Chelseafan1:
Yh, I pulled out the relay and fuse 4, they are good.

Well, time to get busy with the stench of fuel vapor -

weyreypey:
Does this work for the w202 C klasse too?

Does anything break in that car? That car is as tough as they come. I'm certain it will work with slight variations.

@ Chelseafan1 and Buynowautos - almost always the fuses and the relays are good but the fuel level sender sensor is bad. Just order the OEM sensor or buy a toks (they are dirt cheap), avoid the Chinese clones, I leant this the hard way, after squandering beer money on those 2 fake tibao sensors in that image

Buynowautos:
My fuel guage just stopped working. Bought fuel and the guage didn't just lift at all.

Eddee:
I've faced this dilemma before and I'm certain, i can be of help. Lemme take some pictures, I'm coming

First and foremost, did you buy enough fuel to warrant the fuel guage sender sensor to report anything to the instrument cluster?

Secondly, scan to see if this code will pop up p203A.? If it does pop up, there are two scenarios and if you can handle a spanner (pun intended), you'll be done in 30-45 mins.

Let's start with the easy one.

Scenario A, fuel pump relay or fuse is blown... Follow this link to locate the faulty relay and fuse, https://www.google.com/amp/s/fusesdiagram.com/mercedes/fuses-and-relay-mercedes-w203.html/amp


Scenario B, the fuel level sender sensor for the fuel pump and possibly fuel filter have retired from active service. Locate it under the passenger seat, pull it out and clean the level sensor - it consists of 4 high-grade stainless steel pins.

Now, if all these does not work, don't @me- you know were the likes of Kingreign, Gazzuzz and AutoelectNg, Oluwaseunla and Aunty Radu are.

HeavenlyBang:
For me, a Civic, a high-performance sports coupe (Camaro, Mustang, Corvette), and a Lexus LX.

Civic for economic city driving, sports coupe for fun (trips on good roads, weekend driving, and just to turn up), LX for family hauling, trips on bad roads, and executive appearances.

Baba, that na why I like you, after we don settle down. Whenever, I wan slay I go stroll come your end borrow that Camaro take feel alive.

GAZZUZZ:
eddee Kingreign oya bring ya hand...

Sorry Sir. No more derailing

weyreypey:
Hehehe you got a great sense of humour. One of the most important tools for modern cars especially the Mercedes Benz is the multimeter tester.... Simple but very critical.

Truth is if you give me a basic lexus or Toyota I'll be very confused....
1mz 2mz 2gr 4fe engines...wtf do those mean?

I feel supremely confident and comfortable with my m111 m102 m112 m113 m104 m103 m272 engines...

I understand you perfectly.

weyreypey:
If you cannot handle a spanner, scanner ...then Mercedes Benz will always be a high maintenance item for you sir

I ordered a small hand-held scanner for $97 on Aliexpress last week, and I can change a flat (I know that's not what you mean)

kingreign:
@Eddee, you join class too?

Senior man, this wan pass me... Lecturer has taught with videos, well explained diagrams and links to external materials and very importantly, hands on practicals, but my head no gree comprehend. So make i dey fence first

Baba G, well done., I don read tire, i no understand nothing. When car start, I go stroll come test drive, feel the engine power output, abi na battery.

Chelseafan1:
Lol, me too. That Corolla is a must have for me. If this c230k doesn't give me issues, I'll just keep it in my garage.

But Corolla is a must for my wife and children. Especially that common type, even in the year 2040, I go still buy am

My brother, your head dey der! Although I'll go with the Civic, the dual guage instrument cluster is certain to evoke a nostalgic feeling a decade or two from now.

Me, I've said it before and will say it again... Once I get a family, the only cars in my garage will be A Toyota Corolla, Honda Civic and a Truck, if Mercedes have sorted out their issues with the X Class, I'll probably own one (assuming the boy is good dey)... I can't afford to be maintaining marquee liabilities coupled with a high maintenance wife and kids.

Chelseafan1:
Nice review. Kindly do well to update us once u test drive.

I'll do you one better. A video perhaps

weyreypey:
t takes believers to understand your points. And you have been mentioning a lot of infidels

They are just cars bro, chill.

Chelseafan1:
C320 is V6 too

1. The M112 engine is cheap too

2. But the Benz has nice speakers and interior too. I really don't like the dash and seat of the is250

3. Y'all said the M112 engine is quite reliable

4. This is true sha

Eddee, Kingreign, weyreypey, Shortgun, waiting for your input.

I can't speak of what I haven't driven or owned, only C Class I've driven was my own CLK 230k and Nwanneni's C class, interior detailing is top notch and dashboard will break apart eventually., speakers are just nice, not basic but okay.

Now, Oga Oluwaseunla is currently doing a PPI for an Is250, for my big bro- once that comes in this week, I'll definitely borrow and review the interior and speakers. As for the seats (there's nothing to write home about), it's a crowded mall in there.

Chelseafan1:
See what I found on Amazon. $118 for the 4, front and rear. Could ds be real.

That's like 43k aside shipping cost.

Bilstein are the best in the business. Guys on Mbworld and MB medic swear by them. Shipping (DHL/FedEx), and Customs charges will make up the price difference. While you are it, check out the price for the 4matic models (will be three to four times that, i can assure you)

shortgun:
For me, anyone that buys a 4matic sedan here is a Novice or wants to show off.
The advantage over non-4matics doesn't exist.

That settles it

shortgun:
Driver side signal repeater should be 12k max .
There is no disadvantage using the " manual" compressor...it's more solid than the automatic.
Misfires can be a lot of things...plugs, coils, nozzles, airmass.
Good luck.

Dem go gree sell one for am?

Chelseafan1:
Even my c230k that saves fuel can't be compared with a Corolla.

Corolla no dey chop fuel at all at all, that car mad.

If I use 2k fuel for a 100km trip, Corolla will use 1k fuel or sightly more for same trip.

Nothing slightly above 1k, more like #800-900 fuel - there's been artificial fuel scarcity in Calabar over the last two days or so. Drained about 10 litres from my generator and I've been using it to catch trips in a major way.

Buynowautos:
This is too expensive. I recently worked on my front legs. Linkage and stabilizer 3800 for the pair. Rear shocks 5k each front 23k the pair. For c320 though

4matic parts are expensive, and when they start falling apart, ESP malfunction error will torment your dashboard until they are fixed.

Cc: chelseafan1 these prices should guide you.

Chelseafan1:
Thanks man, shocks alone is 85k, how much brand new go kon be na, abi d one I saw on Amazon na scam ni?

Sway bar nd stabilizers alone 4 90k? Or everything with shocks.

How was the car after the change when u enter potholes and bumps. Mine has gone really bad, I no like am. . I need to change it.

The shocks are very firm and comfy. I changed the sway bar because the old one's brackets were weak and nobody was willing to sell a complete set of brackets and bushings alone for anything less than 60k.
It's a 4matic, parts are unnecessarily expensive, yours shouldn't be that expensive, used OEM 4matic coils on Ebay or even Amazon will set you back well financially.

Chelseafan1:
How much did u fix the w211 shocks. I can mail u if its a classified info

Nothing classified bro. Toks Shocks 85k for the front pair, 15k for the back, sway bar and stabiliser linkages took most of the money sef 90k. All with 3 months guarantee from Ojuelegba

alphaNomega:
Wait a minute, your car does not have an engine oil dipstick? What engine model is that?

Benz and over sabi
