Please what is CANBUS?

I scanned my car and it brought out error codes related to CANBUS
Kewtt:


Opposite uch close to the junction that goes to the sectariat... only two items are usually responsible for a Merc misbehaving electrics.... CANBUS and SAM.... few people can diagnose CANBUS properly. Definitely not Japanese mechs. I visited the workshop about a decade ago.

Please can you drop the address of the rewire?
Chelseafan1:


Lol, naso, but we are addicted...I've driven Lexus, Avalon, Highlander, they are really nice cars but I love my Mercedes.

I eventually took my car away from those bastards, took it a rewire in IB who deals with Benz only around UCH, the guy solved all my problems in just a day, it happened that my SAM wasn't faulty at all as those idiots suggested. He changed some things under the front rug and my lights, wipers, horn, trafficators all came back to life.

I've been so happy, now I can enjoy my Mercedes in peace.

All I spent was we changed three of those things, each costing 23k, he charged me 5k for Workmanship, I no even price am, I was still thanking him.

Most of these big Autoshops are useless.

They could have gotten a new front SAM for 260k as they said and that wouldn't have solved my problems.

I'd have left there with over 500k debt, I didn't spend more than 74k at this Rewires place.

My fan also stopped blowing aggressively non stop, it now works very fine, picks up once AC is powered on and it's silent.

The 2009 RX350 is much better
More luxurious more power than the 330

kachiz:
Please guys, what could you recommend between an RX330 06 and an RX 350 09.

I know the obvious reason is the year difference.
But are there other things/reasons one can consider in making a decision since they basically look the same?

The 2012 GLK or C300 will be cheaper to maintain and more fuel efficient than the GX 470 &GS350
Joeeasy:



What are your thoughts on the 2013 - 2015 GS350 for a first car, given that it's quite rare shocked ? or The GX470 2008 considering the nature of our roads.

I also have the ES350 and C300 as options, but I'm prioritizing the two above.

Would appreciate your response.

Car Talk / Re: The Official Car Comparison/Recommendation Thread by shoppyanno(m): 2:22pm On May 08, 2022
I appreciate your take on the subject matter.


A tough choice but the GS has more standard luxury offering than the E class.

Reliability both are almost on par

Problematic apart from the SBS issues in the E class, nothing that tough you can't face. The lexus EPS can fail too when driven in flooded areas.

Fuel efficient they aren't fuel efficient vehicles like that because of their class.

Maintenance the E class should be cheaper to maintain than the GS[/quote]

Sir,
I dont understand the message you are trying to pass across

You didn’t post this on time nah.. it’s been fixed.

Going forward AMA use the recommended folks on here.[/quote]
Car Talk / Re: Mercedes E320 2005 Model or Lexus GS350 2008 Model by shoppyanno(m): 8:12pm On May 07, 2022
I appreciate your response Sir

I can't speak for other Lexus vehicles, or even other 2008 GS 350s

But the one I drove from Abuja to PH and back didn't even cough all through the journey.. I didn't even experience a flat Tyre smiley ..

I only topped up a little less than half litre of oil after the trip to return it to the Guage it was on before it.. But that's to be expected as I drove the vehicle as if I stole it, at some point even doing 190km/hr smiley.. When car engines are put to such high revs for a prolonged period, its quite natural that they burn a wee bit of oil smiley

So I would say that if I had driven like a proper human being on that journey and maintained reasonable revs and speed limits like a law-abiding citizen, there won't have been need for an oil top-up[/quote]

I appreciate you feed back.

Can you talk on the observation I made in the Club lexus about burning oil, over heating issues & gear transmission issues.
Hope the GS 350 doesn't have such issues

Don't mind the guy above me..

A relative drives a 2008 GS 350 which I have driven extensively.. So I think I can speak with some authority on this one smiley

For such a hefty, relatively powerful, and luxurious sedan, it has amazing fuel economy.. Its mpg is in the mid 20s.. You might get 25mpg on highway trips.. On town paroles, you should be getting close to 20mpg..some nigga on the Club Lexus international forum even got 30+ mpg on his 2008 GS350..

Feel free to do online research about the car's expected mpg instead of relying on the opinion of people who haven't even been near it in real life, much less drive it.

So yes.. As long as you get a good unit, no need to sweat about fuel economy.. As long as a Keke or Bajaj motorcycle isn't your point of reference for fuel economy smiley
Car Talk / Re: The Official Car Comparison/Recommendation Thread by shoppyanno(m): 2:04pm On May 07, 2022
A 2005 E320 or a 2008 GS 350

Which is more reliable?
Which is less problematic?
Which is more fuel efficient?
Which is maintenance friendly?

I've been reading about how LEXUS burns oil, has gear transmission problems, overheating issues.


So which is a better choice?

Car Talk / Re: Club-Lexus by shoppyanno(m): 1:52pm On May 07, 2022
Hi Guys ��‍♂️

Can you please do a review of the 2008 Lexus GS 350 for me?

Is the GS a reliable car?

I've been reading about how LEXUS burns oil and gear transmission issues on this thread.

Also I observed that people complained about overheating, brake rotors/disc problem and excessive fuel consumption

Hope the 2008 GS 350 doesn't have these issues

I'm doing this for a friend who had a problem choosing between a 2005 Mercedes E 320 and a 2008 GS 350

GS350 easily. Not even close.
Sir,

What are your reasons for picking the GS over the E320?

I also observed that on the
club lexus thread, a lot of people are complaining about lexus burning engine oil, over heating, transmission issues.
Hope the GS 350 is not plauged with these issues

Hope the GS doesn't have these issues

I'm more concerned about cost of maintenance. Which is cheaper of the two?
Car Talk / Re: Mercedes E320 2005 Model or Lexus GS350 2008 Model by shoppyanno(m): 12:15pm On May 07, 2022

• Cost of Maintenance

Which is a better choice overall?
