Good morning Guys...
I started experiencing a spike in my Peugeot 307SW temperature immediately I turn on the AC...
I did so much to solve the problem. From changing the top gasket, to removing, opening and washing my Radiator, I changed the radiator bottle and got a new cover, made sure my Fan was working well etc...
Still no Joy...
After reading this thread yesterday... I went to a nearby Car wash and they pointed their hoses towards to vent in the bumper...
Mehnnnn so much dirt had accumulated there o... As a matter of fact the condenser was looking like it was now a filter for the radiator. It was clogged and very dirty. After the flush and wash my cooling system obviously breathes well now... No more overheating with or without the AC.
I paid N300 to have my condenser flushed...
Now I have peace of mind.
Thank you all.

You got me wrong, i said by the weekend they transform to LWT. LTV weekdays and LWT by weekend starts by friday Night. I was trying to remember Siene razak Lawal after she got married. NTA night was fun with the duo of late Yinka craig and patrick Oke on Newsline before frank Olizie took over sunday nite 9.00pm - 10pm. The used to call theirselves Hello ram and othe rreplied hello goat.

And for the lyrics i believe that i'm an addict cos i can still remember most of the lyrics on every program that i watched, just as a kid we love to sing along with every tv program and adverts. Do u remember 7up Highlife promo commercial, Thermocool, that ends with " see the 250 nigerias most popularly used fridge" thermocool makes things better make better things. or Vaseline, hello mr vaseline... thank you, or Heyyy Joy Girl no matter where u going.... u ve got that joy girl quality, i still remember nigeria at 25 commercial, or late Funsho Alabi's rap commercial on consumer goods, "Are u a distributor, a trader or consumer, do not buy anything if the price is high, there are alternatives of same quality of goods", You should remember kidi vision 101 in 1991 that introduced Denrele edun, Kiddi time for kiddi vision 101, kiddie time for me kiddies time for u", What about NTA 2 first commercial on their birth, "For the past one year NTA 2 has reach out to you, as a commercial station we hope u identify with us, celebrate with us as your reachout station is one"

I still remember the best movies that had the best effect with Fiery force by Jimi odumosu and this half cast guy. also "To save the Fallen Angel", Devil Encounter, Eretics, LINKS(cat) that dauda killed his wife from pot calling her name "hauwa hauwa" and Hauwa later turned to cat and started haunting Dauda to his death. Also Telest and Nifitep 87 which showcased some of this movies. I still have few more years to 40 i swear!. i guess i'm just a tv addict with good memory.

Tokziby we should be siblings... I remember a lot from back then... especially that 7up high life promo advert... I used to wait for the thing to come up and I would sing it through... lemmi see if I can still finish it...

This is not Nigeria, this shii can only happen in Kenya or Uganda!

Last year one chick dumped a junior and married police officer and started dating another senior married police officer both in the same check point. The dumped officer out of rage shot and killed the girl, shot and killed his senior officer and when he realised what he had done... also shot himself leaving 3 bodies for the world to see...
Smh!

Dont worry brother, these guys are abound everywhere now, just look out for a heavily loaded mechanic community , like mechanic village etc, just ask the alignment guys there who does blacksmith good and thorough, a testimony from one or two witnesses should confirm the right techi for you. Then you've got it. After giving it a trial you shall be convinced, that Benz isn't that expensive to maintain as people speculate. that you could be on budget and maintain a Benz.

I drive mine very hard too..i guess it might be harder than you do..Many Benz enthusiast drive her hard as this. Where is "GEE"?.. Dont baby your Benz, if you dont want to start having nuzzle issues and all manner of tulip valve issues and so on and so forth. Take it out once in a while or always and drive da hail out of da machine

Oga Hanson... Just like U sir I don't baby this Benz of mine... I keep wondering wwhat driving a kompressor will feel if my Naturally aspirated 4 cylinder C 200 humiliates all these bloody Japanese cars on the highway especially going uphill
Now I have decided to sell her and get a 2000 C230 Kompressor...
MB all the way...

auhanson:

Before you start with w203 size your pocket well

Oga Hanson,
Pls shine more torch on the comment above... Thank U.

