Yes and No. it is hard for anybody to know this except the person that has done his due diligence on the car.
.Find a good tech to check the transmission oil level and see if it related to your issue.
Seems both d rubber and d filter, changed them, d leaking stopped and d gear selected well

Who can recommend me where to get a coolant for c300 MB 2010

Hello Guys,
In relation to refilling catalyst as I previously pointed out that I know somewhere in Ladipo that you can have it done.
This is what I mean. See pics.
I have seen them do it before in my presence. People frequent there as the patronage level is high. If you don’t get there on time you might have to come the next day.
So what they do is They will remove the catalyst from the car and fill with the content from this container and then make good the the body and re-install back to it location. Please critic this method.
Is it a good practice for car knowing that follow come catalyst is EXPENSIVE.

They refill with new,i know this one

If it not panadol ,it can never be like panadol. wink.
If u know what is good for vehicle, kindly flee .(Den say den day and copy copy no go kill us for this naija ), grin .It not a story again that naija peeps ignorantly pay kazeems to destroy their cars in name of "reduce cost " so this one is not an exception too . That people are rushing it ,does that make it right ?, I know we can be so gullible grin and when it get to vehicle parts there is nothing like one- part -fit- all unless it a toy car cheesy which is why there is concept of parts number: this is a guide of what parts matches which vehicle model eg which part number of cat will work with this vehicle model.Ladipo parts seller doesn't know this cos they want to take your money anyhow there own is "we go work am" grin. We that are more literate should know better this than to be taken for granted.
If you cannot afford the "follow - come" catalyst ,leave the space hollow, it is not compulsory you must use a cat. And if must get rid of the dreaded cat P0420 codes ,there way u can do without breaking the banks , check this forum , some year model support that effectively, even there option of cat- del using chip tuning ,Google is your friend. cool

Good day Benz Fam.
Please I am having issues with my w211 2005 E320 SBC.
I intend to replace it with a brand new one (as it's been replaced with a fairly used one that did not last) and I learnt the VIN is required to get the compatible SBC.
Please I need assistance with the SBC code for VIN: WDBUF65J14X115822.
Thanks.

What did you do to your fuel pump assemblage to cause it to run continuously without break? What is responsible for your always open nozzles?

I don't get. Pardon me.
I'm thinking no two SBCs can have same code/serial number.
Is it even possible getting a new one in Nigeria?
Because the last one bought was tokunbo and didn't even last long enough.

The 03-06 w211 is a GREAT sedan if not for this dreaded SBC issue & some minor electrical glitches.
I learned instead of outright replacement of the SBC, it can be reprogrammed & can still be used.
Btw, how much is the current cost of SBC pump?

The pump itself doesn't spoil like that.... The accumulator and electrical brushes are what spoils therein.... Accumulator can be replaced. The brushes can be replaced too.... Then the whole thing reprogrammed or allowed to self purge

Thanks for this info bro. I really need to be informed on this SBC stuff. How often do the Accumulator & brushes fail & what's the cost of replacing these components? Because it seems almost every w211 i have come across has "BRAKE WARNING, VISIT WORKSHOP" on their instrument clusters.

They said I should come ask here. I just got a small boo, a 2013 C300 AWD.

1. Need advice on the best plug for break pads

2. Advice on the best oil to use for the change

3. Original oil filter plug if in the house

4. Do and don’t of the car advise would be highly appreciated

5. Lastly, for the AC can I top up the AC gas or empty it and refil with a new one altogether

Thanks all and God bless you as you help a brother
Re: Mercedes Benz Thread by joefit4gur(m): 11:45pm On Aug 02, 2021
The rear left door of my ML350 W164 was machine-gunning. When the lock button is pressed, all other doors lock except the rear left door, it gives a machine gun sound as if it wants to lock but is triggered back up.

The rewire said he'd need to change the central lock, when I got back. The part he claimed was removed had a part number of an R350 actuator lock A2517660125, and not a W164 ML350.

Now I'm thinking, he didn't replace the lock, he repaired it, charged me for a new one, and dumped a bad R350 lock that probably has been lying in his shop strictly for this purpose. Now I want to ask: Will the part number A2517660125 of a R350 work for a W164 ML350 model?
