why debate with someone on price he bought his car...what is your business with that ...if I may ask

Did you read the part where the poster asked “How true could that be?

This is a public forum and asking that question calls for answers. And the last time I checked, we still have the rights to express our opinions on this platform.
So, why are you having issues with our opinions?

oga it can be true or not... depending on the source...it's Tokunbo for Christ sake and there is no fixed price ...it is always bidding and bids don't have fixed price

una too argue here...if you want to buy why don't you go and do research

you can bid for 5,000USD In Detroit and I bid like 2,000. USD in Michigan for the same car

so why una dey argue too much

Hi Star Family,

Pls I need ur guidance here. I just acquired this 2007 C280 4matic foreign used. Car was running fine and smooth until I decided to do oil change and servicing. Wanted to use Mobil1 but Mech advised Total oil. Did oil change and a day after, I started hearing a dangling sound in the bonnet area. Called Mech when I arrived home from work to check, Mech said is the exhaust. After working

.on the exhaust, metallic dangling sound still there. Now he is saying it's from the shaft. I insisted it must have been the oil as the sound wasn't there before. The asked that I bring the car tomorrow. I just got this car few days ago, and these guys have turned it to their lab rat. how do I fix this.
Oil used is Total 20w 50. I am in Abuja...

drain that stuff before you ruin your piston and metal ...

how old is your car? go for synthetic or semi synthetic oil . drain that stuff now or before you start pricing new engine


stop giving your ride to street Corner mechanics ..you are driving a Benz not a corrola or Camry

This is actually what I'm Afraid of this is his first car, and I really don't want him to spend more than he bought the car in less than 3 years, by God's grace I will be getting my first car too by April 14th, for my birthday. I just need a car that will be very easy to maintain.

Hello Everyone,
My Client recently acquired a Mercedes benz ML 350 2013 and the ABS needed replacement because it got water damaged and burnt. A replacement have been fixed but there are several lights on the dashboard . The programmer handling the vehicle is finding it difficult to write the vehicle information into the replaced Part and clear the error Lights. I have verified that the replacement is the same part as the damaged ABS.
We are currently in need of an experienced programmer that really understands what I am describing here and can fix it.

My client has been advised to buy a brand new ABS but it is super expensive. Can anybody help?

Thanks.

Thanks Messrs. Kewtt,
Here is the feedback I promised
I have done as you’ve advised, I noticed serious oil drop after turning the steering. by the time I check the reservoir there was no oil again in the reservoir. So I took it to my mechanic to do a thorough check, the only place we noticed oil was dropping from is from the reservoir connector at the back.
Kewtt:


Wake up in the morning. (Before starting the car)
Jack the front wheels up (suspended in air)
Open the power steering reservoir
Switch on the ignition ( don't start engine)
Turn the steering to the extreme right and left (about ten times) with the front wheels suspended in the air and engine not running.


Remove the jack. Start the car and repeat the turning of the steering with the wheels on the ground.

If both pump and rack are fine, and without leaks.... You'll be okay.

Also ensure that you have the appropriate Mercedes Benz approved power steering fluid in there

Seniors pls how do I know if my car temperature is normal/okay since there's no temperature gauge like the regular Japanese vehicles?

What I've starting my car in the morning was +27°C but sometimes this afternoon it rose up to 40°C and then came down to +34°C and has been there for some time now on the dashboard.

Is this the way to check, if yes, at what temperature do I have to be worried??

if it remains at 60-80 that should be okay…

If not; it’ll give you a check coolant level warning
