Hello together, have a G63 (built in June 2013) since nearly 1 1/2 years in my possession and unfortunately two recurring problems with the car. On the one hand the sliding roof whistles from a speed of about 180 km/h loud, on the other hand the steering makes during parking, shunting and narrow short loud squeaking noises. I was already several times (5 or 6x) due to both problems in the Mercedes branch, the problems were fixed every time briefly, but are i .d.R. reappeared after one to two days. A lot was done, for example, because of the pipe on the sliding roof once the roof antenna was installed, sometimes even a new reinforcement than the normal one. On the steering wheel everything was tried out with different special greases, even a new steering column got my G63… nothing helped. Also multiple contact of the NL to the plant did not bring anything, the errors are allegedly completely unknown at the plant (as with the NL itself). Are there G63 drivers or drivers of other G models with the same problem(s)? Look forward to the exchange. Best regards, flip

The whole thing I wanted to write a long time ago but well. I know it’s warm outside and the topic is not so interesting or just freezes the washing machine in spite of concentrate up to – 60 °C in winter. The error is with high probability in the cold air draught under the bonnet which leads over the hose to the nozzles. Because if I clip the hose to the nozzles from the holders and coat with steam material from the heating construction, then the penomen does not occur a uf. Maybe that would be easy but did not satisfy me visually. Inspired by a post from January 2016 in the following thread, I looked at the thing more closely.http://www.motor-talk.de/…/…-washwater-wischwasser-t5559409.html So with the limousines it is probably so that the windscreen washing system is heated over the cooling system and the whole thing is also thermostatically controlled to +30 °C. The hose to the nozzles is electrically heated and like the SWA nozzle With my W463 this outlet on the front of the SAM is the same as for the SWA nozzle heater. Actually, it would be enough to change and use a limousine hose. The hose does not fit 1:1 you have to replace the first distributor in the hose with a connector and remove the last exit. Since on the W463 no check valve is installed in the SWA I did this and one is installed in T-shape. Since that comes also in the The connection of the left nozzle has to be replaced by one of the right nozzle and exactly between both nozzles the T-piece is set with an integrated check valve. But since the SWA tank was already outside I have installed the heating of a W 210. The SWA tank must be removed because otherwise you do not come to the pump connections. The grip of the cooling water connection is a part of the W210 and thus the cooling water e The pumps of the limousines are different here they have an additional 8-mm connection. Since my pump was only renewed not too long ago, I bought a used pump from a limo and only replaced the pump housing. The suitable cooling fluid hoses are also from the W210. Since the retrofitting there were no problems again. There are also pictures of it but I have to take them in the loop. See and work.

…it sounded strange in my G: for some time now I heard a clear swell noise while braking and accelerating. I meant to be able to locate the passenger side, but was not quite easy when driving. Somewhere down to the right. Tank retired, because regardless of the level of filling this swell noise was always there. Almost like a washing machine. I screwed up various flaps and lids from the interior and in the engine room; everything unobtrusive. After a night with frost discovered i icicles at the lower FZ-Rand, about middle, directly under the door. The sound was gone, so the water was frozen. As a result, in the garage, armed with spotlights, I examined the thing very closely. There are 3 rubber stoppers there in the longitudinal direction of the FZ. There a little bit of water dripped out. After I had pulled one out of it the whole water came out: about 1 – 2 liters. So people: also an offroader must Pippi. On demand in the MB NL: there was the following explanation: apparently There is a channel from the rain channel on the roof into this cavity. When the small holes in the rubber plugs are dirty, the rain water cannot drain. I’m curious about your comments and experiences. Many greetings, Roland

Moin, I have not ordered the heated windshield because of the ticking of the preheater, but notice now that in autumn/winter this would still have made sense because of their tendency to install it. Like chance, I first got a really great stone in the windshield on my last motorway tour, therefore the question: If the windshield has to be changed anyway, a relatively uncomplicated exchange goes through a heated windshield, because the cables possibly. anyway or basically are pulled with all vehicles and then only the switch would have to be retrofitted? Thank you in advance for every information!

