Moinsen, one question only indirectly to the G: I have a boat with a 2.2L diesel engine, Lima makes 80A at 12V. I would like to be able to switch on and off the minus cable from the engine to the starter battery. I think of a Nato bone. Only there are quite a few. The most common is from Hella, who is allowed to withstand curatively 1000A at 24V, permanent load is given with 50A. Can I take it? And, could I also take it for my G270? I regularly forget to remove the ignition key. before, so my batteries like to die the early deep discharge death (I drive the only one or two weeks). Greetings Carsten

Moin moin, I have a little problem with my cube again after a long time…. it has crept in since 10,000km the following. Every time the car is cold it runs round… or does not really hang on the gas… Start and so on everything is unproblematic… when I then start slowly, and he has reached the 30kmh in the village and hangs on the accelerator, Then man notices that he runs round. I try to express it with letters: Quasi makes the engine sound not wuuuuuuuuuuuuu and he drives normally at the speeds for which I press on the gas but when he has reached the speed he makes wuuu….wuuu….wuuu…wuuu This of course only notices at low speed. If I drive faster e.g. on the federal road or so everything is fine. Even if it is warm, it is immediately gone…. When I noticed that the first time he started the next day no more… we read out mistakes. d then camshafts and crankshaft sensor implausible values and additionally still accelerator sensor sporadic. I then switched cams and crankshaft sensor and it immediately jumped again. And also ran since. Only this wuuuuuuuu wuuuuu is always there when it is cold. Can this be connected with the accelerator sensor? Or does someone have another idea? Greetings from the north year 2005 and 160.000km

Moin together, yesterday picked up the cube from (my) first inspection. Loose 1.157,23€ (all gross) were to be paid without having done anything special. 11,5l engine oil (á 32,78€ = 376,97€) were also included, 2 filter inserts á 54,75€. The windscreen wipers should be a snapper for around 150,0€. I did not make it, because I found the gilded windscreen wiper on a silver car did not fit. Will buy me again the one from Bosch for 19,00€ / pair if necessary. mostly disturbed that I was told the “feel hardened”. I mounted the windshield wipers in August ’14, there should be nothing hardened, shouldn’t it? Take off? Happy to hear about your experiences! Best regards! Lars

Hello together, actually I’m rather on the road in the BMW forum, get in touch with you today with a concern. I’ve already caught my father several times looking at mobile for older G-classes. Since I know my father, he drives cheaply shot W124ers. He certainly does not feel bad financially, but I think in his life he would never spend more than 7-8k EUR for himself for a car. I, however, as a spoiled son, have of course directly z u my 18th from him get a thick 3rd BMW… Since I have saved something by now, but have no idea of cars at all I wanted to ask you, can you get a well-kept G class for about 30k EUR? I don’t know about the vehicle at all, have also no acquaintances in the circle of friends who have their focus there. Therefore the question to you .. makes sense to look in the budget for vehicles at all? Which model series and engines are reliable? W Or should I keep it the same? Not that the car is only in the workshop at the end and we have to put in another 10k EUR. Oh yes, what do you think about upgrading to gas? Are there special engines that are well suited for this? Would I be very pleased about some information!

Dear G-meinde, after many years of enthusiasm for the Mercedes G-model I finally decided to buy a G. Since I want to keep the vehicle for a long time it should become a new car, which I order as desired. I tested the model G350 a weekend and am enthusiastic. The performance is completely enough because in my eyes speeds over 160 with the G do not really bring joy. For fast driving I have other vehicles. As I said, I want to keep and use the car in the long term. I live in Munich within the ring. Drive approx. 10,000 KM a year, only short distance plus holiday trips. I then asked the MB seller to adjust the offer to the 500s. The price difference is adjusted for equipment approx. 10,000 EUR (I assumed more). EIn familiar has now told me that the sound of the 500er with sports exhaust could interfere with longer rides (sports package is a must for me for optical reasons) and the torque of the diesel is more pleasant in everyday life. However, I am very interested in a dignified driving noise on track. The man drove a year 500er and now the 350. Also the consumption of the V8 in urban traffic is just under 30 liters. Is that really so? Can the sports exhaust be switched on and off at the 500er at the push of a button? Is the adaptive F ahrwerk a must for comfortable driving? I would definitely like to order a new G (463). ONLY WELL??? LG from the snowy Munich

Hello, maybe someone can give me a tip, where I can get a circuit diagram? Or also a tip to my problem: Have installed original ZV, no control unit or in the driver’s door in the encoder, 2 switching units in passenger door and tailgate. Green control lamp extra left in the instrument unit. Current pulses also arrive in the receivers, but does not switch. If the receiver is controlled separately, close / open the receiver directly on the blue and white cable. nger. I am grateful for every tip. Greeting Stefan

Hello, in other threads here in the forum there is already such a thread for various brands/models. Since I have been observing and archiving the numbers for the G-Class since last year, I thought I would provide you with the processed data. The data basis is the KBA with the monthly new registrations. > https://www.kba.de/…/monthl_new registrations_node.html Unfortunately, only data are available, separated by petrol and diesel. The subdivision by type, e.g. 350er or 400d or 500s or 63s is not available, at least I did not find any tables. If there is interest in this, I would like to provide you with a monthly update here in the thread as soon as the KBA figures are available. In addition, because for the G-Class not quite unimportant, the registration numbers in the USA. >https://www.goodcarbadcar.net/mercedes-benz-g-class-sales-figures/ Of course only for the petrol companies, because the diesels are not sold in the USA. Here are the numbers n but regularly only available with two / three months delay. If you have additions, suggestions or questions, only too. Greetings Andreas

Moin I bought an iCarsoft V3.0. The reason was to read out errors without having to drive to MB. I also read in the description that the sliding roof can be set. Another important reason was to learn the new injectors. Now I got the device and connected it. Error reading works well. But unfortunately the device does not recognize the VIN Also the possibilities are not given to learn the injectors. “No support with this Fa It will be displayed instead. Although it should be designed for my G. Also lt list. Does anyone else have this device? Or does your other possibilities? My G is a W463 Bj 01 with 400CDI motor

Hello, vlt already had the problem of you: G 400 cdi 130tkm bj 2001 The automatic transmission does not switch up (presumably it goes into the emergency run) but strangely not always and I have not found any regularity yet. In addition, there is no new start. Sometimes it does not switch back any more however. Tempomat also does not work but only if said problem occurs when everything is done also the cruise control works. terset everything works I switch back to normal still nothing goes. I hope a change of the board and flushing can help. Or does someone have a different guess/experience? The board costs only 130 euros, can you give me a guide value what total cost comes to me/could?

…for hardly any car there are so many possibilities for tire / rim combinations as for the G class. I just bought a 20 year old model and the reared tires were not registered. In the letter only 205/R16 104S were noted, which is today almost impossible to buy. So from the MB dealer, who handed me the current official G class tyre report without any calculation. (There it says that one has to have this note stamped by the dealer, that the New tyres with desired size 265/70 R 16 on standard rim 7.5Jx16H ET 63. Please note that the wheel box width is sufficient. After that, I am groomed from the tyre assembly with GPS control to the TÜV and have found that the speed indicator now fits exactly (the speed indicator must not be too low!). At the TÜV the rims and tyres as well as the wheel box were checked, because of the speedometer adjustment I have the TÜV examiner for test drive with GPS Invited, he waved off and carried out the change acceptance for 41,80€. TÜV slips with the vehicle papers, most registration offices do NOT enter the modified tyres into the papers any more, if necessary consult with his registration office. For extreme special sizes (e.g. 285/75 R 16) one must try with the “fulda report” his luck. Greeting Thomas
