I got a 2019 GLE Mercedes several months ago and looking online I can see that Mercedes intends to continuously update the mbux software, however every time I checked it simply states no update available, but doesn't seem to even check if anything is available.
AFAIK, Mercedes uses a mobile...

I noticed these spots on the day I picked it up from the dealer. Is this normal for a brand new car? It turns into a white powder as soon as I touch them and there doesn't seem to be any pitting under the spots. The dealer says it's nothing to be concerned about and can be easily cleaned.
Thanks.
Good Day Everyone,

Good Day Everyone,
I have recently acquired a 2007 Mercedes CLK500 Avantgarde.
It did not come with the Navigation DVD. Is there any alternative option to get the OEM GPS working without spending R5000 at Mercedes for a DVD that cost about R10 to make?
Thanks guys!
Good Day Everyone,
Can someone possibly please give me an indication of prices in JHB for getting an alloy wheel repaired. I bent two of mine as a result of a lovely nighttime drive through a Pothole on the N12 heading from Jet Park to Sandton. And now it feels as though I am driving a...
I know the likely response will be to phone a Mercedes dealer but I have found in the past that trying to get a good estimate from a motor dealer for a service is usually full of “and maybe you’ll need’ let alone the phone calls during the day to say they have discovered something else needed...
Good Day Everyone,
I currently have a W203 2004 Mercedes C180k with 110,000km on the clock and considering the age, the old girl has given me trouble free motoring since I bought her. Have only paid for a few small "irritations" and routine services.
I am considering going for something...
