Not just ringing, you should be considering crankshaft, valves and possibly the engine block and ofcourse all the seals and gaskets.....You are so unfair to that engine man.... 😂 Gotocourt: |

geezyk:No engine as as rugged as big Daddy engine. My mechanic told me that he is not happy with anybody using big Daddy because that means mechanics will go hungry. |

Benz C230 last batch, 2007. It's a beast. 30km without belt. My boy drove 240KM without oil, top cylinder burnt but still rolling. A very loyal beast but expensive to maintain. |

ZickWorldNG:Most reliable engines have always been Toyota for me over the past twenty years or so...Hondas were literal hell on earth...Peugeot too was reliable but not as much as the Toyotas |

I can bet there's no car engine as strong and reliable like a Volvo engine especially the T5. I use a Volvo XC90 and I can tell you, it's the best car in the world especially, in this present Nigerian economy. I've not serviced the car for months now, no engine oil(though, hope to service this week) but it has never disappoint me. Parts are also pretty cheap compared to those Japanese cars. I now advice any hustler to get it. No engine wahala, strong and reliable and most of all, no Police wahala(them dey think say na old man dey inside). |
