I ordered the Cool Blue Intense, and after a couple weeks, they are a very good improvement, much whiter and easier on the eyes, and no loss of output compared with the originals. Ordered from PowerBulbs.com. Took a few hours for them to whiten up

So I've had the thermostat and water pump replaced under warranty. However still the same behaviour. I can be driving normally for ages and it'll stay at 90c. Then occasionally it'll drop down to 75-80C, then it'll rise back to 90C (all within about 1-2 minutes) then it'll stay at 90 for another...

Yes its under warranty. Its done about 57K. I will keep you posted :)

I think so, this was the old part....

Had the Thermostat replaced under warranty but still the same. Sounds like it could be the water pump then.... I will report back once I know the root cause

Hi I have a 2014 C250 CDI. The temp normally stays around the 87-90C mark. However recently its been getting to that mark, and after about 40 minutes of driving it'll slowly drop to 75-80c mark, then slowly raise back to where it was. This happens on almost every journey now, sometimes multiple...

Yep its NTG 4.7. I'll have to keep in touch with my dealer right until the day my warranty ends :)

Does anyone know how often these maps come out. I'm currently on 2017/2018 v16.0, just wondered if theres likely to be another release before my warranty ends in November.

Upgrade as in different bulbs. Ive read a bit about the Osram Cool Blue Intense so I may have to give them ago. I was wondering if anyone had experience of swapping from the Standard Philips Xenstart to an upgrade type bulb. Back in my halogen days, going from a stock bulb to Osram...

Has anyone upgrade from the standard Philips XenStart in W204 Bi-Xenon Lights? I used to think they were brilliant coming from halogens, but i've been driving a VW with full LED headlights recently, and coming back to the merc, the brightness isn't the same, nor is the colour temperature :(

I had the same issue in my 2014 W204 coupe. Software update didn't fix it, but a new antenna booster/amplifier fixed it and the signal is rock solid. As others have said, its a known issue and fixed under warranty :)

Does anyone know what the latest map version is?

Hi, How easy was this to do? Did you replace the tweeters or not?

ILS is great! However it annoys me it only activates at 35mph+ and deactivates at 30mph or less. This is not good when driving down small country lanes slowly. I have to change the switch from auto to on Is there a way the speed for high beam assist can activated at lower speeds? Maybe a star...

Does anyone know what the latest version is, and when they get released ? Mine currently says Map Data version no: 2016/2017 (V15.0) Europe
