Anyone did racechip/plug and play mods to their W205? Any recommendation or issues with dealer during service?

racechip is fake. They usually wont work.

based on your experience?  Or are you referring to Throttle Response Device?  TRD is not work.  3 party racing chip does increase hp and torque.

Link is to show you that stock is better. And if you were to check out German and UK forums, Racechip doesn’t work. Also, I’ve asked them if they are willing to let me dyno before and after (if it doesn’t work, they pay for the dyno session). If the chip works, I will be more than happy to share. Racechip does not work.

I am using full Xpel front on my Palladium. It is very good for me and no noticeable color change for me. It is easy for me to maintain myself, although you can opt to go back to them for yearly maintenance for a fee.

If you are having white one then maybe you will see some yellowing over the years. Still better than repainting whole white bonnet because repaint 1 part will certainly have different shade from other white parts too.

how much you paid for this?

Best is to do dyno before and after

yes. And if Racechip stand by their product, they should be brave (or confident) enough for a money back guarantee

Just to share my C350e mileage for a full tank of petrol with the combination of hybrid n e-mode. It show 818km with at least 100km reserve fuel. Hence I will assume easily it can achieve 900++km for a full tank petrol.  This is achieved based on a daily charge from home at night, morning drive to office (31km fr home), recharge at office parking, driving back home fr office.  Overall I m happy with the mileage achieved, but it requires a lot of discipline on stepping on the pedal, depend on what you think, some may think that this is not the way to drive a mercs.  Hope this sharing helps.

Good stuff. Hypermileing your w205.

I have the C250 averaging around 12km/l, am already pretty happy with the consumption.
based on your mileage, you are getting close to 17km/l which is pretty amazing

hi,
I am looking to buy second hand E200 Merc. What do you guys think about second hand 3-4 years E200. First time owning a german car, not sure is it as reliable as Japanese second hand?
*
It is just as reliable as Japanese cars within the first 4-6 years of ownership.

Mercedes are much more expensive to own as their servicing costs are high. And parts are very expensive too.

Got both the C300 and GLC250, no oil consumption. Both serviced at 12k km. Check dipstick every month.

VW passat on the hand, drinks about 1.2L after ~10,000km.

How often do you change your brake pad? after how many km?
*
Depends on how you drive. If you are a tailgater, 15k km. If you drive on Zen mode, 35k km.

My car is around 28k km, still got a bit of life left on the pads
