    Mercedes-Benz E-Class and CLS recalled over fire risk
    By Fabian Cotter · 31 Aug 2015
    The current Mercedes-Benz E-Class and CLS-Class models are being recalled due to the possibility of an engine bay seal becoming damaged and coming into contact with hot engine bay components. The affected seal is located in the secondary bulkhead in the engine compartment, and could result in fire if it becomes loose.The recall affects just seven vehicles, which were sold in Australia between the start of April and May 2015.Mercedes-Benz will contact the owners of affected vehicles by mail, and the fault will be rectified free of charge.Related: What are car safety recalls all about?

    Mercedes E300 2017: Drivers's seat replacement
    Answered by Graham Smith · 24 May 2019

    A trimmer would probably repair it cheaper than Mercedes; the cheapest option would be to fit some seat covers.

     

    How much oil should a 2015 E400 use?
    Answered by Graham Smith · 10 Mar 2017

    If you aren't doing it already keep a record of the oil you put in, recording the date, the odometer, and the amount of oil added. That would give you some evidence to present to the dealer and MB. As you haven't had any satisfaction from the dealer go directly to Mercedes-Benz (Ph: 1300 730 200). There shouldn't be any reason to be scared on driving the car, all cars use oil, it's the amount of oil used that it the question that needs to be answered in your case. In the meantime check the oil level weekly.
