WHAT TO DO WHEN THERE IS AN ACCIDENT?

Call the 24 Hour Hotline HAP SENG STAR or Cycle & Carriage sticker in the car for free tow to their workshop.

You can also pay for whoever that is towing and claim from Merc later.

Do not engage with other workshop, after fixing the car warranty will be VOID.

I think can be retrofit but HSS or C&C wont do it for you.

But need to add alot of things just to change to the intelligent, ie, windshield, microcomputer, sensor, firmware upgrade, etc, that is what i saw on other forum, should be 20K-30k+ in RM

Not too sure bro, you have to ask the salesman.

When they were applying the EEV it seems that no salesman knows about it and previous CKD buyers have to suffer for paying extra RM21k, including those who bought 1 day, 1 week or few months before the EEV announcement, and replace with 4 lousy voucher for engine oil change only.

So, better to find some honest salesman to ask about it.

Yes, you are right, no autogrill like C250 Exclusive, just look alike.

New 18" rims are better than current Avantgarde 18" which are ugly as complained from the owners.

Suspension definitely better than the soft type on previous C class model which always hit on bumps just like the E300 that get complaints and protest at MBM.

If softer then GG, you will have a heavily scratch base plate or damaged part like E300.

Cycle & Carriage now offer Guarantee Value Protection for selected model.

Basically very summaries example :

Brought an A Class - RM205,000
1st Year Insurance Agreed Value - RM205,000
2nd Year Insurance Agreed Value - RM180,000
3rd Year Insurance Agreed Value - RM150,000

Assuming, your car is stolen/total loss during the 3rd year of usage;
Insurance will only pay back (or you can claim) RM150,000 (due to Agreed Value)

So with GVP, C&C will top-up RM205,000 (Purchase Price) - RM150,000 (Insurance Claim) = RM55,000 to You =)

One of the T&C, you must buy-back a Mercedes Vehicle from C&C

Different dealer offer different package, try and compare all.

I got mine from HSS, most kiam siap dealer ever.

Cycle and carriage normally give good free gift, after sales still got yearly birthday voucher, invitation to event and launching.

Most purchased from HSS regreted and get no good after sales invitation, not even calendar, new year gifts bday vouchers etc.

If your car is still under warranty it is best to service with the authorised service center else your warranty will void on those parts service from independent workshop.

Service in Authorised SC like CnC,HSS, NZ will be around RM1.5k to RM2.5k depending on the parts you change like the fine particle filter, oil, engine air insert filter, aircon filter, brakes, alignment and more.

Some you can opt to change in next service if you feel it is not compulsory. If you have voucher during car purchase, it will only be around RM 200-300 for oil change during major service of around 12k.

If you have a C Class W205, please pm me to join our whatsapp group if you wish to know more.

My tyre is due for change and I am seriously considering ditching the run flats for good quality normal tyres.

Mine is cbu unit and came with the conti sport tyres. I really dislike the harsh ride and noisiness. Another big annoyance is this set of tyres has a tendency to skid (or "buang") when turning on wet concrete surfaces eg car parks. This sometimes has me worried when driving during rainy seasons although must say so far no skid feelings on normal asphalt roads.

I spoke to the service agents and of course, standard reply is although wont void warranty, it is not recommended by them...lol.

Any bros here considering or have make the changes? Would appreciate any advice!

Quite some in our whatsapp group of 200+ members has changed to Michelin PS3 and PS4 for better grip on rainy days but you have to get the tyre leak kit because in case of emergency as we have no room for spare tyre.

In term of normal road use, OE brake pad should be always better than those after market.

AFAIK, not many brands available in Malaysia for W205. The only brand I met with is Girling, which meets ECE R90 requirement. Else, you need to go for ori.
Girling brake pad front with brake sensor and installation, around RM400

Same. I also have my eyes set on C200 Exclusive line. Since the facelift model is coming out soon, I would expect there would be some discount. Is there any sales person in this thread that has any information?

If there is no discount, then it makes no sense to buy it now. Might as well wait for the facelift model if the price is the same. dry.gif

We might be the minority lol. I'm looking at cars that's priced at 250kish, so right now I'm considering the C200 Exclusive and 330e M sport since they are very similarly priced. Although the 330e M sport is much more powerful and higher spec, the C200 Exclusive just outshines the BMW's interior with it's super classy interior and build quality. Very hard to choose lol......

So in the end of the day it'll come down to price, I'll get whichever can give me the best deal.

Exclusive model is 15mm higher. So actually more comfortable but wont feel sporty as avantgarde. Avantgarde rim very ugly. Exclusive got extra sunroof, better rim, stitched dashboard.

You must remember also BMW resell value is very very bad nowadays.. also u cant say more powerful cause its a much heavier car.. i tested the 330E really nice for the price very highly spec'd but u really can feel the weight of the battery when u are driving it hard

Serious? C200 got sun roof now? I thought only c250 and above get sunroof! Lol...each on its on! I can't stand the emblem sticking out on the top of the bonnet! But you are rite, I need to do a zig zag when crossing over a road bump! If I am not mistaken, only the c 250 and above is much lowered in ht! Don't think there is a difference in the c200 !

I test drove the 330e M sport and honestly I cannot notice the extra weight. I even made high speed cornering at 85kmh around a bend, maybe because it's the m sport version that's why. Even with the extra weight, 252 bhps and 450nm still makes the car go from 0-100 in 6.1s compared to the C200's 7.3s.

I don't really care about resell value that much honestly, because I'll probably be keeping the car for at leasy 7~10 years. By the time the residual price is probably so bad it won't make a difference BMW or Merc.

It's strange that you compared the 200 to 330 E! Totally different leauge!No doubt the BMW's torque is impressive ! BMW 's power + mercs's interior= perfect match!

hey guys,planning to get a w205 soon, just wondering if there are any problems or issues with the w205 that i should be aware of, for example like the f30 issues with rusted seat rails.

still contemplating on which variant to go for, or maybe i should just wait for the facelift.

Keep hearing facelift mentioned but I don't see any news or rumours on the internet about any facelifts for the C-class is coming soon.

If other countries esp US/Germany haven't even launched yet when will it reach our market?

A salesperson at C&C Federal told me that the current 7G is out of stock as they're prepping for the new 9G engine which will be available in 3 months time.

