Hey congrats on your C300 and wish you happy and safe miles.

Can you (if possible) post a video of the adaptive high beams in action in Indian conditions? I have the adaptive xenon setup in my beemer and even here in Germany, I could hardly use them due to traffic density and was wondering how this would work in our traffic conditions.

Thanks in advance and happy miles.

There is a manual mode to make the beam full throw for Indian roads

Thank you! I will try and grab a video with the multibeam setup in action. In 20k kms I have covered in my car, the multibeam setup has worked brilliantly. The car just switches over to high-beams when it thinks it safe to do so and blocks out certain segments to avoid dazzling oncoming traffic.

Hi Akunchala,
I hope your Rooh is doing more miles and bringing you more joy each day.

Mine on the other hand has been constantly bugging me with trouble, it is the third time in as many months that the front tyre issue has come up now. My car has been at the service station more than it has been in my garage. I am thinking of a permanent solution to this, can you advise?

I am also creating a new thread about this and I would really like to find out if there is some technical issue with the cars design and how many more of Mercedes C Class owners are facing this very issue of front tyres bursting or developing infirmities and cuts by just going through pot holes. If we could really gather some evidence about number of people facing the same issue we can request Mercedes India to look into it and find a permanent solution to this.

Please share your thoughts on this. @Akunchala

Hi Hitman,

Oh damn! I feel sorry for you mate. I look forward to seeing your thread. My car, fortunately, has not had any more trouble since then. Did you escalate this issue with Mercedes's management? Are they replacing the tyres under warranty? Have you verified if the alloy wheel is alright?

Best,
Arun

PS: Quote me on your reply so that I get a notification.

I have taken it up with Mercedes's Management and they have suggested to replace all 4 tyres with Pirellis which apparently have thicker side walls and would prevent such a mishap in the future. They are working on doing so as I type and wait.
The alloy was damaged on the second tyre cut and the dealership in Pune in stead of replacing it, did some balancing and put it on the front right instead of its original left. I feel it was due to this that the third tyre crack happened.
It is really frustrating to have the car spend more time in the workshop than in my hands.

Are there any emails you have about this? I would love to check with my dealer as well.

Sorry for the delayed response. Must thank the Co-ViD19 pandemic for allowing me a break and to really get back on this forum. Please see the attached screenshot which explains the situation.

Thank you for sharing. I am going to share this with my service center and see where it goes. Is your car back after the replacement? Did you have any further trouble?

It is back and so far no trouble. They had misaligned the steering after the replacement which I got corrected. Other than that it seems ok so far. *touchwood* 😅.
How is your experience about the tyres? Have you had any issues other than the one you posted on this thread?

Hi, hoping you're still crunching many miles with Rooh, give us some updates too. How has the ownership experience been after close to 2 years?

[car_guy1998]

Hi, a well-written ownership review on your Merc!

And, BTW, your Merc looks hot in Black, and one last question, how's the experience with your Merc after 2 years of ownership?

Did you manage to get this done ?

I got it done in a week's time after I got driving regularly.
