Hello! I drove a G 300TD/Shortly today PROBE and was NEGATIV surprised… Consumption mainly highway cutting speed 93km/h at 15,2ltr.. No full throttle only to rock there… Slightly wobbly on the VA at 100-110km/h then give itself back..easy poltern at the rear part… EZ 12/99 85tsd km 1st hand 18″ ex factory TOP condition with all EXTRAS…. Acceleration from 30/40 to 100km/h is indeed SUPER bad….from 110km/h it goes again… So besides the seat positioin has mi Is the driving characteristics better with the long..???? How does the driving difference between long/short over..? How high is the consumption…?? at the 500s…? 400s..CDI ….?? Man Which model should I buy.. or better bury my G…. I am now totally undecided… Thanks in advance for your information….

Hello, search for tips for the installation of a new servo pump in the G 270- Have bought pump, rib belt and hydraulic filter. Steering is very difficult in the stand and has a constant easy singing. Servo oil stand is ok. Master says: replace pump! Would be happy about a help/installation-perhaps guide.

Hello, I want to buy a battery charger for my G 450, and would take a CTEK. Can you please tell me which type and model is useful and the right one is ? First I wanted to order the MXS 5.0, but a colleague said that it might not work and could be too small. Thanks already in advance for your answers.

Who of you has ever changed the triangular belts of generator and air compressor/servo pump with the G500 with 4.0 V8 M176 engine (2015-18) ? I wanted to look at the condition of the two belts, but even that didn’t look so easy. From above you can see nothing, only sideways and from below you can see a bit of the belt. Whether you really have to dismantle the entire front and cooler package in order to change straps, tensioning and turning roller ? I have really found nothing on the Internet. G-russ Dennis

I would like to buy a G270 long. Price range up to 30,000 euros. Offered vehicles have KM running capacities up to 250,000km…. I would like to use the vehicle as a daily coach and once in the year 2000 km highway with 2t caravans to the south. terrain rather less. Therefore the following questions: IS the G 270 cdi Lang overhauts as a caravan towing vehicle with 2t trailer and 100km/h registration as well as 5 people in the towing vehicle to use. 100- 105 km / h he must run dynamically on the train. e do you value the lifespan of the vehicle and components such as engine and transmission?? If it was previously maintained as a “private vehicle” and regularly? I think the load will be higher than in the ML 270cdi…or!? Is the G still good with the mileage for 100,000km without which it is “waste” afterwards!? Does anyone know a guarantee-safer who still insures such a vehicle? Seriously! I drive 25,000km a year and would like to drive it 2-3 years and then sell it again. n DANK!!!!!

Hello and good evening together the left blue G is mine 🙂 I have a problem with the rear license plate It should be gone, because 1. I have already torn off number plate lights several times when descending from the roof tent 2. it unnecessarily restricts the ground clearance. Was not yet really a problem, but can still come AND 3. the crew of a vehicle in silver/blue today meant “that must be gone” “back license plate may not be attached to the right” (I did this after the left edge of the license plate must not be on the right side of the vehicle center or so) First of all, the short question: Does someone know how to attach to the G in this way? The car is an import from Switzerland. And of course there is nothing in it. The double AHK is registered. Where do I make it like this? 1. As a two-line license plate in size 250x200mm on the left at the height of the G300 lettering. best WITHOUT a lot of drilling, or as noble as possible… e.g. with a holder made of stainless steel etc.. Would I possibly attach large-area adhesively with an industrial Velcro tape. 2. One-line above the rear door as with the G Professional? I find the original holder expensive and ugly. Would build something for me. Although I still don’t know how to fix without drilling much. In addition, I exceed the height of 1,200mm, which I can only exceed if deeper attachment is not possible. 3. On the rear flap/in the spare wheel on a storage compartment, which I still want to build into this one? A disadvantage would be the cable guide in the lid of the storage compartment. Does anyone have any ideas? EDIT: Don’t know what had happened to the title either.

Hello together Please use your help again… Is there a spare wheel canister specific for the G, i.e. which can be fixed in the G spare wheel cover or in the spare wheel? Could find on the fast nothing… Most spare wheel canisters that are available will probably not be suitable – since these are in the center of the spare wheel, through the spare wheel mounting screw in the trunk. I don’t know… maybe there is also a kind of adaptor plate with e in the middle of the threaded rod which fits the G spare wheel fitting – and you could screw a normal spare wheel canister in the middle of the G spare wheel…? Thank you in advance Greetings Donnergott

I’m thinking of installing TFL. Please don’t discuss the for and against. Does anyone have an idea where they could be mounted on my vehicle From design I find it most appropriate in a line between main and fog lights. Why do I have any problems with this? See picture: At the “traditional place is not possible. There the lamp is hidden from the front bar I see now several installation locations: – Over the foggers in the bumper. But: I have a steel bumper. Drilling is and conserve is therefore somewhat more complicated than with plastic and the luminaires should possibly be removable without large holes – Before the radiator? there disturbs me the position in the airflow, the design and that I can not mount it there, because too far from the vehicle edge and too close to each other. At the lower end of the bumper? There bothers me the restriction of the front embankment angle It actually only remains on the bumper over the neblers? Then it has to be a properly it’s headlight housing? Not only what to put in holes where cables come out in the back. Where is there something suitable? Maybe someone has already solved this by themselves Thanks and nice Sunday LG, Sascha

I was recently offered a strange car more or less. It is a very rare pre-production vehicle, which was built for homologation and was fitted with the 230GE engine No. 10. Actually, Mercedes never gave pre-production vehicles into the market at that time as today. Most of them were dismantled or even destroyed after the various tests and acceptances. However, this convertible could be a Mercedes employee from the strategic area due to The car has been in his possession since 1990 and has always been registered. Mercedes had driven around 1100km himself to the car in the course of the tests. The owner has only driven 15,000km on the car in the last 25 years! “Everyone” km is documented, of course checkbook maintained. The car is in a correspondingly unusually good condition. I like the car very much, but I can’t judge what such a thing is like. I felt a bit pre-feeling and got the impression that you are talking about orders of magnitude in the direction of 60,000€, which I find too much. Can that be, or is there someone crazy???? Is there others here who have the experiences with pre-production vehicles and can tell me what? How expensive can a 230er be, even if it is good. I am very happy about serious comments. That this is a lot of money, is also clear to me, so please no P olemik here in the forum. It’s definitely a collector’s car that you can’t compare to the usual market. So I’m looking for the comparison to the exotics. Thank you! Greetings from Stern to Stern, Rolf Brettschneider

Hello together, I love the topic for a long time, but now it’s clear, I want a G500. Of course, I’ve already searched half the internet for tips and found a lot of helpful here. I still have a few questions, because I couldn’t find a final answer. Especially at the year of construction I think about it. The models >2000 have more electronics, which supposedly and logically can lead to more problems. But I don’t have any real reports about these Problems found, make the models with ESP etc. really problems and which are these? Rust is apparently a topic for everyone, is it really the case that the models from 1998-2000 were better? How “bad” is the air conditioning in the models before 2000 compared? Are there otherwise big differences between before and after 2000? I could also imagine a vehicle with 200,000km, if everything is in good condition and cleanly maintained. I think engine and transmission also keep much more from and with a vehicle with a higher running line, many other maintenances are possible, which are still to be done with one with 100,000km, or what do you think? Basically, both variants would be in question for me, whereby I find the old square dashboard even almost more beautiful. Many questions … and thank you for your help … Christian