Asked if there will be any facelift on the design she said no though. Only change is from 7G to 9G

Hye guys, i am an owner of w212 e class facelift amg. i wanna ask regarding chrome strip at the front skirting and its overall ground clearance. I believe its almost the same set up as the new c class amg variant. My car always scratch it's underneath (middle) when going on a speed bumps. Never had it with my previous cars. Is amg variant too low? Very irritating larr. Btw i never scratch the front chrome strip so far. if i were to accidentally scratch it one day, wheres an affordable place to replace or even repair it?

Quick question, would it void the warranty if i were to use after market springs and upgrade my rims from 17 to 18inch?

Would other cosmetic changes void the warranty?

Is there a way to get the hands free entry for the c200 avant?

Congrats on your new ride. Why must say you jumped from BMW leh? Bmw is that bad arr..haha.

1) I don't think so. Hope I'm wrong here.
2) coating is better. Is it their offered package? Glass coating?
It's so easy to wash the car after having that coating treatment.
3) don't think they have. What type of control you want? Use remote control to park the car?

Btw, did you get any discounts? I heard got some freebies offered this month.

Thanks. The apps that I'm referring to is Mercedes Connect Me, remote control to park the car should be valid for E Class only I think?
Cycle & Carriage is clearing the 2016 C350e stock by giving away 14k discount. Hup Seng gives away Insurance+4years service, I think NZ already finished stock. Limited units left. If u guys interested can PM me for the sales rep contact.

Yeah. Their E200 huge discounts was very attractive. We almost got it as well. But decided to experience their plug -in hybrid first. Haha.

Our regular mechanic advised us to get a little higher spec for E class, so we have to wait a little while to get the second merc, probably the E250.

I like that 360 degree camera with a birds -eye view of the car. So cool. And it's helpful too. Also, there's a button to press to raise the car higher. ...wow...impressive! It's our first benz, jumped from bmw too, lol.

Yes so far so good. ..except one thing. The Comand Screen. It turned blank. By right, it will work as soon as the car starts. Sent in to SC to check. Since then ok already.

2 weeks to wait? Yay! Happy Waiting! !

3) Is there any remote app for Malaysia market to control our car?

Let's wait & hope Merce Malaysia will give this Apple carplay free to C class during firmware update. Btw, do they update the nav for free whenever we send the car to them for service? For BMW, I heard only Auto bavaria will update the map for free during service.

The major one is at 60k! Around 4-5k! Your dash display will remind you of the next servicing date! Flushing of transmission oil+ normal service! That's was my previous w204, I assumed it's more or less the same as the current 205. One thing about this mercs, I gotta change air cond filter every two years! Air cond stink in the morning ! Finger cross that I won't need to do the same for the 213 and current 2o5. The 205 is cuming to 2 years! Most probably wil,do,the servicing outside franchise after the warranty end! My mileage won't touch 53k in 4 years!

I asked that day they don't give Garmin updates from what they told me need to pay... I think get aftermarket unit with apple car play or Android auto better haha.. Garmin map sucks anyways..

Thanks. 4-5k for major service is high but somewhat expected. Yes, I was told by SA that the dash display is fairly intelligent to let us know when to service.

Thanks very much 19degree.

If your car is still under warranty it is best to service with the authorised service center else your warranty will void on those parts service from independent workshop.

Service in Authorised SC like CnC,HSS, NZ will be around RM1.5k to RM2.5k depending on the parts you change like the fine particle filter, oil, engine air insert filter, aircon filter, brakes, alignment and more.

Some you can opt to change in next service if you feel it is not compulsory. If you have voucher during car purchase, it will only be around RM 200-300 for oil change during major service of around 12k.

If you have a C Class W205, please pm me to join our whatsapp group if you wish to know more.

My car model is W205. The brake noise happened whenever my car moving at very low speed and brake just before the car fully stop. Previously went back to service centre. Was told this is a common noise happened to merc.. Is that true? I was thinking to complain it again when sending my car for 1st servicing. Need advice here.

You can log this complaint during your maintenance services. I think they can help you adjust your wiper angle using their tool.

Rm228k. After nego rm215k in Kuching, Sarawak. It is demo unit from Wakayama Mercedes Japan so it explains the high spec. Sadly not amg unit. But given the spec and price, it is worth i guess.

Not from mbm. From largest recond dealer in sarawak tan brother. They deal directly with mercedes wakayama there. Not like usual auction market. I compare local spec from mbm, really want vomit. So many things missing.

Rm228k. After nego rm215k in Kuching, Sarawak. It is demo unit from Wakayama Mercedes Japan so it explains the high spec. Sadly not amg unit. But given the spec and price, it is worth i guess.

More or less a 2 to 3 years used car! The price is not much of a difference from a ckd brand new with 4 years warranty for peace of mind! 9 G vs 7G! Think a pre reg unit ckd is around this pricing too that cum with 4 years warranty by MBM! Anyway, your money your call! biggrin.gif

Cant compare like that though. 1 is kosong specs, 1 is what make C-class the World Car of the 2015 year. If Mbm were to bring specs like this, it would be over rm300k plus leh. Unless dont mind to drive without all the extra features i mention, then better get local unit.

Recently C250 AMG specs got trimmed down. They remove the burmester and comand online(back to tiny audio 20 screen). Actually mbm should include DAP+(Driving Assistant Package+) as standard. Feature like Blind spot assist is helpful especially changing lanes. And for night drive, ILS will be good. Head-up Display and powerboot are extras though. Lastly, no keyless entry except c250 model onward. My 2.8 hilux revo got keyless entry!

One is second or third hand car and one is brand new! To each of its own ! I am pantang on driving a second hand car and also warranty is Beri critical for me when buying a conti car! My previous w204 got a warranty claim on the gearbox screws in my second year of ownership! If I were to replace on my own, it costs minimum 6k ! Furthermore, I enjoy suka suka going yo the sc to get my car check and drink kopi under the warranty period ! Lol. The most common issue is the steering wheel, it will get jam from time to time! I just got certain parts replaced by the sc after three jams in two years! Anyway, enjoy your new ride! smile.gif

Really? I think they are pushing C350e, after trimmed down now it gives you more reason to take C350e to C250. As it is now the price difference between these two doesn't justify the extra features available in the C350e, in another word, C350e seems more worthy. I also heard they may obsolete C250. True?

i was in situation like yours too..thinking local w205 c250 or e250 (w212 new facelift) recond with many extra goodies with it. below are my concerns for it:-
- warranty only 1 year (it can be extended but matter is HOW easy to claim it from 3rd party warranty)
- how the car is being used and how come all reconds are low mileage despite 3 years car
- for the additional cool and safety features in the car, is there any mechanics who can actually FIX it or not if it's faulty
- lastly that local SC will not take in recond cars to rectify for you the problem.


but it's your money so i guess you've thought all of these before going into it...it's definitely something nice to have for the c class on the specs you highlighted.


cheers!

