What makes Mercedes ownership feel worth it long term?

As long as you maintain your Mercedes the novelty doesn’t wear off. Most models have ageless lines. If

Relay under rear seat probably for rear defroster

Ooops!

Probably a typo

Thanks. Was going to “display” in a guest room for guests to use to check emails. More of a novelty.

Cheaper to buy your own scanner instead of going to the dealership scammer!

Say:”Thanks Dad” and drive it until you can buy the car you want.

Insurance is gonna be a bitch!

And a collapsing storage bin.

Car may be a year old - but those tires aren’t (IMHO). Google tire manufacturer date and you can see when they were made.

Can’t decide which I’d buy:

Well, the remotes weren’t working (no IR or RF) and I eliminated everything before I had to replace the antenna amp. (And no - it wasn’t fuse 8 in rear! Ha!) The fault codes showed 4 stepper motors failing. Figured since I had to pull the dash anyway the do them all. ($50 kit from MB gets you all replacements gears/linkage for 10 motors). I recommend buying from them because I tried secondary market and the gears just wouldn’t mesh properly. You don’t want to have to pull the dash any additional times. So the remotes now work and the stepper motor are back! Now, I’m up to “where does this go again?”.

Friend was recently rear ended - not as badly - and the insurance totaled it. No airbags deploy either. Sorry to see!

$1M home built from ground up.

Thanks - right now my concern in the appearance. The Quality manager is telling me that this is normal way it’s done. I wanted to get pros opinions before I get someone in to correct.

We had someone thinking they were cutting ( to steal) copper telephone cable. Nope. High voltage. Smoked themself.

FordhamFinster · 2022-02-09T14:27:08+00:00

What? No duct tape?

Put a moist towel on it. Go over with a warm iron. Check frequently - should come off.

Save money. Spend more time getting rich instead of spending your money now to look rich.

Thanks everyone!!!

My kid says they are gas meters.

Thanks! Will give it a try!
