hybrid

My C300h finally arrived on Monday, all good to date but a few small niggles that I think are probably able to be resolved by software updates so would be glad to hear views of others. Changeover between dynamic and friction brake - as the car slows under dynamic brake the blending to friction...

Hi guys My wife's 16plate GLE 500e hybrid needs a tweek. The exhaust is rather understated. She's come from a V8 supercharged Jag estate and now it's a bit tame. I've located one by a German firm but it's 4k and has actuators etc. Just want a replacement exhaust with more flow...

Anyone looking for a set I have removed mine, Boot seats on turn into 7 seater car.. Black leather including fitting kit.. Make me an offer. Cost £900 new [email protected] Thanks George

Greetings to all first post here My nut is being well and truly done in by the boot of my otherwise excellent AMG Sport E 300 Blutec Hybrid...read on dear reader ...I cannot work out how the six (6) boot anchor points work and thus have reverted to trying to get a boot cargo net If anyone can...

Is it just me ? I'm fed up reading about stella mpg and minuscule co2 emissions on hybrid exec cars, which attract all the relevant benefits of low emission vehicles including full tax allowances for businesses that buy them and low benefit in kind for employees that run them. And yet "real...

Hello to everyone from me, a new member. We are on our 3rd MB now and to date have been very pleased with the cars we have had in the family, one of the original A Class (3 years ownership), a CLK (10 years ownership) and now an E300 Hybrid Estate (8 months ownership). They have all had their...

Hi guys, I'm searching for a new family car that can accommodate one toddler seat and two booster seats on the back row and is not an MPV. I've tried the combination in the back of a friend's E-class estate and it fits perfectly! Yay! I found a 13 reg E class 300 bluetec with 70000 miles, but...

Any experience of this power plant in regards of reliability of components? I read it's a wet clutch instead of a torque converter. Does the engine and motor ever work at the same time. ....ie for better acceleration? Any info much appreciated.

:fail So my immaculate and always MB serviced E330h needs a brand new gearbox! 40 months old, 85k miles. Never thrashed or abused. Apparently an internal failure of some kind has destroyed the gearbox. I'm getting a decent contribution by my dealer (MB Oxford) who have been good, but it...

After having a Leaf for £3600 for 2 years I was loath to pay £6k+ for another one and not many suitable cars were under £5k however the petrol / electric Ionic is on offer at £4700 for 2 years 16k miles and its like a Korean Prius with a great interior and fab spec (radar cruise and dab plus tft...

Hi everyone, I'm going to look at a 2015 e300 hybrid on Friday. To be honest I never even knew there was a e300 hybrid till seen one advertised. Has anyone got one or owned one and can tell me what they are like or what to look out for. I think a lot will depend on what the garage gives me...

So I've done close to 600 miles in my new E300 Hybryd and wanted to share a few thoughts about it and also ask a few questions. Is it just me or is the gear lever counter intuitive to use? I feel like pressing forward should be Drive and pulling backwards should be reverse, but it's the...

hi all i'm sure this has probably been asked before but i can't find anything using the search function. is it possible to remap the diesel engine part of the car and any recommendations for manchester area ? thanks

Hi, can anyone confirm the usual cost of a B1 service for this model ? Thank you

Hi guys. First post. Just last night picked up a 1 year old C300h AMG Line Estate Premium Plus in Polar White with 19" 788 AMG wheels on non run flats :thumb:. Will stick some pics up when I figure out how. Coming from a Z4 so a bit of a change - but a big saving on BIK tax and a lovely a motor...

Test drove a 2015 E300 hybrid today (estate) and absolutely loved it , what a cracking car !!! It needs a B service so I popped into my local main dealer (Beaconsfield) and one of the salesmen told me to avoid them as they are VERY problematic ! I would love to get the opinions of you guys ...

I was recently trying to find out whether a towbar can be retrofitted on the new C350e and which one should I pick but was frustrated to find out there's not much info out there about this, most people seem to be getting them from the factory and are happy with MB's mods (like some keyless...
