How are you proposing to fix yours?

SBC threshold reset. There is a device for doing that thing,can reset it to let's say 75% so those brake errors it used to show when you are driving will be gone

You see this removing of catalyst ? I am taking it very personal. My place is close to a mechanic village and they come around my hood to do that rubbish. I have told guys around to watch out for them. The next one i catch its kiri kiri straight...even if the owner intervenes he must reach kiri kiri.See except you get the follow come catalyst for the 4 which can cost you about 800k that ride will never be the same.Thank Goodness mine is still intatct.

Your brain is block*d, which is the reason you couldn't decode where I said the issue has been resolved.

Besides, go back to the original posts as regards that, and you will see that you need to look for a weight lifter to hit a sledge hammer on your head to see if your brain could reset, but I doubt if it will ever reset because it is rotten.

You mean... you sat down to type all these?

No I haven't,been looking for it on Jumia or any other store but I haven't found it except on Alibaba. So I guess that's what I will do next. The only time the break error show in my own case is when I drive for long, but once I park ,and switch off the engine,the system will ask me to start the car again and the brake error will disappear till maybe another hours of driving. So what I have resorted to is not to go for long journey until I buy the device

But wait a minute the SBC doesn't even spoil like that except your car is older than 25 years which I doubt . Is your brake still catching? If yes, have you considered doing SBC threshold reset? .

it's a 2005 e320 and yes the brake still catches but not as normal. anytime I did anything relating to brakes that's the problem I face. I know it'll still disappear when I turn off and on engine

This is what I get too when I drive it for long and sometimes it's when I park I get the brake error. That sbc na pure rubbish. I've tried to convert it but the gear won't come out of park

Already made up my mind to sell it (E320 05) abeokuta ..everything works fine aside the general sbc issue but I'll be driving it till I see who got interested.

Ah, conversion keh 😦😦 you want to spoil the car niyen. There is nothing actually wrong with the SBC, it's Mercedes Benz that set the SBC to start doing that trigger when you have reached a certain threshold in the life of the car. So for every time you press the brakes it counts and send the signal to the SBC so all you need is just to add more to increase the threshold from the one set by benz

Good ,but it will still be shipped from China,and you will wait for like three weeks or so. It worth it sha

How do one increase the threshold and when you do , how many brake presses one get. many times I just scan and clear the errors and luckily sometimes it works for the main time

Well I don't know when you bought the car but I have a feeling you didn't buy it new,so all the time the car was used by the previous owner the number of times they pressed the break would have added to the counts(I am not very sure here sha) i think you can continue with your strategy sha,as for me i am not a heavy user,its jut during this christmas time that i noticed it due to the long distance and many places i went,normally i rarely go out or far like that so i don't the error. I will seel the car next year sha.

SBC like every other part of a car can fail given the right abuse or faulty operation or circumstance for it to fail.

No vex ohhh... I am more conversant with civics that's why. But I this his case, coz I can't still grab everything. With what I showed you on the pix and the engine displayed. Should he abort or continue from the pix I just shared.

His own his different. Has he ever used a mercedes before? If not I will advise the M111 engine.

Does he have a reliable technician to fix it? If not he should walk away.

No sir he hasn't at all.... From your previous statement you said his is still pretty reliable meaning it can serve him any pros and cons of that his type?? And could be their main differences with the m111 engine.... Sorry for the questions but I will appreciate in a more plain manner. Thanks so much.

Your engine is number four in the attached picture. In order of reliability and cost effectiveness I'll pick number one and three. And if money is not a problem number four (your engine)

The difference is simple. Cost of maintenance and fuel efficiency. They're quite far apart.

I understand now..... Consumes more fuel and more expensive to maintain. Thank you so much.
