Buy new radiator,before you buy it,fix all you have yo fix with engine and all. If you buy radiator then it has to come down again for them to do service engine parts,b4 u know it,mechanic go brake hose. Fix all that IS worrying that car before you buy new radiator. Asin brand new,it's better to buy toks than brand new cause brand new na China and e go spoil.car off when u reach aous suppose comot battery wires shaps

New radiator?? I'm surprised 😯

You won't get any reasonable results from that scanner. You need a high-end scan. Are you in Lagos?

Thanks for your replies @ All. The scanner is getting delivered between 21st - 24th according to jumia. However, since someone has advised up there that it may not work, I've zero my mind off it. So, am contacting my friends on best place to do comprehensive scan in my locality but no good response yet.

I'm in Osogbo, here in Osun State.

Look like wrong oil. Which scan tool do you order for?

I thought so Sir. I ordered for one obd II Bluetooth scanner on jumia but yet to be delivered.

When I drove the car like 5km this morning just to know whatsup (I park it since then), the gear did not select past 1 and making a hollow thin noise - exactly like fire alarm (wooooooooooooo.....). I had to park it again (though the car is till moving but with gear 1 only). Park, neutral, reverse are working too.

@ All, thanks for your responses so far. I have just ordered scanner online but yet to be delivered. I'll update... Thank you Sirs

No online diagnosis. Gear fluid used is the wrong one. There are some other engine issues, car is probably in limp mode.

Is the warning sign o the dash no illuminated? As in the triangle warning light also scan vehicle too.

No warning light for now. Please, which gear oil will you recommend?

Good morning all car enthusiasts in this great section. Kindly proffer solution to my challenge.

BRIEF BACKGROUND
I drive Benz C180 Kompressor (2004), Auto. The car is very okay and I have zero complain since purchased. However, on the dashboard recently it advises me the oil is due for change. I relayed call to previous owner and he told me the oil type he used whenever he wanna do oil change. I bought it and called my mecho guy last week so we can change it. I told him to change both oil and fuel filters alongside the oil change.

Immediately everything was fixed by the mecho guy, I entered the car and drove off. When I covered about 3km distance from the mecho, I branched filling station for fueling. Immediately after fueling, I started the car and it failed to select gear. What? I kick again and the issue persist. I call the mecho guy and told me to remove battery and restart again, same thing. I called my friends that's more knowledgeable in cars than I do, they said engine oil and gear has no correlation that it is just a con-incident. They advised to contact rewire. I manage the car to the rewire because if I leave the car to cool like 5minutes, it will enter gear 1 but will dis-engage in about 40 seconds drive, that's how I took it there.

The rewire guy examined and recommend me to change transmission oil. I call the previous owner to advice on type of transmission oil, he said he couldn't remember the one he used last. I call my friends and they adviced Mobil ATF 220. I gave the rewire guy the money and bought 5 litres (1 litre x 5). After that, it selects perfectly.

THE ISSUE...
(1) Days after gear oil change, I discover accelerator failure I.E. Throttle will just fail to press when on motion, turning steering, entering gallop or climbing hill. I took it to rewire again, he did some things there and told me it won't occur again, but unfortunately after about 30mins I left him, it surfaces again and am battling till now

(2) Four days ago, I discovered that once I covered about 50km (am not referring to speed here), the gear will be making a squeaking noise and few minutes after that noise, it won't select gear again except "Park", but if I leave it like 2 minutes and restart, it will pick and select accurately. This is giving me a serious headache. The squeaking noise started after about 12 days I change the transmission oil. So, it drove well in the first 12 days

Please, what can cause these two malfunctions?
