Just order this leather wheel cover for the steering from aliexpress. Need to do some needlework myself. Look easy on youtube video.

Anybody find if the paint work of the new B class sucks?

My car door got knock by some inconsiderate driver, and there is paint chip. This is the second time already. Now the car is full of pimple paint chips. Sad.......

All the best with the stitching..

BTW if you have the FL W246, the steering wheel is different, so do check with your seller, so he gives you the right version, cheers.

Got this from aliexpress..

I installed a HUD from Amazon on my W246. Need to fine tune the offset to match the reading from the speedometer and the torque. Something like this in the picture. Transferred from my old jap car.

 

that is pretty neat, can share the link in amazon ?

I will go for my tire rotation at Pandan later this month, may I know how long will it take on a weekday?

Also, is there a boutique showroom there too? Might try and use some vouchers.

Anyone using the Genuine Mercedes Modular Travel and Style System, Base Module with Universal Hook? Or what do you use to hang your market purchases?
 

When you do the tire rotation, are we also allowed to enjoy the breakfast? Finally, do you guys take a shuttle back to Pandan or just grab a cab? 

Thanks

I cannot comment for Pandan loop. I went to Ubi workshop. It will depend on your luck, if u encounter someone changing tires, it will take more than an hour wait. Ubi is around 45 mins normal wait.

As for hooks, I just bought those from Qoo10. Only $3-4.

So far in city driving I have managed around 9l / 100km

This week I did a lot of highway runs so I can see the FC improving to 6.6/100km 

I can hit 398km on half a tank!

Hi New Members

Remember to collect your free SGMERC Car decal from me at the next MU, alternatively remember to join our TCSS telegram chat

Just FYI

The techs at Merc know there are some rattling issues with the B Pillar, so if you do get some sounds, sound it out to your reps, and they can check it out..

 

I saw how they handle issues:

 

You get assigned a service rep, he's the one with the nice tie and sits in the showroom or service centre. He then calls a chap in blue to come in, who listens for such sounds, and then takes note of what needs to be.

 

He then drives the car into the service area..

 Hi,

Any bro also ask me to do it for him. I told him can do it for a fee. Can pm u if u want.

I bought the leather cover from Ali express, the seller is betty auto accessories.  The screen capture of the link is attached. 

I spend quite sometime searching YouTube video to look at how people do it, but cannot find one for b class. So have to try and error for a while. Took me about 4 to 5 hours to complete the job.

Three generations of the B Class

Looks like real surgery..

No double side tape though..

 

[petetherock]

Nice color scheme...

Tough job...

For JS 400 DVR users:

 

You can use up to a 64 Gb card. But remember that the card needs to be formatted as a MS DOS format, not ex Fat or it won't work.

 

Use a basic card. Sometimes the more expensive and fast ones won't work.

Any issue with not starting the car for about 11 days or so?

Will the battery be ok?

Thanks
