My vehicle is aged, however I am achieving the same range in cooler conditions. This applies to all electric vehicles, yet it is not widely recognised that the reduction in range during winter is substantial. As temperatures rise, the elevated range will reemerge. Infrequent use of the petrol engine during winter months often results in the formation of 'mayonnaise' within the oil filler cap. I suggest monitoring it and maintaining regular cleanliness. The issue arises from condensation and insufficient engine operation to eliminate it. Particularly in winter, I advise operating the petrol engine to ensure oil circulation and generate warmth within the engine. Conversely, if the petrol engine is compelled to engage at elevated RPMs while cold, it may be detrimental to its condition. Particularly if all the oil remains in the sump. Excellent vehicles, although one must adapt to the technology and acknowledge that it is not a fully electric vehicle. I contend that the petrol engine in a hybrid vehicle should have the oil pump operating continuously, even when the engine is inactive, and that some heat should be introduced into the cooling system to ensure readiness for operation. I frequently contemplate the state of the petrol engine in plug-in hybrids that predominantly operate on electricity. These vehicles are not fully electric and should not be operated as such.

Beneficial for you. I possess the original towbar with connector; however, there is no power present on pin 10. The workshop quoted a price of 500 Euros for the repair.

I would trust the stick; but, I was concerned about the portion exceeding the maximum level. Uncertain on the sensitivity of the N47 engines. 😂

I concur, but felt it necessary to enquire.

The vehicle has just undergone servicing. 2011 F11 520d model. Following two brief journeys (about 5-10 km each), the engine oil high error appeared on the IDrive. The dipstick indicates a level slightly over the maximum, as seen in the image. I enquired with the mechanic, and he indicated that the amount would be acceptable. Do you propose draining some fluid or just operating it to allow for potential settling? Should the oil dipstick be examined immediately after driving or after the engine is completely cold? I have also seen information suggesting that it may relate to the incomplete cycle of the DPF regeneration. I possess substantial automotive expertise; nevertheless, this is my first experience with a diesel vehicle, so I appreciate any guidance.

It seems that the timing chain has fractured.

That is 40 miles per gallon more than I get with the SL63 AMG while enjoyment and 30 miles per gallon more than I attain with the C55 AMG when cruising. Regardless, it is inconsequential; you only live once!

Please do not misconstrue this. May I provide a suggestion about forum postings? Kindly use paragraphs. A dense block of material like this is very difficult to read and discourages individuals from engaging with it.

Some members possess access to the digital service history; nevertheless, most dealers will provide a printed copy upon request. Is there not a Mercedes app that facilitates this access? It was once designated as Mercedes Me, but that designation has been retracted.

The functionality is satisfactory; the headline remains clickable, directing to the whole thread.

This was the rather more concerning one.
