I have had my first MB for about 2 weeks now, and put 1,000 miles on it.........runs great...........VERY nice car. It has 35,000 miles on it. I just ordered the DVD service manual for the car, this week.........should get it sometime next week.

The car will be my everyday car, during the off-snow seasons.

I registered the car with MB, when I ordered the DVD. They had to do some searching, to see if all the recalls where done. I guess that they will contact me, if so.

What are the major problem areas with this car, if any? This would include engine, trans, suspension, etc. "Sleepwalker" gave some advice, but this seems to be recall related.........thanks sleepwalker.

Thanks.

 

henryk, i need the VIN or chassis number to find the "recall" you need.

i will tell you about the service measures, modifications, and things you might want.

thank you.
