My tire dates didn’t make it to my previous message?  User error maybe.  Codes are 3917 and 3318… Oct 2017, Aug 2018…. Something like that.

@Spider-Viloce, remote shopping is challenging.  So I’m happy to share what I know.  I have 2 dates on 2 tires… the others look to be same wear - but codes not apparent.   Comparing to VMI mileage checks, that ends up suggesting good life remaining.

@BLowe1, The squeaking in the video is the steering wheel itself.  It's plastic on plastic right beneath the wheel... My take was it may be caused by under use.  I had failed to ask my tech about that at baselining.  But yes, I am familiar with that and assuming some adjustment resolves that.  Telescoping, for example, does not resolve that because the it's the wheel itself at the post causing the noise.

@Spider_veloce, thank you Sir.  I remember the Distronic well from my 2004.  'Graphics' were remarkably crude outline of a car and would indeed break off the CC when the perimeter was breached.  

You made a previous inquiry about brakes... VMI mentions brake activity around 39k miles... and my baselining technician just said "brakes and tires are good for now'... triangulating on tire manufacture date, the tires can't have more than 5-7k miles on them.

@gasman, I know you're out there... I got some questions in email that I expected to see in the thread below - and don't see them.

This is Airmatic, yes.  My understanding that means not ABC, but I'm not the expert.  Adaptive CC,? I believe no... I haven't identified that feature when using CC.

To the list of standard features on the car, the sales card detail says: P02 Premium Package, which includes rear camera, Parktronic, Keyless-go... and separate options of the ipod integration kit and bluetooth interface.

@Spider_Veloce, Thank you.  Truth in advertising... I crawled under the wheel wells and snapped whatever pic I got - if some happen to be of nothing in particular.  And obviously I didn't clean anything before I took the photo - so the buying public could see the real thing.  At least one of the new air shocks is featured I think.

@Spider_Veloce, Should be doable.  I'll submit that tmo.  I also owe some undercarriage shots if I can get a lift, which will not be this week... working on that.  VMI dealer codes are 01117 for MB Mobile, 14302 for MB Coral Gables.

@Spider_Veloce(23),  Thank you for the look - and thanks to the MB Market hosts for facilitating the listing ... I pulled a VMI which helped me when I was buying.  After a couple of entries from Coral Gables, this shows MB of Mobile from 2011 through to April 2021.  In addition to regular A services, brakes, batteries, wiper blades, I see a 60k service Feb 2020 (including plugs and belt) and a couple of air struts replaced in August 2020.  When I took it to my technician for baselining, the transmission service is all he recommended.  The car got new oil in April, less than 1,000 miles ago.  I hate not knowing more - but I know it was under dealer care throughout.
