Thanks bro, would surely give him a call. I'm familiar with the area.

@tommysparks, no previous work had been done in the tank area, hence a wrong connection. I'm in abuja. Kindly refer your contact.

@au.hanson, I'd definitely get d tank washed this weekend and hope it improves d performance.

shocked r u for real? A gallon of fuel in booth always? This is serious o.

This is my first Benz n I think I've spent more on this car in repairs and parts replacements within few months of owning than on my jap for a year.
Car TalkRe: Mercedes Benz Thread by matson: 9:23pm On Aug 12, 2013
Same response from the "reliability of c180". Please respond here.

It drives Well on over half tank. The gauge at the dash isn't faulty. I had to take it to the mechanic who washed the fuel pump n changed the plugs (he insisted on the plugs been changed). There was a bit of improvement till the tank went around the 1/4 level and the revv went hard. Had to do a full tank and its been driving fine.

I will wash the tank this weekend. I'd Like to do that and get a guage. Can I get only the guage without the fuel bump? Any idea the cost? Or the cost of a new tank? If getting a new tank do I need to get new bump and guage?

Thanks a lot. Was looking forward to your response.

Thinking of fixing this and put the car up for sale.

Have a look into your fuel tank. I'm sure you will find something interesting.
Ok, will do. Thanks.

Car doc, no mod as been done on the car. Never hard any problem from fuel bump. Will Have ur suggestion on the list to look at. Thanks.
Car TalkRe: Urgent Help Needed - C240 by matson(op): 10:38pm On Aug 11, 2013
I won't rule out the faulty gauge completely, but the third time it happened, I had way more gas as displayed by the indicator than the previous times. I'd do a full tank in the morning. Thanks for your contribution.
Car TalkUrgent Help Needed - C240 by matson(op): 10:19pm On Aug 11, 2013
Can someone help me out:

My car went off yesterday while taking a bend and refuse to revv When it comes on. Had a mechanic to look up the problem But suggested we add some more fuel even tho my car had fuel to the 1/4 level. The car came on, revved quite alright, performed alright till same night, and same thing happened. I had to get more fuel to get the car going.

With a bit over a half tank, took car out today and same thing happened. Had to get additional 4 liters before the car could stay on and revv.

Any idea on what the problem might be before going to the mechanic tomorrow?

The car is a 2003 C240 W203. Also, a service B has been done but still display a 200 miles exceeded on service B.

au.hanson:
Then surprisingly smart guy, it looks like the engine is weak..let a good mechanic or spare part dealer(some of them like mine are very knowledgeable) observe it.Does it emits smoke when u start up the engine? i dnt mean vapour.
Whats MAF and body actuator. Where are they located in a w203. How do I check the rpm?

Any idea for the cost of a cat for my w203? Noticed its been removed. Can I get just the cat or a complete exhaust.

Cleared errors and did refill. A/C working fine. Thanks for your contribution.
Car TalkRe: Reliability Of C180 and W202's IN GENERAL by matson: 8:36am On Apr 30, 2013
You are right. I only found out recently after a refill about 3/4weeks ago. Is there any harm in letting out the refrigerant and do a refill?

Thanks for the links, really helpful. I ordered an OBD2 bluetooth adapter which I intend using with Torque, hopefully, I can use it to clear the error and refil the gas.

matson: The AC-off button in my 2003 c240 stays on, and this is preventing cool air from the vent. Any suggestions? I have tried running a reset but no cool air comes out during the reset circle.
Any help with this?

Nairaland GeneralRe: Sexkillz, The Omo Mo by matson: 4:00pm On Apr 12, 2013
sexkillz: [color=#000030]So you were pissed because I rightly banned you for derailing, and because I engage in discussions? You complain I am partial because I banned you?

We have seen how your complain because you were rightfully banned, means something is wrong. Where are the other instances? Can I see them? Cos it seems everyone who was rightfully banned and complains, also means something was wrong.

And what will you do, when I show you why everyone complaining deserved a ban, since you know everything?

ComputersRe: My Online Shopping Experience With Jumia.com <<Case Resolved!!>> by matson: 2:15pm On Mar 21, 2013
I have made purchases from them a few times and they always delivered, even though some of my payment method is on delivery. Though not refunding you within the refund period is wrong, I don't think jumia.com should be tagged fraudulent.
Car TalkRe: Mercedes Benz Thread by matson: 6:52am On Mar 19, 2013
The alternator checked out fine. Had to refill the refrigerant for the AC too, and was shocked to see "Battery Under Voltage, Turn consumers off" warning. This was when AUTO button of the air con is pressed. Had to manually adjust the fan speed and everything seems to work out just fine.

I'd like to know what the normal operating temperature for this car is, cos it runs at 98^F with out the air con and around 120^F with the Air con.

Need to get coolant as well, any suggestions on the best brand/preferred available in Abuja?
Car TalkRe: Mercedes Benz Thread by matson: 1:10pm On Mar 15, 2013
Trac: Take it to your mechanic and request a P.P.I (post-purchase-inspection). A competent mechanic will do the job for you. The best replacement for the alternator is the one made by Mercedes Benz. It should have the star logo on it.
Thanks, I'd do that this weekend. It ought to be delivered to me today. Was told about the alternator which was replaced in Lagos. Id have it checked out if it has the star sign. Anything else to look out for?
Car TalkRe: Mercedes Benz Thread by matson: 9:05pm On Mar 14, 2013
After ready every single post on this thread, I finally concluded my purchase of a c240, 2003 model.

I'd like to know what I should expect, when to do my first service etc.

Already, I have a faulty alternator. What's d best replacement.
