I don't know where JoeBloggs58 went but Mulligans in Dublin 8 has a very good reputation as a Merc Indie. If you are in the Northside there are D&S autos in Swords that are highly recommended and do a lot of work for Beschoffs.

What type of range are you getting out of the battery?

Sorry haven't come across this issue myself or seen it being raised by others.

Just checked my three NCT reports (ended up being retested twice) and emissions was N/A. I was clearly so focused on the imbalance at the time that I missed that. A 0% imbalance is very impressive. Would you believe the first reading I got was 74% imbalance!

Great stuff that you sailed through the NCT. Am away at the moment but going to look at my NCT certificate as pretty sure they did the emissions test on mine with the ICE on. When you say zero imbalance, are you saying the percentage reading of imbalance was 0%?

@Boyband yeah have heard something along the same lines very politely put by a MB dealer sales rep (who wasn't trying to sell me a C350e).

It is an interesting observation and not an unfair one. My own view on owning a C350e having posted the full list of issues is that you are getting a lot of car for your money (given the level of depreciation from new). The costs of solving the issues as they come up do add up but they, in and...

Hi Urgi, Firstly, good work on all the research you have done before posing the question. I respect someone who does that amount of research! To answer your question bluntly, I don't think anyone (including myself) would buy another C350e after owning one. It is essentially a flawed car that...

Not if it is a calm day and everyone plugs in are the same time!! However, just taking the EV owners, for most users they won't be plugging in every day. The vast majority will on average probably plug in once a week.

@Merc1234merc have you had any luck in getting this issued resolved?

Sold

I think that is a very general comment. Depending on the car I would both agree and disagree with it. Take a Toyota Hybrid, that tech has been around for quite a long time and it well covered by lengthy warranty periods (and plenty of third party options if the batteries fail where regular...

Thanks for this info on the charger. This will no doubt be useful to others. Aren't the three pin chargers type 1 rather than type 2? I may have this wrong.

What is the average W206 getting @Diesel Benz? I take it stated range is 60 miles so real world 30/40? @Paddywack0 It certainly would be great to have the a battery that even stored enough charge capable of the stated 19 miles in the real world. Won't come from MB though as Diesel Benz has...

We were all busy charging..
