2016 Mercedes E-class (W213)

[oleoleole]

Dear all, I finally bought a E250 AMG Line! Went for pre-purchase inspection at Beznline Auto, no major issues like oil leakage etc, jus the usual wear and tear issues like mount / arm bushing etc. The check costs me $80.

Have a complimentary svcing at Cnc left - will try to book it soon!

Thanks all gurus for the advice!

No no, benzline was the workshop where I did my pre purchase checks. Seem to be a popular WS for benz, saw 2 other w213 there doing servicing

So far OK! Although some jerking at low speeds, maybe due to 9 gear ratios.and some interior rattling noise which I read online seem to be common and unsolvable issue.. 

Tbh, coming from a 3yo BMW which has given me no major problem so far, I'm jus worried on the reliability of a older MB. Hopefully the world famous E-class doesn't disappoint me!

Jerking is not a good sign. 9 speeder should be smooth.... Better skip.

In that case, jerking no issues one. Normal. Enjoy!

Lol, thanks for yr advice bro! My 2 frens driving W213 says they faced this issue from Day 1 too, so I guess I'll try my luck. 

Stil thank u though!

Hi all, seeking advice 

1. Realised no gd space to put phone holder. Any suggestions? 

2. Wiper juddering like mad. Any recommendations for wiper replacement or can jus change the rubber? 

3. Any coding available to permanently turn on AC circulation / turn off Auto start-stop? 

4. Rear roller blind blocked by rear car cam. Is it because have to use super slim type? 

Thanks all

[inlinesix]

Add wiper washer fluid into wiper water tank.

Whenever it judder, spray water

Should be the 2 litre m254 engine with 204ps. The old one is 197ps

Boh ko leng leh.

I drive 6yrs plus leow. Seldom jerk lar. Smooth transmission so far lar.

Could be a sign of auto transmission oil not replaced

2) Can't do much about it. 

3) Coding can be done to deactivate the Eco Mode (auto stop/start) at Elebest for $50.

4) I am using the slimmer Blackvue for my rear cam and no issue with roller blind being blocked.

No jerking for mine as well for normal acceleration . Having said this, 9G-Tronic is overrated.

It's actually not so much of jerking. More of the gear shift not so smooth during low speed. The tuning and driving experience is vastly different from BMW hur hur...
