  • Fuel consumption SL 55 AMG

    Hello together, what would interest me once. What does your AI show for a fuel consumption of 55 AMG with 500 or 517 hp in the consumption indicator “Ab Reset” (so not the last 20km down the mountain :-))? At: – average consumption – average speed over how many kilometers maggi001

  • Roof module built-in–quiet

    Yesterday I installed the X-AIO roof module, had a problem with the mass, otherwise everything went Easy. I find the 200 Euron worth. Has already what if the roof goes up and down from the distance, then you can also lower both windows with the FB,open with the inside switch is also cool,short pull or push and you can let go and the roof opens or closes completely.The with the 50 km/h I tested, no problems at the speed, better it is certainly a little long To drive more to close or open, you don’t have to excite it.

  • Lowering of an ABC suspension

    Hello everyone. I have a question, of which I think there are certainly different people here in the forum who can answer it. How can you lower an ABC chassis without necessarily buying an additional control module for a lot of money? I thought so in real sensors or poles or so (to modify this). Workshop with a lot of skill and understanding I have at hand – just wanted to ask here before to not unnecessarily drag the whole (the work) into the length and we may not answer the wrong part first and try. Thanks already in advance. Oh and still what – who can not post anything on my question, it should let – so no answers like – why do you want to lower is shit etc. Please only posts, who can answer my question. Thank you!!! I believe that you have to write this right here otherwise trash me here with your advices etc. only too! P.S. Who does not want to post it – then gladly by PN

  • Problems with Parctronic SL55

    Hello together, maybe someone can help me with this problem: I bought and had the new rear apron of the SL63 for my SL55. But now the following problem has arisen: the new Parctronic sensors at the rear do not harmonize with the control unit for the old ones, which are installed in the front apron. Either you buy six new ones and make them into the old front apron(plus control unit) or you buy four old sensors and try to get them into the new rear apron rze, which is of course much cheaper but could have a very decisive hook, namely: the new rear apron has between sensors and diffuser a slight curvature outwards (see picture) and that could mean that the Parctronic will start beeping though nothing is behind it. Maybe someone has an experience or clue about this topic. I know, complaining at a high level and even blamed if you “basked” the car with new rear apron. Many greetings from Ulrich

  • Purchase advice R129/ now still access or wait until next spring

    love sl fan community, since the appearance of the r129 was and is this my dream car. especially the silhouette fascinates me. after more than 18 years and I can now realize this dream as “hobby” or third car. I would like to buy a well-kept r129 (–> as far as possible sl 500/5 gang autom., unbasted) to drive it exclusively at the end of the week (only early year/summer). I guess I will drive for a limited time max. 3 to 5 tkm per year with this car. This will be a rather expensive hobby for me, since I want to keep and maintain the car for several years. I have been intensely observing the r129 market for more than six months. however, I have no time pressure. my question: is it worth buying such a convertible before the “winter break” or in winter, or will there still be noticeable price movements down until the next early year? especially for the still quite expensive r129 series from bj. 1996 (mopf2). especially since I don’t plan di iten dare to drive now in winter, and through the new r230 model care in the next spring many r230/mopf1 used will come on the market. most likely then some r129 owners will exchange their fun car for a “payable” used r230, and there will be again some good (and affordable for me) r129 on the market. or do I see this wrong? thank you in advance for serious tips! greetings from stuttgart summer57

  • Vehicle stops after about 5 km

    Hello, if I do not drive my SL 300 R 129 regularly, the thing stops after approx. 5 KM. The engine starts to stutter, and goes out. I have to leave the car for about 1.5 hours, and then it runs again. But then without problems. If I then drive regularly, ( every day) I have no problems. But if he stops for about 2 days then I have the same problem again. 5 KM drive, stay lying, 1.5 hours wait, and then go on. Can someone tell me where to drive Is it possible that someone has ever had the same problem. mfg Gerold

  • SL (R230) for 30,000 euros??

    Hello, I can / would like to spend about 30,000 euro on a stacked R230. There are some in the price range on the market. what is more useful : 1) an older (Bj 2002-3) with a few km (about 50,000 ) or 2) a newer (Bj 2004-5) with many km (about 130,000) ? Didn’t read too good in the forum about the first models, therefore I tend to 2). There would have to solve all problems like disguise flaps/tanking noises/electronics problems, the recall actions canceled equipment/colour/motor/ is secondary (almost everything is in it as standard) or is there something that should not be missing? I think about resale if something is. Keyless and the command system seems to be popular. I am grateful for opinions/stimulations (quietly don’t take a leaf in front of my mouth). Greeting Dirk

  • Winter tires: Where the better ones?

    Meal, the question arises again and again as in the subject…the answers to it usually: a) The workshops and popular opinion: The better forward b) The opinion of the traffic clubs, ADAC etc., the better backward, because they hold the rear axle in the track, or a push over the front axle is easier controllable than a breaking tail. Purely from the driving behavior, variant b is obvious for me, however, how can it be seen when braking, or closing. Is the question in which area you should put the weighting?. Are there any known experiences/examinations? Personal opinions are of course also welcome. Greetings

  • Speed limit in Germany

    What do you think about the threatening speed limits in Germany? I am against it because I just like to drive faster and as a free citizen I don’t want to be overguarded by the state. (I’m not a racer, pusher or anything else I always drive so that I don’t ferment anyone else and would also like to do so in the future)

  • Question on the catalogue of fines and speed exceeding

    Hi guys, just as an example of the following case. I drive in town 140km/h, where only 50km/h are allowed. The fine catalog says the following in this offense : over 70 km/h 425,- EUR, 4 points, 3 months driving ban Now it is also still so, that I am in the probation period, but before that had no entry in Flensburg. Threaten me besides the penalty and the construction seminar still further consequences, for example, an idiot test, because this is a kind of “special” offense, since one knows The background of this thread is the fact that I got my father’s SL 65 AMG on the weekend and turned off my head for 2 seconds and left my foot on the accelerator pedal. The whole thing happened on a very busy road, where also often flashes, although I don’t know exactly if this was the case. Of course there is no excuse for this behavior -.- I ask for advice.
