Hello I would have a problem now too I have a 2004.09 SL 500 with Keyless go in the key I have 2 keys one has always started with Keyless the other has only revealed the access in car and when I then press the start button at the switch button which always only jumped between position 1 and position 2 ….. So I always used the working key there also the start process worked today at noon but my wife took the replacement key and with Him over the Ignition lock started… since that also the other key no longer works.. So the car opens with both as it should be only when I then press the button he jumps back and forth again only between ignition settings 1 and 2 can it be that the knob has lost its programming? or is that more due to the keys I just don’t know how I could proceed and would be grateful for tips

Servus, I bought a sl55 amg half a year ago and so far, 6000 km without problems. Recently he makes noises. It started when the vehicle is carefully warm and the engine has about 40 degrees oil temperature, a noise appears, which we hear a slight howling or after-running noise. Vibrations develop, which are noticeable on the steering wheel. Sometimes it is so that the noise then remains standing and sometimes is away again. The ntk pump has recently been changed to suspect. I suspect that the noise at the front is left, i.e. in the corner of the bipolar servo pump. Serve fluid has been checked and also something replenished. The noise occurs at the standing and driving vehicle. Is there any known problems with the servo pump? Could it be the pump or can it also be tapped on something else by remote diagnosis. Somehow, the problem first depends on a time period or a temperature dependence and as I said, if it occurs and the engine is restarted, it is sometimes completely gone. So I think it might also somehow have to do with the control unit. Next step might be to free the individual agregates from the drive belt and maybe drive without the pump. Error data wasn’t canceled. Would you have advised me? Many thanks in advance. Out. Best greetings Jumbosmall

Hello all!! I have a 500SL (R129) built in March 1992 quasi “herited” or took over. The car has a few “light” quirks, but still makes a very good and clean impression. Drive now for a few days with it and have found the following, for me very strange, problem. I was surprised that if I speed up with full throttle The car turns up to 6,500 – 7000 (red range) revolutions but the highest speed for the respective gear still does not then I recorded the speeds at certain rotations and compared them with videos on Youtube and found that my SL was definitely turning too high. Following approx. values2. gear 3000 UPM -> 45 km/h 4000 UPM -> 62 km/h 5000 UPM -> 78 km/h 6000 UPM -> 95 km/h 3. gear 3000 UPM -> 70 km/h 4000 UPM -> 95 km/h 5000 UPM -> 120 km/h 6000 UPM -> 145 km/h 4. gear 3000 UPM -> 100 km/h 4000 UPM -> 135 km/h 5000 UPM -> 165 km/h 6000 UPM -> 200 km/h It’s hand It’s about a 722.3 (4 gear) gearbox which otherwise switches completely normal (drive other MB from the 80s and 90s for comparison). The car also has thrust and accelerated, my eighth, normal. It’s just as if the gearbox had a shorter translation. What could that be? On the torque converter? I’ve been looking for information and remedy for days, but I couldn’t find anything until now. Would I look forward to any feedback. MfG, David.

Hello dear members, heard today from my workshop that the ignition cables that control valves/cylinders at the engine ( 320SL , year 1994 , from 2002 Prinsgasanlage ) , must be renewed . The cables that go directly to the engine to the individual cylinders are crumbling, porous and thus not ignite among others 4th and 6th cylinders , restless running etc. Had any of you heard of this cable problem – normally age-related to the R129 or exception ? Or is it a special that by the operation of the Gas system has been created (higher temperatures in gas operation)? What recommendation can you give me to prevent premature cable wear again? Ask for your experience/ advice/help Thank you! Yeilis (new member)

On Super RTL the movie “Prinz William” just ran. In this film Princess Diana drives a R129 !? Is that really true? Did she actually (privately) have a SL? If yes, which model ? I know there are more important questions; but I would be interested.
