    The tank holds 25 litres IIRC, so if full will usually last between services. Only adding 10 litres will mean that, at some point, a top-up between services will be required. So not enough if you think it should last between services, which is presumably what the tank is sized for.

    Yes, but only 10 litres.

    W204 2013 c180 main dealer service £139

    I believe that the Value service will not extend the MB roadside assistance cover, as a regular service would.

    Another start-stop question

    I think you are right, but the bigger question is why it isn’t working.

    Battery Charging - In Situ

    As I said, check your manual but with modern battery management systems you are often advised to charge this way so the car can monitor the charge status.

    Battery Charging - In Situ

    If you check your manual, you may well find that there are dedicated charging/jumpstart terminals under the bonnet which you can use without any need to disconnect the battery.

    Another start-stop question

    It is your decision of course, but if the battery is on the way out you might find yourself with a greater inconvenience than taking the car to be fixed now. While we are almost certainly correct in believing it to be a battery problem, I suppose it might be something else and, by accepting the...

    Battery Charging

    CTEK MXS 5.0 (use AGM mode) or CT5 Stop/start. If parked and left untouched it should be good for a couple of weeks, possibly longer. However, if you frequently unlock it without driving that wakes a number of high current draw systems that take time to shut down, so that can pull the battery...

    Another start-stop question

    I think the "ECO light staying yellow" is an alternative display on some models. If the console button is green (i.e system on) and the yellow strike through is appearing even after a long drive there is definitely something wrong, I would say. Most likely culprits are the main or auxilliary...

    E220 2019 starter battery low

    I believe a drive of that distance should be more than enough to fully charge the battery. However, if you are taking the information from the Mercedes me app then my experience is that this often reports a partially charged state when it would not be expected. I did complain about it, the...

    W213 driver assistance pack

    That is my understanding, but it might have changed so always worth checking.

    W213 driver assistance pack

    I think you may be getting confused between features of the driving assistance pack and active lane keeping assist, which is standard. This is perfectly understandable given the terminology MB uses. Essentially we are talking about the warning and intervention that occurs if the vehicle is...

    W213 driver assistance pack

    May I suggest that, before ruling it out completely, you try the system? I accept that some don't like it, but others (myself included) don't find it a problem.

    W213 driver assistance pack

    Interesting philosophical point, thank you. I think I would argue that automated driving systems are trying to emulate (desirable) human behaviour, but they are not there yet. I would also suggest that there is no reason why, in time, driver aid systems might not have better awareness than any...

    W213 driver assistance pack

    Always good to get a range of views, and you make a fair criticism of the way the adaptive cruise works in the scenario you describe. I suppose the system does not have the same level of situational awareness as you will as the driver, so will not always perform as well. So there is a...

    W213 driver assistance pack

    According to the manual it doesn't intervene if you "clearly actively steer, accelerate or brake" or are driving in a "sporty manner". I haven't been able to calibrate what this means in practice. But part of my point was that, whether or not you like or want the feature, it is not a factor in...
