Questions
Thanks alot for the warm welcome guys, much appreciated.
The Turbo is incredible, I have never ever felt anything like it (it must be said I am upgrading from an SLK280, so there is no basis for comparision - one is a beast and one is just a car)
I have a couple of questions - I have looked through the Forum and was not able to find the answers with the specificity I would like:
1. I have the regular brakes (red calipers) - however, sometimes at low speeds, they squeak and whine - is this normal on the regular brakes? Some PCCB's had noise issues, but I'm not sure about the normal brakes.
2. There is no auto headlight mode - this is correct? Also, when the headlights are on, should the sports chrono, the turbo sign in the Rev Counter etc be lit up (because in my car, they're not)?
3. How do I get the sports chrono to work? The dealer had misplaced the manuals, and will only get them to me next week, so I am unable to look there for reference. How do I use the Clock timer, make it function etc?
4. Most important: I drive this car hard - I max out in each gear to the redline (or try to) and accelerate etc constantly (the car is broken in). This car is so brilliant, I can't help but take it to the max. My question is (and I know the answer, but I just want to confirm with you guys) - can this car handle the constant abuse? Will it still be bulletproof in terms of function and reliability even though I drive it like a "wannabe" race driver all the time (please note I don't endanger other cars on the road, I take all precautions, and obey all traffic laws, except the speed limit!)?
5. Taking into account #4, how often should I get the oil changed, and what oil do you recommend I use?
As always, thanks alot for your guidance, much appreciated
Thanks
