This link to tyre testing has an excellent intro to what the difference is between a ‘normal’ tyre and the same tyre that has an original Equip marking It shows a Michelin tyre and same design, that has been ‘modified’ for the car manuf. Hence MOE markings on casing for Mercedes and BMW...

Yes, kept hard copy of settings before and after for both cars. From memory both cars have same settings, will recheck readings. One is standard steel springs, other air suspension. Alignment done at Dealer, based on VIN and build state - assume HQ has correct parameters. Both cars have same...

Forgot to mention, Coupe has air suspension, those were the tyres with chunks out. Wago has standard steel suspension. Maybe something in that ? Will ask dealer at next service in late Feb.

In Australia, RHD build. 1 x 250D 2016 wagon. 1 x 250D 2017 Coupe. MB changed tyres from Pirelli to Goodyear All Season to ‘fix’ this crabbing issue - yes it did help - for a while !! UK MB then went on a campaign to offer owners free front knuckle replacements in Feb 2019 for older model...

Interesting report from owner in Australia. I wonder if UK and USA models will suffer same issues ? ” “ Visited Mercedes-Benz Sydney (Alexandria) today and absolute craziness there today (end of month deliveries, etc). Anyway, managed to chat to two of the sales guys who had a bit of time –...

Thanks. Dealer has modified washer tank - I think removed some of the fine filter and flushed tank as well. Suggested I use MB washer additive as it has an alcohol so potentially to kill off growth - not cheap compared to Auto store, but have purchased and will see how it goes. They did suggest...

Several Oz owners are reporting this. It appears that Algae may be forming in the water tank. Large tank, not emptied often, heat from engine, etc. Water quality impact to sauce filter to block up and pump works, but cannot suck water to spray. May need an additive to stop algae growth - not...

In the USA and I thought UK, Mercedes changed the design of the brake pads to eliminate this issue, some pads were replaced under warranty. I understand the end of the pads are now rounded or angled , not straight ended - this cuts out the frequency issue of squeal.. Check if there is a new...

We had the same issue - in the end we separated the water hose under the bonnet from the washer jets. Took cap off water bottle, made sure it was full. Then very carefully attached a can of aerosol air used for camera cleaning - then blew air in reverse, back down into the bottle. We have had to...

On closer examination the panel that is discolouring is actually loosing its top coat. Bit like if you got sunburnt and you loose the top skin layer to peeling. The gloss black revealed a Matt plastic base. Rest of car duco is immaculate, so something wrong with initial application or quality...

Hi We have 2016 GLC series with Pana Sun roof - there I’d a filler fixed roof panel between sunroof lip and windscreen. The filler panel is discolouring along length of the edge. How are other owners ? Same issue, looks like corroding ?

Well its time for a mid life GLC upgrade. Just purchased Dash Cam – Thinkware U1000 4K front camera, 2K rear camera with Radar parking sensor too. Will probably have it installed by local firm to save sleepless night thinking about which terminals to use in fuse box !! Gave up buying the MB dash...

Update. Re MB dash cam. Data seems to indicate. - 1080p - audio - supercapacitor - GPS - WiFi module - Smartphone app control App called Mercedes-Benz Dashcam. This seems to control most functions including downloads. No idea if software has ability to hover over areas and magnify like Thinkware...

Mercedes have added new accessories for earlier GLC family- namely front and rear dash cams. wire pack, adhesive pack and micro SD card pack. Complete system excluding install with 32Gb MB card is close to AU$1200. SD card is expensive at $101 for 32Gb card. Front A2139055310 rear. A2139055510...

Never heard that before. Is noise constant or increases with speed ? Maybe a rock or nail / screw in a tyre - often give a click, click when driving if you have picked up something in tread.

Think I may have fixed non operational windscreen washers ? heated rubber feed tube where it joins first row of jets on bonnet and uncoupled it. Had to shut bonnet to operate wipers and water jets (safety aspect ?) and pumped water, very low pressure, had a can of compressed air and used it to...

Many thanks. In Australia not a lot of snow, but we do get large dumps and the few roads have limited grader snow Plow clearing. Parks Authority is the local Govt people who control the park and road access. We tend to be a little backward in regulations and usually only allow diamond pattern...

Snow chains on 4matic GLC - fit front or rear ? Hi, I have read the user manual and it is not clear if low profile snow chains should only be fitted to front or rear tyres. We have All Season Eagle Goodyear M&S RFT fitted and I understand our all wheel drive - 4Matic - system with traction...

Great News....... Well it looks like the flood gates have been opened in Oz for the knuckle replacement program to RHD vehicles. Our 250d, with air suspension finally was approved last week and car was converted. Limited driving to date, but it seems what we thought it should be like on wet...
