Collected my W212 today...Guess what...

[rmjunior]

Collected my new ride this afternoon from Cnc then planned to install HID and dimmer for DRL. It was raining along the way and upon reaching the workshop, noticed that both sides "big small eyes" had water condensed inside the cover. Affected area was like 70% percent of the headlight. Did not install the lights and head home. Fearing that if I changed the lights, CnC might use it as an excuse not to replace the headlight cover as it was not authorized by them.

And guess what, the driver side window auto winding up also not working!!!

Sigh.....

[blackmercs]

Water condensations in the headlight is a norm for a new car. I suspect due to thorough washing using water jet equipment. Most of us got it and is a known issue and acknowledge by Daimler.

Window power issue too for a brandnew car?? Apply the Lemon law then

i thought not suppose to operate window within 48hr? my SE said it might dislodge the tinting cause damage..

I collected my ride 1 week after registration

And no warning sticker on the window button nor instruction from SE.

So I reckon is after 48hrs already.

[retiefgoosen]

i had the same issue with water condensation..

dont worry, after a week- is all gone

I did my HID installation 3 days after collecting the ride.

 

window wise... better call your SE

 

so far, I am enjoying my ride...

Maybe the advice on not operating the windows for 48 hours is because they have just installed the solar film?

Bro, was your fogging issue this bad?

 

 

I am holding on to the installation of HID until this issue get sorted.

CnC might use this excuse to reject my claims.

[Odessus]

Mine was worst. After 1-2 weeks it was completely gone and never came back since...

Any reason why this so? Gone after 2 weeks?

[blackmercs]

I got mine ex E cabrio on day one also found moisture in the headlight. Its will goes away no worries, why, how, what etc no idea.

It's Singapore air fighting a winning battle with Germany air. Water vapours you see are casualties.

 Mine not as bad, but 50% of what you shown here.

 

how it went away,, i dont know also

 

wait and see

[rmjunior]

Thanks for sharing your experience.

Seems like it will go away...Will monitor the situation and see how.

At the same time, will inform CnC of the situation.

As for the faulty window, my SE has taught me how to rectify it, to re-sync the window

Its working fine now.

I changed my headlamp once and condensation appears a day after i collect my ride (as it rains).

Went back to workshop and they have it fixed. I was told sealing not done properly. A year on and still ok. So i guess this is pretty normal.

 

My new ride also has loads of issues in the first month. But they eventually got it fixed.

[rmjunior]

Did you change the headlamp at CnC?

[jaglim]

Did you change the headlamp at CnC?

Nope. Someone damaged my headlamp and i got it change in a workshop in Sin Min.

[rmjunior]

I see...

Anyway, my ride is at Pandan now for inspection.

[retiefgoosen]

whats the update?

[rmjunior]

They just change the headlights diaphragm.

Need to monitor if still have condensation

[retiefgoosen]

thanks for the update.

 

My fuel filler cap is malaligned and cant shut properly. so everytime I lock the car, the fueller cap will pop out and stayed unlocked. Unless I applied pressure and on the cap and then only lock the car.

 

heading to c and c to rectify it.

 

at the same time sort out the air  bubble on the tint.

[rmjunior]

How come this batch of W212 so many issues?

Hope your issues could be rectify within a day..

[retiefgoosen]

actually is the cable holding the fueller cap. just need to make sure is properly pulled down before shutting.

C&C advisors say is common among the W212

[rmjunior]

To C&C, any problem is common.

Something wrong with the QC then

Now there is weird sound coming from the A pillar near the IU area when I go over uneven roads, need to send in for diagnostic again

Sigh..
