I have problem with my 2001 Benz w203 c200 kompressor as it has refused to start.

Before it stopped working, it displayed check engine light and ' stop: engine off' on the dashboard and I experienced hard starting for 2 days before it stopped starting.Now, the car has refused to start and different auto electricians have come to inspect d car and they scanned it n said it is d brain box
Over 10 brain boxes have been tried on it but all to no avail. Two complete brain boxes with keys were tried but it still didn't start.
I urgently need help.

Hy Mr Ikenna
Kindly assist I got a Nigerian used car I 2021 and collected all the relevant documents. But on getting home I realized the cmr was missing I called the seller and was told it was missing. I proceeded to renew the papers and got another cmr. This year someone called me saying he's from car monitors asking if I was the one that registered the car. I said no he then told me to send my full name and color of the car so he can flag it. I don't understand what's happening. Please note I have renewed the car twice and since buying it I have been driving it with the old plates.

If the metal cap dries up and the plastic container if filled up, it means the content if the radiator (metal cap) is going into the plastic container due to overheating.

It's not supposed to be ao

Let your mechanic check your fan or check the cooling system to be sure everything is working fine.


An update on this issue.

The mechanic checked it and did some fixes but said that it is not a long lasting solution as the radiator is now weak and will need to be replaced. I have been using coolant since then and regularly top the coolant.

The Toyota Corolla was bought brand new in 2007 and the radiator has never be replaced since then.

Anybody with an idea of the cost of replacing a radiator?.

if it is naija used continue with the Mobil XHP, but change oil and filter every 3months or 3000km whichever comes first

Good day everyone, I am in dire need of advice, so here's my situation. I currently have a Lexus ES350 '08 and where I live has terrible roads, My front and back bumpers look haggard, they always hit the floor and I am tired of it. So I am thinking of getting an SUV, but I am torn between Ford Explorer 2013 Limited and Mercedes Benz GLK 350 2011 both are Toks. I just want a car with serious clearance and that is moderately easy to maintain(I have heard lots of horror stories about Ford and even Benz sef).
Oh and if you have any better option apart from these two, I'll appreciate. The budget is 8-10M

Get a highlander or Rav4 or RX350 or even a 4runner 2010

Avoid that explorer by any means necessary.

Yes it can, those vehicles abound on the sagamu Ore expressway. But better to buy the suzuki carry with 1.3L engine than those with 600cc engine.
