Service definitions

[amg guy]

I know some of you have asked in the past what the different letters stand for when the car service comes due. A,B,C,F,G and so on. Right now my car is calling for a C service. This unfortunately means nothing to me. I dug further into the manual and found another menu. Currently it is calling for Service 1 Service 2 Service 9 Service 12 These are individual items that that car needs to have done, also defined as I understand it correctly C service. Anyone??? I just changed the air filters myself, the Cabin air filters and engine oil and oil filter. Guessing those are some of them but still unsure. This is also what I've found. Included in a C service is the following: Oil and filter change, check all other fluid levels and correct if required. Brake and Suspension inspection (and grease if required) Engine and drive train inspection Replace both fuel filters, check air filter. Function check including lights, horn, wiper etc. Test drive and written report. I'm thinking the last thing is the fuel filter needs to be done.

From my understanding C service is the same as B service with 1 extra hour checking your car which is waste of money.

B service will include air filter and cabin air filter.
If you feel your car really need some service, just flush the coolant, brake fluid, tranny flush, belts or even plugs instead of paying someone to "check" and charge you for $150.

Sometimes Toad, you kill me on your posts and then other times you surprise me and post very good info. So, thank you for the info in this post.

Toadster, the reason no one helped is because those who read their manuals, get tired of posting the information in them.

Your link is invalid for an AMG. That list of items will change for every engine+transmission combination. Interestingly, it can also be changed mid stream by a software update. Used to be the 722.9 tranny was a single change at 40k, now it is every 40k.

If you are going to do the service yourself, or use an Indy, you need to read your maintenance manual and keep track yourself. Use the FSS simply as a reminder.

Not correct. Our FSS+ changes up our service needs depending on how the car is driven. All the A.B,C, etc defines is the amount of time the service will take. You need to go into FSS+ (dash showing OAT, key to position one 33 quick taps of odor reset, fourth page in after volts, dynomode, VIN/oil quantity) and then read off the services and service +'s needed.

CharlyE500's advice is bad, especially considering the SBC Pump, when the car calls for a brake fluid change do it, don't do it when you feel like it

My advice is bad ??? what do u know about W211 ???? NOTHING AT ALL !
If you do the service according to that FSS then you really have no idea about Mercedes. Its common sense to flush your brake fluid every 2 years or 40K miles even the stupid FSS not mentioned. Plus, when you do the C or D service, the dealer WON'T change any fluid for you. They basically just "Verify or Check" the level. For who follow those C or D service are people really have no idea about their car like YOU.
BTW, if you go to Dealer to do brake flush, they know how to do it with SBC. oh when you say A B C etc define the amount of time the service need ??? C means 3 hours, D means 4 hours and do u really know what they do ??? 4 hours doing what ??? oil filter changer then what ?? CHECK CHECK and CHECK

I'm willing to bet that I know MUCH more about these cars than you

Keep thinking you have all the answers, but while you're doing that, shut up and learn

You need to go. Maybe get your meds adjusted?

what's funny about the "Gearing" thread is that you didn't know enough about the car to understand my post.

You're on the same level as Jangy....

[CharlyE500]

E55 Top Speed


"where people are getting their panties in a knot is not understanding that with the symmetrical setting and a 200mph speedo will actually be going 160 and reading 200mph and yes I've seen them improperly coded. They will read correct to 80mph and then the reading get's progressively greater in error"

READ THE REST OF THE THREAD ! YOU were WRONG

No i wasn't

[CharlyE500]

And if you must know, gearing has nothing to do with it. If you have the stock tires and rims should not be so big different in reading.

Thank you Ali for a real and factual answer from experience
It was ridiculous anyway the notion that at 200mph it's actually 165mph. If that were true then Mercedes-Benz needs some help making their clusters and sensors

I can't imagine what 342km/h must be like Jesus Christ the world must be a blur

Yes you were wrong. You kept saying 200MPH in the odometer but real speed is only 160 which is WRONG. The different is very minor.

You still don't understand what was posted, that's not surprising, Jangy didn't either

I am not surprised that someone has no idea about E55 like you or W211.

So are you advising that if FSS doesnt tell you changing the brake fluid so don't do it even 4 years 60K miles ??? My FSS never told me to change the brake fluid and coolant, I change them because its common sense to change them every 2 or even 3 years.

I am not saying you don't own one, I am saying you just Don't know much about them. I have owned 2 W211 since 2007. And still have my 06 E55 for 3 years+
