Kewtt:

That's not a joyful experience.... Driving like on bed rest

Yet you're eyeing heavenlybang's e500?

G007:
Good evening, Mercedes gurus. I am about to get a 2011 C300 (non-4matic), I would love to know the pros and cons of the car, what oil to use e.t.c. This will be my first Benz.
Please advice

Kewtt:

Not on the same level

StarDiamonds:
i want to TREAT this baby like an egg!

I want to use the recommended oil and flush out the old oil so everything is new

Opexzy:
My secondary school nickname, no big deal.

StarDiamonds:
okay. Your contact please. I’d have to flush and refill when i get it from you

StarDiamonds:
where can i find it?

StarDiamonds:
Brodys them

I got this exact cls500 2009 and being that I’ve never used a cls before( used a c300 ) can you all please suggest the engine oil to use, the intervals i need to wait change the oil, brake fluid etc.
I went for it because of the raw power it carries.
The mileage is just 54,000 and everything is still neat.

It’s a v8 with 304hp, but i plan on doing a muffler delete to get that roaring sound, and some tune up to get to 384hp.


Suggestions are welcomed please. I’d like to take care of this baby, like it’s my first love

Heavenlybang,nakoks,kewtt,kingrein,diportivio and my other bosses, your suggestions are needed!

radautoworks:
so how far? I missed this

HeavenlyBang:


My front driver's side is already clunking. Will fix this week.

blackfm:
Ive got some electrical issue with COMMAND on my 08 C300 radio. The radio turns off by itself every 30 minutes. It will display a message to start ignition and go off after 3 minutes.
I can listen to radio, CDs, aux cable and what not but i have to manually turn off my radio when parked and manually turn it on when I drive.

I looked into it more and many people suggested its caused by the iPod kit being faulty and causing a short in the circuit. I checked the ipod cable in the glove box and the ipod wire is mangled, like a dog chewed it. The car came in like that.
I have unplugged the ipod adapter tucked away behind the front safe, still no joy.the harness is still there though, I don't want to toy with the wiring. Some posts claim their issue was sorted after removing the harness.

Also, my volume and call buttons on my steering wheel dont work, the dial pad does not light up and night/day mode display on command doesn't auto switch.
I can't set the time on my dashboard too.

I can live with the issue but I'll prefer to fix it and properly enjoy these function, turning on COMMAND every 30 minutes is a pain in the butt really.

I'll appreciate recommendations of a good tech to sort this out.

blackfm:


I know aunty radu @radautoworks can sort me out but my pocket is afraid

drtee247:

@ Nakoks, How much is brake pad for 2006 toyota corolla

dannybrasky:


Most times the culprit of a bad SAM is water.
You can't reach a conclusion until car is scanned as advised by one of our oga's above.

SAM Can go as high as 250k to 300k the last time I checked.
I have seen situations where it is being opened and cleaned up properly and it starts working properly after. Don't know if its advisable though,but get car scanned.

weyreypey:

Why is it 750,000 naira? Is the engine kaput?

Carbuyer83:


Please I need right (passenger's side) side mirror cover for my B200 (2008) Turbo. See attached pic.

bizzle2:

Thanks . I understand the parameters, I'm curious about personal user experiences.
I'll settle for the 5W 30 or 40. at bolded was why I didn't completely agree with the guy.
I have two 1litre bottles of Mobil 0W 30 (came with). mad I can't use them

Philadelphia:


So someone should read 418 pages (including banters) just to get a piece of advice to inform his choice?

Damn! I least expected this from you.

stinville:
Hello guys. I'm new here. I recently have been thinking about getting a Mercedes Benz, the M class in particular (2007 or 2009). I don't know much about Benz but I'm being discouraged already cos they say it's too expensive to maintain. Is this so? Again my budget is 3.5m, would that get me a decent ride as specified above? Thanks

Y1nka:




Any Mercedes Benz (C-class) that is affordable and fuel efficient?!?

Whats my best bet!
