Re: At just over 5,000 miles, the "Service Engine Soon" message and wrench icon were visible.

In regards to the frequency of oil changes: Despite manufacturers' claims of 10,000-mile service intervals, there are good reasons to not go that far between oil changes. Combustion ring wear is accelerated in a turbocharged engine due to the greater temperatures and pressures experienced during ope...

Re: Issues with M254

Also, it seems like there are problems with the cylinder heads. However, it appears that the recorded failures were only with the early production units, therefore by 2022, the issues had been resolved?

Re: Restocking on the Steering Rack

The service printout contains the part numbers. From what I can tell, the part number you're looking for is KJK8-32-110C. The third iteration of the rack, 110B, is the one I finally settled on. Even if the new rack has been functional, I must confess that I am still enraged. I would really appreciat...

Re: Restocking on the Steering Rack

The possibility that they install an outdated version should cause you concern. Even though my Dealer said they wouldn't, they went ahead and did it anyhow. Reason given: we are obligated to implement their suggestions. Fake news.

Re: The 2019 Mercedes-W205 C200 AMG High-Efficient Vehicle has gearbox issues.

I took the car for a spin yesterday after resetting the automatic gearbox; the gearbox performed well during the half-hour ride. As expected, the gearbox worked smoothly through all speeds, both up and down. Since I purchased the vehicle at 5,000 miles, the gearbox has not been serviced. One Mercede...

Re: The 2019 Mercedes-W205 C200 AMG High-Efficient Vehicle has gearbox issues.

Your information is greatly appreciated. I was not informed of any updates when my car was last serviced at the MB dealer in 2023.
There are no upcoming updates for this vehicle according to Mercedes-Me.

Re: The 2019 Mercedes-W205 C200 AMG High-Efficient Vehicle has gearbox issues.

Your responses are greatly appreciated. I will investigate, but I haven't seen any differences at 75 mph. Going from sixth to seventh gear at forty miles per hour in comfort mode is par for the course. Have learned that the vehicle has received three upgrades over airwaves, which are as follows: Nov...

The 2019 Mercedes-W205 C200 AMG High-Efficient Vehicle has gearbox issues.

Hello there, I have been experiencing issues with the automatic gearbox in my C class, which has logged 38,500 kilometres. Unless you utilise the paddles on the steering wheel, the automatic transmission will not change up from sixth gear to seventh gear and beyond. As expected, the gearbox shifts d...

Re: Updates are absent.

I have observed the navigation feature. Some claim that the charger must be designated as a favourite. I have attempted everything. I believed that the transition from Winter Mode to a functional preconditioning system was executed as a software upgrade. Executed by Hyundai, not by OTA. The first is...
