A word to wise. 2cribz does not sell transmission fluid nor him/her or shim can afford it .. Do not deviate from the manufacture advice

Plenty fake oil and fluid full market. Know the source of your product.

I will be going to a Benz dealership for my customer next week to purchase the fluid and ship out Oct 26. My customer has parked his Benz quietly until the fluid arrives. I will advice you do the same....

2cribz is not capable of helping you . He will advice you to use palm oil .
Hello … good morning

Do you currently have Mobil 5W-40

thanks for the commendation

But note the same car dealers he which to take from were he stop would get the car cleared with same amount I quote or higher and still sell this car for about 25m or there about

Though I don't know how bad the affected accident is, but I pretty sure OP won't spend up to 15m with what he said about the purchase of the car for 6.4m while other cost of inland shipping and ocean shipping would be about 3m to 4m

I'll advice he look into this well what would be would be

Nah naija slogan b that o grin
I know you’re just doing your job, and you don’t have the power to change things . But honestly, I feel like one of the biggest problems in Nigeria is that nobody questions anything.

That’s why you’ll go to a dealership platform today, see a car that originally costs $200k, and suddenly hear a price like ₦1 billion. You’ll just sit there wondering, how come ? , how come ?!
It’s because of things like this. The government squeezes the dealers with these thoughtless insane policies, and then the greedy & foolish dealers turn around and take advantage of the common man. It’s a never-ending cycle, and nobody seems to care enough to fix it

It's so crazy. For a car that's damaged and probably gonna be used for parts, customs will charge for it like it's a mobile and clean title.
They should even consider it's damaged and let the damaged titles have their own fair price.

Jaid, keep up the good work.
I just don’t understand how Nigerian officials think. Like, someone will wake up in the morning, go to their office, and then place policies on things like this is a banana republic

I buy car for ₦6 million, and now I’m supposed to pay ₦4 million just to clear it? Car wey never even start life for road sef !
My head dey pain me anytime I think am sef .

it's well my brother, cus nah so we see am o

Note:the new administration needs money to operate the state, my thought

I come in peace o, meanwhile when is it landing sir
I don’t think I can go forward with this anymore. It just doesn’t make any sense. What I’ll do now is look for one of my dealer friends—someone who buys and sells cars. I’ll ask them to pay me for the car, and they can take it from there. They’ll handle the clearing and shipping costs themselves.
Maybe when things change in the future, I’ll consider shipping something into the country again. For now, I go waka passsssss


Honestly, now I understand why people smuggle cars in the country . I can’t even blame them anymore. When the system is this bad, what else are people supposed to do?
AutosRe: Total Cost Of Clearing A Vehicle In Nigeria by Manlinee: 12:30pm On Jan 07, 2025
oliverjiad:
morning

These it, customs don't give value out based on ur cif, they give value by what the FG and customs valuation board concluded to issue to a certain, particular vehicle by their grade, specs and year

On like urs it's a Mercedes Benz,and Benz, BMW and co mostly German machines and others are on a special duty differs from what would be given to Toyota and under product of it type, I mean sedan of it type in the Toyota and Honda

To clear that car full duty presently is ₦7.5m and that's the compromise I just dish to u sir

Meanwhile no accidental value sir

Jaid
This is just plain extortion! I don’t even know who comes up with things like this. You mean someone will sit in their office and decide to charge my incoming accidental car more than 80% of its worth? Nor be madness be that? How does this even sound reasonable sef ?

Why doesn’t customs consider the actual condition or value of the car. This car isn’t brand new—it’s damaged!


Honestly, I don’t even understand how Nigerians accept things like this.
How are we supposed to move forward in a country where policies like this exist… It’s unfair, oppressive, and downright crazy. Something really has to change
AutosRe: Total Cost Of Clearing A Vehicle In Nigeria by Manlinee: 5:17am On Jan 07, 2025
oliverjiad:
with ₦3.8m would get it done

Jaid
Bro, it’s an accidental car , and I got it for around $3,900 (6.4M Naira), excluding other fees.

Shouldn’t that some how significantly reduce the clearing cost?”

Scan results I got from my vehicle thats in limp mode, the gear lever doesn't go to park too until I turn off the engine.
It’s a W211 with M112 engine with the 5 speed tranny.
This code is basically saying something's gone bad in your gear . but you need to scan with the Mercedes Benz star scanner to get more accurate details - it's the only way to get a clear picture of what's going on ."

Seriously ehn , if a Mercedes Benz mechanic does not have the Star Diagnostic Tool, they should be charged with automotive malpractice!
That Tool is such a lifesaver for Mercedes owners! It tells you exactly what's wrong and how to fix it. I mean the accuracy is like no other ….

Omo I Woke up one morning, car would not move out from park after a jump start. Called multiple mechanics, and they kept saying 'oga change the gear , your gear don go '
Almost lost my mind!
Finally took it to a Mercedes Benz service center, and they were able to pinpointed the issue - faulty VGS!
I change am, and e don dey well for over one month now."

I am not a conversant with benz though. But the first thing you should check yourself is if when you press the brake, does the lights come on, some face that issue where the brake sensor isnt making the gear register to shift.

But for me, you have an electrical issue which can point to the problem if you can get a workshop with the right diagnostic machine, they can check continuity in the wires, check the necessary fuses, test the TCM modules to pinpoint your issues. A valve body wont stop the gear from not switching from park or neutral.

get a 3rd opinion and ensure an part replaced is handed to you because i smell foul play
So I finally got car fixed . But it wasn’t cheap either , had to spend over a million naira to get it sorted out . Ouch still hurt , still it was worth every penny, because the car has been running smoothly for over a month now and counting , and no hiccups whatsoever.

Is the gear faulty or something?
here is what played out ;

So, my car (Cla 250 2016 ) battery died from sitting idle for two weeks, and after jump-starting it, the car won't go out from park. As a matter of fact it been stuck in park for the last 3 days now , So I called a mechanic , but the Guy is telling me it's a transmission ism issue. Honestly, I'm just so confused right now.


So I had to take the car in to one Mercedes repair center and they gave me that bill
