  • SLK 200 K Built 2000 Vario roof without function, control board burned, search detailed circuit diagram

    Hello colleagues, It’s probably a bigger evil, recently when it got decently warm I couldn’t open the roof any more. Then found out that the fuse 7 was defective, after exchanges it went through again, then I had a buddy who works at MB read the thing out, that probably didn’t work because on the control board conductor tracks for the pins 58 and 75 had burned down. The buddy meant the exchange of the control board was not risked, because the So it was, I ordered with my son a used control board from the internet, built in the same result. By now, I have recognized a Tw. short circuit for the pin 58, but I continue to tap without detail circuit diagrams in the dark. 1.) Has someone made similar experience, 2.) Can someone give me a source for the plans. so far first, thank you in advance greeting GBD

  • a new one introduces itself SLK 250

    Hello together, I bought the second car for my wife yesterday, a 2012-er SLK250 with a great equipment, we once had 4 SLK, two 170 and two 171 and I have to say the R172 has made itself, the SLK has grown up, the interior is very modern and successful, through the panoramic roof it brings a lot of light into the interior and is not so oppressive anymore, so absolutely top !!! We had between now several BMW convertible and also the E-Class as W207 but the SLK is absolutely enough for us to have fun and driving pleasure, of course when I first drive with my Q and then change into the SLK it is already a change of habitation but that fits. I think I will certainly have to ask the one or other question here, because my wife and I have to find ourselves first again… First question comes already, we have the mirror packet so electrically foldable without memory, if we put the reverse gear in, the mirror should also abse nken, but he doesn’t, I’ve already rolled the operating instructions but without any result, everything I’ve tried to say… Look forward to help, greeting, Tom

  • R172 jerks when stopping “e.g. at a traffic light”

    I own a R172 200 compressor, automatic, 46,000 KM, BJ 2012. As I was slowly approaching a traffic light today, the car started to jerk about 1-2 seconds before stopping before it was standing at running engine. (no start/stop used) Nothing happened when starting – it started normally. Automatic is usually normal when switching. No jerking or hard shifting curtains. That happened to me a few times today. However, not every stop. H at someone’s experience with it or the same problem found with his SLK? Besides, I also noticed today that the car (he apparently has a sound generator as standard) generates “misfires” between 20 and 50 kilometers per hour in the sport course. Can he even “create false ignitions, such as the Audi Quattro TT” or is the generator only responsible for the dull engine sound? These “misfires” have never occurred to me to city traffic before. At higher speeds. In ECO he doesn’t do any. Is that actually normal? Would be great if someone could give me some advice. Greetings Squasfly

  • Mercedes-Benz SLK R171 Key Change Case

    Hi, all right. Unfortunately, I only found something about the old keys about the SuFu and not about the chrome keys of Mercedes. With both keys unfortunately all keys are broken in some corner and Mercedes itself says that you can’t do anything about it. Instead, I was offered to pay 220€ per new key. So I wondered if you can’t just change the case (eBay = 30€) and have seen a video to upgrade (click). The upgrade should take place from the key here to this key shell Hope someone has already had experience with it and can help me. MfG alex_mlk

  • Peugeot 406 2.2 HDI transmission leaks (handshift)

    HI folk, need help: My Peugeot 406 HDI (2.2 liters, manual circuit) Year of construction 2003, KM Stand 177.000 has a new incontinence problem: the gearbox seems to lose oil. Anyway, the gearbox in the left area is wet, the car smells like oil (even in the interior !). The Peugeot workshop said that the oil would probably come from a defective Simmerring to the drive axle. Now I have (for logistical reasons, I have a free workshop of indirect proximity) the question Sim The oil that can be seen on the left side of the transmission is clean. So no engine oil. Strangely enough, the plastic/rubber hose below the air filter box is also oily – also here is clean, clear oil. Odorously, I also do not type on engine oil. Someone a tip where the sauce could come from? Or could it be oil residues that are still before the dew. I’ve already told the free workshop that an engine wash would have been helpful…would that have been done? But I have to make sure that the switchgear is tight…..the stench is annoying, and at some point when there is no more oil in it, the gears will dissolve…. Functions are doing well at the moment. Thanks in advance for qualified tips! Greeting Andy

