Nah, normal operating temperature. You have the M112 engine if I'm not mistaken. Those engines don't die easily, there's a reason they are one of the cheapest and most durable Merc engines out there - My dad taught me a small hack, to change the coolant temperature sensor (water switch) during every oil change. It's dirt cheap (1k) and a very easy DIY. A new one will keep your temp around 88-92c. An aging one will always alternate between 90-95c.

If your SUV overheats believe me you will know, limp mode will happen once you lose compression due to a blown head gasket to avoid permanent damage. Telltale signs include but not limited to random misfires on every cold start, vehicle will have difficulty starting after being parked for more than 24 hours. White smoke from the exhaust pipe. Unusual bubbles in the coolant expansion tank. White milky oil. And soaked spark plugs.

Thanks for the exposë...if I start the SUV in the morning, it is a bit noisy the fan but after few seconds like 20seconds, you will hear something like switch then the sound comes down like a magic and it's noiseless... Then the RPM needle come down also below 10. It happens in few seconds then the temperature is around 80°C then while driving depending on the environmental condition it stays between 90° but in a hot day it is around 95°C but never 100°C

Also....as of the smoke , it doesn't for now just that when I start in the morning, I check the exhaust, I see water dripping from the tailpipe and steam( that thing that we see when boiling water ) these are the things that u have noticed also.... Is water dripping from pipe okay! My mech said it's okay but the movement is okay !

Thanks once again for the information! Also, what is your take on C Class 230 Or 320 ( is 4matic better than kompressor) madam is on my neck ! But I am thinking A class !

Thanks for the advice !

Yoruba and party shaaaa

Eddee:
I meant the components, read the below resources. Mercedes Benz engines are designed to run very hot, the cooling system's thermostat in the engine begins to open at 88 to 92 degrees Celsius, 95 degrees should be normal operating temperature. But it's perfectly normal for your guage to read at 95-100 C. Now the import of this is your fan will compensate for this heat by working overtime. If the noise bothers you, consult one of the trusted hands here to offer offline support.

Thanks for this response bro ..I used to see my SUV tilt between 90°c - 95°c And I used to be thinking it's overheating!

9icetoo:
There is a difference between a cliche, a slogan and a statement of fact.
If either of the words 'literally' or 'figuratively' was added to that statement, my response would have been different.
You studied literature? Should I be afraid?
Humour me.

Bros .. I can't see anything that is cliche here. Maybe you are mistaking my statement as a cliche

But let it slide

dawnomike:
Thanks so much Williams and God bless you

...what about Allah

HeavenlyBang:
There's no Aston in that video?

And Aston Martin doesn't even make sports cars? They make grand tourers.

Habaaa bros why naaa...Aston Martin makes sports cars and they are in F1! Holly Molly ! Who told you that bro ! Aston Martin cars are fast cars ! Thy are designed for speed !

They don't even make not only sports car but speadstar...this is a massive V12 coupe ...please what is it again ! Speadstar

9icetoo:
They never learn, do they?
"Mercs don't get outdated". Never read a worse horseshit in my life.
This disease is worse than covid-19.

Unfortunately you don't understand the difference between figurative meaning and literal meaning....

It's not my fault sir ....there is nothing I can do about it

Eddee:
My brother, the good thing be say you no sabi take prisoners.



Fallacy of hasty generalization.
Every car ages, some better than most, agreed! But what nobody can tell us, is that Hitler's Merc that looks like something drawn by a horse isn't outdated by now.

One it's not. A FALLACY OF HASTY GENERALUZATION Bro...also you took the phrase from the literal meaning ...you didnt look at the figurative meaning and contextual meaning


Just like saying that Genevieve Nnaji doesn't get old !


It is a two way thing...some people would look at tbis expression from Literal meaning while some would look at it from figurative meaning


This statement doesn't mean that Genevieve doesn't get old because we all know that every thing gets old but it means that Genevieve aging process is graceful and slower !

Bro...I did literature in University ...

I believe that you understand me now

HeavenlyBang:
Aston Martins make fast cars but never cars that can compete with the best at either track or drag. They're not designed to be raced.

Oh yes you are right but cars are designed to be say ..most times they potray that in their advert even in movies ....but it's a great brand

drakeskull:
Yes there is one now.

Oh that is cool

HeavenlyBang:
mErCs dOn'T gEt oUtDaTeD.

Because no be car e be, na diamond.

People still drive 1984 vboot , 1979 230e and other ancient Benz...they are very popular in East...I see also many here in Lagos...that is what I meant ...I am not saying that it last forever ! But it has higher longevity....

HeavenlyBang:
There's no Aston in that video?

