But for the w 204 with eis fault, no Benz smart key would ever fail without giving signs except the driver is the kind that doesn't pay attention to little changes. It cannot just suddenly fail. And besides the latest model cla, glc and Co are equipped with push button. People are embracing keyless and smart driving now. If you still insist on conventional keys in 2017, then don't buy recent models. Even a 1998 c class w202 and e class w210 have some with smart keys. Bottom line, they never fail without giving signs
well said bro.
my benz has a smart key and no issues for 3yrs and counting. I travel a lot never have been disappointed.

I don't like the smart keys. Hence I would not advice a Merc without traditional keys. Not worth the TROUBLE!

I will advise you go for a physical examination.

@ Ojeshola, if your "catalyst" has been removed, then your problem is most likely a failing fuel pump.

Brabus Nigeria gave us the GLE & C450 to drive to the Xmas Autofest. We ended up drag racing them on Akin Adesola, Victoria Island!

I think he's talking about parasitic drain of the battery power. Note the alternator keeps the battery charged after a drive. But it drains overnight! He needs a technician who can trace the leak.
pls sir what is your take on MB c180 with manual transmission and what year model can you recommend for student pls put cost of purchasing, fuel economy, part availability and second hand value in mind.thanks

Apart from the repair trouble, there could be security risk. I watched a video how car thieves stole a late model Mercedes parked at owner's drive in within seconds.

They came with a device which picked the transponder's signal from the house (they took the device to the window to do that), and relayed it to the car, fooling it to think the key was with them. The lights flashed and they entered and drove off. The ish about these smart keys is that they are always transmitting.

This happened in less than 20 seconds! Hope those guys don't come down here.

The check oil level light indicates that ur engine oil is low....if u know how to check the oil level by pressing d buttons on d dashboard, you will be able to see the amount of oil you need to add.

as for BAS n ESP.....change your break light switch, its located under the break pedal.
Good luck.

Hi Gurus in d house, ps how many fuel pump does a c240 has? Since I left d car with one kazeem over fuel pump issue d car has been nightmarish. After buying fuel and starting d car, within minutes d car will stall and on inspection will notice that all d fuel has been pumped to the other chamber and none to d engine. Many Kazeem hv tried to sort this but to no avail, rt now there r 2 pumps there, one In each chamber, as d fuel is being pumped to d second chamber chamber, d other pump returns it to the first chamber. With all these d car is still not moving well. Ps Gurus, ur advices are badly needed here.