I thought it might be interesting to start a thread here, where we as cube lovers, G-drivers, Mercedes customers and potential new customers of a G class, sometimes document our change requests. I am very sure that someone from MB reads this here …. maybe one or the other finds its way. So, I’m going to start what I would like for the future version of a G class (e.g. if I buy my wife a G so that she can get my nic Ht more often has to drive ) Series: – 120 liter tank – HUD (Heads Up Display) – Compass integrated in the mirror (as with the Jeep) – Death angle assistant – 20 years rust guarantee Optional: – Tyre pressure system a la 6×6 (also activated with the “Overhead Panel”) – Extra tank with 30 liters ( = 150 liters) – split rear door (2 doors) – Can holder driver side – small storage compartment (A4) driver side below the sun visor So, now you’re on!

Hi there, I came over from the Gl Forum because I’ve been fascinated by the G-Class for many years. I drive a GL myself and love to glide the quiet way there. Since I find the G-Class but more beautiful and solid, I might want to change. I drove the car as well as 270/400 and 350cdi and was, as the only criticism, always the suspension comfort too hard. For this reason I wanted to know if maybe softer shock absorbers can build around the whole “ge Have you got a few tips… My favorite would be the G 500 (heart decision) or the 320 CDI (head decision) Are there actually differences between the two in the chassis? Thank you…

Hello Fan-Gemeinde, come out of the house today and unfortunately it has to find out that at night both headlights were completely removed and stolen. We live in a quiet residential area in a dead end street, the car stands under the carport on our property. There you do not expect something like that. Does everything look like order theft, since one could use the headlights. Question in the round: Am I an individual case, or do similar experiences also exist elsewhere? Greeting df6900

Good morning dear community, I’ve been driving several SUVs for a few years now and a Porsche Cayenne GTS that has to leave in the middle of the year. Now I’ve fallen in love with a G63 that I’ve seen by chance in Cologne. Now I’m so G class infected 🙂 Can any of you experts tell me some experiences about the G 63? In particular, I’m interested: – how are the wind noises in the G at 160-180 – there really is no removable AHK -fin the color Designo Magno extremely cool, but should be super sensitive? -which color would you prefer -how is the realistic consumption Thank you for helping Gruss

Hello everyone! I would like to buy a new used one this year. Unfortunately I still have no idea what it should be. I am currently driving a small Mazda 323 C IV BG from ’94, which is however too small for me, therefore only limited long distance travel suitable and will probably last for up to 4-5 years due to rust on all parts. In addition an old Mercedes MB100D. It is indeed huge and I can (must) repair everything myself (also head seal) The thing is amazingly cross-country, but it has only 75hp and a cruising speed of about 100 kmh, at which you have to catch fresh air on every stop with tinitus on your ears… is therefore not suitable for motorways. What I am looking for now is a car that suits me. A car that I can drive for the next many years, with which I can also drive to Spain or Italy, (and this as comfortable as possible with reasonable speed over the e Autobahn), and that even in the terrain and in the snow still comes from the spot. The consumption is first of all secondary. Also a registration as a truck would be nice. What do you think? Does the G-Class do what as the only car, to drive with it daily to work and also sometimes far away into the holiday? And is it at all economical, if one needs the off-road accessibility usually only for fun?

Good evening dear G-meinde, 2 new things confuse me with the meanwhile 1,500 km driven G350BT: Fuel reserve: Here a yellow and later a red tank symbol appears when the fuel is running down. However, the remaining range is no longer displayed. At Discovery came the warning light, but the residual range was further displayed. Can you set this somewhere with the G? If not, how much liters do you have with yellow or red?Standheizung: It is my first standheizu ng in a car, it warms the interior perfectly. I thought, however, that the cooling water is also preheated and thus avoids the unfavorable warm-up phase. However, the water temperature indicator stands at 0. Is this because the sensor sits in a place to which the warm water reaches only when the engine runs or is the cooling water not warmed at all? Servus