  • enormous consumption 407 SW 2.2 170 FAP

    Hello for help, I drive a 407 SW 2.2 170 Biturbo, year 06.2007, and have already the second time the problem that my consumption after changing from winter tires (originally bought from Peugeot, 215/17 on aluminium without tire pressure sensor; not available) on summer tires original Peugeot with tire pressure sensor, the consumption suddenly goes from approx. 8l/100Km in winter mixed operation to 12l/100Km. The consumption indicator also goes during sliding operation, when push off not below 3.5 L/100 un d with normal acceleration I have fast times 20 – 22 L on the display. Furthermore, when rolling in column traffic increases at approx. 50 – 60 km/h in the 4.od.5. gear without that I give gas the display also always from approx. 5.1 L up to 12 L. There it stays then and I can follow on the tank clock as the fuel becomes less. The problem by the way only occurs with operating warm engine. As soon as I come over about 70° water temperature I notice for approx. 1 minute an unround motor run in the Stan d or a “swallowing” of the engine when I’m accelerating. Then everything is OK again, except for the consumption, which increases by 50%. At the idle speed of approx. 850-1000 rpm, depending on whether AC OFF/ON does not change anything. Last time I was in the workshop, however, they could not find anything and did not make a software update for safety reasons. So the problem was also solved. However, it can’t be that after every winter exchange on summer tyres and d amit activation of tire pressure control, need a SW update. Can anyone help me here the ev. also had the same problem? I am grateful for any serious advice. LG, JoeCool68

  • 406 Coupe, buy advice but please do the right thing.

    Moin, I looked at a nice Peugeot 406 Coupe earlier, rather by chance. A search on the Internet brought about practically nothing about this model except “adventure and pretty”. All I read about purchase advice is “you have to be clear about the high spare parts prices and maintenance costs”. What I would like to have is a technical purchase advice. Where are the weak points, where do I have to look for rust, what suspension parts like, what will be really expensive everywhere. is only to read that the Coupezpecifish parts are more expensive, but what are these parts that sometimes break in everyday life? (car body parts are covered in the majority of (Un)cases by the insurance.) What I can collect is: – Exhaust probably only a few years durability – non-specific electrical problems (WAS?) – Brakes probably worn out quickly Does the newer 2.2l petrol engine already have a control chain? Thank you!

  • Wimpering in idle/coupling cracks/vibrations

    Evening people! And that’s…My 406 Break 2.0 Gasoline EZ: 12/2003 has funny modifications. 1.) The clutch has a slight Widerstand, which occurs at the end of one-coupling path. It feels like a “knack”. This occurs from time to time, especially when driving underboard. 2.) In idle, clutch is not pressed, whims/mistakes it very quietly. When the clutch is kicked, it is gone. In addition, when the switch lever moves back and forth in idle, no matter if the dare n runs or doesn’t– that’s what he’s been doing since today. I took some pictures of the gearbox in the appendix. Since light oil drips out… looks for itself.. could that be the fault? (the climate compressor also oils, looks even on the picture, is that bad?)

  • Contaminants caused by stupidity

    So, then I have to get rid of something. I was on the way last Friday near Mainz and wanted to go towards Saarbrücken. So I was on the A60 (I think I) and had to switch to the A671 (I think I). On the A60 is a descent that leads to the A671. What surprised me is that on the 2 lane A60 the traffic flowed to the left and stopped to the right. I thought “Mist, traffic jam on the A671. So nice to the right and when I came to the descent I had to be very surprised. The 2!!! traily descent was completely full on the right track and the left track which flows after about 600 meters in the right track was totally orphaned. Thus, due to the inability of some drivers a traffic jam on the A60 was created which did not have to be. So I passed all the left, behind me still 2-3 cars and so I drive and see front a Mercedes convertible with one I think in the mid-sixties. He discovers me in the rear mirror and pulls nicely into the middle. but the good gentleman had seen me and stayed nice in the middle. Of course I got angry and had to evade almost to the left in the ditch to pass by. I looked over but he ignored me nicely. Well, after initial trouble I didn’t get upset anymore, because despite the “blockade” I probably saved myself 50 cars in front of me. Nevertheless, it’s still an un I will also be looking at it when, for example, I pass through construction sites to the front and then arrange myself, but that’s exactly how it should be done. It’s very bad if the track ends on the right and all of the tracks are placed on the left 500 meters before, everything is free on the right and then it stands on the back. So pass on the right (as it is allowed under certain conditions) and then put in the front. you will not always be allowed in the same way, but if you look nicely or have already pushed the car over that the other one can not block one anymore the mesmerizing approach to the picture of the highway of Google Maps: A: 2 lane A60 B: 2 lane feeder that ends at C: in a lane and at D: in the A671 flows From B to C all stood on the right lane and on the left everything was free…

  • What were those people who bought a new Cadillac in Germany in the 1970s?

    Cadillac has officially sold cars here in Germany since World War II. I’m just thinking about who decided to buy a new Cadillac here at the time? Unfortunately, I didn’t find a historical price list, so I have to speculate. Price 1973 Cadillac de Ville in USA about $7000 For import and customs you can certainly beat another 40% on it, so you end up at about $10,000 at the then price of 2,70 DM so about 27,000 DM. For the same G eld one would have got a Mercedes 280 SE, of course at that time ex factory without electric window lifters, without automatic, without climate and without leather seats.http://www.meinbenz.de/price lists/w116_price list0373.htm Advantage Cadillac: large 7.7 liters V8, exclusive, better equipped Advantage Mercedes: easier to park in cities, better suited for BAB. Does anyone know registration numbers from then? What were those for people who had the money and who had dared to have such a car i n Germany to buy new?