Not all recond car with low mileage tho. Other 2 units is 45k and 56k 3 years. Matter of luck actually whether all the safety features will be faulty or not. Along the way i will update it here. See how it goes. If recond unit giving alot problems, then next time i might stick to local unit.

My car model is W205. The brake noise happened whenever my car moving at very low speed and brake just before the car fully stop. Previously went back to service centre. Was told this is a common noise happened to merc.. Is that true? I was thinking to complain it again when sending my car for 1st servicing. Need advice here.

Hi, has anyone here experienced the brake noise issue especially when the car brake in low speed?

Hi YCG, went for service apparently I was told it is like that due to the type of brake (ceramic), which focuses more on safety as it would not cause 'hot jagging' but would create noise because of the dust it creates near the brake lines/gaps.

I know, I know. Hard to believe this comes from mercs, I am as stunt and surprise as anyone could be. Tho I then start to google, seems like not a new issue. Esp when the disc brakes are flat (there are no holes on them).

Hi,
Thanks for the update. I just collected my car from C&C for the 1st service. They test drive and was told this is a common noise due to the brake disc. The service consultant even wanted to let me test drive the other demo car to proof that these are the normal noise for C, E or even S class. But due to rushing of time, I didn't test drive their car. My same feeling as you and was wonder how can Merc having this type of brake noise which is quite annoying.

Didn't drive my e250 for like a month because my wife has been using it. Then i noticed the car has a slight vibration from 100km/h and above. i've sent the car for allignment and balancing. Totally didn't work. What are the things that normally cause this kind of issue? Rim bengkok? accident? mounting? rclxub.gif

I guess most probably is due to drive shaft or engine mounting. Was the vibration feeling like up and down or swayed left right?

How old is your E250?

it didn't sway or pull left/right. it just feels uneven, like a shaking on the steering. Normally any car will start to feel the shake as u get to higher speed but not this early speed, not for german conty cars at least. i bought it early last year edtion E. i thought mounting problem is only evident when idling in which this car is still idling like butter even when in D. Drive shaft? hmm sounds expensive. i really thought that its just the wheel maybe the rim got dent, but cry.gif

Just wanna ask u guys the 7g to 9g upgrade is it worth the extra 5k

Any new gearbox is worth the price because surely the new techs will offer a more efficient transfer of power, hence the fuel efficiency. Performance wise, some maybe doesn't offer a significant improvement on sprint time but real world situation u will feel that the car accelerate marginally faster and lighter because u always got a gear for any speed and on any revs. Shifting speed surely feels faster and shift quality should feel sharper. Not to mention the coasting function and the ability to skip gear tech upon hard acceleration. 7G was well known for having a slow respond even in sport mode and weirdly-programmed gearbox.

As for buying the c-class right now, i think if u could wait, might just wait for the facelift next year because current one already since Jan 2014. Probably with new sets of engine as well. But if u can't wait, just grab the 9G right now. thumbsup.gif

Guys, recently bought a Mercedes c200 import.
It has traffic sign assist inoperative issue,I believe is affected by GPS.
Anyone of you know where can I update GPS modules?
Car dealer said maybe can try those accessories shop in Sunway, but I need recommendation.

Wanna ask about the easy access function ie. the one that automatically brings up the steering and moves the driver seat back to allow easy access.

How it works? It will start to move automatically after the engine is shut down?

I also just received my c200 import unit in sarawak. The GPS module you need to flash it locally. Try ask hapseng. Last time i was quoted rm5k plus for SEA firmware.

make sure your current steering during driving is not set to the highest point...if it is the max..the easy access wont work.

easy access will work if your steering is not at the highest point and after you off engine and open door, it will raise up...

if you just got into your car, after you start your engine, then the steering will go down until the level you've set.

Hey guys, been a long follower of this forum but first time participating. I've got some quick questions as my C200 (2016 model - 7g) coming out in 3 weeks time:

1) Is Raytech a good brand for car tinting? I was advised by my dealer to save money on those expense films such as V-Kool / Huper Optik / 3M. Raytech heat rejection rate is really good - somewhere between the 65-75% range plus it's 5 mil - safety feature - for around RM1400-RM1900

2) I'm tossing between Facial Of Cars (Butterworth, Pg) or GGuard for Coating. Looking to do both interior & exterior. Just realised that there's so many packages, I'm leaning more towards Facial Of Cars cause they're cheaper and good review so far. Both comes with Xpel (or similar) plastic protection. Is the interior really worth spending additional RM1k for? or can I just get away with Meguairs Leather Protection DIY package? My interior is silver colour.

3) Bought mine from HS, is the 24 hours road side assist included regardless of the insurance company that I take?

4) Is there any aftermarket option to install Apple Car Play? If yes, which shop & how much?

Thanks guys!

I can only answer (1) as I installed Raytech too. I opted out from the tinting offer by the dealer, Raytech too but not the highest grade. I picked the highest grade, clear version. So far so good as I don't feel 'baked' sitting on the leather even after leaving my car under hot sun.

Why is your car a 2016 model but only coming out in 3 weeks time?

Hi.

Anybody ever had an issue where the message 'ABS ESP inoperative. See Owner's Manual' and 'Run Flat indicator inoperative'? This has happened twice on my B200 2012. First time brought to workshop they ran diagnostics and says its due to the right rear wheel speed sensor and it was replaced. But after 3 days it returned.

Thank you.

Here to share with those who are interested to know about the plug-in-hybrid performance.

1) FC
I've driven my C350e for 500km+ thus far, my fc is 4.8l/100km. Let's do a quick calculation on the fuel economy by comparison to the identical C250 which fair around 9l/100km consumption. I managed to save a total of 4.2l per every 100km. Say each month I drive 1000km, that's a total of RM88 saving (Ron 95 2.11/l). The higher the petrol price goes, the more I will save in future.

