megastu: Hello House, Due to conversations in this thread, i decided to get a 1999 C180 from holland. The car just arrived. I will share the pictures. However, the issues i have is that 1. the mileage is about 380k, is this ok for a benz? 2. the remote key is refusing to respond, although i have gone to change the batteries of the remote. It worked from the port to where i parked it. Only for it not to work now.

The 3rd issue is that the car is low. I understand i can raise it a bit. Is this ok. Advice will be appreciated. Thanks

Eyop:
You welcome sir. Am glad you've seen that on youtube and was easy for you to have that sorted out,but was there any improvement after cleaning/replacing the filter? As for the leakage,let's hope it isn't from the compressor but another area might be the condenser or evaporator but a good AC technician will detect and have that sorted out.

desktop:

Thanks boss i pretty much guess theres still a leak as this has not improved it. Glad to change the filter anyways...way too much dust even for a mud flap. Im still in need of the good ac repair person o.

cne010:

If you're in Lagos just find your way to trinity in apapa around Berger the gear shouldn't be more than 35k and the gear seller would find someone to fix it for your right there and if it requires programming all will be sorted out. Repairing costs more sometimes.

cne010:

Would get more later when I have washed it proper.

cne010: Still on my new baby w203 C320 I was bored today I stay on the mainland around omole phase 1 and decided to fire down to the island and back to unleash the V6 and oh boy the car moves and turns I was meandering all through.

Here is the monster in question.

Megatone: Just got meself a 2004 C200 kompressor. Brethren i most say its the best car i have driven so far. The suspension, stability, acceleration and comfort. But i have a little challenge, i don't know the right engine oil for servicing cus i dont want to take chances. Any suggestion would highly be appreciated.

Philadelphia:

How much did you get this baby? I'm planning to get one by next month.

cne010:

For a good one with clean history and low mileage budget 1.3 to 1.5m.

Eyop:

auhanson, what type of private Scanner will you recommend for a W204 Mercedes Benz user?

cne010:

This sounds juicy I wish I know where I can get this done in Lagos, driving very fast with my w203 car is addictive I drive the car more like it's stolen.

auhanson:

My brother , the STAR scanner is still the best way to go, because it has a heap of comprehensive faults it can read both in the interior can bus,gear box, ac and so on. You know Mercedes can be very thorough with their stuff, though these could be too handed and dear for our pocket.

However, i use the very cheap but versatile Autel MaxiScan MS509 Car Diagnostic fault code reader tool / OBDII & OBD Scanner that Works for MOST Cars & Vehicles. It does OBDII AND MB CODES, That's just enough for me and my friends, though i hadly use it any more for quite a while now as my MB "no dey spoil again".

Eyop:
auhanson have really missed you on this forum. The bolded really made me LOL . Even if the benz spoil,oga go fix am shap shap. Thanks for the information and i will find out about the price of the STAR scanner and also read more about it. Any scanner that can read faults comprehensively is ok by me.

auhanson:

Lol!!! so i'm enjoying ur posting everywhere i turn my back, thats why u see me tip toe small small behind you.

Eyop:
Oga the reverse should be the case. I am following your footsteps and i am always loyal to the Boss anyday anytime .

inze:

You definitely would not like to hear the sound of an Original STAR Scanner, Trust me . . .

auhanson:

my bro, you are doing great work here and elsewhere, and i'm just proud of you all d way, gudos

Eyop:
Thank you sir

Eyop: @auhanson,inze,smartchoice,cne010,etc, A member of this thread suggested creating a medium(e.g BBM channel) by which members could easily communicate or exchange ideas should there be an issued faced with this brand i.e, this done outside Nairaland. Imagine a situation that a member encounters a problem on the highway and needs to get that resolved immediately,doing that on this thread will not achieve the immediate attention it requires and i guess there's a point made by him(shoppyanno). I am re-visiting that suggestion and felt i should throw it open for others that might be interested to contribute on how this could be accomplished.

Cheers.

Philadelphia:

Nice one but the BBM pin previously displayed was a wrong one. I tried adding but it was not a pin.

Eyop:
Who created the BBM Channel?

shoppyanno: Hello MB family.
It is high time we had a Official Mercedes Benz Group on BBM or WhatsApp.
This is to afford us the opportunity to link up & interact easily while getting INSTANT feedback.
Similary, this is also germane to receiving solutions INSTANTLY to mechanical/electric problems when stuck or stranded.
I have observed the Peogout Thread(LION Family) & seen the great work Ikenna is doing.
The Lion family in Abuja hold meetings & discuss issues bothering on their Lions. This has really helped them.
The Mercedes Benz thread (STAR Family) we can do better & ought to set the pace.
This is a clarion call to the Elders; AUhanson, Eyop, Cne010, SmartChoice.
Long Live Mercedes Benz thread!!!
Long Live the STAR Family.
