Battery Benz W205, buy a new battery, what, how much, where, when ?

 

​​​​​​​

Hello, 

 

Have you changed you C-class main battery yet ? After how many years ? And how much did you pay it ?

 

Is it always cheaper somewhere else or prices are similar at the dealer ? Can we find the same good battery as original (or better?) if not buying at Benz ?

 

I am wondering because after few years I still didn't change this battery, do I need to worry ? Or did I understand well that thanks to the auxiliary battery the car will still start to allow me to drive somewhere to buy a new battery ?

 

Thank you for your knowledge !

Mercedes’ new C-Class coupe packs up to 385 horsepower and a 10-inch touchscreen

Just a few weeks after the updated C-Class sedan debuted at the 2018 Geneva Motor Show, the refreshed 2019 Mercedes-Benz C-Class coupe and convertible will make their public debuts at the 2018 New York Auto Show. Both body styles go on sale in the United States later this year.

Like the sedan, the 2019 C-Class coupe and convertible are refreshed versions of the existing models, rather than full redesigns. That’s immediately apparent from the exteriors, which don’t look all that different from the 2018 models. But there are some notable changes under the skin.

In New York, Mercedes will unveil the base C300 and midrange Mercedes-AMG C43 versions of both the coupe and convertible; expect range-topping Mercedes-AMG C63 versions to arrive at a later date. The C300 is aimed at the Audi A5 and BMW 430i, while the C43 takes on the Audi S5 and BMW 440i.

Engine choices carry over from the sedan, meaning the C300 gets a 2.0-liter turbocharged four-cylinder engine with 255 horsepower (an increase of 14 hp from 2018) and 273 pound-feet of torque, while the AMG C43 uses a 3.0-liter twin-turbocharged V6 that produces 385 hp (an increase of 23 hp) and 384 lb-ft. Both models come with nine-speed automatic transmissions, and a choice of rear-wheel drive or 4Matic all-wheel drive.

The 2019 C300 coupe will do 0 to 60 mph in 5.9 seconds, according to Mercedes, while the convertible requires 6.1 seconds (6.2 seconds with 4Matic). Mercedes says the hotter AMG C43 coupe will do the deed in 4.5 seconds, while the convertible takes 4.6 seconds. All versions are electronically limited to 130 mph.

On the tech front, the C-Class coupe and convertible get a standard 10.25-inch central display screen although, as in many lower-level Mercedes models, the screen looks cheaply tacked on top of the dashboard. An optional 12.3-inch digital instrument cluster is new for 2019 as well. Like the C-Class sedan, the coupe and convertible get an array of driver-assist features, including Distronic (maintains a set distance and speed relative to the car in front), Active Steering Assist (helps keep the car centered in its lane), autonomous emergency braking, and compatibility with vehicle-to-vehicle (V2V) communication systems.

The 2019 Mercedes-Benz C-Class coupe and convertible will hit U.S. showrooms by the end of this year. Pricing will be announced closer to the launch date.

A 1.5-litre four-cylinder mild-hybrid turbo-petrol engine will be the entry-level powertrain for the facelifted Mercedes-Benz C-Class when it goes on sale in Australia in August.

From launch, the C-Class Coupe and Cabrio will be available with three engines. The entry-level C 200 comes with a 1.5-litre four-cylinder engine and is available with or without 4MATIC all-wheel drive.

 

For UK as well. Isn’t it good if C&C brings the in 1.5L, less road tax, though saving only a few hundred bucks.

 

Why pay more for 2L with similar engine specs, albeit with a 48V EQ motor? And you eliminate the turbo lag.

Nowadays, max torque comes in so early. Where got turbo lag?

 

For bigger engine, max torque usually comes in 500RPM earlier.

This new 1.5l engine is slower than the old 2l unit despite having the same power output.

There is still no replacement for displacement.

I hate all these puny engine trying to replace the bigger 2L or 3L.

Compare C&C C200 price package with PI easier la. You realize PI don’t sell the C180. I dun remember seeing them.

 

How to compare different models. Specs and OMV etc all different. You need to compare the closest specs possible.

 

In any case the C&C should be at least 10% difference so it is about 20k but it comes with 6k service package plus a few extras worth about one grand etc ....which will last you at about 4 years if mileage is average of 20k.

 

I will just discount any service package from PI.

 

So difference is less than 15k for C200 model. C180 model probably less.

Ask yourself whether wanna take the risk or not. If scared then pay up, if not scared then go PI. Real risks of going with PI is potential hold ups if major defects are found, need recall or lemon car. If you think this won’t happen to you then go for it.

 

Out of 10 people maybe 3 will take the savings. Ask yourself if you are one of them.

End of story.

 

As of now, the difference with C&C C180 vs C200 sedan is 16k.... so only $11k difference.

 

E class and below adoption fee is $20k.... So its brainless to choose between AD vs PI.

 

The only reason I think of choosing PI if you are not gona drive the car for long. Maybe less than 3yrs, since there are less likely to be any issues than.

Maybe not just afew hundred bucks.... maybe VES band will be better!? (-$10,000?  )

[Khng8]

As of now,

C200 is VES neutral

C180 is VES +$10,000

Seriously, I'm still a little confused how this VES works for the purchase of cars

 

Does the VES have any bearing on the depreciation of the car?

Does it affect how much you can get back for your car after you scrapped it?

Should I choose a car with or w/o VES (if comparing all things equal) if I want better resale or scrap value?

[Khng8]

My take is that VES affect the paper value. So those with neutral VES will enjoy lower depreciation than those with positive VES.

But resale price is driven by demand or popularity of the model as well. The net effect may not be significant.

VES either increase increase or decrease ARF.

 

If AD includes rebate into selling price, it does not increase depreciation.

This also means that we are at the mercy of the ADs/PIs.

hello, battery needed soon, can someone tell me what will happen if I let it die ?
Can I start the car thanks to the capacitor ? (that replaces auxiliary battery on W205)

And can I change the battery myself or do we really need Benz dealer to reset something ?

​​​​​​​Thank you for your help.

Why would you want to let it die?

 

Just go and get it replaced now.

 

If you don't wanna do it at C&C, go to a Merc specialist workshop.

Hello,sorry but how to know exactly when it will die ? It is 4 years old and I am just thinking that the end is soon ? Any warning will appear before the end ?

 

So we cannot change it and need to go to a workshop ?

 

Thanks a lot.

Sometimes the battery just dies without warning.

 

The workshop can do a battery test to test the cca.

 

Preventive maintenance is key. Since it's already 4 years old, it's good time to change for peace of mind.