@klint16 am so sorry to hear. Of the mishap, I hope your car was not at fault cos it will be difficult to get out of this issue.
All the best my Bro...
Kaa.

I have been eyeing a W203 for a while now... Trying to make up my mind on changing my W202 to it.
But from my personal observation:
(1) the W202 is more roomy (both in width and height, am very tall and the 203 feels a bit tight, if you find yourself in a situation where u have to sit 4 adults behind, the 202 will do better)
(2) for me the 202 is more rugged and reliable and just Oga Cne said d 203 has way too much wire dis and wire dat hence making the 202 more tolerable when it comes to electrical issues.
(3) the 202 has cheaper components. When its time for replacements and also a simpler engine bay compared to the 203 that has sensor this and sensor that.
(*) but I read somewhere that the 202 has a recirculating ball steering while the 203 drives and handles better because it has a rack and pinion steering.( whatever that means )

But truth is the styling and packaging of the 203 is more appealing, it has more toys therefore its nippier than the 202 in dat.

Is that what u saw there?

1st team to score 3 goals this season... Now the season truly begins.
Good luck to my darling team Chelsea.

Fritz007:
Thanks bro

Fritz007,
Pls go ahead and get yourself a C180 or a C200.
I have a C200 and have had her since december 2012 and I have had no regrets.
On economy its pocket friendly and its fuel consumption is okay. (I always cover between 255 - 290 km from full tank to half tank depending on traffic situation here in Abuja) the parts are quite affordable.
On perfomance.... my bro Mercedes na Mercedes... my car has a 4 cylinder 2.0ltr naturally aspirated engine and yet it is so fast i wonder what it will be like to drive a super charged one. ( one day i will enter Kaduna and challenge GEE to a race )

so in all, be interested in your future vehicle, and when it comes treat her well... she will treat you well too. all the best and congratulations in advance.

Eyop:
The vehicle isn't even clean sef my Oga.

It will b when it visits. A car wash... The car is okay... Just the engine... No. No. No for my Bros who wants. Economy and is on low income.

"The Kompressor (W202) and her big bro (W203) after a clean bath.[/quote]"



W202 and W203 who senior? Who dem 1st born?... Pls uncle Danadam rephrase that statement before your W202 go vex enter limp mode ...

Your rides are clean... Thumbs up Sir!

Oga Eyop you no dey sleep? I see you o...

You mention PH, thats my area. If i had seen this earlier on maybe i could have offered to squeeze out time to go there and sort out the issue for you free of charge on a saturday/sunday like this, tho i'm not a mechanic, i have done it for close friends before. Anyways , its not too late , you can send me pms against next weekend if that will be ok by you?[/quote]


Oga Hanson ( the portharcourt 1st son) a W202 is misbehaving in your Jurisdiction o! So please if you can ehh do what you can to make her well again nd update us on ur findings.
And Oga prudence.smart pls make sure the area is secure so he can operate make them no kidnap am o

I for one am sick and tired of wasting my precious megabytes only to come and read accusations and counter accusations... I don't think that is the reason for this thread.
Let's help each other to take care of our beloved benzes better and put an end to all this bickering.
All I want to see here or talk is...

and nothing she did could revive the vehicle, it had to be finally towed back home after having run down the battery and affected the kick badly.

Initially the car would crank but remains very powerless, could not accelerate when engaged the gear, now it cant even remain in idling anymore


For the above ehh, I had a similar experience and mine started with me thinking I had fuel when I didn't. Fuel pump relay in the trunk may just be the culprit... So as A.U Hanson has suggested scan the vehicle and since you are not in town see if you can arrange for him to go check it out.
Peace.

Welcome back Trac its been a while!
About the issue of thermostat, I'm already looking for a Behr 87degC thermostat. I am finding it difficult locating same as I hve combed the whole Gudu market here in Abuja yet no show? I will take my search to Apo mechanic village later today, hope to hit the thermojackpot there...

Eyop:
