Why does this forum still exist
I'll list all I have learned and have fixed on my W205. I hope by the end of this, you will realize the c to even e classes after 2015 have been poorly executed. And that said my hope is you will dump the Mercedes brand altogether for its quality problems.
. rattles from driver door panel. Very common. originate from seat switches. Don't need to tak door panel off. Just stuff felt/qtip cotton inside hollow switch bits
. wind noise. Acoustic windows are a wash. Jusy stuff foam between the felt and rubber trim around the window lining
. Command rattles. Torx 20 screw needed .pry off dash speaker grate. Loosen the 2 torx screws to remove command unit. Felt the frak out of it and stuff the unit back in
. headliner rattles. Stuff more felt and foam everywhere you hear it. Rinse, repeat

Finally the elephant in the room. hard shifts. A lot of what CFG said is for fanfare and fantasy so take him/her a with grain of salt and move on..headkraut reference etc. you will only be able to alleviate but not diminish rough shifts in only one of twoways. Attach a Dinan, or Sprintbooster to up rev and shift points. Otherise don't buy a 7 or 9 cog C or e class 4 cylinder. A FWD lexus will do more for you.

That being said and in no means am I attempting to compare junk size, but I came from Audi after repeated horrible service experiences in two states where problems were denied, ignored or otherwise claimed resolved but never touched. That's multiple dealers in two states with Audi. Never again.
No car is perfect, but it's what happens and how you're treated when there's a problem that makes the marked difference in nameplates.
Just my .02c.

Sorry, I probably should have included other family Mercedes units which bring the total to around 8, in 30 or so years. And I had forgotten we actually have had 3, just recently traded for a glc.

MBWorld Fanatic!
Mercedes is known all over the world as a status symbol..you could take a Honda Accord and dress it up with Mercedes sheet metal and people would buy it because it has the 3 pointed star..it has nothing to do with the build quality or the dependability of the olden days anymore

You really are funny. Lost in translation I think. It is an ad hominem to attack one's age, nor could you possibly divine others' states of mind.
If you choose not to believe it, that's fine. The tranny can be fixed, and MB supplies a loaner. QED.
Anyhow, I hear lingonberries are in season.

. Burmester vibes on high fq and over Bluetooth.. Need to pull out door panel unfortunately. Pop speaker and twitter off. stuff foam liberally

I do not enjoy the abrupt sweetness of lingonberry in conjunction with seasoned meats.No one speaks Latin except within legalese. How are you branding yourself exactly. As someone who knows more than anyone else ?

So heres what you do. advertise said patch version, detail 2 day procedure, and the dealership you visited.

More ad hominem attacks.
Anyway, I prefer sesquipedalian.
