Mercedes C250 Coupe Servicing
Discussion
Hello guys
I've been told that I can get the service record on my C250 Coupe by getting Mercedes to plug into the ECU, but they are telling me that it only shows the last service.
The service history that they have at the "mainframe" only covers the first service, and its now had its third service (the middle one was done by an small garage apparently)
How can I check if service two was done? And at the right time?
All help much appreciated.

Depending on the age of the vehicle it should have the service record held within one of the vehicle's computer modules.
The record can be accessed by anyone (dealer or independent) who has a Mercedes 'Star' diagnostic device.
On my MY 08 CLS320 using Star I can read the entire service record, including date and mileage and any optional extras e.g. transmission fluid change.
I think that this feature has been rolled out across the entire range over the past eight years or so...
Thanks Zulu, do you think that would be the case regardless if the service was done at a non mercedes garage?The record can be accessed by anyone (dealer or independent) who has a Mercedes 'Star' diagnostic device.

I'm not saying that's wrong, but I've never heard of that being possible before - are you sure it's not reading the service history off a central database?The record can be accessed by anyone (dealer or independent) who has a Mercedes 'Star' diagnostic device.

What I have seen is Star showing service reset mileages - but of course you don't know if that's just the service reminder being reset or if the work has been done.
