    Ball joints on W205 C-Class - Known Issue?

    I had my W205 C300H in for a service last week and they identified that the front suspension ball joints had a lot of "play" in them and advised that they should be replaced. They said that it was a known issue with the W205 C-Class and that it would be covered under warranty. Has anyone had...

    Summer tyre suggestions for 2015 C300H (W205)

    Can anyone suggest a Summer tyre for a 2015 C300H (W205). I'm running original multi-spoke 19-inch AMG alloys. 225/40 R19 front. 255/35 R19 rear. I don't want run-flats. The original runflats (Pirelli's) were awful and I replaced them with Michelin Alpin Winter tyres. I want a Summer tyre which...

    Advice needed: New C Class c300h in garage for almost a month waiting for part!!

    I rang my local Merc garage (Sunderland) and told them the whole story and their parts guy checked on their systems and confirmed that there is zero availability on the wiper motor for the C300. No UK garages have the spare part and there are none in the supply chain. So sounds like the garage...

    Advice needed: New C Class c300h in garage for almost a month waiting for part!!

    The wiper motor is not specific to c300h. Which is the annoying thing. Its the same part on every W205 C Class. How can it take a month to source the part? Have they halted production of the C Class because they have no wiper motors to fit to new cars. Of course not. We know where their...

    Advice needed: New C Class c300h in garage for almost a month waiting for part!!

    They (Mercedes, not the garage) have organised a loan car via Europcar. Its an entry-level C Class (C200) which is fine, but its not my car that I paid £40K for just 9 months ago.

    Advice needed: New C Class c300h in garage for almost a month waiting for part!!

    My 9 months old C Class (W205) c300h has been off the road for almost a month while Mercedes source a replacement part. History of the problem is that the dashboard flashed up a "Wiper Malfunction" quickly followed by a red warning with a picture of a battery with Failure written underneath...

    W205 C Class - No outdoor temperature display?

    I had a loan C250 while my C300h was getting serviced and it had the outside temp in bottom left of all screens. Seems the 300h hybrid has a slightly different display (additional info for hybrid status). So anyone with a C300h just needs to get the latest software to display the outside temp at...

    W205 C Class - No outdoor temperature display?

    ITS FIXED!!! Had my C300h in for a service today and they installed new software for the trip computer display and the outside temperature is now displayed on the main mileage screen (its not displayed on any of the other screens but I can live with that).

    Excessive Tyre Wear W205 C-Class

    Just checked tyres on 4-month old C300h and rears are down to about 3mm. Car has done 10,000 miles, but they have been very steady miles. Long motorway journeys around UK. Car very rarely out of Comfort mode. Fronts are still healthy at about 6mm. Car is running on 19-inch wheels with Pirelli P...

    W205 C Class - No outdoor temperature display?

    Had my C class C300h in at the Merc dealer and they tried for over an hour to get this to work. Not sure they knew what they were doing. I mentioned disabling UK mode and just got blank looks.

    C300h MPG?

    The electric motors are used when pulling away (up to about 15-20 mph) and also used to fill the gaps before the diesel engine starts up. For example when slowing down for a slow bend in the road the diesel engine will switch off, and when you apply the accelerator the motors provide a boost of...

    C300h MPG?

    Has anyone got a new C Class (W205) C300h? If so just wondering what MPG you were getting. Just got mine 2 weeks ago and have averaged 50MPG. Which is good but nowhere near the 78.5MPG shown in the brochure!!

    W205 C Class - No outdoor temperature display?

    Did anyone ever get this issue resolved in the UK. Just got my new C300 on Friday and it has same problem. Can I ask dealer to delete "UK mode". Will that affect anything else significant?
