  1. I possess a 2020 C-Class coupe. The oil level has decreased to slightly above the minimum threshold (refer to the image). I returned it to the main dealer to ascertain whether there was a leak or if it was consuming oil. A visual check was conducted, and I was informed that there were no leaks and that the amount was acceptable, although being slightly above the minimum threshold, with no further explanation provided. The vehicle has barely accumulated 39,000 miles. I feel apprehensive over this matter. Do you have any suggestions?

  3. If you appreciate Italian sports vehicles featuring this colour scheme and imported from Japan, you may wish to examine this exquisite specimen.
  4. It is quite rare to encounter a Testarossa (or its derivatives) in a hue other than red paired with black, and that particular specimen is exquisite. A friend own one in blue over red, and it is exceptionally beautiful.
  5. The "very clever Mercedes-Me" may be alerting you that Christmas is approaching and that you need to get the remaining gifts. The Star signifies the forthcoming event. The purple square symbolises a gift-wrapped package. The boundary between them is the timeline.
  6. I am uncertain whether a second battery exists, unless it pertains to a hybrid model. Nonetheless, it is essential to consult an auto electrician or an independent Mercedes-Benz technician to identify any parasitic drain and attempt to isolate the module or circuit responsible for the issue. Please inform us of your current town or city, and members will likely be able to recommend someone. 👍
  7. The voltage measurements being conducted here are incompatible for assessing a battery's state of charge. Utilising the battery voltage as an indicator of a battery's state of charge is valid only when the battery is at rest and there is minimal or negligible current flow. Recall the initial automobile alarms that were activated due to the detection of a battery voltage decrease produced by the illumination of the interior light. The in-car battery voltage monitor consistently reflects the current draw, which might be beneficial for comparison analysis if one is aware of the appropriate healthy metrics. This method is ineffective for determining the state of charge of batteries according to standard published tables, as any substantial current draw will reduce the battery voltage, resulting in a fully charged battery not registering 12.6 volts or the appropriate fully charged voltage for its type. The appropriate method for utilising the published state of charge tables is to measure the voltage at the battery terminals while the vehicle is in a dormant state. The recent failure of a recently installed battery, which ceased functioning in stop-start mode a few months post-installation, suggests an issue with either the battery or the charging mechanism and warrants investigation accordingly. An OEM battery is expected to endure beyond 2.5 years, leading me to consider that the battery may have been deficient from the outset, which is a possibility. What is the duration of the battery warranty? I acknowledge that I am contentedly operating a vehicle with a battery that no longer facilitates the stop-start function, which ceased to function after 6.5 years of use.
  8. Step 1: Examine your email client and enhance its security settings. It is preferable to allow certain legitimate content to be classified as Spam rather than permit malicious entities to bypass filters.
  9. All Digital Extras are included with the new car for a duration of three years, excluding the Log Book. My vehicle is equipped with Pre-Entry Climate Control, as stated in the app and handbook. However, none provides detailed instructions for setup. The vehicle was in the garage, hence reluctant to initiate the engine. I will attempt again tomorrow if it is not raining.
  10. Seeking expert advice from the Forum. Acquired a new vehicle yesterday. Digital Extras denote the inclusion of pre-entry climate control. However, attempts to activate were unsuccessful. The application allows me to select seats, but the activation and deactivation buttons are unresponsive. Is it necessary for the ignition to be on and the engine to be running to configure this? Kind regards
  11. He states that the 2022 C-class is not associated with the 3G discontinuation. The MB Me service is exhibiting erratic behaviour, as it frequently does, albeit in various manners.
  12. Indeed, I completed all necessary tasks when I replaced the thermostat, so I believe I am adequately prepared in that regard. I observed typical oil spots around the seal positions, which had been improperly installed. It appears that the new MAF required calibration in my situation.
  13. Disconnected the negative terminal for 20 minutes while replacing the fuel filter today. It is currently idling more effectively.
  14. I apologise, everyone. I did not receive notifications regarding your responses. I ultimately resolved the issue. The MAF was indeed defective. I purchased a pre-owned Y-Pipe in superior condition than mine, which included one MAF. I transferred my functional MAF to it, and it registered the accurate temperature and airflow measurements. Nonetheless, I occasionally have a minor hitch after startup. During discussions with Avantgarde in Clevedon, they indicated that the adjustments must be recalibrated for optimal performance. The issue is that I currently reside in Scotland, necessitating the search for a reputable independent establishment in Edinburgh. All nearby garages I have approached have provided a standard quotation of approximately £90 for one hour of service. It would be more advantageous for me to purchase a superior fault reader than to spend two minutes having them reset it.
  15. I have recently replaced the temperature sensor, and I am not surprised that it did not resolve the issue. I have observed that when I disconnect Sensor A, its temperature remains at 79°C whereas Sensor B decreases to 21°C. Upon disconnecting Sensor B, both temperatures stabilise at 79°C. The subsequent course of action appears to be attempting a costly MAF replacement, unless someone possesses other insights.
