nice so if I buy say a Benz c300 I don't need to install trackers and other anti theft stuff out there, and if you don't mind please elaborate, why is Benz hard to steal, is it because they can't sell it or they're security features that deter thieves.
Security futures, most of the MB keys are sensor enable, making it difficult to still.

Hello House

I currently used Peugeot 307 but considering Switching to Mercedes Benz. So I have this Neighbor that imported a Mercedes C230 2002/2004 model not sure of the year actually but it's a 6-cylinder engine.

Now my question is what will the fuel consumption ratio looks like looking at wia I was coming from.
This was the picture of the engine when I went for inspection.

Pls your advice will be greatly appreciated.
Counting on you dearly pls!!
This engine was never used on a C230.Ensure you know the model by running a VIN check

I dot have an idea of the oil grade used by previous owner. (No contact of the previous owner)
I used mobil3000 but it indicate oil shortage within a month of service.

I intend using high viscosity engine oil.
That Mobil 3000 is a useless oil .How can you use that on a Benz?of course it will burn and result to oil shortage.

Is it true that Benz cars are hardly stolen in Nigeria
A thief may have nothing to lose but not with a benz, he has a lot to lose stealing a benz.

Shey him won harvest the parts go sell ni abi him won change the key?
To change a MB key requires at least 200k, that's the smallest benz I can think of ooo... all those c300, GLE class No even go there.

Benz na bad market for car hijackers jare.

Besides most MB has factory installed tracker on it that no car hijackers no matter how good can deactivate it.
Even most benz users dont know their car jas a factory tracker on them.

You need the MB app from Mercedes itself to track it.

Our NPF the ones in that criminal department knows this

If you don't mind we can help you get a very good deal that suits your pocket and also guide you on how you can use any car you get so you don't have any issues.

I bought a 2015 C300 for a client 3yrs ago, and have also been guilding and monitoring it for proper maintenance, its been 3yrs down the line, the lady is still enjoying her car. A lot of people have lined up waiting for the time she decides to sell.

You sound funny sha.. the magic behind full tank is that the fuel level doesn't go down on time compare to when you buy fuel a bit. Thank you.
You are right. But once its starts dropping, it gies down very fast.

I fill my tank every monday sha...to keep the fuel pump healthy, and partly monitor the fuel consumption..cos lately my car dey guzzle fuel much.

Is ur check engine light on?
Change ur air filter
Check tyre pressures, make sure they're properly guaged.
Check ur driving pattern.
Use the right fluid and get 4seasons tyres.

The airfilter is ok.

I changed the manifold and airflow meter recently.

The check engine light is still on and the below picture is the issue.

I dont even drive around much these days... Just drive to work and back...I dont go out every sundays. I relax and watch matches, and get some good sleep too.

He suggested quartz 5000.
Incidentally my landlord uses same car as mine he uses the above engine oil.

My previous car was a c230 2000, I use same oil for several years before selling off to get this one.

hey fellas

Im driving a c180 2003 frog eyes model white top engine v4

Recently the issue I'm facing is sometimes the gear not entering park from drive when i want to shift to reverse if i want to reverse in a street. It will stop in neutral until I turn off the ignition before I can shift to park. And if I turn it back on, I can do it freely until another time. Randomly it will stuck again till i turn off ignition


Someone said its electrical issue and someone said it may be brake switch fault


My auto gear is shifting smoothly only face issue of getting stuck when going to R or P sometimes


I need ur input pls

This happened on my 05 w211, i can surely and guarantee you it’s 99% gear selector that needs to be changed, it’s not electrical at all. Just change the gear selector and use scanner to remove it from limp mode when changed. No let anyone tell u anything else
