Just a noob question. The service interval was preset by MBM to be 12k. Do we need sent th car for engine oil checking on a 5 k interval? I am W204 C250 FL owner here. Thanks.

Thanks guys for the feedback. Another noob question. How do you function the paddle shifter? This is the first time driving conti . Old ride was an accord.

Ok. Thanks man! But the changing of gers is like purely listening to the sound of engine like the old manual ger shift or the onboard computers will tell u when to shift? I have not really tried this driving mode. Sorry for being a noob.

This is tough. I guessed I just google it.

I was told MBM will void warranty unless this device is purchased from them. NZ wheel did a promo 6 months back with the 2011 C200.

Ha..ha.. I dislike see & see! Most of the sa's eyes are on top of their head.anyway, the w204 is no fun to drive under 1.5k rpm. the car can hardly move but once you Tekan above 2k rpm, the beast started to unleash its horses.

Ha..ha..sport mode is scary! Just look at those rpm rises! Phewwww.....

I felt the slowness in driving the E 250. But 7gtronic is slow in kick down speed. Very slow respond. Therefore to master using paddle shift is an advantage but now I am still in the dark over this technology.

Not really dude. I am with c250 FL. The turbo lag is too much. Try kick down out o a corner and it behaves like a untamed horses.

E63 is in the super league Ler. how I wish I can get hold of one to drive. Hopefully my next advance driving course in April I can have a taste of the sheer power. Lol. Don't mind a C63 either.

C200 and c250 should have the same size of rims but different design. The steering wheel of the 250 is that similar of cls.

I guess anything to do with recond is a gamble in my opinion.luck plays a big part in getting these cars.how much is the 2009 recond? Uk spec?

I guessed you have bought the c180.

Which year? E204 is what model?

Almost same as jap car la. Jap is 5 k interval. The first 1k also need service.

Yeah..yeah... 4 years peace of mind. New car versus old car.

Ok what? My previous Honda service at 5 k interval and each service cost around 500 rm.

Bullet proof? I don't think any manufacturers would dare to make this claim. Furthermore, you are buying used or recond car. I think local model still ok but recond, I opinion that much more attention needed to be paid in terms of maintenance. Insight is a hybrid car and A &B class is non. I believed the fuel tank of a Mercedes is much bigger than the jap. So you hav to take this as consideration as well. The right move should be B class in terms of space. Just my humble two cents.
