i would like to get you guys, whom ever send their car for service regardless Merz or external, can ask one thing for me?

Is it true, merz battery voltage  flactuate during charging?

i happened to noticed this after i have battery issues with my GLA, send to HS, stays there for 3 days just to get the battery replaced under warranty ( battry cost 2k) when i asked them why takes solong just to replace battery, they said battery voltage fluctuate, so i thought this must be serious. anyway, they release the car after 3 days.

then i happened to observed mercedes me apps (i have adapter installed for free), the battery voltage fluactuate between 12.5 to 14.8v within one minutes. when i asked them they said its normal as alot of electronice using battery at the same time.

i actually not satisfied with the explanation because what happened if you happed to use eletronice in the car but the engine not running, you sure cant start your car after that.

anyway, i aso check with my c300coupe, it alse show similar characeristic, but less volatile as compare to my GLA.

so can ask for me, it it true?

You check the voltage from the apps while the vehicle is idle or moving? When I sent my car for annual service, the battery was replaced on the same day. Maybe they have stock, not sure.

Okay then my voltage reading is steady, no fluctiation, maybe still new - few months old.

hmm if you ask me, I prefer servicing my car at c&c pj compared to hss puchong. The service is simply put more "humane". My sa at c&c would actually walk me to my car and check the car exterior with me instead of just handing over your keys and off you go.

It depends on the SA. For my SC, one SA previously insisted for me to sign without proper inspection. And when I refused, he said then no work can be done to my car. So I complained to MB. Nowadays, they have a new SA and this time things get done properly as it should.

Any W205 owner change their run-flat tyre to normal tyre?

read from Facebook news 1 of the C350e owner change 5 tyres in a year due to car run through potholes, bump and so on...tyre reviewer also keep commenting the run-flat tyres easily broken or explode and sometimes can even damaged the rim. So, should just trade in the run-flat tyres to normal when it still new?
*
No such issue for my RFT in terms of strength and durability. It depends on the road condition and driver behavior too, I guess. I am going to do my 1st tyre replacement soon, still contemplating whether to stick with RFT or normal ones.

From an earlier discussion here actually, something about getting some coating put on at HSS and then you get freebie car washes after that.
Was wondering cause I just picked up my car and live rather close to one of those big ass HSS centres.

I'm pretty cheap and want free coffee while waiting tooĀ  icon_rolleyes.gif

You get free wash after each service or when you bring your car in to check on an issue (your mileage may vary). Maybe others here know about the coating or weekly car wash.

Around 2388 including installation. It's literally just install and forget.

Tbh at first I thought it was a total rip off, until ofc few months back I had to change one of my electronic parts. Without warranty, it would have cost me 16k

Hi, what electronic part is that and how old is your car?

Sedan.

The workshop went to claim and replace with a new battery without asking. He claimed the current is weak but no notification whatsoever. Should have waited for the warning signal to appear first or at least ask me first. Now rugi 1 year already.
