Every single car in the world has a complaint thread somewhere somehow.

Providing empirical data to show that the Audi A4 has a higher than proportional rate of reliability issues/recalls would support your hypothesis further

Carburetor?

Hybrid600:
No diagnosis has been carried out yet.
Location is Abuja...

Get a good technician with a professional diagnostic tool (not those N100 own).

The technician must be able to diagnosis and perform necessary actuations. Proper diagnosis takes time and not a hushed 2 minute job.

All airmatic components must be tested and the air system's ability to retain pressure must be monitored.

It could be a leaky hose, bad valve or even a level sensor....

Hybrid600:
They don't hold air. The Merc can't move coz the whole rear is down..
I'll check Ladipo when I visit Eko
Thanks

Have you done a diagnosis?

How is the condition of the check valves, pumps, air lines etc.

What codes did you get.

Where is your location?

Hybrid600:
Oh wow! Thanks for your response... I'v changed the air suspension twice already but yet it deflates..
What's the cost range for a swap?

By deflate, do you mean the balloons rupture or they don't hold air?

If it is the latter, many components could be responsible.

I have no current idea as regards the swap cost. Drive down to ladipo and get an almost free quote from different suppliers. Just tell them you want to swap from balloons to spring.

I would advise you do a proper diagnosis first as the issue might be minimal.

Yes. It is a common swap.

However, you need to first determine the cause of your airmatic issues as most are caused by negligent damage to air lines, level sensors etc.

It might cost more to swap than to fix the issue.

for better understanding, I include the image below

After a repair my Toyota camry 1996 was consuming fuel and little black smoke was coming out of the exhaust pipe.
so, I gave it to a rewire and he fixed it within 30 minutes and the smoke stopped and fuel consumption is back to normal now.
however I noticed one of the 3 wires connected to the icv valve has been removed by the rewire I Gave it to.
please is it normal because I am not so sure and if not, what is the consequence of the work done by the rewire.

Mr mayor
kingreign and others, kindly help ....

Your definition of fix is no evidence of black smoke anymore.

Your car was running rich. Many things can cause a 'system too rich' situation.

Your rewire simply added more air via the leak created.

There would immediately have been higher rpm which was also corrected with the throttle adjustment screw.

Now double issues created.

Let's talk about the other issues created. Your vacuum pressure would have been affected. Systems that need a certain level of vacuum ( for example, the fuel pressure regulator) might also feel the brunt.

Try and get a scan first then let's try to resolve your issues step by step.

*This is one of the reasons I recommend proper diagnosis of cheap Nigerian used cars

Nice w115.

Happy sales.

Hi Denn

Can I still make you an offer for this beautiful gem of a car?

Ok. Let's talk via WhatsApp

We have been doing a couple of restorations for clients and recently we delivered a Volkswagen Beetle that was restored back to its clean retro look.

As usual, total strip down and rebuild. Every component was touched.

Attached are pictures of the finished product.

Cheers

Offer for sale would be withdrawn by next week if sale not completed.

Car would be sent in for a facelift.

PS
Attached picture is of a recently completed job

Good evening

DaimlerBen:
It was the best indeed, though trumped by BMW.
But I thought "labour" was you & parts would've been cheaper @ Owode, no?

I studied accounting and was taught to account for all costs.

Lol.

Good morning

DaimlerBen:
Please, don't mind me derailing. Were the electrics plug n'play or you just ripped out all of the old one? Something like this is on my mind.

Plug and play but not easy. Requires indepth understanding of the Mercedes M104 wire chart.

For example, the car has three moudles and an electronic throttle body actuator.

I have done some other swaps notably on a BMW E30 where i deleted the factory M20 and replaced with a M50 single vanos..

A budget of at least 200k for this engine swap alone and that does not include labour.

The M104 is the best and last inline 6 ever made by Mercedes.

Cheers.

Thanks all for refreshing the ad.

Vehicle is still available.

Cheers
