  1. How many kms your car has done??? Its not normal to have engine open before 200-300k kms, but in some case it is possible. And yes when 2-3 pistons are behaving like this, its better to completely overhaul the engine as you dont open engine everyday and its better to change all piston and its piston rings too (actually because of which cylinder losses the pressure). There is one quality professional workshop in Rashidiya i take my merc, check with them about estimate and time. Mercedes R us: 04 2852800

  2. If the exhaust gives white smoke for a few seconds when you starts the engine after it has been sitting for night, and then runs normally, it could mean that the rubber valve stem seals have perished - especially if the vehicle is a few years old and has done over 100k+ kms.

    White smoke or semi white can be produced in several ways. One way is oil this is normally a whitish blue to blue smoke and has the apparent smell of oil being burned. Next could be antifreeze when it is being burned it has a sweet type of smell and tends to dissipate in the air rather quickly.

  3. Visit Mercedes R us in rashidiya, try to be vigilant as they are good and very good but at the same time little cocky in squeezing extra buck by exhorbitantly inflating the problem and make it sound so big that you will ready to spend 3000 dhs for the job of 300 dhs labour. But they know their work with good workmanship, no doubt.

  4. I really doubt they will install it for you. But if you take the car then they can see and advise whether it will fit or not for sure.

    Remember to bargain good, and if you buy make sure ask them to refund money if it doesnt fit.

    Head unit swap wont take long to change, take a stroll in shj industrial area and i am sure you will find some good garage to fix it.

    Same i have done few years back.

  5. Very true Ezah, thats why i said its practically impossible. Changing so much things and spending on different things makes no point. Once you resale the car you wont get any dime extra. So why bother.

    Just for fun, on BMW road in shj closer to mazza signal i have seen some shops selling head units, see if that quick replace without the wiring loom can help. Those guys are pretty flexible in selling and will also accept it back if it doesn't fit. You can try that.
