[Guest blackknight]

one more from bro vincemerc:

Guys,

My service credits when i sell my C and C car, will still belong to me when i walk in stating my car plate number or IC number?

When i sell my car, will the service credits disappear?

if will, means i now have to go to the shop and buy maybe model cars and sunglass and washing equipment?

blur leh

or can i use it for tire rotation at C and C with my PI car but using my old service credits as im retaining my car plate number...

bru got yr new E Cabro? Please advise us the following questions :-

1) How long did you collect yr new car?30 mins

2) For e class cgi, why u buy from PI & not from C&C?Boils down to the sales person service attitude.

3) did u notice audi drl so bright as compared to merc??could be angle problem, but now i like merc! audi drl is at headlight same level thus brighter base on angle brighter , reality probably bigger bulbs and level

4) which one is nicer? Hockey style or straight style?Hockey more fierce. straight more style

5) W212 which white nicer? Artic white, diamond white, calcite white.Mine is Diamond white. loving it! Diamond white is metallic paint with shiny sparks if u look deep. calcite white is flat whit non metallic coulour, artic white only in US mostly look like merc cabs super white.

6) Which insurance you recommend for W212l?AXA insurance cheapest. go for the most excess 900. Base on cabro about 3.3K for no NCD. u do the math depending on your NCD.

7) Black Artico Man Made Leather vs Leather option, which did u go for? & why?actualy all is man made leather artico, just a difference between proliferated with holes if your ride can have cooling function. if not no holes is heated seats. C and C all is proliferated with cooling and heating function. Designo is expensive but not nice is smooth leather sure creased easily

8) Tyre rotation during 1st servicing is it necessary?neccessary per 5000KM.

9) Pls share the package you have got for your new ride. PM me for this. nothing much la, just solar film and ride..

10) did ask yr PI about their trade secret?Yes. OMV X 2.7 + COE px = rough basic cost. plsu they earn from your loan amt from bank. no loan higher car price.

11) e cabrio soft top will it discolour and ways to maintain it? what is heated seats means!!this one like what bro desmondtoo say have to wait and see, but so far i see so many soft top not yet discolour probably due to no use shampoo on it, just natural rain solves its. Heated seats is make your butt hot in DEC when you drive especially for kids butt if u on the aircon and yu still want them feel warmth.

12) do you have Service credits?C and C gives 4K service credits. PI no. So do your maths on final px.

13) What mileage u see when u first collect your car?50km

14) Which tires are good for comfort and silence under staggered combo?Bros here say GR80 i think.. mostly all come with CSC3. so sounds good until first servicing when dont know what they do.. so dont anyhow service.

15) what's your new cgi fuel consumption: still new leh, keep on engine stationary play roof waste fuel, so no comment. desmondtoo says about 8.5km per litre.

16) At slow speed turbo charged cars jerky in c mode? What about others mode?for e250 not jerky, c180 kinda jerky as torque kick in at 1400rpm. C180 cgi best in sport mode. e250 cab again no commnet, bro desmondtoo pls advise.

17) What will be your next car after W212?For me ists from e250 cab to probably e250 saloon or if there is a nice S class 7 years down the road...?

18) Share your new CGI fuel consumption. as above.

19) why u buy E200 or e250 from PI? and which PI?e250 cgi as i dont want to be like last time buy c180 and felt like should buy c200. so one shot 250. which PI? not site sponsor. PM me.

20) Is e200 cgi really more fuel efficient than e250cgi?according to specs. e200 drinks more then e250. same weight need step more to move the car. so get the e250.

21) For a black c class, how often you guys wash? How often polish? Polish or wax betterBlack merc never goes out of shine, long long wash at petrol kiosk will still be shiny. so dont care! dont need polish! double confirm will always shiny!

22) What tire pressure u pump for your stock tires of w212?Desmond too pls advise for e cab how much?

23) tire rotation must do at 5000km?YES

24) hard & soft top, when raining is there any difference? How is the noise level?disint get to try the rain yet, but i think sift top will feel great!

25) Why u choose Cabro over sedan & coupe?coming for c180 cgi, my wife say no point get the saloon for the extra space yet as not neccessary and for coupe hard to get in and out as the top cant open so Cabrio is best if tp can open to throw adults and kids inside and still get the sporty feel.

26) why u choose Mercs & not other brand?The best of nothing. Plus grew up in the 80s where merc is still known for well known ah pek 1st class cars so kinda posisoned since then.

27) is yr new car steering size too big???? didint know this question...? its AMG 3 spoke steering! works fantastic! nappa feel power!

28) what's yr interior color & design? Diamond white exterior + Flamenco red interior

Hope to get yr reply by today!! Kum sia

2. Can cabrio go petrol kisk wash ? if can what must we tell them incase they spray shampoo and super jet on the canopy and windows,,,?

3. Any place to recommend to wash cabrio?

[Guest blackmercs]

Other Bros, pls advise on the following:

1. Intellegent light system = inoperative for RHD means? should all our rides come with this intellegent light system or?

No idea, didn't bother me as long as headlights works is fine with me.

2. Can cabrio go petrol kisk wash ? if can what must we tell them incase they spray shampoo and super jet on the canopy and windows,,,?

I don't go to petrol kisok, just breathe normally when they starts washing yr car.

3. Any place to recommend to wash cabrio?

I can do it for u once a week, if u hv to come to my place, charges $20. Only washing!!

4. when soft top is open, and want to on fan, where is the fan mode...? i on still fell like aircon leh...

Fan on when top down? Is located at the central panel with a propeller icon.

5. if soft top open, can on air con? will damage the air con system?

No it's won't damage, is meant to be this way.

6. someone mentioned SMARTTOP? how much and where to get it? how to install? pros and cons?

Look for Ecabrio guru, shout out Guru Guru Guru he will appear.

7. e cabrio = should pump which brand and grade of petrol?

I pump in Esso 95 only.

8. birdshit on soft top, what is the best way to clean it when still wet and how when its dried up?

When wet use yr tongue? Dried or wet use yr baby's "baby wipes" can liao. If dried there will be a stain mark for good. So never park under lamp post or trees. Don't attempt to apply any condirion on yr soft top, is useless. Only apply shampoo with water.
