My Edition 1 was a lemon in my opinion. Trade assist completed last month for one built in late May. She's a different car and I haven't had any issues - I absolutely love it..

Could someone identify the issues during a test drive?

That is an incredible car, congrats, I'm envious. I just bought a 2016 911 GTS, but all along I just wanted that. I do plan to add a RS to my stable before they are phased out. Once porsche retires the NA engines in the GT series, theyll be too expensive!

I know someone selling a white RS if anyone's interested… California car, I think 6000 miles.

How cool is this on a new car?! I feel like a real F1 mechanic. My hands are all dirty and nasty. I just love tinkering with my car when I'm late to work!

Now that you checked the coolant level, did you see the operators manual?

I'm thinking I have a SEVERE engine problem which resulted in a head gasket failure and loss of coolant.

I also noticed my car has a percolator sound in the mornings which is a sign of head gasket failure.

There is a simple test kit that I can buy to confirm hydrocarbons in the cooling system. I'm afraid those crooks at Mercedes will try and void my warranty if I attempt to do anything to the car. So I'm just gonna take it in and video record everything.

If you modify your car in any way and have the problems I'm having, they will claim YOU caused it until the end of eternity. Thank goodness I'm not into mods.

Either way I think this new problem will vindicate my lemon claims.

MERCEDES SUCKS.

I never tuned my CLS for this reason but never kept it long enough for any warranty work. When I was having an issue with the transmission, they checked the ECU for any mods.

Are there technical service bulletin (or whatever their cold they're called) reference numbers that I can provide my local dealership to have these issues fixed?

TIA!
SHORT ANSWER YES. Take it to the dealer and both issues will be resolved.
