MERCEDES W203 C180K: HOW TO REPLACE DEAD BATTERY

Changing battery for C180K is quite an easy work..

In my case, my 14 years old battery are suddenly dead. Although, I managed to strecth its life beyond its normal life cycle, but, it is time to replace that battery. Its not able to provide enough current anymore to crank the engine. Though, still work for smaller engine.

There is no specific procedure in doing this procedure..however, you might loss the setting in the car unless we have additional backup battery when doing replacement procedure. In my case, i dont have backup battery, so, i have to accept losing my setting.

In order to replace the battery, you need to have new battery and below is the battery specification for my W203 Mercedes.

100 Ah, 12V and 700A continuous current (CCA) with dimension 35.2cm (L) x 17.4cm (W) x 18.8cm (H)

There are several choices available on the market. You can get genuine Mercedes battery, but, It will cost you around RM1300++ and you get longer battery life time as my previous battery. And if you are on the budget, get high quality battery from Bosch or Varta.

Varta are known for making battery for mercedes, in my case, I went with Varta choice. I manage to get Varta Blue Dynamic with a bit higher CCA at cost around RM600 on 17 Jan 2018 this year. But, I am not sure how long this battery can last. Hopefully, it can last 2-4 years at least.

HONDA RS150 TPS: RPM TAK STABIL BILA NOT ON THROTTLE DAN PENYELESAIANNYA

Assalamualaikum dan salam sejahtera Isu TPS ni berlaku pada tahun lepas, Ogos 2020 (milage dalam 24000km, baru dua tahun pakai) sewaktu saya on the way ke KL Masa tu tunggang motor full throttle yang menyebabkan RPM nya selalu mencecah ke CUT-OFF (utk makluman, honda RS150 saya ni tak guna ECU custom, masih guna yang standard). Jadi saya perasan, bila selalu tunggang pada RPM yang sampai CUTT-OFF, ini menyebabkan kesan tak baik pada TPS..jadi utk yang belum jadi problem TPS ni..boleh la cepat ganti ECU ke ECU yang tanpa cutoff. APA TU TPS? TPS bermaksud Throttle positioning sensor..bahasa mudahnya alat ni bertujuan untuk mengesan kedudukan throttle body valve dimana udara masuk ke enjin untuk pembakaran. Dengan itu, baru la ECU tahu berapa banyak bahan bakar yang perlu utk pembakaran berdasarkan bukaan valve tu.  Bila TPS dah problem, TPS akan memberi maklumat yang salah pada ECU berkenaan besar mana valve tu buka, jadi nisbah bahan api dan udara jadi tak betul la. maka, tu yang jadi s

HONDA RS150 IACV: IACV PROBLEM? RPM NAIK TINGGI BILA HIDUPKAN ENJIN?

 Hi semua, Salam sejahtera Masalah IACV saya berlaku selepas isu TPS wujud di milage 24000+km..kemungkinan kedua2nya ini saling berkait. Masalah IACV hadir ketika saya on the way balik semula ke Johor, ketika bahan bakar berkurang dari tangki moto. SIMPTOM  ? bila hidupkan enjin honda RS150 saya, RPM akan naik tinggi dan kadang2 sukar dikawal. tengah jalan pun, jika stop di trafik light, rpm akan naik tinggi dan mengaum bising..so, isu ni biasanya disebabkan IACV IACV APA TU IACV? IACV bermaksud Idle Air Control Valve. bahasa mudahnya nak control udara masuk ke ruang pembakaran sewaktu motosikal kita idle (tanpa pulas pendikit atau throttle) iaitu semasa tak bergerak. FUngsi dia mcm choke la pada motor lama yg guna karburator supaya moto mudah di hidupkan dan dalam masa sama injap dikawal dan dikecilkan bila enjin motosikal telah panas. IACV idling control valve (anak panah, lubang udara yang dikawal) APA FUNGSI IACV? Jika kita dah pulas throttle, IACV dah tak digunakan dan valve udara