And Aston Martin doesn't even make sports cars? They make grand tourers.

they make fast cars...Aston make fast cars .....do they even have an SUV...is there an Aston Martin SUV

auhanson:
Those guys are expert like Dominic Toretto of FAST N FURIOUS...Probably he may have been warned not to try that with the Lexus(as such donut oversteer put a lot of strain on the cars chassis and drive train, perhaps the Lexus may not have survived it like others who were build for that. Remember she is just a Toyota mimicking the kings with built for luxury and manageable performances to get into the leak, so she better watch the kings do their thing.

LoL...you made sense

LoL...but it was an over kill, how do they bring Lexus to compete with BMW, Benz, Aston Martins and those top notch...what where there expecting...that Lexus will come tops?

They expected too much but at least the Lexus tried to meet up with our expectations! We saw it coming though

HeavenlyBang:
A massive V8. It's one of my dream cars.

After watching that video a few days ago, I immediately went to start calculating how much it'd cost. By my estimates, around 8m. Too expensive sadly.

Next best thing is a first-gen CLS550 but it looks outdated at this point, sadly.

Mercs don't get outdated...I like CLS550 but the massive engine is scary ...can't drive that in Nigeria and the fuel we use here is funny

drakeskull:
Man! I didn't mention Lexus on MB thread No look for trouble o.

LoL...I am looking at the video ....the Lexus was last back to back again.... Just the video anyway not the thread...it's a nice race and also we have seen what these cars can do

drakeskull:
Old C63 is a beast


https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=TUs48KitW6M

What were you expecting from Lexus!I know that Lexus would always be last !

ibbabah:
I have done that already

Then check your steering rack and other colums.... Also are you using the required tyres

AreaFada2:
Benin and Delta democratically left Western Region. That has been settled. Benin cannot be in Oduduwa

I am personally an Igbo-phile person. I like their businesslike and result oriented attitude. I have said it over the years here.

Our family was one of the first to welcome Igbo back to the neighborhood after the war. Their kids that some family member helped to midwife taken to the East died in the East during the war. Upon their return those kids were mourned like they were Family.

But I believe that the poorly handled post- conflict reconciliation of Biafra war left Igbo very hurt, disgruntled and largely badly disposed towards every non-Igbo in Nigeria. Despite Igbo bravado of "we are doing better than other tribes".
Doing well economically is one thing.
The collective psyche is another.

I happen to have been with a key figure in South African post conflict reconciliation. They did a far better job in SA.

Nigeria ought to know that the war remains an albatross. Igbo should be allowed to go. Alone. No other other tribe should go with them. The Niger River as the natural boundary. Niger Delta will decide terms of co-existence.

My prayer is for oil and gas to run out soon or lose relevance. That way Oduduwa would prefer to enjoy their seaport, agric and industrial base alone.
That is the best way out in my opinion.

So what about us Igbo in Anioma...we should stay with you after what you did to us during the war and Bendel state ?

gregyboy:
And so fucking what, hope you take your people and leave our lands...


Idiot stop priding yourself in pop

It is you that would leave the lands or start speaking the occupiers language

gregyboy:
You are a fool for bragging on pop
You are fool for insulting edos that we are small

You are a fool for believing pop can amount to greatness or win battles

You are fool for insulting us as minorites

Israel is in the midst of arab countries ans they still cant be deafted
Isreal is not as populates as nigeria but it will take the whole of nigeria down under hours


Foolish majority tribe that equate its strength to population

After Igbanke Igbo would move further ...then Yoruba would move further from Akoko while Ijaw would move further from Gelegele


U ain't seen nothing ....Ozuor

binary123:
why is it that igbos love ikwere so much online.but physical here in portharcourt they don't profes same love.ikwere don't always agree they are igbos.but online it's only Igbo claiming we are one. greedy ikwere man know why Igbos are claiming brother,(our oil)

Why is it that ikwerre people join Igbo in meeting here in Lagos the way Ijebu joinh Yoruba

MelesZenawi:
Your problem is emotions and you use bad words when feel defeated.

Your behaviour will even scare many who may have different reasoning.

You want to feel among and mingle with Same people but at sametime you loathe time.

Which makes my logic simple. Since you don't like anything Igbo, you are better taken care of and catered for in oduduwa Republic.

Is this also hard to take?

