  • Mercedes SLK 200 Compressor R171 goes out temperature-dependent again?!

    Hello, with our Mercedes SLK 200 compressor (R171) the following error picture is present: At cold temperatures (<5 degrees) it either doesn't start at all or very bad. When it starts, the engine only stays running if you increase the stationary gas. On one of the last cold days, the vehicle did not even start despite (30?) start attempts. If you turn the key around, the starter runs and the engine starts up very bumpy, goes out after a few turns or l At higher temperatures - or when the engine is warm - it runs completely smoothly. The error memory was read out several times at Mercedes - every time no error was made! Since the vehicle has jumped in normal again in the past days due to the warmer temperatures, the described error could not be reproduced at the customer service - but the basically bad start behavior was noticed. All relevant who The spark of ignition is also available. After several mechanics have looked over it, one was stunned. Mercedes proposed the replacement of the crankshaft sensor and camshaft sensors - since the part costs alone are around 600 euros, we are now considering what we are doing. The new sensors were installed in test mode. However, as the error as described above, due to the warmer temperatures was not reproducible, no difference could be detected. Did any of you happen to have a similar error picture or entry in the FS? Would you let the sensors "on good luck" change and watch what happens?

  • S class VS. E class (comfort )

    Why S if anyway is cheaper Is an e 400 cdi or e 500 worse feathered, if he has airmatic in it than an S class??? My grandpa has this old edged S class than 400s, since it’s inside so quiet but the e320 from my girlfriend’s father is also not soooo much louder, just he rappels more.

  • Peugeot 207cc or Mercedes SLK 200 R170

    Hello dear ones, I have a very difficult decision to make: I’m currently driving an Astra G convertible, but it has several problems, which is why I’m going to buy a new car. My candidates are 1. the Peugeot 207cc and 2. the Mercedes Benz SLK 200 R170 (without compressor). I found good listings of both of them. Now the question is for me which car is better? Advantages of the 207: 4-seater (Plus/Minus ), lower consumption, smaller, younger,…? Vortei the SLK: the look, the reliable engine, around 400€ less insurance costs, the 5-speed circuit,…? The SLK does not have a compressor as I said, which is probably the best way to drive the circuit, because I don’t care about speed. To me: I am almost 19 years young, almost still driving beginners and student. The four seats in the Astra are claimed as well as ne, which is why the two-seater fits. But maybe it’s better, the possibility of a four-seater. What are, apart from my listed criteria, other characteristics that make one or the other model stand out? I send the two ads in here for security reasons; the 207cc: Just found at #classifieds. How do you find this?https://www.kleinanzeigen.de/…/2890749357-216-7905?… the SLK: Just found at #classifieds. How do you find this?https://www.kleinanzeigen.de/…/2837219311-216-4063?… I would mega about advice fre uen, in the end I want to drive my future for at least 5 years! Have a nice day, with all my best regards, Jonas

  • Tank imploded

    Dear G-Friends, in my G 463 270 CDI Bj. 2004 the tank imploded by a poor ventilation, it started with that the tank display did not work anymore. I didn’t know anything bad, I continued on the highway. After about 600 km I stayed there. The tank was very difficult to open at the tank lock. After I filled 10 liters from the reserve can, I could start again. In the following refueling only 40 l fit into the tank. I left the G to the workshop of the Autoindustriale GmbH in Bruneck for repair – with the indication of a possible lack of ventilation. The short test resulted in a clogged fuel filter. The next day I was able to pick up the vehicle again. The tanker was not checked because the lid in the trunk was covered by luggage. After the second time, I looked at the tank from below and through the opening in the trunk and found that it moved up and down. Long speech short sense, I need now a new or used tank (part number A 463 470 08 01) with tanker (part number A 463 542 08 17) maybe someone here in the forum has an idea, where I enjoy the parts, but if I always refuel in time, which is not a problem. Many greetings from the north Lutz

