VIN/CHASSIS No. WDD 207 4012F 359349 E 220D Reg 02/2017 AMG Cabriolet Line Edit D Auto 2017 Silver E When I purchased the vehicle on March 25th, I discovered that the suspension was harsh. A front tyre has just been ruptured by a "pothole" (at low speed) B Because of the terrible roads in West Berks, I no longer have any faith in the AMG 19" tires and wheels. (Just a Btl of Green Slime, no spare!) Current wheels Front 19" AMG 7 Spoke Alloy Wheels; 235 35 19 Rears; 235 30 19 To make the ride better and give me an excuse not to list the car, I'm considering getting new 17"–18" wheels and tires with bigger profile tires. These will suit WDD 207 401, I've been told. Additionally, W4 DD212, WDD 207, and WDD 204 Would 17" or 18" wheels cause issues with handling, ABS, etc.? I would be "much" grateful for any guidance. Many thanks, best

Hello everyone, to provide context, I had an A service performed on my 2018 E Class on December 19th of last month. I travelled from Frimley Green to Swindon (58 miles) but on the way home , alarmingly at around 70mph on the M4 my dashboard suddenly flashed up Reduced Engine Oil, I dismissed the message and as soon as I got off the motorway stopped to checked the oil level. I have since discovered that my model is not equipped with an oil dipstick. It was not until. Upon returning home, I discovered that I could monitor the oil level via the dashboard computer. I attempted this, but although it indicated that a measurement was in progress, no oil level was displayed. Has anyone else had this issue? Was it a defective alarm, a malfunctioning sensor, or did the operator fail to adequately secure the sump plug during servicing? I am taking it to the dealership tomorrow to have them assess the oil level; if it is insufficient, I will be somewhat displeased. After attempting to locate the dipstick with a light, I am confident that I can observe oil in the plastic tray beneath the engine. Any feedback before to tomorrow would be very appreciated.

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%.
-
I will examine it tomorrow. SUBSEQUENTLY. I have confirmed that it is available in three sizes. I will make a decision tomorrow.

I possess two Yale keys, one mortice lock key, and a Tesco club card. Is that excessive as well?
-
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?

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?

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?

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.

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

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.

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.

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.

Thank you; I believed that could serve as an effective beginning point. Worth a try.

I possess a 2013 C180 (W204) (1600 petrol) BlueEfficiency estate featuring the AMG sport package. The temperature indicator periodically reaches the red zone, seemingly when the engine is under strain, albeit not consistently—typically during prolonged inclines or at high speeds above 70 mph. The "stop engine" alert has occasionally activated. However, I do not believe the engine is genuinely overheated. The coolant is transparent, and there are no indications of head gasket issues. The gauge fluctuates, but as I decelerate, it returns to normal and may operate for hours without issue, remaining within the standard range, provided I do not exert excessive pressure. The Hi Tech Performance Garage conducted a comprehensive inspection and identified no concerns; nevertheless, I question if they performed an extensive road test, subjected it to maximum load, or utilised their rolling road. Do you have any experience with this or any recommendations?

The initial action they should undertake is to verify the tyre pressures.

Utilize the search field for "leaking windscreen," as previously indicated, since this may be the cause. Some individuals have experienced significant chips or cracks emerging abruptly, necessitating repair to your windscreen cover. 😉

I am unfamiliar with it - I will investigate.

I am contemplating how to address the matter of only changing the gasket with the garage. If they concur and it continues to leak, I am in a dire predicament. I will await comments from others and will contact many garages tomorrow to get their opinions as well. Thank you one again.