2) Performance
By comparison to my previous 320D, in comfort & eco mode, no doubt it is lack of that "pick up" power, it is not as responsive as 320D too, but it gives no problem in my daily drive, it still performs adequately for normal daily usage. However, once you switch to sport & sport +, that's another story. Unfortunately you will not want to do that in most of the time coz it will affect your fc, why are you buying a hybrid for? Btw, I dislike the steering & cornering, maybe the BMW is far too superior in this?

I think C350e is worth for consideration if you want a car with higher specs to its identical model by paying less. Don't worry much about the battery as many people told you to, as a matter of fact, Prius which has aged more than 9 years old by now didn't give much major problem on its battery, some more, Mercedes is giving you 6 years warranty on that too. There are just too many cried wolf stories about the battery that not many are actually experiencing it.

Ironically, my major complain would be the battery, it runs out fast. It won't last you a return trip from Puchong to KLCC. You need to charge it at least once a day to get the fc that you desired, in fact, as frequent as possible after each trip. Absolutely troublesome. (Btw, I haven't got 0% battery ever coz of the hybrid system will use more petrol to charge it when the battery is low, it's intelligent.) Anyhow, this is a breakthrough for the car history at its initial stage, when one day the battery can accommodate up to 200km a day, I say don't think much, get it! lol

Hi, good sharing. How long it takes to charge the battery? and you may want to factor in the electricity charging cost as you are charging it daily, assuming you charge the car at home.

This is a tricky part and it's kinda hard to be exact coz our electricity charges varies depend on total block used. Roughly say it is 0.21 per kWh, the battery size is 6.2kwh, so per full charge is around RM1.35, for me, one charge is good enough for my whole day usage in average. Bear in mind the capacity of the battery is actually less than what is written, so it is less than 6.2kwh literally. It takes about 2hrs for full charge. Thus, one month electricty usage should be around RM40-45. Well, there are days that I was lazy to charge though.

I'm still new to this technology, I guess there are plenty of rooms for me to improve the fc, e.g. My driving behaviour by using more eco mode etc, I also need to find out more places with free charging station such as one city to reduce the energy cost. It's kinda fun and challenging as I wanna achieve better fc everyday. biggrin.gif

Thanks for sharing such details. Can I also add that the c350e has got the most stability when it comes to handling since I test drove the major 3 (BMW 330e, Audi a4 as well). Yes there's a lag during the pick up but once you hit the sports+ mode in full throttle, I felt the G force that you usually get in those cars with 300bhp+.

On the flip side, I have a fren who complaint about the battery only mileage too...I supposed you just need to think of the battery as your extra turbo boost rather than saving fuel.

Anyway, I came very close to committing to the c350e this time but I held back due to all the uncertainty of resale value (as always) but I wouldn't have that second thought if that's not your concern at all.

Btw, it's filled with so much tech, have you finish playing with all yet? All the additional bells and whistle. Not forgetting the apple car play?

You are right, you don't buy the car for fuel economy or to save money, I mean common, it's a benz and it cost you almost 300k, you don't buy a premium car to save petrol cost, that's absurd. You are buying it for the brand, the whole package, the extra power and features. As I said, you may consider it if you are looking for a car that is packed with more stuff but cost you less by comparison to it's identical twin, C250 minus the hybrid system. I think the resell value it's gonna hurt, anything with a battery is something that Malaysian afraid of, I heard enough cried wolf stories about the battery out there so I'm giving it a try.

Yeap, once you switch it to sport and beyond, it sprints like an arrow. Those who don't believe me can go for a test drive to experience it yourself. On paper it spent less than 6sec from 0-100, it is powerful. FYI 428i, Z4 & TT has the same 5.9sec on paper. Btw, there's no apple car play, sad. The rest of the features will take you just about a week to familiarise with (i'm a tech dummy). Off the topic, I used to think COMMAND ONLINE is a bad system, but once you get used to it, I think it is better than BMW coz I can actually do more thing with it.

Thanks for your input! My dad's intending to get a C350e demo unit with 5k mileage soon and your feedback is very helpful.

I think the real gripe is really only the resale value in the future as I'm sure it'll be harder to let go of a C350e compared to say a C200/C250.

I understand that the range for full-electric mode is approx 25-30km but I don't think it's intended for long-term usage.. right? I don't think it's worth it having to go through the trouble to charge it everyday just to travel 20km+. It might be fun and interesting to use at first but long-term you'll prolly use the battery just to complement the petrol engine and improve on FC.

Been wondering one thing tho, are the rear seats foldable? With the battery taking up sace in the boot and all that I wonder if the seats are still foldable

Hi, well, frankly don't hope too much on the wonder of the battery, in fact, I'm pretty sure it will be a major complain from u too, just like I do, isn't it ironic? The battery will give you some desired results on your fc for short haul, mainly city drive. e.g. if you drive from Puchong to KLCC, the battery will be at the bottom. What the system do is it will use more petrol from that point onwards (when battery lower than 15%), so, if you are using this car for outstation mostly, I don't think the fc will be good (you should go for diesel in that case). I will try that out soon to find out. If your daily driving activities is within the range of 30kms, it will be 100% perfect for you. My two cents is don't buy this car becoz of the plug in hyrbid, consider this tech only if you want to be a little more experimental and you are mad that the government suka-suka increase the petrol price lol.

I do think this is the most powerful C Class, compare it to C250/C200, the C350e can do nothing less but packed with more. Literally, i bought it together with E200, this C350e performs just as nice as a E200 (but you gotta turn on sport to match that). I complained the performance becoz my previous car was BMW, e.g. BMW is just too good in cornering and I felt more engaged (I think I will go back to BMW on my next car). Why don't you try the BMW 330e? I tried that, I don't like it becoz of the dated design and the cabin looks cheap to me (well it is almost 40k cheaper than 350e).

Oh yes, you can fold the rear seat. You'll have plenty of storage, don't worry about it. The charging time is fast, 2hrs will get you 100% charged. I also see more places gonna provide free charging station, that will give us more reason to drive a plug in hybrid car in city, in future, lol. I also feel that we should be less worry on the battery as you can see there are many hybrid cars on the road, I read through many hybrid car forums when i was doing my research and really, there isn't that much failure as people think. Most importantly there's long warranty on that.