  • Search Mercedes G – short assistance requested

    Hello together, I’m new here and signed up here looking for a G-model and hope I’m right here. The G should be above all a lover car (3rd vehicle beside everyday cars of my wife and me), but also sometimes the family moves on longer distances or a trailer. He won’t see terrain. I just like the history and the design at the G. After my previous knowledge would be a W463 long from the end of 80s / early 90s and thus a short- to medium-term option for an H-approval. On the engine side I thought primarily of a petrol engine (300 / 320 / 500), whereby the very old diesel (OM603, OM606) would be an option in principle, but in the context of the discussion about diesel driving bans and above all high running performance rather in the background. CDIs do not think so, are also too new to me. I also do not want a craft shop with high repair requirements. I have learned that I have to pay attention to rust. ss. I’m surprised about the price level of the G, since the same old W126 or W140 are much cheaper to get than G. I don’t have a precise price frame, somewhere between 15,000 and 25,000 euros would be optimal, with a healthy buffer for repairs. I have a bit of screwdriver experience with old Mercedes, but the G is a lot different, especially it doesn’t fit into my screwdriver garage (too low). nn outside mobile.de? Or am I completely on the wooden road with my search? Thank you for all the answers. Daniel

  • How to hire Burmester in G-Class?

    Hello together, for a few weeks I’ve been looking forward to the new G500 with its modern chassis and interior. What makes me not happy is the Burmester system: With equalizer setting “0” for basses, mids and highs I experience only muddy sound without any brilliance with much too much bass. In the setting “Raumklang” the dull impression becomes stronger. Currently I have the basses set to “-5” and the heights set to “+7/+8” to contour the sound a bit. But the solution is definitely not. Sound source is Bluetooth from the iPhone with Spotify at high data rate. What irritates me: with all other vehicles I always set the volume on the iPhone to maximum, so that I then regulate in the car how loud I want to hear. That’s not possible in the G: when I turn louder on the iPhone, the display in the G also shows me the volume bar. Do I do something wrong? How are your experiences? That’s how Mercedes can not have lost the sound system. The Harman Kardon in the BMW 3 is a rolling concert hall. Thank you and greeting hawaii

  • Oxi cat broken?

    My 270cdi runs smoothly when I accelerate. That would be because the oxicate is full. Wouldn’t be too bad, it’s added. If this is the case, it just keeps running according to the secondary current principle. Dirty though, but otherwise without side effects. However, you can blow it free, so that it can fulfill its original task again. Best on a highway ride over 100km plus at 3000 turns. I have now gone to Brittany, felt about 400km with at least 3000Tours, rather more. But he’s at least the same as he did before driving. What else can I do, with the black clouds I’m really embarrassed. Despite retrofitted DPF. Can such a cat be defective too? Greetings Carsten

  • S-class, but what model?

    Hello, at the moment I drive a Mercedes SL 500, built in ’03. Since I now get double offspring, this is no longer the suitable vehicle. Therefore I would like to buy a second car now, I have already driven a S320 CDI test and was positively surprised. Unfortunately, the Filliale had no S600 there, which I could have tried, but I am very interested in this model! Somewhere I have read now, however, that soon the new S-Class I would like to buy the car very much, but not if a new model comes out soon, then of course I would rather have the newer one. What do you think about it? with kind regards Julian Mayer

  • Questioning – “Why are expensive cars actually bought?”

    Question on the topic “Why are expensive cars actually bought?” I am looking for interview partners as part of a dissertation that deals with the purchase motivation of high-priced consumer goods from a psychological point of view. When I read the posts in the forums, but also the very expensive vehicles have many flaws and problems. I am now interested in what the reasons are, that you invest so much money for the car purchase. Are it e.g. the equipment features or the brand or the serviceability or reliability or innovation in technology … or or. So, who would like to be available as a discussion partner for me as a driver of the latest models of S-Class, A8? I think about an hour to 75 min. Since I am not very mobile myself, however, I can at most visit you in the area of Berlin or Hamburg (of course by appointment). Appointments or inquiries please via the forum or directly via [email protected] Thank you to you in advance! Knut

  • Backups Noname or brand?

    Hello together, apart from the fact that I only find no-name fuses and I want to carry which as a replacement in the car, such no-name fuses 100 pcs. for 8€ are useful or better on brand articles:https://www.amazon.es/…/ref=ox_sc_act_title_1?… If every couple of years the fuse 40A for the engine cooling fan (slow speed) fails regularly, what could be the cause of this? see also: https://kfz-sicherungen.com/saab/9-3-gm2900.html#sell fuses-2 Is the Plastic box possibly the (known?) vulnerability (wg. wear possible) ? Last question: a damaged fuse is neither detected by the SID nor is it reported by the OBD China reader, right? Will one then check it, individually take out and visual inspection or need it a test device for this?
