I noticed you didn't fill the oil to the max mark on this service. I've always run my cars at the max mark, and would expect a service shop to fill it to max. I appreciate of course that anything over min is adequate.
You're one of the better guys, but even you handle parts like garbage. Just leave the plastic shield hanging by one bolt, take it out and let the part drop on the floor. Who gives a shit, it's not gonna just break in two this time, right? What the hell, man?
You made a mistake by assuming the car is working fine. You should have kept it for a week or so, driving it to work everyday. I’d even suggest putting it through a testing/obstacle course to stress the systems just to be sure it’s 100% (especially if it’s got plenty of gas). You can’t trust those foreign cars (remember what the Germans did in WWII). 🤡🤣😂
A few days after I purchased a new Mercedes, my wife and I drove to Las Vegas. Two hours into the driver over Highway 15, that coffee light came on. I later learned that the car was computer-monitoring my driving and had detected that my reaction time to braking, activating my turn signals, distance that I was following other cars, etc., had diminished and was simply telling me that I might want to "take a coffee break." The safety features on this car are truly awesome. My wife particularly like the blind spot warning and also braking the car when it detects that she is about to rear-end the car (or wall) in front of her. 🙂
I used to work at a car rental back home in New Orleans and I drove that particular car back to be washed and I was confused how the seat go back and when I had it in drive and it was coasting I opened the door and that emergency brakes came on my face almost hit the steering wheel never drove that car again and for me that's 6 ft tall the seat didn't go back much for me
might want to put fresh gloves on with that cream leather , never fails after my car has been serviced that i find oil stains in my car …… keep up the good work, you still get a thumbs up 👍
What happened to the good old days when you dropped the old oil out, refitted and tighted the drain plug, poured in some new oil and a filter, checked for level and leaks and away you went. I have no interest in any car that has more buttons on the steering wheel than the concord flight deck .
Honestly – one time Mrs. Cuss called me, said the "submarine light" was lit on the dashboard. She had mistaken the engine warning light – an engine drawing with a fan – for a submarine with a propeller. So of course I told her to submerge….
Why are these complainers watching? This is supposed to be teaching people how to do these things yourself…if you only take your car to the dealer for repairs then why r u watching this? If u won’t buy a car from someone who doesn’t take their car to the dealer then Y r u watching this? You apparently like to waste your money at dealers good for you…some don’t..and I have seen personally dealers screw over people by saying they need things done that don’t need to be..and the dealers do this in hopes u will spend the $$ cuz oh the dealer must know ALL! So so not true In fact I have seen my own car sit out in the parking lot for hours while I kept driving past in my second car cuz it was “”” getting a repair a dealer said I needed on my Honda” and I had even called to ask for update and was told it’s on the lift and almost done but I was parked next to it in the lot’ Then they tried to charge me $1,800 And if it wasn’t for my cell phone video recoding I would have prob paid that and not known the difference!
The one thing about working in a service/repair trade is the fact that you never stop learning. I know that I give you a lot of crap for being a damn fool but, you’re a competent mechanic! You’re still a damn fool though! 😂
lol the car checks your eyes if droopy or driving to long you are suggested to take a coffee break. if you older and your eyes droop it comes on all the time. You are able to remove this option in the software or settings some where. but user manual tooo thick to read and search it.
German cars don't know when to mind their own damn business, first winter here with my BMW 328i at 37° it yelled at me about black ice… it hadn't rained or snowed here in 2-3 months up until last week in which case I didn't drive it for 3-4 days, problem solved I don't need a light and ear piercing warning to know that.
Using the claw pliers on plastic oil filter housing is just unprofessional. That plastic cap took some damage for sure and will crack over time as it heats up and expands. What’s even more annoying is that he had the proper tool but was too lazy to go get it….
watching this about 1/2 way though after removing the filter then looking for the drain plug… i just started telling myself that i thought the manuals for these said it is best to vacuum out the oil not drain it via the plug. I swear i had seen some other mechanic vids that talk about it where they work on other european cars.
Back in 2016 I was looking for a wagon as a second car and to use to haul my dog around. I looked at a really nice Mercedes C wagon, two things scared me off. The lovely aroma of oil burning off of a manifold and a malfunctioning AC system. The car was so damn nice, I second guessed myself for a while. In the end I opted for a Volvo XC70, at least I have a lot of experience with them. This particular one was one of my all time favorite cars. I'm glad I passed on the Merc.
OK I hear everyone loud and clear about the gloves. I watched the cringe moment and I see what you're saying. Allow me to elaborate on what you see. I understand that the gloves are dirty. I had wiped them with a cloth towel before entering the very nice Mercedes. Yes, they appear dirty, and it is from staining, not oil all over the gloves. NO, I didn't leave petroleum smears all over the interior of the car. Please forgive me!
Had the same ‘Coffee’ (tired / inattentive driver) warning light on our 2018 Accord EXL 2.0T.
If only you could tell the customer to quit buying crap vehicles and just buy a Chevy.
Das auto goot!
Mercedes: "NEIN! You are driving inefficiently for das auto!"
Control, Alt and Delete.
a small icon to remind the driver that hes not paying attention, of which, he or she probably doesn't notice anyway.
its not the worst idea Germany has ever had…

In my old Chevy's I have to pull over every four hours to get gas!!!!

Pretty soon there be a check beer light in them fancy cars 😂

Dorff cars those.
You should have changed your dirty ass gloves before you got in the car.
Glad to see you give up on twisting a canister with pair of pliers and use a proper socket Ray!
Pliers ain’t wrenches.
Loving your vids…;-)

that light means either not enough coffee or too much coffee. got it.

"Rumor has it there is an engine in here … somewhere." 🤣

Duas auto is annoying! All these driver assist things make drivers dumber, by far.

So, if you're not paying attention, you might be tired and need coffee to perk you up.
Hence – Coffee Light

Very interesting !
A car the tells you that you need coffee, right on.
Just drink some coffee and it will go out
Forward facing drain plug sorry if I don't see the genius in that

That car is sweet!
They need to add a light to tell the passenger to give the driver a reach over. 😉
Give me a straight 6 with a car baretta anytime .
Man if only these people knew how to read an owners manual
So that's what happens when you exceed the service message. If I had to believe TopGear the car would have taken a cyanide pill and killed itself.
"Rumor has it there's an engine in here somewhere!", propaganda :(((

Stop dropping bits on the floor and buy a tripod dude
I guess itsa good thing when the car is smarter than the driver… ?¿?
Does coffee make the driver smarter?
Why I'd you use that pliers on such a clean car .losing faith in you.
A car that tells you to get a coffee. Coffee addicts must like this car.
Maybe it's just me but if I'm falling asleep behind the wheel a light on the dash isn't going to help me.
And don't drive so erotically 😉

Can you imagine trying that in your driveway on a Snowy Day in Canada? You'd be a frozen corpse by the time you get to the drain plug
