    This video features the C43 AMG which is one of the AMG performance versions of the Mercedes C Class. My car is the 2019 C43 AMG Saloon or the C43 AMG Sedan for those across the pond:)
    The C43 gives you that great AMG sound from the AMG performance and also the luxury of a Mercedes Benz
    This is the W205 Class. The 2019 C43 AMG
    If you like this car also check out some of the other great Mercedes AMG models:
    A35 AMG
    CLA45 AMG
    C63 AMG
    E63S AMG
    Make sure to spec the AMG performance exhaust!

    For me acoustic lock is actually good as it only makes the slight beep noise if all doors/boot of your car is completely closed.
    For example if a door is left just slightly ajar then the acoustic lock won't sound but you will hear the doors lock.
    It's like an indicator for if your car is completely secure when you lock it.

    That run flat tyre issue only applies for AWD cars. Common on the C and GLC. Due to the geometry not being correct from merc. If you want to see it, put a gopro on the wheel arch looking at the wheel on full lock. You'll see it skip. Intrigued to see how the MPS tyres reduce it.
    Great video man. Really like the tip on double clicking the lock. That's a must know for any new merc these days!!

      Hi, I'm new to the world of cars and recently acquired my first Mercedes AMG, equipped with Michelin Pilot Sport 4S 21-inch tires. I've noticed it makes a noise similar to what's shown in this video when turning at low speeds with the wheel fully locked. I've received various explanations - some say it's due to the low profile of the tires, others mention the Ackerman effect. When I consulted Mercedes service, they informed me it's normal. I'm also located in New York City, where it's currently winter with temperatures averaging 20-40 degrees Fahrenheit. I'm not sure if the cold weather is affecting the tires or if these tires are specifically designed for summer use. I'm uncertain about what steps I could take to resolve this issue

    great video! Missing: adjust passenger side wing mirror dip angle for reverse, which helps seeing your passenger side rear wheel during parking to avoid scratches.
    Also: there are dash cams available that are built into the lower plastic cover under the rearview mirror - available in the same plastic colours as the original cover, though surface looks a bit cheaper. Just pop out that plastic cover, connect the cable on the dashcam to the rain sensor plug and push the new cover (that has the camera built in) in. There's a TF card slot on the side and 2 small buttons on the bottom to turn on/off or take a quick photo. It also has a connector for a rear camera - if you have that, run the wire along the headliner, but pay attention to not get in the way of the curtain airbags with the cable. If you're driving an estate/wagon and want the rear camera on the hatch then it gets a bit tricky to pull that through the rubber hose connecting the body to the hatch, but it's doable (use some grease for the cable to slide through with less resistance).

      @@ABAUTOAMG my pleasure. I've made numerous small and mostly invisible changes to my E63S Estate/Wagon and the less obvious the mod the better. As it's not a cheap car I did want the additional benefit of a dashcam, yet did not want it to be obvious. So being able to find one that is part of a replacement plastic cover under the rearview mirror was perfect. Getting the model that plugs into the rain sensor was genius as there's no cable work to be done - unless you add the rear camera as well. The dashcam sets a recording to "do-not-overwrite" when a crash is detected (accelerometer).
      Downside: this one only records while the ignition is on, so if someone dings your car while parked at Tesco, you don't have that recorded. Some other cameras do. While the car is parked a snapshot is taken every minute or so except if the accelerometer detects an impact in which case it records and saves permanently. Some cameras also have a GPS logger which also uses the GPS time stamp. There are now also 360 degree 3rd party camera sets with 4 cameras.

    I have a 2020 C300 with the AMG and night package....great car. I have the run flats, and while not a fan in the beginning, the fact that I had two tire problems and was still able to drive the car makes them a must for me now. I get difference in performance and comfort, but I also get the safety issue by not changing a tire by the side of a road. All in all your videos are really informative. Next time I am going to watch your tips on my phone while sitting in my car so I can immediately put them to use.

    Bought a 2013 c300 sport a month ago. I ask if they could pick me up so I could test drive before I sign to buy (and not be stuck getting the car I drove there home), they arrived and car look gorgeous. I was slightly worried I would have issues adjusting to the 4matic (all wheel drive), but honestly, it just felt.. good. Hell it even smelled good haha. After 2 weeks of owning, it was time for Sadie to get a wash. That’s when I noticed a few things. The dealership does such a good washing/waxing it’s hard to see it until you wash, but the front driver-side bumper has slight damage to it (mainly underneath), like someone tried wheel parking a concrete parking block, the hood has these tiny paint chips and small... I don’t even know what they are honestly. Like acid misted very slightly and took the color away in tiny circles, rims have tiny knicks aswell 😭. I personally don’t care about others seeing this, because you can’t unless your like a foot away, but I know its there. And i think about it everytime I see the car now lmao. Gonna suck paying to fix all that...
    Since purchasing, put 2.3k miles on it, and over-all opinion: Buy one. 100%. No older than 2012. If you do buy older, buy pre 2004. 2006-2011 ALOT of issues. 2012-2014 they tried to make up for the previous reviews on prior C-class models.
    Lastly: BEFORE YOU BUY - Find a Mercedes Dealership and ask if they provide a “Pre-Purchase Inspection”. They will try to get you when you settle up, but it should be 75$. Period. And if you got time, use the bathroom. It’s one of the nicest bathrooms Iv ever been into. Yes. A bathroom. Snake skin black walls, marble sink and toilet bowls, since like a clear gloss gold marble.... I honestly felt bad using any of it. So I wiped the sink where water splashed a little 🤭 lol and I got my first oil change done there after the first week. Don’t do it (unless you really like the bathroom or have extra dough to blow). It was 256$.

I’m selling my 2016 C63s now, and getting a 2016 A45 AMG. (I know, going from a V8 to 4pot.. but i’m not letting my wife drive the C63! :p) - i’m gonna get the A45 coated right away.

    I picked up my E 450 Coupe yesterday and have noticed the ‘grabbing issue’ when pulling on and off my drive way. Love the tip for getting rid of this by ditching the run flats, as it’s super annoying. But what do you do if you get a puncture without run flats as the car has no spare wheel? 🤷🏻‍♂️

    • @ABAUTOAMG
      @ABAUTOAMG  2 ปีที่แล้ว

      Hi Matt, if your car is under warranty you should have free roadside assistance with Mercedes, theres even a button for this in some cars. Even if the car is out of warranty if it has been serviced by mercedes themselves every year you should have this service, it rolls on. I'm not 100% sure so I'd check with your dealer with your car. If I'm unlucky and get a flat il be calling them for a free tow or fix hopefully. To be honest I'd worry about cracking my alloys driving on a flat, even a runflat.

    9:13 use a nail paint for repairs (or a touch up paint) , Go to a store and find the matching blue color (pretty sure you will find it) I use Essie nail paint and I apply it with a small paint brush.
    Sometimes you can match it better with a nail paint than the original brand touch up.

    Here in the US, I'm driving an older '14 E250 4Matic Bluetec. Because it's a diesel, the DEF Tank replaces the spare tire. So, it came with Fun Flat Tires. After my second sidewall blowout I pulled them off and put on non-run flats. The important piece I believe you left out of your video (If you don't have a spare tire) is to have an emergency air compressor & fix a flat can. I use the Slime Kit that has both in a tidy zipped package. My two step recovery from a flat is to use the Slime unless it's a side-wall blow out which then, I dial up my (24 hour) AAA Road Service. It's a reasonable back up plan. My wife's X5d also ran on run flats. I replaced them with non and put the same Slime Kit in the rear space under the lid.
