So does that mean that my anticipated c230 kompressor is a no go? cry

..just hoping that one day we will find an after market kits of our BENZs, that will definitely be affordable just like our after market spare parts..I pray that one day we start finding them here in our regular "belgium" market

Don't give up....factory fitted is different from aftermarket fittings.

Sorry I'm just seeing this. Good to know the car still runs at least saving you money you would have spent to tow it to a Mechanic.
secondly your needs to under a Star scanner that would pin point the exact problem and take Guess work out. where in Lagos are you? My Mechanic can handle it I'm sure. He is located around Ifako Beside Italian Tiles and Marbles. 08029498260 Code Red Technology.

Thank you very much bruv, i'm not in Lagos but the car is very close to Ifako, I'll definitely send a trusted hand to take it there and keep you posted......Sadly I hear it doesn't start anymore so it'll have to be towed sad sad

Hi every one. Can anyone tell me where to replace my MB 202 (C230K) a/c 'module'. Cos my technician just ran a direct connection of the Fan such that when I start the car, the fan starts spinning automatically contrary to the initial factory settings... when asked why and if any implication he said 'no problem' and that the 'module' is bad that's why whenever the A/C comes on,the fan doesn't spin which results in hi temp...and that the module is not usually available here in Kaduna.
The thing is I'm nt comfortable with this reconnection and wouldn't be happy if anything goes wrong later. Pls ur suggestions!

Hello Everyone,

I know this is predominantly the C class thread as everyone here owns a C class tongue. I have been looking at getting a W211 E350 for the wife and my initial assessment in abuja is that they go for 2.1 - 2.6 million naira. Is this about right or am i looking at really terribly bad cars that will go pop in the firstt few months.

What do i also need to look out for when purchasing one of these cars.

I deally looking to trade in her 2003 Accord V6 and adding money to get one of these.

Advice me folks.

I had wanted to treat this but couldnt post on nairaland then, not untill today..this module is found in our spare part market, but fairly use ones and it goes for about 5k. I bought mine there when i reconnected back my cooling system/ ac to factory. I have the circuit diagram for all the wire termination and connections, even if yours were messed up like mine.

Great Benz enthusiasts, I need your help. I drive a GL 450..Yesterday, while I was in traffic, the engine just stopped. I managed to restart the SUV after a couple of trials. However, the movement was not smooth. It kept stalling and would not rev. It was like it would stop again any minute. I managed to get it home sha. By that time, the check engine light had come on. I used my Launch scanner and it picked P2006 (intake manifold stuck open - bank 1) as well as P0300 (several cylinder misfires) .Has anybody had this issue before? Also, the SUV is kindda bouncy now. Not too bad but noticeable. My suspension is.suspect. Please share your experience and views with me. Its my first Benz and barely 3months old. Guess I got an unpleasant baptism with Benz.

Don't panic. This is no issue. Its a fuel system problem. If u we're using premium fuel or extreme fuel treatment, it wouldn't have happen in the first place. Just do a thorough cleaning/replacing of your plugs, clean up your throttle body, nuzzle etc and all will be well. After then make sure you use Xft/ premium fuel for your car to completely clear this and to avoid future occurrence.

God bless you bro. You are so correct. I just took the SUV out for a ride on the expressway today. Filled some fuel in the tank to at least raise the fuel level a bit. It rode fine and normal. No issues whatsoever. I didnt go so far though, as i have not checked the plugs and nozzles like you advised. I will have my Mechanic do that over the weekend.
My other concern now is the suspension. Its slightly bouncy now, though a friend told me that when the suspension is bad, the height would continually drop when it is parked. I ve not experienced any drop though.

auhanson is correct my brother and for sure,the problem you experienced is fuel related and nothing more. I have experienced same some years ago so just follow his advice. Is your GL450 suspension airmatic?

I would Advise you go to Konga and Jumia and get extreme fuel treatment I'm even surprised you drive the car in that condition.

Check your tyre pressure and hope they well inflated. The tyre pressure is on the door panel don't listen to the Vulcanizers that insists on 50 and 60 PSI.

Also check your power steering fluid often the GL is known for chewing it's steering rack another expensive fix.
