23 litres is about 14k at 580 price. so by ur gauge it's normal, I bought 25k at 580 price and it went over half almost reached the point b4 1. w211 e320 same model as urs. what's ur mileage? I'm at 117k and change engine oil every 5k miles

What I normally do is that by end of month I will go to NNPC mega station in Abuja, 45 k @ 617, I will fill my tank to the brim, that will take me for almost 3 weeks plus. One of the secret I discovered is that once I do full thank the fuel doesn't born very fast unlike when I by in piece meal.

Male or female? But you can use straw or a tiny hose. Step one. Strip the fibreglass.... Get a foil to wrap the two ends then insert both ends inside the straw or hose to ensure they're always aligned.

NNPC is the cheapest here in Abuja, some station even sell 680-700 in Abuja. I drive 211 I only drive from office to back home every day, I leave in outskirts of Abuja and if I want to buy on weekly bases 12 - 15 thousand weekly is ok for me. I think the fuel consumption is even far better than other brand of cars.

You are right on that fuel consumption,I get confused when people always pitty me because of fuel consumption. And I am someone that always use AC. I hardly drive without it and I still don't feel like the car is consuming fuel

Hello everyone.
I am a new Benz user.
C280 2007 4Matic
1 The key can't lock, unlock and open booth. I use manual key to unlock the driver's side.
How can I set/program the key to function well.
2 The car radio is Japanese, can I program it to English or I will have to buy another one?

Check the batteries in the keyfob.
There should be a way to change language on the command. Try you tube.

Is your booth lock connection intact? Language can be changed. As advised look for a YouTube video on that.

I open the booth via a botton on the driver's door side.
Where can I get the remote to work, any recommendation.?

I finally tried this, it didn't work. I guess there is a reason they actually made that loop bypass cable. Cause even though the lights from my optics were consistent, and not blinking meaning it's looping perfectly but no audio. I did at the amplifier and also the control interface module under the glove box. If anyone is having any audio issues on their mercedes, I am about to order the loop bypass cable. We can import together it will be cheaper.

The C230 and C280 carry the same M272 engine, while the C240 and C320 are powered by the M112 engine mated to a 5 speed tranny the latter are matted to a 7 speed transmission.
While the M272 is not as rugged as the M112 (it's actually the immediate replacement for it) it is more fuel efficient and faster too.
The last I checked the M272 engine would buy 2 M112 engines plus one tranny.

You have serious issues, young man. You mean someone coming to a Mercedes Benz forum to make enquiry is not part of research? Must you comment even if you have nothing reasonable to say?
