P0705 Transmission Range Sensor "A" Circuit (PRNDL Input)

Yeah. That's it. Although he says his car isn't throwing up transmission codes, i guess he needs a good scanner.

NeyofeedNigEnt:
Thank you boss
But pls explain anyhow abeg

As always please run a scan first.

If it makes a thumping sound when you try to switch gears, try to have the transmission's range switch calibrated or realigned (it's a simple and inexpensive fix). And sometimes, even after the calibration if the symptoms persist let the technician check if your gear selector is still functional (if its not, you may have to replace - may cost up to 15k or lower depending on where you source your parts).

As for the dirty transmission fluid, refer to your owner's manual on servicing schedule. But I guess you'll have to drain and replace since its overdue.

NeyofeedNigEnt:
Please house.
I have a 2005 mercedes Benz ML.
The gear is working very good and select smoothly but sometimes I noticed some sound from d gear when I shift it to drive and no sound when shifted to neutral.
Today I checked the gear oil I noticed is somehow dirty.

What can be done pls
If I should change my oil which one is advisable?
Should I change the filter too or just d oil?

I've had a problem like this recently, I don't have sufficient vocabulary to explain it but they can, cos they solved it.

CityNGR:
Let him buy his Benz. It may be his only chance at driving the German wonder on wheels. We will support him with necessary assistance on techs and parts.

I trust you on that.

CityNGR:
Get a better tech.

I cannot imagine leaving the 3 Star machine for any az Toyota or Lexus engine

True that

HeavenlyBang:
Dey make noise now when you no go contribute money if something spoil for the Benz.

If i show am my repair bills, him go allow that guy buy Lexus. Benz sweet when e still new. Once old age don dey catch am... If you no get money life go tire you

HeavenlyBang:
Lexus will stand the test of time far better than the Mercedes. Just buy the RX.

Heed this advice, you have been forewarned!

Hello guys, so I just got myself a Honda accord 03 2.4 ivtec. Just in the first few days and I think it's guzzling my fuel. I bought 4k worth of fuel and the next day I had to refill I hardly drove up to 100km.*i didn't take note at the time I was filling up but the distance I drove combined wasn't up to 100km*. Anywifast forward to the next day the car gave me reserve light warning I had to enter the nearest filling station, got myself 8k worth of fuel. So I took note of my odometer it was at 237751km and the I got 55lts of fuel and the pointer was at full tank. Now my odometer is at 237880km and my fuel indicator is just on the next bar below half tank. That's just about 125km on about half the fuel I bought. Someone please help a brother, cos this one will just send me and my shikini money to relegation.

This got me

Philadelphia:
Good afternoon house,
I need links on where I can download the following from for 2008 Mercedes Benz SLK 280:

Owners Manual
Repair Manual.

Please kindly help.

Thank you.

Just ran a quick search on Google and came up with this
Operator's Manual SLK-Class - Mercedes-Benz USA

https://www.google.com/url?sa=t&source=web&rct=j&url=https://www.mbusa.com/vcm/MB/DigitalAssets/pdfmb/ownersmanual/2008_slk280_slk350_slk55.pdf&ved=2ahUKEwj8ipe21qTgAhUEUhUIHSd1AU0QFjAAegQIBhAB&usg=AOvVaw1LIF7qf7llbrCeJnaJ6qxo

Have fun.

valarinz:
I see what you're trying to do here, cover up your initial blunder with a side jab.

There's a difference between campaigning for your brand and advising someone to sell a defective S60 for eg, just cos he couldn't figure out a way to solve it. Except of course you tell the buyer the real reason for sale

Oga this is true, but for clarity sake my initial comments on your brand aren't meant to patronise you, or cover up any blunder. I'll make jokes as I deem appropriate and if you can't read between the lines and take them with good old humor, then shalom!

mammanbawa:
Okay then
I wouldn't mind the pictures sha

Sent to your contact... Cheers

mammanbawa:
Wow
I'm surprised someone with an e350 prefers a Volvo
Well back to my statement
To each his own
Can I see your Merc?
Could take it off your hands when the time and price is right

I can send pictures but I'm not selling bro. I'll probably add the volvo God willing

kingreign:
You for collect corolla to over simplify things

If to say I fit put that Merc engine and transmission inside that corolla my problems for don finish

kingreign:
Bro, leave that thing, your W211 is sweet o. the way that car sits on the ground, it's panoramic roof, it's headlamp everything. That car set die.

