I heard those octane boosters dont work but i am a fan of liqui moly injector cleaners and octane boosters. Once i saw a guy in an X6 at the fuel station and he had a carton of the liqui moly injector cleaner in his booth. Then Laolu told me a lady who never fuels without them(high end car) , the brother drove the car and failed to use them ,the result was catastrophic.

So spoke with midoda and he suggested using liquo moly 5w40 for my C300, even after I went to Mercedes Benz company to change my fuel filter they only had Mobil 1. So I want to ask the house, not midoda, can I use liqui moly? Engine oil? And is it the same quality with Mobil1? This is my first Benz oo, I no wan hear story that touch.lol
very good oil, I do use their top tec transmission oil for my 7G Tronic

Nice thread

I have been fortunate to drive 3 good 190's from 2001 till date,

All direct from Stuttgart Germany and i can gladly inform any one of Y'all here

That no one can match the speed of my 190 wiv any other benz product here,

why do y'all think im bear the name 190 cos of its uniqueness,bulit and turgidity which i love most

Im also into C-Classes and B-Class (although it looks too weak for my likin) but im not a Big fan of the V-Boot,A-Class and e-class

I am a specialist in benz products and fortunately some fews jeeps and a yaris, I have never driven any car not even a camry except a

benz

NEXT UP FOR ME IS THIS CAR HERE,

190 is a car. I used one for good 18 years before I sold it, that car was an iron horse. It never fails anything I call it to start and drive. Benz is something else. I want to try an E class to get another experience though I love the look of the 2005 c class

yeah, I've been driving for three days now with the 5w40 and my mileage is at 89k though. All I hear is smooth flow of my engine. Infact I noticed a difference from my old colored oil.

Good evening all,my Benz c230 1999 model is refusing to start,all lights come on when the key is put and makes a sound like it's about to start,but it won't start.

I recently changed the alternator,and I use the recommended battery.

I called a rewire and he said it might be the ignition

Please I need ideas of what I can try.

Isn't it obvious who poverty has defeated.

Ofcourse it is you and probably the main reason why you always snap a full picture of your self with the cars you buy and post on nairaland.

When will you entertain us with a picture of all your village people round the car?

Make sure you buy a new condenser also and let them flush the system before installing.

thank you boss, they told me my compressor is good and nothing wrong with it that I'll have to return it, then change new condenser and expansion valve and then they flush and vacuum it. They said they can also flush the compressor if they find the virus etc.

Car cools when in motion but stops when idle. But once you turn it off and on again when Idle, then it cools well, but immediately you move, it cuts and then only cools when in motion

My car (C300 2010) starts to vibrate when I start accelerating.

Had someone look at it, he said it either the tyres or shocks. How true is this?

A few things can cause this...

Bad tirres: check for racked or
swollen tires.

bad steering nockles: this can make your steering wheel vibrate while on speed above 40/60mph.

Bad wheel balance: this can make your steering vibrate at speed above 60km/hr or 80/100km/hr.

Bad Break Disc: This mainly occurs when you step on your break pedal while on top speed you'll feel a vibration on your steering wheel as your leg is on your break pedal but when you release your leg from the break the vibration dies off Immidiately.

Alignment can only make you steering wheel deviate from the normal or straight position while driving on a straight road and will make your tire warn out quickly... Bad bushing and tyriod can cause this.

What you experience has nothing to do with shock absorbers

No scanner will show you these because they're not electrically built the signs are clearly stated for a lame man to know. If you can't detect them yourself get an experience hands to help test drive your car.
That mechanic that told you it's your shocks be careful with him o e get why.

Good evening house, I recently got a W211 E320.
What are the common faults on this ride and what should I look out for?
Re: Mercedes Benz Thread by ariesbull: 6:55am On Mar 02, 2022

The technology inside those Audi/Volkswagen recent models are too complicated for our regular car mechanics here.

Its always good to make deep research before buying any product, not even only automobiles.

Even ordinary phone, if i want to buy, i always make inquiries upon numerous research before purchasing,so as to avoid, had i know.

To your friend, i wish him best of luck though.

Do you know that not every mechanic of Toyota can fix 2GR Toyota engine... The V6 in venza etc... The engine is complicated also.

stop using fake rewire... The problem of your car isn't up to 4k...

It is called crank position sensor... It js a small sensor beside the steering rack in the engine

It is a simple problem... Go and take back your alternator please
