they also like to code EVERYTHING they possibly can to the car, so you have to go to someone with STAR for repairs to have the parts coded to the car to make them work, and prevent recycling of decent quality used parts as some arent recodeable!!!! whatever was wrong with things being ‘plug and play’ (like adding a CD changer when we got the car was a NIGHTMARE as the ECU had to be programmed to tell the radio that there was now a CD player attached, which never happened in the Ford we also had at the time!!)

the car had about 70k miles on it at the time. Mercedes wouldnt repair it because despite the ‘rust’ warranty, the car wasnt dealer serviced and hadnt caused holes in the body/ they also blamed stonechips being untreated as the cause of the rust. ours was garaged when not in use, saw few road resurface areas, yet almost every panel had rust on it by 8 years old, often hidden behind door mouldings etc. Ones from about 1996 to 2008 (approx) rust like hell. the problem is they have done their best to keep as much of the car as legally possible, outside the scope of regular scantools, so diagnosing faults that arent emissions related is VERY difficult unless you have access to Mercedes’ own scan tool, STAR. What has been your experience like in owning a Mercedes?Īs someone who does their own repairs, the parts are generally reasonably priced here (im in the trade so get the parts at trade) compared to other brands.
