Have owned that W204 for 4+ years now.
Apart from suspension parts,only significant thing I changed is rear differential for a cheap 25k.
Others na wear and tear items.
I wonder how ppl erroneously think that car is expensive to maintain.

its a solid ride, i've thoroughly enjoyed it

To decode your Mercedes Benz and know the features it came with from factory, enter your VIN into the site lastvin. ( of course add www before and .com after. I'm avoiding ban from their useless spambot). Thank me later.

in the past 3 hours, I have finished up 3 work projects, and prepared a couple of contracts for processing tomorrow

you've been here, whining and crying like a hurt, lost puppy

all this because someone said your ml320 is 1999

lol, this is extremely pathetic

what a weakling of a man

I know teenagers with better fortitude than you

town crier

the only other person I have come across that exhibits this sissified behaviour is legalwealth

you and he could be twins

lamentations twins

Nigeria will turn good when you show to be indeed a man by not hiding behind several newly opened monikers to be spewing rubbish.

Jobless coward bragging and insulting people without having anything to show for it. Grow up and use your main moniker instead of using this you just created less than two months ago.

Gurus, I need advice on Mercedes Benz B 200 2007 model. Cost of parts, reliability and drivability

That is one Benz I love the design another one I love the design is R class... But that B class is more of an European assembled Benz and just few of them in Nigeria... But it is a great design, you know that most of us not all , but most of us buy from USA ... I will ask my mechanic about that car...

But I like the design... I like hatchbacks......

It's a small engine Benz and 4 plugs...so as of the economy it will be great but don't expect speed of the V6....

I see it as more of a city car....than touring car! But in my own humble opinion...I juy love the design, as of the parts,I can't say for sure...

Look at this video and know if it helps

I think you got a bad SBC to replace the faulty one in your vehicle.
SBC modules will fail with time....nothing can stop this from happening.
It's never a good practice to replace SBC module with a used one.
Also, check break light switch.
Ask people around that drives the same vehicle as yours for a good mechanic in Benin.
Please oo, your vehicle is: Break by wire: don't let any body without experience to touch it or be prepared to get another car.
Goodluck.

Thanks so much for the input. Does it mean it's same sbc that is faulty? The brake light switch is in perfect condition because it was tested. Can I replace the pressure accumulator only cos I really do not know if it's d full sbc that is bad. Why does it reset itself wen you switch off ignition and switch back on again. Yea I know it's drive by wire and the brakes are so complicated. Fun to drive when working though. Do u have any contact in beniny pls?

Like I said before it's possible that you replaced the faulty SBC module with a dead module.
SBC modules have a life span, once they get to full circle they stop to work.
This was how benz engineers created them.
They are wear and tear item...expect to see many used ones in the unregulated Nigeria spare parts markets.
The only way out is to order a new SBC module(brand new)

There are technicians who will work on the module to get it to work again indefinitely but I don't recommend this practice, it's dangerous.
I am telling you this cos I know you will encounter them in your quest to fix ur car.
What they do is to manipulate the counter and make it to stop counting break circles.
This is dangerous in my opinion but some people think otherwise.
SBC problems is common in your model 03-06 I think.
I don't know anyone in Benin
Ask people around that drive same car.

Goodluck.

Check the alternator. Rodents may have done some damages to it while it was parked.

This best explains why the new battery (and every battery you will put) keeps discharging.
