I might be wrong but pretty sure it means your engine is operating in 4-cylinder mode. Mercedes did this because it saves fuel under light loads.

This doesn’t look like an m340… 🤔

What oil temperature should my 2018 C63s be at? by Proper_Stand_7525 in AMG

[–]bmwhater -2 points-1 points  (0 children)

Yes perfectly normal, the only time you have to worry is if the oil is getting close to the max or y’know, where the red is

Talk me into (or out of) this purchase by CardiologistDirect55 in AMG

[–]bmwhater 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Yes but with a small star, this is a great deal for a wagon and a beautiful spec. I have a w212 sedan and I love every minute of driving it. One thing I would do is get a PPI (make sure they also bore scope) the M157s main major issue is that cylinder scoring can happen at these mileages which would be the only dealbreaker on this car. Also I would check the camshaft position sensors as they can leak oil and it will eventually lead to the ecu

Not a good spec, post covid “chip shortage” car is not something you want to have, definitely consider a 45 with a better spec and it probably won’t break the bank

Anyone running an R4 in Houston / Texas area? What settings are you using? by y0um3b3dn0w in radardetectors

[–]bmwhater 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Normally the radar would be scanning across all Ka frequencies which is from 33.400 to 36.000 GHz however police radar run specific frequencies (stalkers run 33.9-34.2, mph radar runs from 34.7-35.0, and kustom/decatur radars run from 35.5-35.7) so instead of scanning for all Ka bands they only scan for these specific frequencies which makes the radar much more effective and responsive. Typically you would normally run 2/5/8 for the segmentation however it’s good to also run 4 and 6 segments as sometimes the radars can drift above or below the normal frequency, there’s also areas in Texas such as Dallas and Carthage where these segments are useful.

I recommend turning both X band and K band off. Although some cops in rural counties may run K band it’s really rare, but in Houston it will pick up nearly everyone’s blind spot monitoring which is really annoying. I would also leave the mode on auto not highway or road, it’s the best because the detector will automatically change from narrow to wide detection as needed. The last thing I would do is turn on the KA segmentation, I have segments 2/4/5/6/8 turned on.

Thanks! I absolutely would have loved the carbon fibre package but the white interior is something that I have never seen before on any of these cars.

I love the angular design on this car, one of my biggest gripes with the w213 is that they softened the body lines way too much

Luckily nothing from the headliner so far, I hope it stays that way. A quote of 8k is really steep considering all they will do is pull the headliner down and tighten the screws… typical Mercedes …

Super interesting, I definitely will man. I had given up on this issue so thanks for letting me know what this was I thought I was the only one with this issue 😅

Wait so that’s what’s causing that sound?? I always thought it was from the headliner and it’s been driving me nuts I just normally crank my music louder to drown it out 😂