No mind the confused Benin clown

gregyboy:
Ogun dey kill you,

And your stricken alimajiri brothers when they sell for express road all over nigeeia


Mumu tribe he is even proud that that they have one billion local govt, wetin dem they use the local govt dey do,

Ozour population is decreasing around the world and this fool is happy they got population to themselves, it will take one local govt people to crush that useless local govt you take as pride into dust,

Mumu stop bragging with your pop it amount to nothing it it doesnt amount to greatness
You should be ashamed you are priding yourself with pop like it amount to greatness

Benins had that little pop and could control trade all over the southern nigeria that is called greatness, but igbos having that pop crushing edo in battle is not assume as greatness


Big fool i was reasoning with a sensible man from the east and you came from nowere to brag on useless population fool that you're

Ozuor tota....u never see anything

helinues:
Attachee by force.. Ikwerre said they are not Igbo.. Is that too hard for you people to comprehend?

But Amaechi said that he is Igbo and also the Ohaneze scribe is ikwerre also

Make una get sense

Chimok:
Even Anambra doesnt have 100% Igbos

They way Ogun isn't 100% Igbo because many ijebu hates the name Yoruba and Lagos isn't Yoruba because Egun aren't Yoruba also

Chimok:
The two former governors Amaechi and Peter Odili also of Igbo descent.
It means Igbo then owns the state

But rivers is 90% Igbo

gregyboy:
Whois this mad man

Were did they release you from

Wait let me ask your mother

samuk:
You are either a poorly manufactured Aba made robot or your brain stopped developing at age 4 or you escaped from a mental health institution because every primary school pupil in Nigeria know that Nigeria got her independence on October 1 1960. That is why we celebrate independence day every October 1, dummy.

Between 1967 to 1970 when the Igbos lost over 2 million of her indigines in the Nigeria civil war, Benin was neither a country nor have a standing army to be defeated by Igbo, for you to think and believe otherwise shows your level of reasoning and mental capacity, very poor and below average.

dont worry this time we would ensure that your two local government start speaking Igbo

pazienza:
Bonny and Opobo might be Igbo speaking, but they are also Ijaw(Ibani) speaking.
You will hardly meet an Opobo or Bonny man that does not identify as Ijaw. Their youths leaders are members of IYC(Ijaw youth council), while their chiefs and Amanayabos are members of INC( Ijaw National Council).
You don't have to take my word for it, if you can't travel to Bonny or Opobo to find out the state of things there, you can simply join their facebook pages and engage the people.
Kalabari is Ijaw, though like the Nembes, many Kalabari want independence from Ijaw, they want to be an independent ethnic group of their own. But Kalabari culturally and linguistically speaking are Ijaws, and their leaders identify with IYC and INC.

Ndiigbo need to stop all these needless emotions, it will get us to no where. It does not make sense claiming a people who doesn't claim you, who as a matter of fact look at you with suspicious eyes.

We know our people in Rivers state. They are found in Obigbo and Egbema.
Let's look inwards and find a way to strengthen our bond with our fellow Igbos in SE and even the ones in Isobo, Benue and Enu-ani, deal head on with every type of discrimination or dehumanization of our people by fellow ignorant Igbos.
Pull funds together and deliver emergency relieve projects to neglected but proud Igbo groups like the Umuezekoha in Benue state who have been crying for our help since 2015 with no interventions coming from us. Just a few boreholes to relieve the people water needs, renovation of their dilapidated primary schools and provision of schooling materials to their people. Umahi can visit the governor of Benue state and liase on how to build small bridges and few roads that their absence had cut those Igbo communities off from development.
There is a whole lot more we can do for ourselves in SE and for proud Igbos outside SE. This whole obsession with some confused power drunk Bini people in Rivers state,whose ancestors adopted and corrupted our Igbo language is very unhealthy for us politically speaking and needs to stop.

Do you even realise that (u)ibani is an Igbo word ! Do you even realise it means the language in richness of the land (uba Ani ) sometimes


I have Opobo friend he claims Igbo ....so what are you saying ?

technicallyrich:
How.
Ijaws mostly like Igbo people,that's why almost all ijaws marry igbos.
They have their own indigenous ijaw language that they speak.
Finally,some ijaws speak ijaw language,others Igbo,only very few ijaws speak urohbo and Yoruba.
But ijaw na ijaw.you can see the bravey in their eyes,even from afar.
Mind you,nwokem I support Biafra anyday.

Blablabla

Forget Bonny and Opobo ...they speak Igbo there in real time

As of Kalabari...they are influenced by Igbo and speak Igbo as second language that is why Asari title is Edi Abali which is pure Igbo

Oya

Talk another one

MelesZenawi:
Shut it

he wasn't speaking any igbo.

There is nothing like Ikwerre igbo. It is simply Ikwerre not Igbo.

He spoke ikwerre , a dialect in Igbo, I am Nkwerrr and I understood it clearly

Chineke kpokwa gi oku there

gloriaunobi:
Was that Igbo that he is speaking?

Yes...I heard him very well! Ntorr is Igbo and chineke kpokwa ha oku