As conclusion, how bad can a Merce goes wrong? I had petrol car, diesel car and now a hybrid plug in. My real life experience will tell you diesel is the most reliable. Haha

Anyone waiting for the facelift C-Class?

http://indianautosblog.com/2017/04/2018-me...-snapped-263879

One of the sales rep told me it's gonna be next year - confirmed. Just don't know when exactly.

Don't know why MB upgraded the engine to 9G lately though when the new facelift is only 6 months away....hmm

Sounds great, please share more info. Another option is to mirror your iphone to the screen. That way you can actually make it works exactly like your phone. Apple Carplay only consists of certain apps and very limited 3rd party apps at the moment e.g. pandora, sportify etc.

My previous car was a 328 F30 and I had the impression that it was the best handling I ever had.

I went to Mercedes Benz Driving Experiences 2017. After learning from the instructors and test drove all E-class, C-Class, SLC, CLA models, I find that Mercedes is equally good. I was amazed by the new E-class. Could not imagine it was so stable for sharp cornering. Maybe I was using wrong techniques when I was driving my older Mercedes.

It is a free driving program targeting the prospect buyers and it is conducted annually. Existing customers are invited if there are slots - this is what I was told. I was invited some time ago but I did not know the actual program and I did not attend. This round, I took the slot given to my brother who could not attend due to last minute commitment.

You can search the program in Youtube. What you need to do is to register with one of the authorized dealers. I was told C&C was allocated two days for this one-week program. In 2013, they have an online registration program (http://www.mercedes-benz.com.my/content/malaysia/mpc/mpc_malaysia_website/myng/home_mpc/passengercars/contact_form/MBDE.html). But, I don't think they do the same lately. I am not sure the selection criteria.

Everything is free - food, souvenirs, driving course (not defensive driving but allow you to know the capabilities of the cars), free lapping around the Sepand circuits. Thumb up for the experiences. Must go if you are invited. It is not a sales session and no commitment of purchase is required.

It's equipped with Active Brake Assist Plus, don't think there's collision prevention assist, just the standard PRE-SAFE.

You can always tell by the camera equipped behind the rear view mirror.

C350e has them all: ATTENTION ASSIST, COLLISION PREVENTION ASSIST PLUS, PRE-SAFE system, Keyless Go, Park Assist with PARKTRONIC etc. Is good to have, but is not necessary. I'm afraid the rest of the C class won't get them, You can read more at Paultan.

Both C200 & C250 use higher FC in their latest 9G, C250 has downgraded COMAND Online to basic & smaller screen now.

As stated by paultan -> "Oddly enough, combined fuel consumption has actually increased marginally to between 5.6 to 6.1 litres per 100 km on the C 200 and 5.7 to 6.1 litres per 100 km on the C 250." Of course expect 30-40% or more in actual use.

It's equipped with Active Brake Assist Plus, don't think there's collision prevention assist, just the standard PRE-SAFE.

You can always tell by the camera equipped behind the rear view mirror.

In Malaysia unless they are recond cars, otherwise its the pre-safe only ie. Basic safety features. The advance safety features only in overseas. Apparently, i was informed tt msia road conditions not suitable - lol

Quick question on ECO Start/Stop function - mine seemed to work once but I don't really know how to replicate it again, the green light is on & I can see the symbol on my screen but there's a cross over it, which means it's not activated.

Any idea how do I activate it? Press brake harder or???

Anyone installed a dashcam on C200? Where else can we get the 12v socket other than the one in front.

And if we use the fuse socket beside the drivers seat, does that void warranty?

Also any brand recommendation?

Another 400km later, I managed to improve my C350e FC from 4.8l/100km to 4.0l/100km, another 8% improvement. As expected, my monthly electric bill on 1 charge a day has increased around RM50+, 1 full tank of RON97 cost me RM104 (i only pumped once since I took my car after 1400km, as you can see in the pic, I still have at least half tank more to go before I take the next pump, maybe by month end haha). So total energy consumption is RM154+ for one month usage. Still, it is slightly higher than my previous 320D which cost me only RM130 a month.

Guys, new here.
I just got c300 coupe. Anyone managed to get Internet working? I MB connects to phone via Bluetooth, Bluetooth tethering enabled, I see that client is connected, but browser not working - timeout.
Is this feature available after all in Malaysia?
I was able to get bluetooth tethering working from phone to my tablet, so definitely something wrong with Command Centre...



Same with USB
S8 on digi network.


Thanks

Thsbks,
But I did that, and I see that there is one client connected, but nothing happens. I did even try using my tablet as proxy between s8 and command to eliminate s8 out of equation.

S8 Internet > S8 wifi hotspot > z4 tablet > z4 bluetooth tethering > command online. Same problem.

Event tried blueDun+ app but it seems all connections from command are going via proxy in Stuttgart...

So conclusion:
A) my command wasn't "activated" by dealer
B) MY '17 car running some old firmware.


anyone using command online with Digi?

Thanks

They are two different cars. Features wise, C350e got more. E200 is more comfy becoz of space, other than that, it's a close call between them. Both car has different purpose in my purchase.

Hi all,

I'll be getting my Diamond Silver C180 W205 in a couple of weeks & wanted to clarify a few things beforehand :-

1) Engine oil quantity the same as the C200,250,300 (i.e. 7x1L bottles) or lesser?
2) Anyone sticking to runflats once replaced?
3) Tinting mandatory or nay?; had bad experiences with workmanship on my previous rides where they manhandled the panels
4) If yes, which place would you recommend
5) Go with coating / skinning / self-polish and wax (Autoglym, Meguiars, etc)


Feel free to PM me with your replies - looking forwards towards making some new friends in the process too !

Don't worry much about the battery as many people told you to, as a matter of fact, Prius which has aged more than 9 years old by now didn't give much major problem on its battery, some more, Mercedes is giving you 6 years warranty on that too. There are just too many cried wolf stories about the battery that not many are actually experiencing it.

I booked mine on April. The SA told me delivery is unknown. No promise. And explained the reason is due to attempt to clear c300 stock. But if I m ok to wait. She say can proceed to book.

Her recent update to me is , the past 3 months. Only 3 unit of c250 delivered. It's going to be a long wait.

