servicing

Hi, I'm new to the Mercedes experience and have ordered an SLK 350 AMG Sport which is due to arrive in 4 week, when it comes to servicing do you recommend main dealer or independent MB Specialist? As I'm spending the high side of £50k on my baby I want to make sure it's well looked after...

I am looking for Mercedes servicing recommendations around the Northamptonshire area as I am not going to be ripped off by the main dealers. Has anyone used Under The Bonnet Ltd at Moulton park ?

mercedes 2006 220cdi what is the mileage between the A and B service, thanks for any help,:thumb:

I have a C200 CDI with an automatic gearbox that's done 65,000 miles, first registered in September 2011. It was last serviced in Dec 2013 and the vehicle details for my actual car pulled from MB's website say that it's due a "Small Service at 74,000 miles or December 2014. Assyst Plus on the...

Hi all Hope the enclosed service sheet is of interest to some of you! After lots of research this seems to be the simplest. The only query is the Auto Box Fluid change as MB seem confused. It would appear to be sensible and do a partial change at 50K mls. with a new filter and electronic...

Hi, Just bought my first Mercedes after a succession of BMW's and have to say it's a brilliant car, very happy after the first three months. However, yesterday the service message "Service A within 30 days" appeared, can anyone help me with the costs of such a service as I can find no...

Evening all, Wondering if you have any advice. For a few months now I've been battling with the CEL, throwing up code P0171 Powertrain - System too lean. A local mechanic friend thought it may be the MAS but I know from reading forums etc, it's most likely a split breather pipe, regularly...

Hi guys, Just joined today... Bought a cls 350 ... 70k on miles and says service F exceedes by 70 days ... Where shall i take the car?? Any budgetary garages in SE london anyone knows of?

Hi guys, Just joined this forum today. Bought a CLS 350, 07 reg last week. Car gives a message service F overdue by 70 days. Based in South east london (Greenwich) .. Can someone reccomend me where shall i take the car? Bit strecthed for buget.. So budgetary service will do for me. Any...

Evening All, I've just got hold of a nice one owner 280TE, and want to service it for a bit of piece of mind, and I wondered if the forum could confirm/deny a few questions please. First question is regarding oil choice. I know it's a huge subject, but the service record says Castrol GTX...

Hi guys. I have just bought a 59 a class 180 CDI, and I have a question about servicing. It has its annual service coming up in August time, and I have read some things about how Mercedes won't validate warranties / recalls etc unless you take it to an official Mercedes garage. I have also...

Morning all! My SLS is coming back from a trip abroad and Mercedes are going to check it over and fix any issues, including paintwork. As Mercedes must do the work (I'm not paying) independents are out. I'm based in central London so Stratford is the obvious choice, but reviews for them...

Work brings me to Sandown Park for the whole week and the car needs a service, is there anyone local to Esher folks would recommend? Thanks Paul

Hi, should the oil changed on a auto box??? Car is a w210 E200k and just turned 140k....

Can I ask someone explain servicing to me... I'm picking up my c250 tomorrow with a 59 plate with 40k on the clock. It was due a service and I doubled checked with the dealer which one is due.. He told me they pay for the big one which is due B? And the next due will be the small one A...

I have visited Terry at Wayne Gates Servicing a number of times now following a recommendation on here over a year ago. It's about time I write a review. (It's a bit long, but do read on!) Quite frankly. 10/10! :thumb: I have always been really happy with the service and level of...

Hi, I own a cls 63 amg 2006 plate and I was wondering about service intervals. It still has over 4000 miles to next service on the ASSYST but was serviced this time last year. I'm not sure whether to go off time or mileage as I know the modern mercedes' ASSYST claims a fixed mileage or time...

Newish to the forums, but a long-term Merc owner starting with W123, R107, W124, W202 and now on to a S204 I bought a year old last August. Anyway, I object to the servicing interval being time and not mileage based. It was obviously serviced in June last year before being put on sale and I...

Dropped my car off for its A service last night. Got a brand new E Class Coupe as a courtesy car. Very happy. After an hour got a call from the service manager who said it had gone early and they found the wipers not clearing the windows as well as they should (Iknew that already) and if I...

In the cars I've had over the years servicing has always been an oil change followed by a check up. The thing is, in my opinion 100% of my car mechanical failures in life have either been time related consumables or an issue that was invisible to servicing. Let's face it, I bought a full...
