It is better and safer to exchange cows for your new G Wagon, at the rate of 5 mature cows being equal to one million naira. At this rate of exchange, a G Wagon costing say 30 million naira, will only require 150 cows to be herded to the car dealership while making sure all farm crops encountered along the way are eaten completely by the cows so that they don't lose weight and value on the way to the car dealership.

God bless Nigeria, the Federal Republic of Cows and other Lesser Beings.

Good evening. pls I need your advice. I make use of Mercedes Benz w202 c240 V6 engine, 12 plugs.using the car since 2015, bought it from cotonour. had issues with the AC, changed the compressor to that of Peugeot, and the belt became longer. AC is working no issue, but I notice the oil is always going short, and brings out white smoke. the mechanic said I need to change the egine, because the plugs are always soaking oil. Could it be changing the AC compressor had caused the engine to go weak. Because I do the car service regularly. Thank you .

I have a mercedez Benz c230 Kompressor (2004 model) with 271 i4 engine.
Car doesn’t start, sound like no compression when u crank the car . I got it scanned the are the codes I got : p0365- camshaft position "B" circuit bank 1
2:p0128: coolant thermostat ( coolant temperature below thermostat regulating temperature ) .
Note: these two codes are the current codes when the car was scanned. I list the pending codes below:
1: the two current codes showed up on the pending codes follow by these other codes; p0335- crankshaft position circuit "a”
P0336- crankshaft position circuit “A” Range/performance
Please how do I go with the repair
Re: Mercedes Benz Thread by SteveUg(m): 7:31am On Apr 22, 2021
TheVictim01:

I wish I could help, but I'm based in kano. "kompressor" is a 'Supercharger' kit in Mercedes terms.
Yours is faulty and needs to be serviced, or worst of all, I don't think naija mechanics know how to go about that issue, except maybe a turbocharger. For dump truck and large vehicles uses such induction devices a lot, all in all, visit those mechanics and see whether they can get there head around it (iveco, daf, and mack) mechanics.

Did this start immediately after the ac conversion or much later?
What oil do you use in servicing this merc and what is your oil change interval?
Re: Mercedes Benz Thread by Idiaamin: 4:57am On Apr 23, 2021
It happended much later after the AC conversion . I make use of mobile oil, I change oil mediately I notice the oil sign pop up on the car dashboard.

Mobil 1 or Mobil xhp?
What sign? Is it the low oil pressure sign, low oil level sign or the maintenance required sign?

Good morning guys . I think it's time I get my first Benz. After research around my budget . I concluded on the 2012 (w204) c350 sport. With the updated interior and engine (m272,E35). I'd like to get advice on long term usage issues (oil consumption,knocking because of of our lack of premium fuel etc) if it has . Parts availablity. And if there was a better choice around this budget(maybe E?) . Moving from a 2010 Lexus GS350. Thank you .

You have done your research,very good please go ahead.Most of us here dey use rustbuckets � but those are the guys with the knowledge.My advice ,be careful with the quality of oil(dare to be different),regular use of premium fuel additives will do you good.

Parts are available though pricy
