If you say Benz are over engineered,what will you now say about Audi o?
I haven't driven audi before but I also learnt that it is over engineered

Benz is over engineered.... My suv used a fibre optic for speakers instead of normal wires

The door cables and central locking system uses vacuum cables... U can imagine

The bonnet cable is complicated


Benz is over engineered but that is what you get driving a premium brand though

If Benz is having a B.Sc in over engineering of their cars,then Audi is the vice chancellor of the university that Benz graduated from.

Those guys complicate every little things in their vehicles with technology.

You can't be driving a Range Rover and expect to spend like one driving a corolla

You can't be driving a Benz and expect to spend like one driving a Mitsubishi

you made a mistake... Benz engines aren't to be washed, you clean it with damp rag or use thinner


The best bet, change your fuse box... It has been compromised

Mercedes Benz and Exxon Mobil has a partnership so its expected for MB to recommended Mobil motor oil for their cars since they're both business partners but that doesn't mean any other brands can't do better or compete with the recommended oil for MB.

Liquid Molly is Germany but not in any partnership with his brother company MB so you won't see MB recommend it for bridge of contract and court case but that doesn't mean the oil can't do better than the recommended oil.

Which ever you decides to go with make sure you are getting the right and genuine oil for your car because there are lot of adulterated oil especially the Mobil 1 itself.

Midoda sells genuine Liquidmolly you can contact him.

Dmechy and radautoworks also sell genuine oil these are the guys I can vouch for any day anytime.

Pls can you share your experience on the symptoms you get knowing the MAF is bad? My W203, mecho says its bad but I've been unplugging it to have a smooth ride for s9me time now but when plugged car jerks with a very rough idle and after some distance like 5km drive car goes off even on motion but I usually don't have all of these troubles when I unplug it.

What are the signs you get?

Who even parks without straightening their wheels anyway.

...Lol! ...as it turns out, in driving training in the UK, you're advised to turn your wheels towards the kerb when parking so that if the vehicle rolls off for any reason, it would move towards the kerb and get stopped by it, rather than moving straight and perhaps hitting another vehicle..So where does this tip leave Benz owners?

Fiberoptic cabling is a feature of several European manufacturers, not necessarily just Mercedes Benz. 2005+ Volvo Xc90s use a fiberoptic system for most vehicle electronics, including the sound system.

Rough idling, it goes off on motion or inside slow traffic, delayed response to acceleration and delayed in shifting gear when engine is cold. This is my third year of owing the car so I am familiar with this symptoms
