Greetings to All

Hi All,

 

Greetings. Will be receiving my W205 C180 soon, which will be my 1st merc and hope to learn from all the seniors here.

 

First off, have 2 queries:

 

1. Is it advised to run in the engine? Had asked the SE and he had mentioned not required.

2. For after sales services (ie. warranty issues, problems arises, etc), will I be contacting the SE or directly with the relevant departments?

 

Cheers.

Welcome!! Love your nick.

1) yes is better to run-in from 1000 km at least.

2) u may contact the SE or call their service hotline for all your issue/s.

Hi blackmercs,

Congrats. We are both receiving our rides at about same timing. Haha

[JoJoArmani]

Congrats to you too Damienic.

 

Yah was pushing the SE to register before July to avoid the CEV.

Not sure of the exact date, but understand my ride arrived SG port early Jun and was registered on 17 Jun.

 

But from my SE, he mentioned that there was only 2 registration session for Jun, 1 of which is early Jun and the other on 17 Jun. So if yours had not been registered, but push to July (guessing only). Do check with your SE.

My SE also mentioned no need run-in. So the collective opinion is better to run-in after 1000km come back to C&C and change EO and oil filter is it ? I should press my SE further on this

Not exactly no run in required. you are advised not to whack the throttle until redline during the first 1500km. This was what the C class manual says.

I see many thanks for your clarification. I was under the impression that we would need to change EO as per typical Japanese cars initial 1k km change.

New car confirm will not "redline" it's a B class for me after all not a performance car so would not push the limit with my new baby thanks nonetheless for the advice !
