DenishP4 Posted December 11, 2024 Share Posted December 11, 2024 I am seeking to purchase a 2019 E-Class convertible and have conducted my due diligence, including checks on hire purchase financing, any ongoing issues, and MOT history. These are my concerns; any advise would be appreciated. The vehicle is equipped with a single key fob. Is the replacement available just from the primary dealer? Is there an other location where I may get a key fob? Comprehensive service What is the estimated cost, considering it is overdue and has missed a servicing appointment? I prefer not to visit the Mercedes-Benz Main Dealer. The E-Class is equipped with 20" wheels and lacks locking wheel nuts. Does anybody know where I can get these, other from the Mercedes-Benz Main Dealer? Thank you, everyone. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BENZE220AMG Posted December 11, 2024 Share Posted December 11, 2024 Affirmative. Following the 2016 ISH, mb will not provide any cloning software until modifications are made. 2. It depends on what was required; some services need additional goods. Similar to air filters, fuel filters, and brake fluid, if you want to adhere to the MB ESS. 3. Halfords, etc. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

colinallcars Posted December 11, 2024 Share Posted December 11, 2024 1. Anticipate an expenditure exceeding £300. 2. The specific service that is absent is unclear. The Year 4 service is extensive, including Service B (which includes the cabin filter), brake fluid replacement, air filter replacement, and either the replacement of spark plugs (for petrol engines) or the fuel filter (for diesel engines). The Year 5 service includes Service A, along with an ATF and filter replacement (if applicable to automatic transmissions). Do you possess the current printout of the DSB detailing the progress made so far? You may get them via MB, Febi online, several other sources, or you may choose to forgo their installation entirely. Are the wheels authentic MB wheels or aftermarket replacements? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
johnmayerrr Posted December 11, 2024 Share Posted December 11, 2024 In my opinion, alloys are so prevalent today that unless the wheels are very unique, the need of adding locking nuts is questionable. I would appreciate other perspectives. Regarding a specialist, I believe Nuneaton is sufficiently close, hence Mercland is advisable.

DenishP4 Posted December 11, 2024 Author Share Posted December 11, 2024 Thank you for your feedback. The wheels are authentic Mercedes-Benz 20 inches. The service will be absent for two instances when I retrieve the vehicle, if the appropriate agreement is reached. The vehicle has only accumulated 43,000 miles, so I will seek a comprehensive service for my own piece of mind. Thank you, I will contact the local Mercedes-Benz dealer to enquire about the fees for the key fob and coding, and I will also get a quote for the complete service. I appreciate the support from this excellent community. Thank you. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
diablos_carcv5 Posted December 11, 2024 Share Posted December 11, 2024 Consider a maintenance service package if you plan to retain it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
