Quiet

Hi all, I am looking for a new vehicle as a daily runner and looked at the above vehicle does anyone have experience of this brand and vehicle in or out of Sri Lanka Looks to have decent specs/looks and warranty for the price it is offered

Hi all, There are several cars up for sale with very low mileages, i was thinking of buying one, does anyone have experience of the vehicle and any known issues

you cant verify through RMV app by paying 150 bucks if you have the chassis number

Also check if Insurer has done valid check of engine and chassis number pre insurance, now thy cant come and say vehicle is invalid ask them for proof of inspection, they cant now come and tell it is illegal

same happened to me with the Audi large banging noise when i hit small bumps, suddenly it dissapeared i checked the suspension system and agents said there are no issues, no one knows what happened

Thanks m8 no it does not have air suspension although it has dampers i was mindful to to get air suspension, it does not suite our potholes

I do not have an eye for photography this is the best i could capture

Hi guys So after 07 long years i have decided to part with my trusty Audi A5, and move on after 130K solid kilometers (bought with 250Km on the clock), I have to say it gave me no major headaches other than replacement of the A/C Compressor. So starting a new chapter with my new Merc E200 2023, hope it gives me the same satisfaction as the Audi. So far the experience is good without the spirited engine of the Audi.

I have been using a W212 W118 and an Audi A5, latter two are fairly new cars bought brand new, all three are maintained by the agents and done over 120K with timely preventive maintenance done. i have owned several Japanese models high end to low end. so obviously the maintenance cost of Euros are much higher if you go to the agents, but the vehicle will be reliable, there are several third party importers who do a fair job in replacing parts at a lower cost. But i do not think maintenance costs are exorbitantly high as many perceive if you can find a properly maintained car.

Yep there is a slight air leak, I got is repaired from a joint at Borelasgamuwa. There were plenty of BMW ans Mercedes Alloy Wheels with sismilar cracks brought for repairs. So far no Issues, in my case it is only a small crack at the edge so i dont think there will be a big impact on the integrity of the wheel

Hi all, Recently i changed my tires due to wear and tear and found out one of the Alloy wheels is damaged from the inside and there is air leakage, can you all please recommend a trustworthy place to do the repair, I did some dent repair for for alloy wheels for a different vehicle from a Borelasgamuwa place some time back and do not remembers the name of the place, they had many Euros that had come for Alloy repairs, anyone who know their contact number much appreciated if you can share the details.

there is a karcher service center in Narahenpita

Does anyone have any idea on known issues of the above car 2017-18model specifically the Battery. I know E300 blutec hybrid battery fails around 80K, E350e batteries has no such issues. is it the issue with liquid cooled battery vs Air cooled battery. Any feedback is much appreciated to make an informed decision

yep you get these small scratch marks

I would advice to stay away from CLA's the build quality is not as good and not good at all on fuel consumption

I would say CLA 180/200 has considerable repair maintenance cost considering vintage you are looking at. My CLA 200 YOM 2019 issues and maintenance cost is relatively very high compared to Audi A5 2018 i have. mind you Audi AC compressor had to be replaced recently and agents quoted Rs.0.9Mn and i had to bring it down from UK through a friend, the gas and labor only cost me 150K. so if you are buying a Euro need to ensure it is properly maintained preferably at the agents who do preventive maintenance in a timely manner (Though its bit costly). Also you need to have excess cash flows in an eventuality. I wouldn't know about BMW's, how about a 2015/6 Mazda 06 or the 2018/19 Mazda 3. within your budget and with plenty of personality and relatively easy to maintain, agents give satisfactory service. Also the Honda Accord, i saw some going up for sale.

as per service advisor it could be a steering module issue, but i feel that the guy has not checked it properly and he is no longer employed at agent.

Dear All, My CLA 200 2019 pops up below errors time to time and does not shift to P. This occurred after a week after battery done through the agent, several references obtained indicate this is due to a damaged door lock where the door was opened while vehicle is in D, any one has experience of this

I am planning to buy a BMW i8 2015-16. so many low mileage cars up for sale, any one know of known issues of the car appreciate any feedback

update - i got the job done at Borelasgamuwa and was there for the entire process, seems to be they are experts on this while i was there BMW Z4,X5 Audi A4 and believe it or not an Aston Martin also got the same job done, reasonable price and very fast and professional service.

Any idea where i can buy and replacement unfortunately i want one i doubt anyone will sell one

I did a car checks before purchase at the time of purchase there were no vibration, my wife use the car so i do not know is she did hit a large pothole

Hi all, I bought a CLA 200 about 06 months back, suddenly vehicle is having a vibration at speeds exceeding 100Kmph when checked it seems the two front alloy wheels are slightly warped. Two joints, one in Borelasgamuwa and another in Dehiwala said they were doing the relevant repair/correcting through a machine that takes around 4 hours. I obtained two opinions from known reputed tyre shops, one guy said it is not advisable to correct it as it will harm the structure of the wheel while the other guy said there will not be a major structural impact. As it stands i do not have a choice , much appreciated your advice on this

Congrants i have a car with same colour, your head light mod seem very cool

used Mazda 06 for 2 years and merc for 2 years, driving pleasure - Mazda all the way, i used to go to Colonial for service and repairs back then (up to 2017) services provided was pretty decent. those cars did have a issue with front suspensions so better get them checked, also most of the cars were maintained by agents and used by people who loved cars so mostly shortcuts were not used. Good luck once you own a mazda you will be a fan for life
