Hello dear R-community, when I leave in the morning, I reach the highway after about 3 minutes. There I notice an imbalance in the wheels at speed 120 km/h. Can happen! After a few minutes driving time the imbalance disappears. Now my MB dealer has already re-examined the (winter) wheels, yet it still persists. Do you think it is realistic that the imbalance is caused by the high vehicle weight when the car has stood all night? My car p My vehicle: R 350 CDI Lang 4Matic with all extras (weight!) My tyres: 255er Conti Winter 19 inch original from Mercedes. Thank you & Best regards Schwabe550

One more thing I would have. Topic Keyless Go. My said R320 CDI also has this feature, but with the drawback that it works with all doors except the driver’s door. My dealer has changed the door handle before, but this was not the problem. Did someone have to have the same experience? What was wrong with you? My confidant said that it might be the cable harness in the driver’s door or the lock. It is however that if I had a working Keyless Go T open and close, the driver’s door also opens and closes. Only the operation of the Keyless Go is not possible. Please ask for useful information to me (“as Konrad Tönz said at XY reference number”).

Because of the poor sales figures, Mercedes carries out a new and comprehensive facelift with the R-Class (which in my view has also succeeded) and it is not operated on the in-house homepage or anywhere in the media advertising for the “new model”. And whether it is really advantageous that the manufacturer now specifies in the configurator which models are available with 4 Matic drive and which are not resp. which models with short and which available with long wheelbase In front of the facelift, I was still free to choose the respective motorization with the respective wheelbase (short/long) and the respective drive (4 Matic/Heckdrive). At least as far as these aspects are concerned, everything was not necessarily worse with the predecessor model. Let’s hope that the R-Class will not finally become a “swaving stroke” due to this well thought-out sales strategy or that the manufacturer here still improved. beebymurphy
