Service Reset

I have looked at the DIY video here and found many more on YouTube for W206. However, none of them have worked on my car. Is there a trick to it that I am not aware of?

Are you having the "create a shortcut" issue? If so try again and follow what was recommended here: https://mbworld.org/forums/glc-class...ml#post8990140

I posted a reset procedure for my '19 W463A at https://mbworld.org/forums/g-class-w...tor-reset.html
Yours might be a bit different but mine might help get you into the menu where you need to go.

With the engine off a message flashes by saying something like "use back arrow at anytime to return here...". With engine on it does nothing.

Engine must be off. As for the back arrow at anytime to return here not sure what you mean but send us a screenshot of the message.

Hmmm, keep trying, you might had missed something or maybe you accidentally hit something while performing the steps (due to those annoying capacitive touch keys) I never seen this issue reported on the forums in regards to the workshop menu for NTG 7 MBUX 2.0 vehicles, which is the one indicated.

W205C43PFL I have been attempting this reset numerous times since December when I had the Dealer change my oil. It is safe to say at this point that these instructions are not universal.

Have you tried an OBD scanner to do the reset? I have a Launch Elite 2.0 MB that claims service reset capability, but I haven't yet tried it (not due for another 3 months).

I have not. I am not a DIYer so doesn't make sense for me to get one.

Why didn't the mechanic who did the oil change do the reset?
Even if not a DIY'er, and OBD scanner IMO is a handy tool to have, especially when the CEL illuminates and leaves you wondering about the severity of the cause.

I took it to the dealership for the oil change, but since I did not have them do "Service A" they would not reset. I drive 2-3k miles per year, so I follow a different maintenance schedule. I will be staring at this message a lot over the years unless I find a solution!

SUCCESS! For my car, the Display has to be in Service, it does not work with the Classic display on the Odometer screen as shown in the videos.

Thank you all for your help.

What was the dealer's charge for a basic oil change versus the deluxe A Service oil change?

Another $250 or so for:
Fluid level checks and corrections - I do this as needed
Tire inflation check and correction- I do my own based on ride, I am very picky about this. Shops usually pump them with 35 psi all around and I end up by correcting it
Brake component inspection- at 2k miles?, nah
Reset maintenance counter-you know the story

At first I was shocked that the dealer refused to reset the service counter, but realized they have to scan the barcodes on all the parts they use before XENTRY lets them perform a full service. This kind of gives me peace of mind but then again the mechanics can still dupe you. I paid $50 at jiffy lube for service A after supplying 10quarts of Kirkland oil (got a 4 pack of 5 quarts for $80). They supplied the filter and had worked on W206s before. Definitely cheaper than the $260 the dealer quoted me and overall a much more pleasant experience.

I just had service B done at the dealer and it ended up being $500 - $200 for parts $300 for labor. Without the mailer coupon I used, it would have been $560. I definitely felt extorted but realize it's the price of ownership and a lot of mom and pop shops aren't too familiar with the W206 yet. Also, MB has really locked down on its workshop ecosystem making it harder and harder for shops that don't want to pay MB for certification.

Definitely will do service A 3rd party again.

This interesting -- I did not know a dealer would do an oil change outside of an A service (unless it is an unscheduled oil change). But refusing to do the reset because you didn't pay him $250 for some trivial inspections is entirely unprofessional, and is clearly indicative of what you are paying for when charged $400 for the full A service.

I agree with your DIY on the inspections and fluid level checks. These should be within the capability of every car owner. While I DIY my complete A and B service checklist, I appreciate that not everyone has the time and facilities to do them.

I have an oil change due in about 10 weeks, and will followup on how the Launch OBD scanner works on the service reset.
