  • Steering wheel possible with G 270cdi retrofitting?

    Even if it comes across strangely: I don’t like these multifunction steering wheels. No matter what shape, but keys have lost nothing (yes, yes, I know I have this opinion almost exclusively). Is it possible to mount a steering wheel without buttons but with airbag (it should fit from the mounting steering column) and to get a solution for the operation of the on-board computer? I would think of keypads on the back that could be placed there. Or quite without action, only if the i Need to connect a keypad, too. And of course the ABE should be preserved or entered. Doofe idea? Good slide! Carsten

  • Ventilation grid with arrow print !?

    Hello together My G63 has some kind of arrow-shaped prints on the ventilation grids (on the dashboard), looks really SCH…/cheap, see photos. A spare part has been ordered from my garage, but looks the same. Do you have that with your G too? Is this really standard…? Does someone know remedy for this problem? If not available please specify model and vintage Thank you in advance Donnergott

  • “Protection” of the rear of the front seats from child’s feet….

    Funny topic, but annoying. Especially small children have to push their shoes against the front seats (is not an S-Class) – and in winter it’s called mud and salt on the leather. Has anyone found a good solution for this? Sometimes you see in taxis such plastic protection cover? LG, Max

  • Pre-gloss

    Dear G-Friends, at my G, 270er cdi, EZ 10/04, I am watching: I start the machine. Everything is “normal”. Then, shortly after start or later, the pre-glow spiral lights up again in the instrument cluster and disappears again after a few kilometers. What’s up? A defective glow candle or defective relay? Thank you.

  • Tax 250gd Wolf

    Hello municipality, has someone experience how to allow a Mercedes 250 GD Wolf so that the car tax becomes cheaper? My tax office told me that a registration as a truck is not possible because it is a convertible. Does anyone know anything else? Possibly tractor? Thank you very much for your reply. Greetings

  • Important and less important accessories for the G

    There are still accessories for the G – not necessarily from MB – which one or the other has procured for his G. If there is a nice place for it, so that it can stay on board constantly, we can demonstrate it here. Here for me the best use of the rear drink holder and the footroom in front of the middle seat, which is never occupied anyway. In the black aluminium bottle is the fresh water for the espresso in between. You can’t treat yourself to anything else … OpenAirFa n

  • 2020 G63 – immediately rockfall / crack in the disc

    Moin, I’m just going to ask: I’ve had the cube for 1.5 weeks (2020 model) and was on the highway yesterday when POCK made it. A small stone blow that after a few seconds became a big crack, which now runs from the very top to the bottom. Directly to Mercedes, is probably a casco damage etc. p.p. The question is, because this seems to be normal with the G-models, that the disk is very vulnerable and actually not highway/road at all Is it not rather a production error or a guarantee case?! Do you have experience values? I am not really concerned with the amount of the damage to be paid, but much more about the principle, since I felt yesterday’s statement at MB already a little brazen. Considering the vehicle value and also in view of the still young vehicle age (1.5 weeks old)

  • with G500 (Bj2005) 3 years in Africa – spare parts tips

    Servus dear Fomamies, from August our beloved G goes to Africa for the next few years. A G500 from 2005 with currently 75000km. Technical conversion (carriage, additional tank,etc.) by ORC has taken place. The camping interior installation will make a company in Cape Town. Large customer service + transmission flushing (incl. filter, seal, intermediate plug) still follows here in Munich. A Mercedes master still instructs me in his old not needed star diagnosis C3 tool, so that I in the bush possibly an ode With the help of a screwdriver at Mercedes in Gaborone, Francistown, Windhoek or Joburg or another bush workshop, I will be able to continue running the cart. Air filter, fuel filter, oil filter, various fuses/lamps, windscreen wiper blades I will certainly put on the parts list. What else would make sense to take along? We will rewind about 30,000km down there in the next 3-4 years. Maybe still air mass meters and water pump? Thanks for your inputs Dear Greetings Tom
