Problem 1.
I took our 08 R320 in to the dealer yesterday because the fuel gauge had stuck on full for two fill-ups and then unstuck. when it reached 1/2 tank we filled it and it took 14+ gallons. To fix the problem they loaded new software into the instrument panel.

Problem 2.
Transmision has been making clunky shift from first to second when in Sports Mode. To fix these they found an update for the transmission and loaded it. This seems to have fixed that problem.

Back to problem 1. Going home in was in a 40 MPH zone and looked down to see what i was doing as it is a speed trap area. To my great suprise i was doing 80. Then i realized they had changed everything kilometers. Reset everything to English today and guess what!! The dam thing is still reading kilometer. Gues i wll take it back.

Do you have the same transmission as an R350?

Sorry to hear about the poor quality of work!!! They better not be charging you for this.

I don't know if the trannys are the same but i would think so. Overall the transmission seems to shift smoother.
The car is still under warranty and it is a CPO.
