  • B220, JG 2013, Update Naviger and Radio Conversion

    Hello I bought in Nov. 2013 a B220 incl. navigator, which also includes radio and telephone. Mercedes can no longer offer an update of the navigation device due to the age. Furthermore, in Switzerland for some radio stations the VHF was switched off, so that these can only be heard via DAB. However, my navigator contains a radio device with VHF, FM etc and no DAB. My questions: is really so that I can no longer buy an update for my navigator or a new one Is it really the case that the adjustment would cost about 1’000.– in order to be able to listen to the radio stations switched to DAB again via FM? I live in the area of Lake Zurich. I am not interested in this kind of navigational device.

  • Thermostat – car does not reach the operating temperature

    Good day, my existing problem is with the Mercedes Cla car built in 2015. It’s about the car having coolant fluid loss. As a result, we expanded the thermostat and saw that this has a crack. So we replaced the thermostat. For this we had built the suction down to get to the thermostat. Now to the problem: Since the new thermostat is installed, there is no loss. The problem is that the car is not meh After I have noticed this, we have aired the system but that didn’t do anything. If I run the car and the heating is off, I reach the 90 degrees. As soon as I drive and the heating is up, the temperature varies between 40 and 80 degrees. After the airing I am also on the highway, at full load 200-220 km/h in 5th and 6th gear the temperature has remained at 90 degrees, but is after egg What could be the problem here? Ps: I didn’t use an original Mercedes thermostat but a replica. Thank you in advance.

  • Marketing idiotes at Mercedes

    Just discovered the new C-Class on the Mercedes USA website. Why can the Americans have a ECHTEN C300 while the marketing-sworn C280 is driving around with us? Why can a 5.5l in the USA be called 550 and does not have to drive around as a marketing-technical castrated 500s? The German marketing force of Mercedes belongs to the moon shot, and that is without return ticket!

  • The Hammer: Only Tempo 162 …

    By chance and by the way, I heard today on the radio:The Eu plans to allow from 2013 all new vehicles only regulated up to a maximum speed of 162 km/h. . . . Do you then still need a potent MERCEDES, BMW, or AUDI ??? or does it then also a cheap, well equipped “rice bowl” – or the ancient used ??? is thereby – finally – also our car industry (every 4th workplace . . .) “destroyed” ??

Did other car brands stand for choice and why did you decide against them? I hope for a few answers and a huge thank you already!! Greetings Christina

  • Example of calculation: R 320

    Dear forum members, I’m thinking about getting an R 320 CDi and I’m in the middle of my financing. Is the following bill correct or am I making a mistake??? So: 1 year of used R 320 with approx.20 tkm is about 30% below list price; i.e. list price 65 T = 45 T. (incl. VAT). I’m a freelancer “on the side” and I usually transfer the VAT to the tax office; i.e. I can make these claims to the tax office for VAT. Ergo: 45 T . x 0.81 = 36.45 T. The car goes into my operating assets and I write it for 4 years (9.114 Euro x 4). Since I also use the car privately and do not want to keep a travel book, I have to tax 1% of the new car value as monetary value advantage (650 Euro per month = approx. 160 Euro at my tax rate). However, I will not have to pay this 160 Euro because my annual turnover is very burdened by the purchase of the car (operating expenses?) . I also save taxes because i After 4 years, the car is depreciated and I can sell it “favorably” to a friend. He could sell the car, if he wants, immediately more expensive (this time with VAT). Is a milk girl bill described above or do I meet with it the object retention? Thank you for the feedback, Minika

  • Save the Star

    As a big fan of the Mercedes-Benz brand, I have been suffering with it for a long time. I have meanwhile also seven Mercedes in the best condition among other cars (W114,W123,2xW126,W201,W203,R170), which are almost all in lupenrein original condition or are on their way there. With the launch of the W204, another MB tradition has now also landed in the trash can of the brand’s history: the brand identity and recognition. Mercedes limousines have always worn their Mercedes star stol z on the hood. And what happened with the W204? For the first time ever this tradition is broken shamefully, as the avant-garde line is known. The integrated star in the grill reminds me of the unfortunate SEC conversions of my childhood, which in the 80s and 90s have spoiled numerous Mercedes limousines. Mercedes does not need such an ex-factory proletarian tuning at all. My interest in the C63 AMG is abruptly over, because he must not wear his star either, where he has been with limousines for over 100 years. Badly bad, and Mercedes is still proud of it, everywhere in the advertisements, on the homepage and elsewhere: Classic and Elegance appear only marginally, almost as if you were ashamed of it. And otherwise only this ugly face of the avant-garde version/AMG package. The people of the future Daimler AG do not even know what is done there again. That the name “Benz” in the company name ws. is missing in the future, surprises me even no If I were in the position of the Daimler Board of Management, I would bring the already delivered vehicles to the true original state in a recall action! Because this is not original ex factory.. A call to all who see it the same way! MB, please do something!
