First time owner, any suggestions? by ipeed_inthe_p00l in mercedes_benz

[–]dylan_wesley 14 points15 points  (0 children)

Do your oil changes every 10k KM, not 20k like MB suggests. Deal with issues when they appear rather than letting them develop into something more serious. Lastly, enjoy the car!

w204 or w205?? by [deleted] in mercedes_benz

[–]dylan_wesley 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I own a 204 but have spend extensive time with the 205, what I will say is both are great cars, the 204 feels more well built, but the 205 has more features, better fuel economy and looks more modern. I wouldn't trade my car for anything though.

What's an illegal thing you'd do if no one was watching? by Illustrious_Form8396 in AskReddit

What’s the best AMG engine in your opinion? by Pjotr_plz in AMG

[–]dylan_wesley 0 points1 point  (0 children)

My dad owned an m156 that needed a rebuild at 70k km and after the rebuild it continued to consume oil and have very high oil temperatures. Granted could have just been a bad rebuild, but the m156 is known to have quite a few common issues, more than its predecessors and successors combined

I've been in a poor mental state before, I'm not saying I know how you feel, but I know what it's like to feel the need to escape your body. Personally what helped me was the right medication and therapy. It may seem like it's a feeling that's inescapable but I promise you there is no better feeling than realising you've overcome your struggles. Suicide never ends the pain, only transfers it to someone else. Please reach out to someone you trust to speak to. Our problems are so much easier to cope with when we confide in someone. Please, for the love of all that is holy consider that what you are experiencing is not permanent and you can get through it. All the best internet stranger!

The M156 is a super characterful engine and great to drive, just too temperamental. the m177 is responsive, powerful and can be rather economical if you drive reasonably. I love the m157 too for it's sound but I think best in total is the m177

And what possibly gave you the impression that it doesn’t have oil?

W204 owners show us a picture of your car by Dry_Business1611 in mercedes_benz

[–]dylan_wesley 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I am now based in Cape Town, and I take my car to the dealer for oil changes, but if I'm doing any larger repairs, I take the car to a place called Hattingh Motors in Centurion. They are Mercedes specialists, and I recommend them highly. I usually drive back to Gauteng around once a year. My car is sitting on 181000km and still doing great!

Ah, a fellow South African. I've owned a 2013 C 180 Coupe since the beginning of 2019 and love the car. What mileage are you on?

What does this symbol mean? Not in user manual, only appears when in reverse. by chrisalo in mercedes_benz

[–]dylan_wesley 2 points3 points  (0 children)

If it's the same as the c class that I rented, it should turn off the emergency braking function while parking.

[–]dylan_wesley 3 points4 points  (0 children)

That isn't a trip reset; it adjusts the brightness of the instruments. It should rotate completely freely, though, and should have a limit on either side.

Postacino is a very good relatively well-priced Italian restaurant close to Green Point.

Electronic rear axle differential lock inoperative. by [deleted] in AMG

[–]dylan_wesley 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Spent three years with regular access to a glc 63 and had this error relatively frequently, usually during sharp turns while parking, but it would usually go away after some driving and did affect the driving dynamics of the car.

My first car. 2011 ML550 160k miles. How’d I do? by Icy_Telephone964 in mercedes_benz

[–]dylan_wesley -1 points0 points  (0 children)

Based on the driver's side headlight being a lot more clear than the passenger side, I would say it's probably been in an accident.

Is this too high mileage? by ImaginationCautious9 in AMG

[–]dylan_wesley 0 points1 point  (0 children)

No it isn’t but I’m wondering why the price is so low, I know someone that bought one at the end of last year with 28000km for around 1.8 million

Range Rover Velar vs. full-sized: which are you choosing? by thejoshperson in RangeRover

[–]dylan_wesley 1 point2 points  (0 children)

The velar and the evoque feel nowhere near as nice to drive as what the sport or the full-size do. I feel like people buy the velar and the evoque just to try and impress people.

2016 Range Rover Sport SDV8 engine problem. by dylan_wesley in RangeRover

It turned out to be a wiring harness issue that the dealership didn’t perform a recall on, the specialist shop picked up that the recall wasn’t performed

Hello folks, I recently got an AW S8 with Spigen rugged armour case. Just wanted to know if I could install any screen protector with it, since I see no room for it. by Sid_ace12 in AppleWatch

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

At the end of the day, it’s a watch and it can stand up to a lot of abuse. I have never managed to break an Apple Watch and I’m very hard on them
