Can it be resealed?

I agree that reaching the maximum mark should not be a goal if it poses a danger of overfilling. My personal experience indicates that Mercedes-Benz may have shifted from measuring oil levels while cold to measuring them when hot during an oil change. The specified fill amount in my guide is 5.5 litres, which only reaches the halfway line on the dipstick when cold, but climbs to 3/4 when measured hot after 5 minutes. I will not add more oil since the amount now in the container exceeds the minimum requirement. If the fill quantity is 5.5 Litres, it is the amount that will be provided, and it is likely the only amount a dealer would utilise. Electronic oil level measuring is not aiding in reducing misunderstanding or improving accuracy. It's difficult to imagine that something so straightforward has been made complex by MB's inclination to cater to lazy owners. The dipstick has functioned consistently for more than a century, and I fail to comprehend the issue.

As to the user handbook, the second check is the accurate one. This involves waiting for 5 minutes after turning off the engine while it is hot, and then checking the oil level. The automobile indicating that the level is okay while chilly is illogical since the level would have decreased, not increased. I personally would not rely on the car's information and instead use a traditional dipstick if available. For the last 45 years, I have habitually checked oil levels while the engine is cold. However, after changing oil on a new Mercedes recently, I have come to believe that oil levels should be monitored when the engine is hot. Additionally, filling the oil to the max mark when the engine is cold may actually result in an overfill.

Additionally, it is important to remember that the 1-year certified used warranty does not serve as a substitute for the Consumer Rights Act 2015. Consequently, if a pre-owned vehicle that has been approved by the manufacturer has a defect that should have been identified during the pre-delivery inspection (PDI) but was not, Mercedes-Benz UK will not bear the expenses. In such a case, you will have to persuade the dealer who sold you the car to assume the costs in accordance with the relevant legislation. Therefore, it is advisable not to depend on the warranty while inspecting the automobile. Instead, meticulously examine it and insist on ensuring that everything is completely resolved before accepting the delivery.

Regrettably, the 300h Diesel Hybrid did not meet Mercedes Benz's highest standards, which likely explains its limited production duration. Additionally, being an EU6 Diesel, it will also be equipped with the notorious AdBlue technology. The 1-year guarantee is commendable, but, further repairs are expected to incur substantial costs. Apologies if this is not align with your desired response.

Please inform us of your progress

Indeed. It was identical to my W124. A rectangular fob with two square buttons and a red light positioned at the top corner. Several years ago, the buttons on my device became less responsive, so I purchased a couple brand new key fobs from an online marketplace and replaced the internal components. That happened a long time ago.

I like the crimson wheels. 😁

AdBlue was introduced with the EU6 emission standards in around 2014-2015, and regrettably, it continues to be in use as of 2024. Older vehicles are adequate. Alternatively, one might choose to purchase a gasoline-powered vehicle instead of a diesel one. Gasoline engines do not need AdBlue and it has never been installed in them. Regarding the Mercland warranty, although it may be excellent, it will inevitably reach its expiration, leaving one to wonder about the next course of action.

The French team seemed to lack the motivation and guidance provided by Dupont.

It seems that the original poster has not returned for a period of two years, in my opinion.

It is worth attempting since there is no potential loss.

The only issue I had was related to the distance travelled. I inquired whether anybody could augment the mileage, but their response was laughter. However, because the discrepancy was little 6 km, I decided to retain the current reading.

The only issue I had while doing a cluster switch was that I was able to remove the tamper dot, but I was unable to modify the mileage. Regrettably, I am unable to assist you with your oil light issue.

Upon acquiring my 2011 R8, I was surprised to find that it was equipped with just a single key, an unusual but factual circumstance. I dislike possessing just a single key, hence I will get an additional one. I have not needed to purchase an additional automobile lock since the time when it was possible to have them duplicated at Woolworth for a little 79 cents. I am aware that the dealer's prices are likely to be high, but because I was already there for another reason, I decided to use their services as a point of reference. The amount of $800 came as a surprise to me. I am confident in my ability to surpass that level of performance, but, I have encountered a consistent narrative when contacting locksmiths. "We have a strong preference for not servicing any German car; your best option would be to take it to the authorised dealer." After some searching, I managed to locate a locksmith who agreed to assist me. However, they expressed their aversion against servicing German automobiles. He will do the task at a price that is less than half of what the dealer charges. However, I am curious about the details of German auto locks. Does anybody know the reasons for locksmiths encountering difficulties with them?

I am experiencing the same problem. LR/RR should have initiated a recall for these faulty automobiles. The noise persists until today, despite many brake replacements. Each time I raise a complaint, they refuse to address the issue now that the car is no longer under warranty. I agree that legal action should be taken against them.

Indeed, it seems that you have already made up your mind about wanting the M3 and are seeking confirmation. If the M3 is indeed your preference, I encourage you to go with your decision.

My inquiry is to the identity of the entity referred to as "super duper garage". If you are able to disclose their name. Due to my inquisitive nature, I take a keen interest in others' affairs. However, it is also gratifying to encounter an automotive repair facility that prioritises client satisfaction. That conveys a significant amount of information or meaning.and generates a feeling of confidence. 10-4 rubber nose

Hello, I formerly had a 2016 C207E400 vehicle that has a complete service history with Mercedes-Benz. Unfortunately, the automobile is no longer functional. If I were in your situation, I would thoroughly analyze the vehicle, with special emphasis on examining the subframes. These frames corrode inside. Convertible vehicles may have issues with water infiltration into the sills.
