  1. Is it the electric pump building hydraulic pressure in the brake reservoir? I hear it when unlocking the car as well
  2. Just headline grabbing, sounds like they are helping the motorist... Oh and don't call me Shirely! 😉
  3. Not sure I like the proposal to move testing to every 2yrs. I suppose most faults should be picked up at the annual service but as so many owners these days drive until it breaks before visiting a garage i think it a retrograde step in safety. Even those cars routinely serviced don't, generally, have their brake efficiency/balance check at service time. How many garages do a suspension check at service time, checking bushes and ball joint play etc?? The small savings in costs to the owner (which in the grand scheme of running costs generally is insignificant) could so easily be completely negated by much bigger bills come failure/accident ...
  4. Just the 'lowly' 300h RC for me but the AVS is very noticeable in the different modes. Much more so than my previous MB CLS55 on AIRmatic. I tend to use Normal around town/urban driving. The suspension tightens nicely on fast roundabouts etc.. but is nice and compliant on the less than smooth roads. Also I don't need the accentuated throttle response in traffic, nor the tightened steering response one gets in the Sport/Sport+ modes. On the open roads it's Sport mode all the way! Sports+ if I want to 'play' but it's really too firm for normal driving on roads round here, mid corner bumps really upsets the handling. As David suggests, double check you actually have AVS, I thought it was optional on the '18 model year?
  5. As Colin says hang on to it for now. Perhaps plan to change it come the colder months, depending on it's age?
  6. There's something comforting about flicking through a hard copy manual but the pdf versions are easier to search using CTRL+F
