  • New G63 (W465) – Shock absorber defective?

    Hello together, I picked up my new G63 in Affalterbach the week before last – which was of course an absolute highlight!. Unfortunately, after about a week I noticed a poltern on the left, when I drove over unevenness. The noise occurs especially at speeds below 50km/h and then, if you do not drive at the same time each axle over a unevenness. It sounds like a component has played and would “poltern” against it. Interestingly, the poltern at the versc Here are the driving modes (Comfort, Sport and Sport+) less, especially in Sport +, What could be connected with the AMG Ride Control suspension. Now the chassis and the vehicle is of course very new and Mercedes and AMG advise just whether it should not be replaced… Very much to my pleasure. Has any of you had similar experiences or a tip what it could be? Best regards and thank you very much for the round!

  • Replace oil pipes from gearbox to cooler with flex hoses

    Hello, with my favorite G (BJ’93 300GD WDB46332717088920) after the transmission oil wash (at the automatic transmission) at Bosch (actually positively known for its quality in Leipzig) the pipes were soaking, where they are screwed together. Unfortunately, I found it only weeks later, because immediately after the washing of the cars stood elsewhere several weeks. I have now attracted several times at the spotting places, last with a higher force (because slight dissatisfaction in me Ok no topic, new lines here and completely renewed. Aha there are not, but only parts of them in the WWW. Now my question: Why not use steel flexible lines? Aim: Minimization of the possible Siff positions and the line can be moved from the gearbox to the cooler better than the partly rigid lines of MB. Does anyone already have experiences with this? If yes, I would be very grateful for information. If this is a stupid idea of mine, please do the same. VG Den ic

  • WD463 G 500 – Built 93

    Hello dear community, unfortunately I don’t have the manual for my old G class anymore and therefore I’m really thrown up with the fuse box. Are there still some old plans? Especially I need the fuse for the rear electric window lifters. Unfortunately, both of them don’t go. Sometimes you can see if a fuse is through, but I don’t this time. Is this the only fuse box for the passenger seat or what else is there for? Unfortunately I find online also no manual for the year of construction more Anbei ein Foto. I would be very happy if someone could help me here. Thank you very much! Constantin

  • Current circuit diagram Engine control unit and ignition lock G270CDI

    Hello together. I have a problem with my G270CDI (2005). It doesn’t start sporadically. If you turn the ignition key, nothing happens (you turn into the void). Battery is new. Sometimes it starts normal (turning ignition key-starter is running). I would like to check the connection between ignition lock and motor control unit. Can someone help me there? And where is the starter relay? It seems to me that there is a cold soldering point… Thanks already!

  • Problems associated with the supply of the synchronous shaft

    Hello I ask for help from the axle special lists! That with the axle balls always a slight fat release seems to be normal. But with my G it is recently a grey fat film mixed with oil. The diff oil which was recently exchanged was also gray. So probably the cuffs and the sealing rings are broken, but strangely simultaneously on both sides. I ordered now new seals and bearings and disassembled the first side. At the cuff which still in Ordn ung the tensioner has opened and the cuff was loose at the larger diameter. Unfortunately, the DC joint is also to be replaced. A drive shaft for the G is quickly found, but not suitable for my G500 Bj.10 388Ps at least if the information of the providers is correct. I doubt however the accuracy of the according to dimension should fit e.g. these except the teeth number for ABS: https://www.autodoc.de/…/1386668?… Does someone know about the different equals I’m a little bit in need of time as I’m about to leave Tunisia. I’ll at least thank you for reading. Sincerely, Charlie

  • Ceramic sealing lacquer / alternatives / matt lacquer – Magno

    Since I didn’t find anything suitable during the search, the question in the round: Does anyone have experience with ceramic sealing on the G and in particular with magno mattllacks ?Conservation of expectations: Especially with matt lacquer no change of the lacquer effect / optics. Cleaning is easier by hand, since dirt of any kind hardly adheres. Lacquer is protected for many years (> 5 years) well from weather influences. (here especially matt lacquer interesting because you can’t polish) Protection against “smaller” Kr e.g. feel brushes washbox/system or light mechanical scratches like e.g. smaller Ästchen during off-road rides… … is worth the financial effort corner 1000 – 2000 Euro ? I have rejected alternatives: stone impact protection foils should professionally lie > 4000 … how long should I keep the beautiful also questionable … then possibly prefer to repaint in 10 years if necessary ? Any nano seals or matt waxes are solutions for a few months at best … Thanks you for r Feedback from the practice to help me decide.

  • G580 outer colour

    Hello together, we would like to order our first G soon, with the rest of the equipment is clear to me or the decision is easy, only with the outside color we are totally unsure. We consciously do not want a black, is of course also good, one can do nothing wrong but does not meet our taste. After eternal considerations and partly encounters on the road we could reduce the selection to 3 colors: Opalith white travertine metallic olive green m etallic The green we had seen a few times during the last days of the skiing holiday, but in bad light conditions it looks almost like black. We also looked white, was surprised- looked good. Travertin I have unfortunately not seen anywhere in natura. Especially with the Night Package I have concerns that the transition from white and black is too hard. What do you think? Thank you for your experiences and opinions Many greetings Florian Ps: the G will be with us for a longer period of time in the F The colour should not be a fashion colour or a timeless colour.
