Good evening together, as already announced in the thread “G 350 BT really so bad?”, I bought a 4 month old presenter, just that G 350 BT. After a week of use I gradually get closer to the operation of the many extras, although there is still a lot to learn and try out. I recently had a hard drive navi in the Porsche 997S, but I did not use it for the Iphone after purchasing the Navigon app. The Command Navi seems to be similarly moderate, wi e that of Porsche. But maybe I’m just standing on the hose and you can help me: I want to stand constantly on the navigation screen: – the GPS speed – how far it is to the next junction – how far it is to the goal – the time of arrival that is always adjusted to the speed – the permissible maximum speed All points, which are natural with the smartphone apps. In the command I only have a window to display under route for arrival time u nd rest-km found, which almost completely covers the screen. Can it be true that you can’t display the above information permanently? From the beginning of the year there is probably a command with the traffic live system of TomTom for some DB vehicles. I only found that this is not available in the G-Class (why?). Does anyone know if it can be retrofitted at least? I found a qualitatively very bad you-tube video “link car smartphone mirroring” in which the Iphone screen mirrored on the command, but it doesn’t show how to get it. Does anyone know that? Thanks and Servus, Jonny

Moin together! It has been dealt with from time to time, but not really in detail, so I dare to ask the Gretchen question again: G350 Bluetec or G500?? I drive in the year 30,000km plus X, the fuel costs are quite important to me, but not so important to me that they would basically exclude the 500er. I would like to keep the new G in the long run, let’s say the next 10 years. So also the topics durability and repair vulnerability are for me Very important. Rightful smooth running, durability and permeability of the 500s? Please also give me an info if you have own experience values regarding consumption and repairs at the 350s and/or 500s. One will definitely, the question is: Which one? Therefore my question to you: Which would you choose and why?

Hello together, I’ve been interested in a used G with diesel, optionally G 350 turbodiesel or G 300 turbodiesel for a long time! But if you look through the ads on the internet, it’s noticeable that almost every G350 already has an exchange engine, partly after not even 100 tkm… That can’t really be true, can it?!? Can someone report his personal experiences here? Am really thinking about whether it doesn’t have to be a G 320, but I wanted a G 320. Not really, wg. fuel consumption, torque, etc… Can anyone report a personal comparison here as well? When the G 350 was up to date, there were tuning offers with charging air cooler, which had 3.5 liters then about 160 hp. Has anyone gained experience with this? Does this tuning reduce the machine’s life even more? Is this tuning still offered today? Questions about questions…

Dear community, after 3 attempts I would like to make it this time. So far the decision for Defender and Discoyery (now 80000km without defects!) was made. The G is to be leased for 4 years, then to take it privately and keep it. In the search for experience reports I had to find out now that – in contrast to Landrover – there are relatively few forum contributions to it. Most I found here. After reading the posts I am now quite disillusioned. Trot z of the high purchase price obviously does not get the “acquisition for life”. Reports about frequent extra-planned workshop stays, fixed KD intervals of 15000km, high customer service costs, rust formation, consumption even without terrain with moderate motorway rides over 15 liters let you be surprised whether one has not accidentally got into the forum of another brand. Therefore the provocative question, whether the 350 BT is really so bad or whether it is more about reports about Mo ntagsautos. As far as the reports recommend to take the petrol engine in order to save the workshop frustration: I don’t want a petrol engine. If you can still convince me that the G350BT is the desired dream car of this vehicle class (must pull a 3.5t trailer on holiday): – where can I find more reviews – which contract workshop in the Munich area is recommended (do not want to visit the Munich branch) I’m curious about your opinion. Thanks for this in the Vorau He’s Jonny.

Good evening dear cube friends, My cube loses cooling water. I have located the leak. The hose from the circulation pump to the charging air cooler is unfortunately leaking. I wanted to order a new hose from the friendly A4635019282. Now comes the point why I turn to you the hose is unfortunately no longer delivered by Mercedes. My question is now there is alternative where I could get this hose.

Hello, a friend of mine from Scandinavia is looking for a company that is able to direct a 89 G model in front. Tree impact center. With the dimensions of the frame is probably nothing to do with a conventional straightening bench. Greeting Henning

Moin municipality, someone can give me a guide on how to learn my radio key to the above mentioned vehicle – also a link to the relevant topic. The vehicle can be started with both (original) keys, unfortunately not open and close, except via the emergency key. For every hint in advance, thank you. Best regards, votangin

Hello together, after Cayenne and Macan there is currently the thought to buy a G. The G-Class was always the absolute favourite at MB but it just didn’t want to be. Before Corona then after all not ordered and while Corona it was not possible as many know anymore. With the used cars the prices were also completely excessive, which is currently approaching again acceptable areas. Shortly to my search, without which I have so far driven a G in my car life, it should be In addition, I think that the G400d in our latitudes is more likely to find a buyer like a V8, because the maintenance is always more expensive. Now my question about the G purchase. What do I have to pay attention to with regard to equipment? What must a G necessarily have? Currently, the heater and the night package is on the wish list and since it should become a 400d clearly a preface lift. Some ha Is there anything to do with the BJ. or the Night Package? Is there a Bj. you should avoid, or “weaknesses” on this engine/vehicle? I would be very grateful about one or the other tip. Greetings Tobi

Servus my loved ones, I have a little problem with my 91 wolf. Every now and then the lighting flickers during the ride – not inside, radio goes on normally, but the pig throwers flicker in the front. I can’t say it with the rear lights. It usually occurs after about half an hour of driving. It then flickers for 3 seconds and then goes back to normal. You have to say that it is already very cold, but whether it can be because of it …? Maybe you have ideas. Felix

Hi dear forum, my name is Christian, I am 33 years old and I come from Austria. For my family (woman and 2 girls) I want a suitable means of transportation. My driving performance is max. 5000 – 7000km a year – 95% extreme short distance (way to work is 3.5km). Terrain = 0% 😉 I want a reliable car and I am not really the screwdriver – but I don’t want to miss the luxury of the new models. Now I have quite fallen in love with the G and I am from The prices called up are a bit shocked. Usually 400CDI are offered with partly adventurous mileages of over 200,000km. At the same time 25k Euro are called for. Now I have already found out that one actually does not buy a 400 CDI DARF (control chain, transmission etc.). My question: 1.: Could I get happy with a G at all? 2.: Is a 400 CDI really a NoGo? 3.: For example – what do you think of it: http://www.willhaben.at/. ./?adId=89086599&%3B 4.: From which kilometers is a G quasi suicide? 5.: What does it look like with 270 CDI from 200,000 km? 6.: What are the most important criteria when buying? Only 1 previous owner, no trailer operation, no city car (because of gearboxes), already made with the 400 control chain, Mike Sanders or similar, service booklet complete MB – did I forget what? Price is with 30k absolutely busy evening. Thank you in advance, Ig Chris