Have you really joined the club and read through instead? If not, there's one here Toyota Prius Malaysia in Car Clubs, see how many happy Prius owner there. Don't simply make such irrational assumption - "MOST", where's your statistic to label it as "MOST"? By the way, @iHealth C350e has keyless entry, who told you don't have? I am driving one for 2 months + now, need to stress about it, I've only pumped petro once thus far, yes no kidding. But bear in mind, the FC really depends on the user e.g. how you drive, your everyday route etc.

I'm pretty sure there's 3 options for the C350e.
Avantgarde at RM 289k
AMG Line Interior at RM 294k
AMG Interior & Exterior at RM 299k.

QUOTE
Pricing starts from RM289,888 for the baseline variant, with a RM5k increment for the subsequent models, making it RM294,888 for the Avantgarde with AMG Line interior and RM299,888 for the AMG Line variant. This makes it a fair bit more expensive than its primary competitor, the BMW 330e, but it makes up for the increased ask by being loaded with kit.

I'm pretty sure there's 3 options for the C350e.
Avantgarde at RM 289k
AMG Line Interior at RM 294k
AMG Interior & Exterior at RM 299k.

When I bought it that time, the SA told me only two variants, there was no AMG int+ext. I don't think the AMG fits well on a hybrid anyway biggrin.gif

36km means you can run for that distance on 100% electric mode after each charge. For everyday use, we put hybrid mode on, the car will charge itself when you lift your pedal off or press the brake. So it gives you more than 36km as a matter of fact. Does it work? Look at the attached picture, enough said. Well, if petrol cost is not a issue to you, just turn the 100% petrol mode on and u will drive it like a normal C250 with dozens more features.

The car is almost 300k, if there's no energy saving car special tax, the price will be much more than that, for example in Hk, C350e is more than 350k ringgit. It is more useful to European coz they have further individual tax relief for driving energy saving car.

So, this car is created for a purpose, not just a toy. Btw, the electric mode can go for around 24km only, but no problem, I still can get 3.8l/100km, how fantastic it is. I like the tech, but is it at it's best? No, but it could be the future. Ps I still have not gone to the petrol station for the second time, sometimes I wish it could drink the petrol faster when the price is down. Lol

What driving mode u on when u test drive? Eco or comfort? I tested c200 too but I can't tell the difference. Maybe I didn't floor the C200 well? It felt the same to me, in fact less power compared to C350e, especially when I tried to accelerate the car.

Why you think they are rare? They are everywhere. Yes, I hate the eco mode too, I only use it when I really into slow drive or I wanna challenge myself for better FC record. Here's what I think about the car

1) In Hybrid, it is adequate to deliver as a C200, but you do feel sluggish if compared to C250, after all, it's hybrid, it serves its own purpose. I don't think C200 is near to it, especially if I turn off the hybrid. C350e is the energy saving version to C250.

2) To match the performance of a C250, hybrid mode got to be off, but still, a bit lag. Maybe the weight does come into a factor in this scenario?

I don't think it is suitable to someone who always emphasis on performance, that's why, it is a plug in hybrid which caters to its own niche crowd. Otherwise, I would also get C250, is cheaper too. I drove C250 before, the older gen, it was a company car. I switched from 320D, so I've done my consideration enough to buy it. The major reason I get it is because I wanna try a hybrid car as I've never own one before. biggrin.gif

This kind of car is either you hate it or you like it, Malaysian in general still not willing to give it a try coz is not convincing and afraid of many things like resell value and the battery. I'm on this trial and will see what happened in 3 years time. So far, I like it and I'm happy about it. Hope no major issue down the road, will give you all update here. Btw, the car Is so serene in electric mode, felt so luxurious. But once the combustion engine kicks in, I hate the noise.

It is rare! Compared the ratio of c200 to c250 or even 320i to 328 I!Not many ppl is willing to fork out another 40k from c200 to get the 250! FYI, the ride is firmer on the 250! If one wanna own a luxury marquee and worry about RV then I am speechless ! It's true, I am not convinced about this electric thingy as for now! I am more of a performance orientated driver! smile.gif

Another question is, is there anyway we can allow the passenger to lock and unlock the door while the engine is running.

Say the wife wants to wait in the car while the husband run into 7-Eleven, the wife has to lean over to lock the doors from the driver's side door. Same business to unlock and let the husband back in.

Any suggestion?

Well said, that's why I drive this hybrid more coz almost 365 days I'm stuck in the jam & I only go outstation like 2 or 3 times a year. When you are in the jam and you can't speed much in the city, even on a Sunday, I totally don't know what performance you are hoping for and what difference is it between C350e & C250 in terms of performance? Just same to me, in fact, I spend less than half of the petrol price a normal C250 pay. It's just a C class, the real Merce is beyond this class.

Hi,

Maybe you can try this .. download an app called DNSet on your device - its basically a VPN app ..
Open the app and click start.

Now pair your device with the car and see if you can use your online service.

Thsbks,
But I did that,  and I see that there is one client connected, but nothing happens.    I did even try using my tablet as proxy between s8  and command to eliminate s8  out of equation.

S8 Internet > S8  wifi hotspot > z4 tablet > z4  bluetooth tethering > command online.  Same problem.

Event tried blueDun+ app  but it seems all connections from command are going via proxy in Stuttgart...

So conclusion:
A)  my command wasn't "activated"  by dealer
B)  MY '17 car running some old firmware.
anyone using command online with Digi?

Thanks

due to the delay in delivery of c250 (which i'm told by SA could even be v late this year or even next year!), i'm currently contemplating the purchase of a c350e instead.

would like to ask the sifus here, will there be any complication if we rarely (or never) use the plug-in charging? since theoretically one may charge the battery by using the car's charge mode. grateful if experienced users may help to shed light on this.

would like to ask the sifus here, will there be any complication if we rarely (or never) use the plug-in charging? since theoretically one may charge the battery by using the car's charge mode. grateful if experienced users may help to shed light on this.

Same here. I just came back from c&c open house. Checked out the boot space of c350e. Loss of space is severe.
The 19" rim is nice. But tyre is going to cost a bomb.
Exterior is not amg line sad.gif

Looks like MBM 's strategy works big time! To delay the production of c250 so that you all buay tahan and get the electric car instead! Seriously, tested the electric unit! The drive is not as firm as the 250! But if yu are not into sporty drive, the 350e is your cup of tea! But despite of which models, some say you will still stuck in the heavy traffic jam everyday! laugh.gif

Another question is, is there anyway we can allow the passenger to lock and unlock the door while the engine is running.