Yeah, it's one fine and sleek Merc

mammanbawa:
That's why I didn't judge
What kind of w211 do you drive?
Also can you tell me how the Volvo is better than your 211?

It's an E350 4matic. The simplicity in design from Volvo does it for me, everything in a Benz is over engineered. I mean you must read owners manual to save common seat positions, mirrors and so many small issues. That volvo everything just dey in front, i no stress myself at all. That in itself is a big deal breaker for me.

mammanbawa:
Much better ride than a w211?
I doubt
Well, to each his own.

True that bro.

I didn't generalise all W211's, i was subjective enough to specify that it was better than my own w211.

kingreign:

My next best car from Europe.

Chief you sabi better thing. E be like oga Valarinz go get me as customer very soon. That s60 soft I swear down

valarinz:
You're hailing him for passing on a defective vehicle to an unsuspecting buyer??

My oga not really, just for laughs. I can also quote several times you've encouraged several persons on here to ditch their abused rides in favor of the rugged and durable Volvo.
On a side note, I'm typing this from inside an 08 Volvo s60 and without doubt this is a much better ride than my W211

9icetoo:
Electrical issues. The rains bring up issues that ordinarily wouldn't manifest.
Some also have defective wipers.
I know a friends car that wouldn't accelerate past 20 km/hr anytime it rains and its a manual for that matter.
He sold off the car before we could even figure out the problem during the dry season.

Your friend is the real mvp

Bizzyliss:
Pls how much can i get this, it was removed from my 2010 ml 350 4matic

That's a rear axle differential. Cc: Kingreign for price

Xtine22:
oga stop discouraging him he can see clean cars within is budget like nissan sunny 1.4xl, golf 2,mazda 626 without issues. he only need to be patient while searching for

Oga, it will be very difficult to find a Nigerian used car for 250k that will come with tyres with enough tread to last him 3 months nor one that's not due for the most basic of servicing (brake pads and oil change).

I still maintain he hides some money under his pillow for when the time comes

bee4un:
I have used it to cover 1320 KM. But am wondering if it's okay.

Una dey enjoy o. On an average 133 litres of fuel gives me 780-790 in an 04 4.7l V8 Tundra and 890-900 in an 04 E320 4matic. (inclusive of inter and intra-town movements)

nurey:
When some people don say they will defend to the last drop of blood. Abeg am too young to die, let me just be observing.

A whole MC Oluomo of NL Car Talk dey follow fear?

Sellfish:
Yes I can Sir....i can comfortably budget 15 monthly for fuel

Do you also have a budget for parts? Any car for that amount will most likely have seen better days. If you want to buy a car, try and ensure you have at least 50% of the initial purchase amount set aside for unforeseen expenses.

My brother I understand why you need mobility perfectly, but abeg keep calm and save more in order to cater for repairs aside fueling.

Fahrenz:
complete engine comes with other etceteras that would have otherwise costed you extra money

I know, just felt he needed to explain like you just did. No qualms bro

darmilolah:
For whoever cares to know. 2006-2010 Honda Civic Engine is 90k. Gear is 70k. Complete Engine and gear is 180k

Bro isn't 90+70 = 160k?

GAZZUZZ:
I charge 20k per vehicle as Pre-purchase. There is a skill in looking out for a good car be it toks or Nigerian used vehicle.

Your friends Bought bad cars.

Baba new year, new rates? Na 10k that year

meobizy:
Who is this EgunMogaji fellow you regulars keep mentioning?

I cannot categorically tell you now. We have multiple personalities bearing that moniker but I cannot tell you one now, and “My Oga At The Top” say is another one and the one we are going to make use of will be made known by “My Oga At The Top”.

Mariangeles:

Mariangeles:
Thank God Almighty for Daddies yeah??
Only God knows what would have become of you bro .

You know you're funny right?

Chelseafan1:
Can't remember, if my AC worked then, I would have wound up.

It was crazy.

Yeah right.
Compliments of the season
