MPG screen? there's a screen that gives me "After Start" data including average MPG, miles, etc.. and a "After Reset" screen with the same info but i dont recall seeing a submenu in that screen.. but i'll double check.

I tried searching the forums for the mod but couldn't find it.. any more info on the mod?

thx

If the gallons left till empty, you need to have a little mod.

I rarely leave my car close to empty so I rarely use this menu.

But Ling, how sure are you the gallons left is accurate? My E55 has this but I don't think it's accurate. May be it is when there's more than 1/4 tank but how about close to empty?

I once drove my E till the warning light was on... changed my screen to show gallons left. When I did stop and go, the gallons shown would go up and down by ~0.3 gallon. It made me nervous when it ranged from 0.5-0.8 gallon If I drove a bit more, it could've been 0 gallon.... lol. Luckily I found a gas station.

I took my car to a local mb dealership last sat to get my A/C recharged and today, my chk engine light came on..

It seems pretty accurate to me. I've taken it down to about 0.3 gallons before and then pumped gas. The capacity in my car is 16.4 gallons so I got roughly 16.1 gallons of gas.

It does fluctuate when the angle of the car changes (uphill/downhill). It reads lower when I'm parked on my driveway with the front of the car higher than the rear. I wouldn't say it's dead on but pretty darn close.

Ok now I got a headlight that goes off and comes back on, it's the drivers side low beam headlight. Anyone else experience this and I thought when a bulb goes out it goes and doesn't do this. Well I'm going to take it in for the warranty and see if it's some electrical gremlins taking out the headlight.

Keep me posted. I have the same problem. There is TSB in this forum on the issue. I've taken mine in 3 0r 4 times and have had two new zenon bulbs installed under warranty. Other than that,no fix -- the lights still flicker, then go on and off about 3 months after the bulb has been replaced.

I'm glad I'm not the only one with this issue. I had my pass. light flickered on and off two months back, they installed a new bulb and everything seems ok so far.

Hey, thanks guys. I keep you guys posted.

After they replaced my sliding sunroof screen it still moves back like 3 inches when I accelerate. Going to get this looked at again and the headlight issue.

The sunroof thing is common to every c55 I have seen. My other friends have the same issues. Mine only goes back about 1.5" though.

A few notes. Last time I took it in for the seat heater replacement, they have a new ipod interface module which helped the sounds issues. My glove box is now rattling like a SOB after they "realigned it".