Say the wife wants to wait in the car while the husband run into 7-Eleven, the wife has to lean over to lock the doors from the driver's side door. Same business to unlock and let the husband back in.

Any suggestion?
*
Just try try on your query! Yes, the front passenger can lock/unlock all doors ! No need to lean over to the driver side to do it! My apology to my earlier comment! tongue.gif

Wow. C350e Colours are very limited. Just black, silver and blue.
If you want selenite gray you must take with the carbon fibre dash board (replace the wood grain). Very ugly in my opinion.
So, back to waiting for my c250. Will wait for new engine model for 2018

There is no stock for c350e full amg line. You can order but the wait time will be as elusive as c250. I booked c250 in April but I was informed it might be next year.

Ready stock is only available for c350e amg interior black ,white , silver. That was the list given to me by C&C

PJ branch. If can get c350e full amg line i rather wait. It's just another rm5k. Don't want to end up buying a c350 amg interior then next month c350e full amg is available.

But color is also limited.

E350e has already been a while in Thailand. In Malaysia, the current C350e has two versions, avant-garde & AMG interior. Major different is the AMG int with panoramic roof. Look at the roof and you can tell.

Good deal bro! Nah.....I prefer dark peach color seats ! But guessed if ckd, they don't offer this! Most cbu models has this color! One thing this MBM likes to offer light grey color seats! Wtf! Btw, I am not a electric car lover! Still don't see the advantage of owning one till now ! laugh.gif

I just guessing maybe c350e cant sell as well as 330e. Perhaps hap seng have committed to certain quota and now have to clear b4 new variants coming in. Very tempted but i rather wait for the amgline and stick to red interior. πŸ˜‚ since i have no rush to get the car. On second tot, i am considering revert to c250amg line but the delivery date is unknown. Some source told me the production for c250 only resume in oct 2017. Wondering what pekan plant is assembling now.

Red interior is fierce bro! I guessed the focus fr MBM should be the ckd W213! HSS is always competitive in pricing and most likely yes, they don't mind throwing prices just to fulfill quota allocated! For the price of c350e, maybe if you sniff around, you can get C300! I believed there R still some units lurking behind those dealers! But most likely 2016 models! tongue.gif

C300😁seriously i dun mind 2016 model if they still have any units left. But i doubt it as the variant been phased out quite sometime ago. W213 is competing with g30 at the moment. And pre reg w213 also avail at slightly north of 300k. So guess mbm not doing well on the w213.

Pre reg 213 most likely are those demo units and E200! These cbu units mostly don't come with the digital dash display! Don't think the G30 can beat the w213 in terms of sales figure! The Ckd E250 is features packed ! BMW is still the same old 90s interior! Anyway, happy waiting for your c250! Trust me, it's a joy to drive! biggrin.gif

Just called my SA, according to her c250 amg ceased production. So its either take the c350e or wait for c350e amgline. Those who booked c250 are all stuck now. In addition, c200 amgline is launching by 4th quarter. This explained why hap seng is pushing off the c350e avangarte and amg interior as in the future the will be only c350e amgline variant. All these is from my SA and please check with ur SA also. I am not sure how true is this infomation. Appreciate someone here can clarify. As for me, since c250 is out now, i just wait for c200amgline or c350e amgline and see which one i like b4 decide.

hello everyone, sorry to bump my nose in like this, i am from Proton Sungai Besi, Sales Advisor there, just wanting to know from the sifu-sifu here, my uncle wants to purchase the C200 Avantgarde 2017 model, or preferable any older model(but new & unregistered) within the price rage of RM200k. he is currently an employee of Perkeso, and he said that he is a Professional in his field of career. The thing he wants to know is, what are the discounts currently being offered to Professionals. and does he need to provide any sort of documentation to say that he is a Professional. Because as far as I know, Doctors and Engineers or Lawyers do get a certain amount of fair discount for these cars. Any Sales Advisors from Mercedes, if you read this, i really need help to clarify these matter. he is looking to purchase the car within the month August if possible. I hope to deliver good news to him with the help of all Sifu-Sifu. thanks so much to Admin.

Did you get it directly from HSS or C&C? Do the SA sell pre-owned unit even if they're supposed to sell new units only?

I was told all the demo units get snatched up very fast from appointed dealers around malaysia.

Wonder how true is that.

Does potong give disc to 'professional'? Why should dealers give disc? My friend is also a professional as he works for JPJ as he claimed! Does he entitled any disc as he wants to buy a perdana? Such a troll, if you are in the car trade, shouldn't you know the industry well or you are just a rookie SA fresh out from sch! Let me teach you, why don't your uncle just walk into the showroom and enquire ? whistling.gif

Wow! That's a bargain!...if this kind of deal exist 2.5 months ago I would have grabbed it....felt like I'm settling with A demo C200.

Reason being:
1) C350e still doesn't have blind spot mirror and apple car play
2) The resale value is untested since I'm planning to change within 3 yrs
3) my first entry to merc 😁

I just find myself hunger for tech in a car, ie Head Up display, active cruise control, lane departure warning, Apple car play etc.

Driving around with my phone sitting above the center cup holder compartment while I use google maps or waze is just dangerous especially the eye level gap is quote big.

Most importantly is the car play, even a Honda civic has it! πŸ˜…

Anyway, FC really surprised me even for c200. I was told it's good but now I really feel it.

Ya I got it directly from C&C and only few units left.I think is because they are going to launch C350e AMG line soon that why they have to clear all these before the launching .

no official news on this?

I am also waiting for the update. by right c350e amg/amg and e350e should launch this month. However, still no news until today. on 27/7/17 mbm is launching E coupe. Hopefully they roll out C350E amg/amg and E350e together. C200amg line coming by 4th quarter of the year it seems. so anyone have latest information feel free to update here. biggrin.gif biggrin.gif

I got my c350e in june, lastmonth. I just wanna share a little bit of my experience with this model.

First, the fully-charged battery normally can't last for 31km as told by the SA. It actually based on our driving behavior and mine last for about 22km for my driving behavior (which i got "horn" by others most of the time XD). The weird thing is, sometime u will just lost few Km upon your next start-up. Eg, before you shut off the vehicle, the display showed 15km left. Upon next start-up, it show 13km. In my opinion, this hybrid model is not as good as my expectation because i travel quite a distance/many places in a day.

