Good morning all,
Quick intro - have been dropping in as a guest here for many years to research various things and thought it was about time I joined as looking for some advice and guidance.
The S350 has been a delight to own (have had it since 2016 with very few problems apart from usual wear and tear). It has loads of extras, like the full driver assistance package (night vision, distronic, park assist, massage seats with dynamic support for cornering, Intelligent headlight control, driver fatigue recognition, active lane keeping, tyre pressure monitoring etc) factory sunroof, factory rear seat entertainment system, Comand NTG 3.5 with split screen, front passenger cordless headphones and remote)
Niggles - not many... I bought rear cordless headphones but they wont work until I pay main dealership £100+ to code them to the vehicle! (unbelievable, confirmed by my independent servicer)
Adblue system is recently throwing a code or two. I'll post elsewhere on this....
That's about it apart from usual wear and tear-related service items.
Been serviced regularly by Merc specialist independant who have been very good.
I have done intermediate oil / filter changes and adblue top-ups myself, as well as engine air-filters and cabin pollen filters.
