Guys this is an advise to avoid these Car washes that use this high pressure water gun to wash cars, especially careless ones!

It's currently costing me almost 2 hundred thousand to fix my 2016 CLA250.

1. How they did it I don't know, but some how, water got into my left head light and my chargers got burned. Cost of changing those, 60-70 thousand naira!

2. My car had a parking break sensor issue some weeks back. It would not leave parking break. I called Gazzuzz (this is an appreciation message to him too). Man's a gem! Called him and he picked on the first call. He was so nice and suggested ways to help.

Unfortunately I didn’t exactly have the tolerance to start digging through all the Mercedes Benz padding to get to the ASICS he spoke of, lol. Finally fixed it and it cost me 25k

3. Just yesterday, my car started showing blind-spot assist failure. Pointers wouldn't work and AC would switch off on its own. Took it to the tech, he ran a scan and went ahead to fix it. This one cost 50k.

Then the techie told me. Avoid those car washes. Water from their high pressure spray gun gets into certain places they shouldn't and those cars and water are not exactly friends. Just as Gazzuzz told me when I called him over the park brake error, man asked if I had been "swimming" with the car lol!

I also randomly remember my first C300, also got an EIS fault directly from the car wash. Car had to be towed to the mechanic from the car wash!

So from today, I have resolved to do my washing by myself! My hand no cut! God bless us all and give us funds to maintain these elegant pieces of engineering we drive! Selah.

Modified: I forgot to mention that for some miracle, my passenger back seat is currently a pond! How water got in I don't know but my rugs are soaked and dripping water. Anyone else suspects the culprits? Yeah your guess is as good as mine!

Please share the contact of the guy that helped fixed your stuff and location. One Kazeem done operate nonsense now my A/C and engine Fan isn’t working

While you went digging as typical of a Mercedes jobless fan boy who can only afford the types murtala Muhammed was killed in, you somehow failed to see that i also own a 2015 Corolla and a 2015 Ford ranger,
So I can actually tell the difference between good cars and rickety old mercedes jalopies,
Keep consoling yourselves untop cars that are old enough to vote for the upcoming elections ,
Any benz older than 5 years is just not worth it,know this today.

We have passed through this stage last month, can you please move on...we have noticed you and your cars


Thank you sir

My Mercedes Benz c230 kompressor w202 refused to come up, I called my kazeem, he opened that red kompressor metal cover on the engine n remove the plugs, we discovered that the plugs were all soaked with engine oil. He cleaned the plugs thoroughly with a carburetor cleaner n fixed them back, the car starts but was later giving a mix sound. He then concluded that the valve seals have gone bad and that was the cause of the plugs getting soaked, that it needs to be replaced. Engineers in the house what do u think. I'll appreciate comments.

Yes,it's clogged drain from the sunroof.
Had it on my 204

I’m noticing that sometimes when it rains, my foot mat on the driver side is usually soaked in water, guessing that’s the same thing you’re talking about

Please how did you sort it before I run into bigger issues

Car type is 204 as well

Good Evening

I own a c300 Mercedes Benz 2008 4matic. I noticed if I just put off my car and use the car remote to lock the door it works but if I use after 5 to 10 minutes it doesn’t work, it works irregularly. What can I do I’m tired of using the manual key to open the door éverytime.

Replace the kegfob battery.
Re: Mercedes Benz Thread by Oluyinkaade001: 2:30pm On Sep 02, 2021
I also noticed the right front fog light of my c300, 2008 model goes on and off by itself after parking thereby draining my battery. After parking I ensure that it’s off but after a while it comes on by itself. What can I do about it ?

Ok I will try that. But one technician that deals in car battery help put a battery in it but it didn’t work so he put a machine around the key to check. He said the sensor is bad that I need to change the sensor. I’m trying to be sure that’s the real problem.
