Where can I get original ABS sensor? Cause since I replaced my 2012 glk follow come abs, every other abs I bought don't usually last , both new and tokunbo.
Same issue you had with new and tokunbo replacements. Then it's most likely an installation problem you are having. If you are in Lagos or Port Harcourt chat me for additional assistance.

Bros this your doctrine of Synthetic for 5 year old cars can you back it with empirical research evidence or pronouncements or its just something you concocted? You have been saying this thing and no one wants to answer you ..........please prove to me we learn everyday.

A full synthetic oil is not suitable for high mileage vehicles or older ones. In fact, synthetic oil is slipperier than conventional oil, which is lower in viscosity, less compatible with seals, and therefore more likely to leak or leak in places conventional oil would not be. It is completely untrue once again.

It is designed to resist the buildup of sludge and deposits, resulting in a longer life and reduced wear. Amsoil Extended Life Synthetic Motor Oil is suitable for all engines, although it is particularly good for higher mileage vehicles.

It is possible to use synthetic oil in older cars, as long as the oil is properly maintained. Fenske said that Porsche has been filling its cars with synthetic oil since 1996 and that synthetic options are available even for classic cars.

In any case, he advised checking manufacturer recommendations. A full synthetic oil is not suitable for high mileage vehicles or older ones. Older vehicles with higher mileage will benefit from synthetic oils, just as they will from new engines that are designed for new vehicles.

It is necessary to break in a new car with conventional oil: Some people may think they have to use conventional oil for cars for a while before switching to synthetic oil. It is not recommended by any vehicle manufacturer for this procedure.

The synthetic oil industry claims that synthetic oils provide better protection than conventional oils, but switching back and forth between synthetic and conventional oils will not harm the engine in any way.

I think one of the major problem of c300 (2008) is the wheels. Make sure you don’t run into a pot hole. If the tire doesn’t tear, the rim will bend or the shaft will dislocate lol. Have had bad experiences on lekki epe expressway.

Una go dey sell oil up and down without cinsidering the age and model of a car

Why sell a synthetic oil to a 2005 car... That car is 17yr old and there must be wears and tears. Synthetic oil is meant for cars less than 5 years

Sell the client High Milage oil... It takes care of old engines
I have been using synthetic in a 2003 model car for over 4yrs now. No issues. Using same in a 2005 vehicle for 9yrs now. No issue. What I know is that once you use synthetic in an engine tgat has formed sludge, kiss it good bye.

I can relate sir it's really not easy with the rate of FX it's really not easy keeping up with almost 80k for just servicing of an old car like that.

A can of mobile 1 now is around 27/30k
Cost of filter and mechanic you're the asking about 70/80k already. You've even talk about cost of fueling and maintenance, how about children's school fees among others.

I was in your shoes b4 I simply down graded to semi synthetic oil.

You can try Northwest full synthetic oil the oil is okay if you insist on synthetic blend but best alternative is semi synthetic not that 20w50

It has finally happened, Elebu road don kill one of my bags grin

Before I start overthinking replacement like an American, what will a Nigerian living in Nigeria do to fix this?

1) Simply replace the bag? From where?

2) Convert to traditional springs?

Thanks.