Secondly, i felt tired in the sense of driving experience when the battery running low in hybrid-mode. Because the vehicle frequently switching between the combustion engine & electric drive and you need to well-control the gas pedal. Too soft on the gas pedal (still in electric drive with low battery condition), the car will move like turtle. Too hard on the gas pedal, sudden activation of combustion engine and "over" power supply, u will feel "choking" on d vehicle.

Thirdly, my c350e's transmission is terrible. In electric driving mode, i don't feel smoothness on the 2nd to 3rd gear transmission. If i switch to charging mode or R mode, which the combustion engine is always on, transmission up-shift always causes the RPM reaches 2000+, and down-swift always causes "jerking" feeling. Some said this my be the adaptive transmission problem, which can be solved by sending back to the center to do resetting. Well, i will send for checking regarding this matter soon, and update here again.

Anyways, although i had a not so good experience with my first Mercedes, still i love it so much.

I had issues with the transmission during test drive in april.I booked c250 after that. then last week I test drove the c350e again, because of the uncertain wait for c250, and surprisingly, the transmission issue is not there.

Not sure bro! I rejected the service,vouchers and converted them to cash discount! I believed the vouchers are meant for normal service for the first 3 under schedule A! When you check the servicing menu at the sc, you will notice lots of nonsense items added on by the dealers! You can reject those added on items but I was told see & see die die won't let you reject these items!

I got my c350e in june, lastmonth. I just wanna share a little bit of my experience with this model.

First, the fully-charged battery normally can't last for 31km as told by the SA. It actually based on our driving behavior and mine last for about 22km for my driving behavior (which i got "horn" by others most of the time XD). The weird thing is, sometime u will just lost few Km upon your next start-up. Eg, before you shut off the vehicle, the display showed 15km left. Upon next start-up, it show 13km. In my opinion, this hybrid model is not as good as my expectation because i travel quite a distance/many places in a day.

Secondly, i felt tired in the sense of driving experience when the battery running low in hybrid-mode. Because the vehicle frequently switching between the combustion engine & electric drive and you need to well-control the gas pedal. Too soft on the gas pedal (still in electric drive with low battery condition), the car will move like turtle. Too hard on the gas pedal, sudden activation of combustion engine and "over" power supply, u will feel "choking" on d vehicle.

Thirdly, my c350e's transmission is terrible. In electric driving mode, i don't feel smoothness on the 2nd to 3rd gear transmission. If i switch to charging mode or R mode, which the combustion engine is always on, transmission up-shift always causes the RPM reaches 2000+, and down-swift always causes "jerking" feeling. Some said this my be the adaptive transmission problem, which can be solved by sending back to the center to do resetting. Well, i will send for checking regarding this matter soon, and update here again.

Anyways, although i had a not so good experience with my first Mercedes, still i love it so much.

My loan also approved and car number also bought. I changed my c250 booking to c350e amg. But really have my doubt with the small 31km battery. I know I ll end up dragging an empty battery around. And it's quite annoying to be charging multiple times daily. And also the reduced boot space is quite sad.
I'm going to stretch my Budget and go for glc 250 or glc250 coupe

actually i consider c350e not bcoz of the fuel consumption or the pure electric range. i am more attracted by the combined hp and torque. therefore, i would always keep it in s+ mode and when battery drain out then i will go for echarge mode. good thing about c350e is you could charge up to 90% on the road. then i could use it again. perhaps many ppl got misleaded by 31km electric mode which is based on purely electric drive and dead engine driving range. but for me, i will never leave it on e mode. i would rather hybrid or sport + or echarge. however i do agree that dragging 300kgs battery on the road is not a brilliant idea and i do felt upset about losing of boot space. well,nothing perfect. thats just my 2 cents.😁 have a good one bro. making a decision on cars is painful process. 😊😊

Agree! Been thinking Long. But the boot space is worrying. I need it to at least be able to fit some of my oversea client's luggage bag. And my children's stuff lol. My budget had jumped from c200 all the way up. Must be mbm's strategy

If boot space is your concern i think c250 or glc 250 suit you more. Rumour saying that c200amg will start production in 4Q. But nothing firm.

This is my 4th month with C350e, my fc has further improved to 3.6l/100km! Looks like the 2+l/100km on paper is achievable if you have charging station at both point A & B. I may consider to subscribe to chargEV coz there are quite a few stations around my everyday place. So far, I've pumped three times of petrol only since the day 1 I had my car. Brilliant!

Yes, it is a problem if the stuff is tall. But think positively, fold down your back seats and you can fit in a bicycle/surf board. GLC 250 can't do that too. biggrin.gif

U need to use e-mode for short distance to achieve good FC. I use e-mode all the time when the distance is short enough for return. I rarely use e-save, unless there's a smooth traffic and a long way say from puchong to kepong. Again, i have said this many times, I really don't feel the battery weight. If you are driving in S mode most of the time, more reason that battery weight shouldn't be a burden at all, don't you think the car cruises effortlessly and powerful in S mode?

I think to challenge ourselves to get a better FC record is a fun thing to do with such car. I always think of ways to improve it for my own record. I hope one day I can achieve less than 3l/100km.

Hmm, I would say this car is very contemporary and it takes some effort to adapt to it and to appreciate it. It is not as "convenient" as you think. Eg, r you ok to charge your car at least once a day? Will you get "agitated" when you see the battery is draining that fast when driving? Another thing, I noticed the % of charging is affected by weather. If the weather is hot, you get 1,2km less.

I mentioned this before here that to buy this C350e, you have to make sure the car fits into your daily routine and your lifestyle. Don't buy it if you require your car to go long miles and you need to use it frequently. Your FC should end up 7-8l/100km range.

For me, I use the car to work and home thats all. I go gym and do my grocery nearby with it. I also have some chargEV stations around my work place which could be handy to me in future. That's y I dare to get it and to try. The tech still needs a long way to go. Buy it when it gives you 100km per charge.

I do a lot of short burst travel. From my house to office. Both also have outlet for me to charge. Not an issue. But when client comes to visit I can't offer to pick them from airport if they got big bags lol

C200 / 2016. Ride is ok. So far quite happy. Engine noise is a bit loud as I am more used to V6 in Mercs. Noise insulation is so so only. Consumption is superb. Mileage now is 15,000km (first service is at confident 10,000km which is a bit surprising). But I still prefer my old 5 year old E class....hahaha..
