I am batting 1.000 (2/2) on coils replacement. lol.

Unless I missed it but does the new coil have a new part number? It better be right?

I am pretty sure they just made it up to refuse service on an intermittent CEL issue. Second time they admitted it was a bad coil and replaced it. Car drives fine now. Part #177-906-02-06 in case anyone was wondering.

177-906-02-06 that's the part # shown

Online MB parts stores say ...

• Replaces:177-906-03-00, 177-906-05-00, 177-906-42-02, 177-906-95-00

So, it does look like that is the latest.

W205C43PFL

Thank you both.

if it’s fuel pump, i just saw this today …

https://www.autoevolution.com/news/m...ed-217340.html

production dates range from June 1, 2021 to November 30, 2022

The last diagnosis from my SA was a new fuel pump. Unfortunately, fuel pump requires a new seal / gasket. Which I’m told, is on back order. So, my wagon sits and waits out in the back lot collecting crap from the elements. I’m a lucky I’ve had a loaner, but this has become a very protracted fix. It’s sad that I can’t enjoy the car while weather is nice. Disappointing.

Depending on how long it takes I think you could get them to reimburse you a month of payment, hopefully it doesn't take a month though.

Definitely a lot of models: https://wwwapps.tc.gc.ca/Saf-Sec-Sur...rchResult&pg=0

Interesting that only 6 E63S vehicles were affected! I wonder why since production wasn't stopped.

W205C43PFL

Hmmm I didn't even notice that, certainly interesting. I must had missed it, where did you find that?

There's a .PDF link at the bottom of that news article, I'll link it here: https://www.autoevolution.com/pdf/ne...ted-217340.pdf

Thanks, I mean affected Canadian vehicles, but good data point nonetheless.

LMinn

I'd like to know that too. I wonder if Mercedes or Transport Canada will release those #'s.

Side note, I ran my VIN on the Mercedes recall website, says not affected, in case anyone (in Canada) is curious to check their own.

W205C43PFL

Good idea thanks, MBUSA also has the same site as well. Another alternative source would be https://www.carfax.ca/recall-check for Canada as well and I believe USA also have one from carfax.

I only have 1,400 km on my 2023 and sometimes the idle is so lumpy and rough I thought it was just some stupid 4cyl thing then remembered this thread. When I forget to turn start/stop off, when it starts again by itself when still stopped at a light or something or when I remember to hit the stop/start off button when it starts itself again before I go it is really lumpy until I go - occasionally it smooths out if I sit long enough. Is this the same thing? Should I bug my dealer already? I'm only 100km away from my first Dragy! Egads. LOL.

taphil

Same on mine. Dunno what it is. I feel like it's the dynamic engine mounts, as though they take a few seconds to adjust when coming to a stop to smooth out the engine vibration in idle.

The auto start/stop is definitely rougher than the 3L V6 in my GLC.

LMinn

I get that slight "lumpy" idle feeling sometimes too, but I don't think it's anything significant like others' complaints about rough idle. It is noticeable when it occurs but not dramatic like I imagine these real complaints are. Then again I'm being purely subjective in my judgment so who knows.

I've not experienced any of this with my 2021. It has 10,000 miles and has always idled smoothly. I always turn off the start/stop function so I don't know if that occurs with mine.

I.T. Guy

I only notice it with stop start until I remember to turn it off. I'll eventually get used to turning it off as part of getting in the car. What a useless "feature". I bet our engines just LOVE starting with zero oil pressure over and over and over and over

Sunbeltgolfer11

I suppose having the function satisfies someone or some silly requirement. My thought is that it is an unnecessary burden on the starter. For those that daily drive in city traffic that starter has to be used repeatedly. Seems that there would be ten times the use, and that would surely add up over time.

My other concern is that it will stop and not start back up again Probably a small chance, but with my luck the odds go up exponentially.

This has become a rather tedious and quite protracted issue. Going on week # 4 waiting on back ordered parts for my wagon. A 2021 with 5300 miles and they can’t get a part ?? They sure don’t have any problem pumping new ones out for huge mark ups!! I tried to see what they would give me for the wagon, as I found a Cadillac Blackwing, that wasn’t marked up. But, the MB dealership, where my car has been sitting for 30 days, never called me back. Really crappy service on both ends of the court. Can’t get my car back, nor can I get a number on my wagon to trade out of it. Even if I took a haircut, which I’m sure I would. Long story short, Caddy got sniped up immediately. So, I texted sales and said forget trying to get a number on the wagon, it seemed to be like an act of Congress for them and they would have only added insult to missing out on the Caddy. Two calls to MB USA, per the service manager’s suggestion and have never heard a word back either. I think my next car will not be a MB.
