filter assembly to the engine intake to give the engine clean air. It also gives the engine a characteristic roar. 2. Installation of an Idle Speed Controller + modified IACV to regulate engine speed when the gear is engaged. 3. Changing of two front windows from manual to power windows. I dislike cranking windows manually especially while driving. 4. Installation of a double DIN audio system with better aesthetics and acoustics. 5. Replacement of Instrument Cluster + in-tank fuel sender unit to eliminate erratic fuel guage operation. 6 Integration of an electronic oil pressure monitoring light to the new cluster to monitor the electronic signal from the M111 engine oil pressure sensor. 3 Likes |

cyborg123: How's the movement of this ride. Does it consume fuel so much and how much do u spend on maintainance. |
Re: Mercedes C Class W202: The 3 Pointed Star Never Dies by cyborg123(m): 10:37am On Jan 18, 2018 |
MrBigiman:It moves very well especially when you give it maximum throttle for kickdown. Fuel consumption? I will say very ok. Because of how I drive, I can't say conclusively. Maintenance cost? I only service the engine between 3 - 6 months. The only repairs I have carried out on the engine in 5 years of use is timing chain replacement due to a noted rattling sound. And also belt tensioner replacement. 1 Like |

IkpuMmadu: I once had a crazy friend who drove me in his vboot that has a c-class engine from kano main town to tiga dam and back with full ac on (about 80km) and guess what? the car's engine had less than a litre of engine oil. Never knew until we returned and he confessed. Asked him why he maltreated his car? Says 'the.engine is.built to withstand such' that c-class engine is military grade! 2 Likes |

IkpuMmadu: The three pointed car is king of the road. However, those who don't know about German cars are better off keeping off it. Sad enough, those praising this ride will never also state the complexity of German engineering and how attempting to own a Mercedes has left their fingers burnt. Stick to a good old Toyota until u are prepared for the Mercedes. |

sgtponzihater1: But do you know that Toyota and Mazda parts are more expensive....I have two cars and I can tell you categorically The full engine of c class isn't even upto 100k ladipo but Camry 1999 is around 160k do the maths and so many more 2 Likes |

IkpuMmadu: I have used Mercedes for year and still use one. But truth be told, It's easier to see a good Toyota technician than Mercedes. That itself has left people burnt and unhappy. But any day, I would always go for the 3 pointed star. 1 Like |
