C180 should use C or S mode ?

My sentiments exactly with the 5 speeder. I feel the same way as you, but my car is the E250 CGI. I think it's not only the gear ratios that make the car so sluggish, but also how the engines are tuned. The 1.8T in the E250 only wakes up above 3,000rpm. Below that and the car is really sluggish. Trying to find a tuning solution to get the power for the low-end as we rarely hit above 3,000rpm. Detrimental to FC too - so far FC has been disappointing...

Try this overseas tuner

i've been averaging 12 to 13km per litre. Usually 680 to 710 between fill ups of up to 56 to 57 litres.

But i'm a high miler. guess its good that i'm light footed. :becky:

got my car for 3.5 mths and it's already clocked up close to 11000km.:shocked:

wow...bro you broke my record man...when i sold my previous ride (C200K) after 5 mths...my mileage was around 14,500Km...ave FC abt 9km/lit ...now my current ride (E250CGI) after 2 mths already 6,000Km liao...FC also around 9km/lit :tsk:...i mostly use C mode but now try to use S mode more often...:whistle:

Hi ppl, I am new to this forum. Just booked my C180CGI and I have a few queries:

1. Can the merc take 95 petrol? Or min must be 98?

2. I am given $4000 service credits...how long can that last me in servicing?

3. How much does MB charges for their servicing?

4. Service interval is 15k km right?

Thank you!

Yes 95 min.

Based on $400+ shld last ard 8-9 svcing depending on what are the charges

C&C 1st svcing ard $400+ according to forumer here

Yes recommended by C&C

I thought the CGI engine's turbo is a LPT which should spool at 1.8k rpm?

tuning options will be out soon i guess

Thought so too. But the driving experience proves otherwise...

Have you considered a piggyback ECU eg. Unichip? I can recommend you a good tuner Unichip Q + Dyno tune 1k nett only

Haha. but that's what our car is for man. It's meant to let us cruise around more:bounce:

Every journey in a merc feels so comfortable and short. Hence making every ride relaxed and easy.

C200 should drink more lah. pretty normal. For every tank i'll pick 1 day where i'll be in S mode and whack the engine more and do manual shifting. Just to let the car know that she's not a gutless pig:becky::becky:

I driving a C180 Kompressor and my feel is depend on road conditions.

I like C mode because I like the feel on comfort drive. Use in on normal road and curising on highway.

Will switch to S mode when I am in the rush or speeding because it pick up faster and you feel much more power.
