Who has OWNER experience with CDI engines converted to vegetable oil? Would you like to drive the G320 CDI ADDITIONAL with regenerated vegetable oil later (after expiry of the regular warranty). What do I have to pay attention to? What problems can arise? Does someone know a professional retrofitter in Switzerland? Thank you for your help.

Moin moin, I hope to meet at least one pilot of the current G 55 K who can tell me if: the road position is reasonable or you ruin his intervertebral disc; the range with fast AB-drive is at least 400km; how high the real V-max is (without taking 12km of start) you get with the serial tires a 2.5t trailer from the damp meadow without pitifully failing (the Touareg of my buddy sends greetings…); the sound is really sooo great. Have my dealer already because of a test drive besieged, it is allegedly totally hard to get such an “exclusive” vehicle for it, even he as a branch could not get there… And if, yes if, then at most for half an hour… therefore my annoying questioning. (The G V12 of Brabus I could drive without a problem, that only once on the edge). My 535d is so slow the blow goes out, above all it is by far overburdened with the trailer load and sets up in the station constantly, therefore I am at the G 55 K gela Ndet, was also always a dream to buy this “Urviech” sometime. Would be nice if someone at least had some objective answers for me. But please no sayings a la “a G 500 does ́s too”, no, just not. And that the G 55 is not a 10 liter car I also know… Greeting, Andre

Hello together! I am new here in the forum and look around to buy a G. I was already at the friendly dealer, but no one can give me any information if the AMG rims with the extension of the G55 are also available for the diesel. I have chosen the G 320 CDI long, in Designo Lack and designo leather. But I still doubt whether the 320 is the right choice. G55 or G 500 are leaving, because I don’t know any gas retrofitter and no experiences about it. I once had a ML 400 CDI of which I was very enthusiastic. However, I always hear and read about problems with this engine. I had at least none, but have only 50,000 km of experience. Because for me a top used G 400 CDI could be considered, but I can no longer influence the equipment and would probably have to look for longer… But the V8 diesel would like. The 400er is still in the “older” equipment, with the “old NAVI”. Is there something seriously negative? I h with the ML Bj. 2004 only with NAVI and telephone problems, but then enough of that. In addition, it was a CD-Navi. What do the experts say here?? Greeting mw P.S. Of course I would like the G55 best. Wouldn’t be the problem financially. But I just don’t have to fill up every 400 km…if that’s enough!

Hello, I have to get a G soon and would like to hear your opinion about the engines. I fluctuate between the 270 CDI and the 300TD, where I am grateful about every opinion. I use the vehicle 50/50 road and terrain, trailer operation also occurs but usually only with approx. 1200KG. In the terrain he should already be able to stand out because we have quite a lot of mud and mud. How about the consumption of the engines? What might be interesting? is whether you would advise me to a short or long G, I’m the same “relative”, but I really like the long something better. I’m really very grateful about every statement, so please write everything you can think of! Thank you!

I hope not to ask a very stupid question in my first post – I searched the forums also in vain on this topic. What can one expect from the German MB dealer or a German MB branch at discount for a new vehicle or a demonstration car (max 4 months / 5,000 KM) at discount, without taking in the old vehicle ? The for me for a according to my wishes equipped demonstration car of the especially with regard to the high-quality fittings slightly facelifted G- Class (EZ about November 07) promised 15 percent seem to me – also with the marketengen G-Class – too nimble. Each of your tips is welcome – thank you!

I recently met a very memorable vehicle on the bike: a box-shaped vehicle with two rear axles, which stood relatively far apart and the rear of a mercedes g. does anyone know it? I can only see it from the side and from the back, but I would be interested in technology and a few pictures, also the area of use and whether it is a original civilian vehicle. thank you! dear gruss oli

Hello professionals. In the morning my G500 MJ 2016 always shows up the message “Refill coolant, the engine is warm the message is gone. I assume that very little is missing, so that the rise due to heat expansion already enough to wet the sensor again. Now my question: I would have just poured some water back in the past. Now you should do it according to the operating instructions and there is only use of coolant released by MB. I have little time at the moment because of so something at the friendly to beg an appointment, there is something at the tank, ATU, Amazon or similar or just a little Aqua dest.? OpenAirFan

Good evening love “G”emeinde, I am currently thinking about changing to a new petrol engine. Hand on your heart with the G63 drivers, what do you use up in the middle? Yes, yes, I know, with the car absolutely the wrong question. However, I would be interested in it anyway. According to data sheets the G63 probably consumes a little less than the 500s. Although I tend for one, two reasons to the 500s (e.g. less violent appearance, acoustically as well as optically), the belly clearly signals something and eres. I drive mainly in the village and on city highways. Some times it goes over the highway every year and then always 1,000 km at a time. In the year I drive with my G only about 15,000 km, because I have two more cars. Some times I drove a G55, which had a not really comfortable travel suspension. How to rate here the G63er so? That the costs are high with the boxes is aware as a G-driver. My present diesel has an absolute full equipment un d was already on the level of a well-equipped 500er at that time anyway. So I realize what is coming. But I never had a car with which I have been so fond of driving every day for years, like with the G. So comes a new G in the house again, or I stay with my diesel cube. So, after the swarm in space, again to the point. What do you consume with your 63er or with the 500er ́n? Thank you for an info. Good evening.

Hello all, I will replace my 350 BT with a G63 in the foreseeable future. However, since my current MB subsidiary disappoints me without exception, and definitely does not leave any possibility here, I will probably not order a car there to die. A very nice G500 driver from WL- recommended me HH, where I actually tend (beautiful city of the world and early even lived there). I don’t care now, where I order the roar cube in Germany, ic h would like only a little care, some service, possibly a reminder of a TÜV appointment and here and there a bit of accommodation, if on a > 100K€ car something is broken. I would even drive to Cologne, to Munich, to Husum, to Tinum, from me also to Hintertupfing. Only BS does not get a single € more from me. Where did you have good and possibly also less good experiences. Thank you for your comments.

Hello Mercedes friends, I’m new here and I have a question. I bought a G463 built in 1992. Now I have to make a lot on the G. Now my question: I need new drum brakes and brake cheeks. Now I’ve been looking for all the time. I found suitable drum brakes:www.autoteile.check24.de/…/ate-braking drum-24-0226-0001-1 Only the problem are currently the brake cheeks. I have found three so far. However, the other dimensions than the Here are the three links:www.pkwteile.de/jurid/9644000www.autoteile.check24.de/…/maganti-marelli-brakebacke-360219198367www.autoteile.check24.de/…/denckermann-brakebackensatz-b120128 They have a width of 40mm. Now I’m not sure if these are the right ones even though they are displayed as “suitable” according to various online shops. Does anyone know this well? Is there good alternative to the Original? Are these the right ones? If so, there is a brake difference there as they are smaller. Thank you for all the answers.
