Hello all,
It's been a while so I'm like a newbie again. Previosuly I've had a 2000 A170Cdi, then a 2004 E320Cdi Estate (S211) and now after 6 years abroad I've just bought a 2017 E220d SE Premium Plus. Got a few questions for the hive mind about the new car.
1. The car is missing a jack and a wheel nut wrench. I'm assuming they should be there but the previous driver (car was leased) has taken them?
2. Where the folding plastic basket should be (under the boot floor on the right) there seems to be a large foam device instead... and it doesn't come out. Not a problem, I can put the basket on the left if I have to (when I get one!) but it's a bit odd. Is this right?
3. The tailgate release button in the drivers door... opens only? or should it also close as well?
4. Auto Stop/start isn't working, the logo appears in the display screen between the speedo and rev counter when I stop but it is amber and has a line through it. Research says various factors could be at issue here but likely to be a bad auxilliary battery?
5. Is there meant to be some form of hill hold? it is auto so perhaps not a thing?
6. The car came wirth a single key, presumably this is an MB dealer job to get the second key due to a need for coding it to the car? Any ideas on cost?
I've also decoded the VIN to see what the car is supposed to have and have a few questions about this as well
7. code 235 Active park assist - presumably this is just the reversing camera and the ultrasound sensors all over the car. I'm aware of posher systems with full top down view and remote parking, assume this isn't them
8. code 258 COLLIS.WARN. SYS. W/ ACTIVE BRAKE INTERV. FCW STOP - Not planning to try this out any time soon but having recently driven a specced up Skoda Octavia estate with a large plastic panel in the grill that seemed to have all sorts of sensors for keeping me in my lane and actively hammering on the brakes, I can't see a similar system on my car.... I think on the W213 the grille star is filled in with shiny plastic and that's the sensor? if so I'm wondering what the above option is and how it works?
9. code 3A1 ASSEMBLY, ACTUATORS (THREE WHEELS) - No clue what this, any thoughts?
10. code 502 3 YEARS OF MAP UPDATES FREE OF CHARGE - well I'm outside of the three years, any thoughts on how to get further map updates?
Finally, my research has lead me to glean the following about the Premium and Premium Plus specs, just checking to see what else is meant to be included in these spec levels?
Premium - Sunroof, memory front seats
Premium Plus - as above but with Burmester Sound System
Thanks in advance!
