  1. reetings, everybody. Seeking guidance, please. I own a 2020 Mercedes E Class Saloon (e220) diesel type. Last Friday, I brought my car to the major Mercedes dealer for a Service A. After returning home after the servicing, I inspected the oil level on the instrument cluster and found it to be quite low. Mercedes informed me that the oil level I described is correct, since it will increase as the vehicle warms up. After driving around 60 miles on Saturday, I inspected the oil level and it remained low. Mercedes claims there are no issues and that the situation is typical, although my invoice indicates that 6 litres of oil should have been added. I have sent an image of the instrument's reading. Is this accurate given that my vehicle was serviced on Friday? Where should the reading be when the engine is cold and warm? I would much appreciate any suggestions. Mercedes has informed me that they would replenish my oil at my residence tomorrow. I am concerned about how I can verify that they have really added the 6 litres for which they have billed me. Any advice on this would be much welcomed as it seems like a mistake made by the dealer where they emptied the oil but did not fully tilt it up. Please refer to the accompanying image showing the current oil reading. Thank you in advance.
  2. In 2014, I used the red V8 Bentley often. The Bentley would emit a distinctive aroma typical of its brand, while also performing as a Grand Tourer with a genuine feeling of importance and impressive speed. I often drove this automobile from Crewe to the Lake District while working on its development. Truthfully, the Audi A8 I purchased in 2020 was a superior vehicle. Efficient, silent, cosy, roomy, and capable of achieving 55mpg, making it more cost-effective to operate. It just depends on how significant a prestigious emblem is to you.
  3. Although I lack familiarity with the CL model, I had a S Class for many years and utilised it for long-distance commuting. This automobile is quite easy to drive without any attempt of being sporty.
  4. It has been a long time since I last saw it, yet I would often find myself in possession of my own keys.
  5. If the coolant level is satisfactory, I would suggest examining the error codes using the OBD2 system.
  6. The seller bears responsibility in accordance with the Sale of Goods Act, making the use of a guarantee unnecessary.
  7. Although I am not an authority on the subject, I have experience the need for repainting shortly after applying a ceramic coating. They implemented a delay of around one week, or maybe 10 days, prior to reapplying the ceramic coating. In my opinion, a period of around 3-4 weeks should enough. However, for confirmation, I would recommend consulting the bodyshop, the website or manufacturer of the detailed product, and the detailer (if you are opting for professional services).
  8. I am familiar with the hold feature of the previous SBC unit. I believe that MB included this feature in the updated models of non-SBC vehicles. However, I am not engaging in that behavior in my own actions...at least not deliberately.
  9. These do not contain the letter "w". Only C / S. Do not assume that it also occurs in S.
  10. The transmission and torque converter fluid have been replaced, along with the filter.
  11. Evidently, the engine has enough torque even at idle.
  12. Indeed, it is correct. Laugh out loud! Are there any other E500 owners who would want to share their thoughts on the facelift? There are no issues with the codes, and the performance of the vehicle is flawless in terms of driving and shifting.
  13. Greetings, everyone. Does your E-class petrol automatic vehicle have a tendency to go slowly forward while it is in gear and you release the brake pedal when stationary? My 2007 E500 lacks this feature, which is atypical for an automobile? Thank you.
  14. It is unlikely that the guarantee for a vehicle of this age would cover the tyres. The tyre with a tread depth of 7mm may have been replaced due to a puncture, which might explain the mismatch. It is recommended to replace the tyre when the tread depth reaches 3mm, since a tread depth of 7mm is near to that of a new tyre.
  15. I completely concur with all you have said. Our cherished possessions come with a hefty price tag, therefore it is perplexing why one would choose to use such establishments. The drive-through brush roller establishments provide a paint finish akin to an ice rink. Similarly, the sponges used by manual vehicle washes contain tubs of dirty water, grit, and potent chemicals. While this information may be valuable in retrospect, it is advisable not to use it after you have resolved the issue with your automobile.
  16. Regrettably, the one solution to address this issue is to replace the lettering and grille, unless you possess the option to have them repainted alongside the bonnet. I don't believe you would have much opposition with the establishment's disclaimer that washing is done at the owner's own risk, but it is worth trying. It is strongly advised, as said before and in other blogs, to avoid using a drive-through car wash located on a street corner.
  17. It seems that the establishment is a nearby drive-thru, and they have used a powerful acid or traffic film remover (TFR) to achieve the streaky visual appearance included in your description.
  18. I use this specific kind of vent holder in conjunction with the Auckley

  21. Did MB fail to provide an explanation for the cause of the lacquer peeling on their product?
