    Rear seat headrests

    Brilliant! Such an easy fix. Took me all of 10 seconds per seat. Thanks a million for the tip. Here's my recap of the really simple procedure: 1. From a rear door fold a rear seat slightly, put your knee on the seat 2. Extend the headrest fully out 3. Hold in adjustment button 4. Slam headrest...

    2017 Options & Standard Features

    So I ended up buying a 2017, that is reasonably well optioned: Premium Package 3 Heated Seats Parking Pilot Blind Spot Assist Yet somehow, this car does not have the 12-Color ambient lighting, it's just one color (amber). In 2016, it looks like this feature was part of the "Premium package"...

    Motor whining, needs replacement

    Thanks for your reply. I'll go test some more on Friday. Some thoughts I had: Perhaps a pump or something in the rear, or something related to the battery cooling system could be making noise? I can't recall if I had the cargo cover open or closed, and that may make a big difference, too. I...

    Motor whining, needs replacement

    I'm looking to purchase a used 2015 B-Class, with 3-Months remaining factory warranty. When I test drove the car, I was stunned by how LOUD the car was. It sounded as if there was an engine in the back of the thing at some speeds. It was loud. 0-5 MPH - quiet 15-40 MPH - Loudest 40+ I think the...
