Just jumped from Audi to Mercedes and bought a C300d 2019.
Just starting to get used to all of the new technology, and find I have no Dipstick. So now I find out the electronic oil level doesn't work!
Tried hot and cold, ran it for half an hour, tried with engine running and engine off.
It's going back in tomorrow, but I find it almost unbelievable how difficult it is now just to check the oil!
I'll also have to go back to climbing under the car to do oil changes. I certainly can't find a Dipstick holder anywhere (my A7 had one) and I could vacuum pump the oil out.
Oil and filter was a 20 minute job.
But....
I'm loving the car, same performance as my old 3 litre, out of a 2 litre engine!
Not loving the auto braking though!
