Moin. I would like to free my older sister’s desert ship from coarse rust. She loves her “camel” and I want to do her something good. It is a W463 from 04/1990, 6 yl., 238T km, silver, ram protection, afterwards equipped with black leather, a new roof including original sliding roof was probably installed. I have a few simple disassembly questions: How to dismantle 1. the thick decorative strip at hip height 2. the rear lights 3. external handles at the doors 4. external rear door handle (d 5. this black roof strip around the “rain channel” 6. Running board and bar at the lower edge of the entrance a. Are there any problems with the installation of the door handles regarding the central locking? Look forward to answers. A book (“How do I help myself” would I only buy if all the above mentioned points were included. Thank you very much. JH

Hello together, the model year 2016 is from September 2016 past. However, it was a year of major changes in engine technology. Euro 6 has entered the G. Both the petrol engines and the diesel vehicles had a relatively large change. The biggest change was probably experienced by the G500 and for the first time got a specially built engine concept for the G (M176), which is only used in the G (the closely related engine group M177 and 178 will be used in the area of the Now I would be interested to know if you have had positive experiences throughout. If you read the forum across, all the owners of a new G (diesel like gasoline) seem to be very satisfied. I would be particularly interested if there were problems with the new engines with the cooling and the experiences with the new front bumper. Has the consumption improved significantly compared to the previous engines? Thank you in advance greeting Tom

Hello everybody, does one of you drive a G63 with AT tyres on 20 inch rims? Which rims and tyres do you have? And did you have to adjust something for this? Thank you!

Hello G specialists, I need your help briefly, can you tell me what the difference between G55 and the G500 of year 2005 is? It’s the same engine installed the M113 or not? Is besides the PS number other great features? What are the maintenance costs? Can you please enlighten me

Hello together! Admittedly: I’m a lot early. My very first cube comes in the very next time and so I tried the forum with regard to wheel-tire combinations. I don’t want to look for suitable combinations only in September, when the run starts on the dealers… Therefore my question: the thickness comes from the factory with 22-thick weights and I will store them for sure. Which wheels did you have good experiences with? Same question for tyres? h come from the Rhineland – so rather temperate latitudes. For a few tips from experienced G-ler I would be very grateful… Greetings & Happy Weekend Paule

Dear ladies and gentlemen, Unfortunately, there were no stepping boards on my car on the side, but I wanted them very much and would therefore upgrade you! Does anyone happen to have them for sale? For a 5-door 300GE 1990? Is it difficult to install them afterwards? Are the holes available as standard? Thank you in advance! LG Danijel

Hello…who can give me a tip? Seat heating and ventilation from my G 63 Bj 2017 I can only switch on from time to time.The problem is only on the driver’s side….Passenger side can be switched on at any time…..Seat heating can often be switched on before starting…but also there is not always…functions now and then……….Who can give me a tip??? is the seat heating and ventilation on the driver’s side supplied with a separate relay????or possibly plug-in connection on the Sit z???? Cable breakage???or the switches both a wobble contact??? or or…..who knows the problem and who can possibly help me???

Good morning together, Has someone in the forum ever exchanged seats in the G? Specifically, I would like to exchange 22 seats with my G63 bj without ventilation etc for seats from a G63 bj 23 with appropriate function. MB is very reserved with a corresponding offer.

The cooling water thermostat is defective with my G270CDI. According to Mercedes, this one has the number A 612 200 01 15 and is no longer available.On the internet, I only find the number A 612 200 00 15. Does anyone know if this number fits or where I could get the right thermostat?

I’m doing an extra corrosion protection thread here, in which everyone can contribute their experiences. It’s certainly interesting for readers and for decision-making. Whether Mike Sanders, Fluid Film etc. doesn’t matter, the main thing is info who, how, what, where did and why. Copy from another thread, post from me Something else about Mike Sanders yes or no …. I decided to have this done (G new, no winter), I already have a few points about it. It’s definitely better than before to wait at first glance. But what about the window frames, door handles, door edges, groin fixtures, rear door below, brake lines, stepping boards, lamp screws, shock absorbers suspensions, screw connections, tail plates and the felt 50 other things… so my sanderer is now clearly better or perfect. The material is heated to 100 degrees. and then injected or applied with a surface nozzle. One can imagine as layman something already, that actually not so much liters are consumed, is indeed efficient. I gave the order for maximum precaution and in the end are now 25 kg of the stuff in my car. Little is somehow different… I can now only speak for myself, but that was worth it. Later derusting with the follow-up costs go into the thousands… Would something like this be offered ex factory, also with an extra charge option, I I’m sure many would make the order cross…. And it’s definitely worth it. My MB workshop manager, who knows all G’s, said that this was a top decision. Rust guarantee to or from, so the topic is definitely by… The company. I chose is specialized in MB restoration and builds up the offers modularly. You also have images of G’s, who cares about it, just search. I mean, the impression corresponds for me. on for a company that knows how to do something right. I don’t want Sanders station, which is listed, somewhere in the backyard but builds VW buses, triumph etc., I want one that knows where to do what to do and then screws up the car properly again.Schairer classic I have still taken pictures of a G, which is there for “treatment”, he is not yet so old, I mean it is a G320 CDI, since I have already come to ponder what a b work was “made like that”… Actually, I was a bit shocked when I looked at the then closer, door handles accumulated, partly heavy rusty, the fenders all rusty, all had to be sanded, sheets partly rusted through, reassembly, the screws for the door handle fixing are garbage, all corroded, partly rusted and could not be solved any more etc.
