  1. Hello, I possess a P270e hybrid vehicle. Does anyone have a problem with the mileage at 100% charge? I was informed that I would achieve 36 miles, although I am now attaining a maximum of 26 miles. Based on my prior experience with electric vehicles, I am aware that battery life diminishes in winter; nonetheless, I did not anticipate a reduction of almost 30%.
  2. I will examine it tomorrow. SUBSEQUENTLY. I have confirmed that it is available in three sizes. I will make a decision tomorrow.
  3. I possess two Yale keys, one mortice lock key, and a Tesco club card. Is that excessive as well?
  4. Thank you for the information and the link. That is enough inexpensive to warrant experimentation. The key ring must be sufficiently large to accommodate the house keys. Another rationale for acquiring one is to deactivate the signal it sends, as it will reduce battery longevity. Have you replaced the battery in the key yet?
  5. Purchased from Amazon or the individual associated with the private link you provided? Additional information would be beneficial. There appears to be minimal interest in these. Are you all content that your vehicles are safely parked on your driveway or the street?

  8. A BBC News story detailed how burglars appropriated a vehicle from an individual's driveway by scanning for the keyless fob within the residence. My vehicle is stored in a garage, thereby ensuring its security; but, placing the key in a Faraday pouch will deactivate the signal after a few minutes. This will significantly prolong its lifespan. Here is a compilation of the most endorsed. I am contemplating this option, however is it excessive given that a comparable Amazon alternative is available for much less?

  10. Is there a single temperature sensor or multiple sensors on the C180 fuel model? Is it located in an accessible area? This is my initial step; I will substitute the sensor(s) with authentic Mercedes components.
  11. Indeed, I am concerned that if this is a genuine overheating problem, it may cause damage. It is peculiar that the vehicle can operate for weeks without issues during regular driving around home, then occasionally the gauge rises unexpectedly. This has occurred while ascending a lengthy hill, though not consistently on this route. Yesterday, accelerating on the motorway triggered the issue, but when I reduced speed to 60 mph, the gauge returned to a normal and stable reading for 30 miles—no additional complications—until I increased speed back to 70 mph. Thank you very much
  12. Thank you, that is a valid observation. The heater appears to be functioning normally. Completed an extensive motorway trip, and the heater did not exceed the normal temperature. I perceive that the engine is not overheating; nonetheless, this is merely a perception without substantiation. Thank you for the valuable suggestion. "Every seat is first class" - I concur with your assessment; I am new to this vehicle and appreciate its driving experience.
  13. Another concern I encountered with this vehicle, for the benefit of others: Upon acquiring this pre-owned car with 79,000 miles, it exhibited a knocking sound in the back when traversing potholes. The local garage and I could not identify any issues. Their health assessment revealed no indications of bush or joint wear, yet a clunking sound persisted. Ultimately identified the issue through a process of elimination as the rear shock absorbers. No evidence of leaks; nonetheless, internal complications were present. I replaced the rear shocks with new Bilstein units, which were half the price of genuine Mercedes parts, and the vehicle now operates flawlessly.
  14. If you maintain composure when others are losing theirs, you are evidently neglecting the seriousness of the circumstances. Engineering revolves around identifying the most efficient solution. Phil Wang ALFA Romeo: Employing outdated technology to generate future challenges in the present. I like it, such lovely aphorisms. I will include "AMG signifies All Money Gone." As an engineer, I adhere to Ockham's Razor, a problem-solving theory asserting that the simplest explanation with the least number of assumptions is the most like to be accurate. Also referred to as the principle of parsimony, it is utilised for selecting among competing theories. For instance, in the case of a headache, the more straightforward explanation of dehydration is preferred over a more intricate one such as a brain tumour. Your hypothesis regarding the water pump is rational, and I will not dismiss it. I don't think it's an airlock problem. The car is relatively new to me, yet there are no indications of any maintenance performed on the engine or cooling system. The vehicle possesses a complete service history from Mercedes; nonetheless, I will henceforth conduct all maintenance independently. I have recently acquired an xTool D8 scanner and a Picoscope Oscilloscope for comprehensive testing, however I recognise that these may not reveal any issues because the garage conducted all standard assessments. Nonetheless, I can likely conduct live monitoring during the road test with it. I have decided to opt for the more economical choice, a new temperature sender, initially; at 80,000 miles, it is likely a prudent preventative measure. I greatly appreciate your insight.
  15. Thank you; I believed that could serve as an effective beginning point. Worth a try.
