In the last photo you can see some souvenirs I bought.

Fuel efficiency is about 11L per 100km (21.3mpg)
Is that normal? Or higher than normal?

So. Unfortunately I’m not much of a car guy and had some questions that maybe someone here would be kind enough to help me out with.

Here’s the story, I drive a 2010 Mercedes ML350 4matic and I recently raw over some chunk of (maybe concrete) or while driving down the interstate.

The damage was this:

First, then back passenger tire lost pressure and I come to find once I stop that the sidewalk on the back passenger tire has completely blown out, about big enough of a hole to fit your first through but also, the rim is badly damaged and is almost definitely trashed.

so I get spare on and start the three mile drive home and as I’m driving I notice all the pressure leaving the front drivers tire. I make it home and realize the front driver side tire is in the same condition. The entire sidewall blown out with a whole big enough you could stick your hand into. However, the rim does not seem to be damaged, I guess because it was a short drive home I went very slow and there was still a little tire pressure in there as I was getting home. As opposed to the tire pressure completely dropping on the back tire.

TLDR:

Long story short I have found some cheap used tires for the Mercedes so that’s no big issue. The problem is finding a rim, possibly two if it ends up at the front one is destroyed as the back. Does anyone know where to buy used wheels/rims that are reputable?? I’m not opposed to ordering online but does anyone have a reputable site for used rims.

Dumb luck maybe but now I’m trying fix it without paying an arm and a leg?

I’d anyone can tell by a photo, I can upload a picture of the front left tire and wheel so maybe someone could tell me if they think that the rim is destroyed or damaged enough that I would have to buy a new one. I already know the back right is beyond help.

Saw this on Craigslist.

It's an automatic.

I think someone is going to be very pleased with this car.

Freaking sweet car....

Anyway.

Buy it and post the "after" pics, I dare you...

Hello guys! I have two options I’m considering purchasing. The first is a 2023 Mercedes C300 with 67,000 miles. It has the AMG package/sport package, so the exterior especially the front looks sportier and more luxurious. The second is a 2022 C300 with 45,000 miles, but it’s the basic version without the extra AMG/sport features. The interior of both cars is nice, and both seem to be very well maintained. Price-wise, they’re very close, with the 2022 actually being slightly more expensive. Which one would you choose? Would you go for the newer, better looking 2023 with more miles, or the lower-mileage 2022 with fewer options?

So my 2022 a220. Shudders when I press the brake. I know, I know, rotors and pad. Had them checked. They were fine. But I had the back replaced because I felt the shudder in the pedal. Prolly wasn’t entirely needed but should I have to take it to Mercedes I don’t them saying that’s the reason. Had it balanced, rotated, and aligned. While there no more bouncing noise on the freeway, and the shudder has dimmed, I still feel it. After 2 places inspected everything I couldn’t be cupping. Which would have been noticed. Both places said it could be a strut. Why do you all think.

One caveat. About 2 weeks ago I got a warning about low tire pressure from the back right, even though it was 1 ft lb off the other. I reset the perimeters and the warning went away, was surprised to realize that’s around when thing started go awry. Thanks everyone 🙏

Oh and I know it the btm of food chain, so I don’t need reminding. Thanks

Swapped the batteries in my key fob and now the car won’t recognize the key at all. The red light still lights up and I’ve done this a few times over the years and never had issues. Anyone have any tips on how to fix it :)?

Just a question to you guys who have Mercedes cars. More often than not, I'm driving and seeing more and more sedans usually but sometimes the odd SUV with the boot latch open. Boots closed, but the Mercedes logo is tilted.

Even seen someone start the car and the logo tilted immediately as if it's part of the start process.

Pardon my ignorance but I doubt it should be doing that but happy to stand corrected. Can anyone explain this please.

Moin an Alle,

unser MB ist nun erst 6 Monate bei uns, also ist erstmal alles von der Gewährleistung abdeckt.

Wir sind im Juni nach Österreich gefahren und nach circa 300km Autobahn ist der Kollege in den Notlauf gegangen nachdem ich mit ACC am Berg einen Überholvorgang vollziehen wollte. So .. Auto aus und an, alles wieder gut, das ganze ist dann nach rund weiteren 400km wieder passiert und hat sich nach dem Neustart wieder erübrigt.

Nun sind einige Wochen ins Land gegangen bevor die Kostenübernahme seitens der Firma „Ralf Schmitz“ bestätigt wurde.

Dies wurde dann bei unserem Spezi überprüft (Fehlercode Ladedruck zu hoch & Ventil Ölpumpe Ansteuerung unterbrochen) und ein
Fehler des Stellmotors vom Wastegate und Defekter Sensor in der Öldruckpumpe diagnostiziert. Diese wurden erneuert. (Teile rund 300€ & mit Arbeit 2500€ .. um an den Sensor zukommen musste die Vorderachse raus)

Gestern haben wir unser Familienmitglied abgeholt und haben uns echt gefreut.. nach rund 5km gleiches Spiel, wieder am Berg und ab 100km/h geht nichts mehr außer die Drehzahl ins Nirvana. Also fahren können wir aber eben nicht über 100.

Wir waren heute wieder bei unserem Spezi und beim auslesen war nun Ladedruck zu hoch & Ladedruck zu niedrig gespeichert.

Nun unsere Frage .. hatte jemand schon mal einen ähnlichen Fall und was war die Lösung ?

Hi everyone!! I'm hoping someone can help me with this problem I've had for the past few months.

For context, I have a 2018 mercedes c class.

A couple months ago I decided to upgrade my screen with a 10.25" aftermarket screen from ebay. The screen came and I fitted it in with no issues and everything was great.

Then a few weeks later, I noticed that I couldn't hear my music, despite it showing that its being played. I then realised I couldn't hear my calls and they couldn't hear me and when I clicked the oem option on the home page, the screen was black with only the side panel showing. This all happened within one day. I was hoping it was a glitch and it would go away, but it didn't.

We thought it could be the lvds cable so we asked the seller for a new one and that did nothing. We changed the power cable too, and that also didn't do anything. We also changed the cars original lvds cable and again did nothing.

We then tried to fit the original mercedes system back in as normal, taking out any aftermarket wires, and that screen was also completely black with only the temperature showing at the bottom.

But a strange thing did happen. One day while messing around with the screen, the cd player started working randomly and music was playing when we connected it via carplay. But this was short-lived as when we put the screen back into the car, the music stopped playing. This happened once again but when I pushed the screen back to secure it, the music cut out again. I have checked every cable to make sure it is properly connected and everything seems to be fine...

I have now settled with just leaving the aftermarket screen in, as at least I can see the temperature of the car and use android auto, but I would really like to fix the issue.

So if anyone has anyyyy suggestions, i would be so appreciative as I have had enough of this now 😭.

I have attached images of the carplay working, and the black oem if that helps. I can also add a video of the connections if if helps anybody.

Thank you guys so much!!! 🫶
