Dear friends, it happens regularly at the start. When I start the car and start with a cold engine, the car stays at 20km/h while the speed at the pressure of the gas pedal rises from about 1500 to 2100 rpm at the same speed. After about 5-8 seconds the spook is over, the car switches back and then runs normally. Feels a little like during the emergency run. The problem is only just after the cold start. The engine lamp does not work. Also no errors are saved. Does anyone have an idea?

There is a callback campaign for the G (at least the 500) because of a possibly defective fuel transport module. You should not drive any more. I tried to get an appointment with the dealer today, there they told me that the tank can only be filled up to 20%. I still have 60% petrol in it. Answer: A repair is not possible. I should drive the empty. That is kafkaesk: How, please, should I get the tank empty, if Mercedes writes, one has to “immediately” in the workshop???? Should I now wait for the evaporation of the gasoline??? Did Mercedes write, but received no answer. How do you do that? Flaking off the gasoline? Suck out the hose? Put away in the Frankfurt station district? Greeting from the wsp

Hello dear G-community, after two years of searching I think I have finally found my G. It is a short 270 cdi in black with black leather seats, heating without a lot of rust and 245000 kilometers run by private, first hand and with all checkbook entries of Mercedes for 22000 €. What do you think the price is justified, what should I pay attention to when running?? I can’t look into the technology, I see the condition of the car yes, Unt erboden is also quite ok. I am especially concerned about ev. Macken, which could occur with this mileage and which you do not see. Thank you for your answers.

Hello, I used my 400 Bj 2001 with rainwater in the footroom of the passenger side. (Only in rain so runs somewhere from outside) At first that was so much that I could have opened the windows and it would not have run in less water. I already isolated the air filter box the sealing rubber on both sides with Sikaflex. But there is water running out of the black box behind the ashtray in the footroom. My questions: Which component is this, is it something like a heat exchanger and where is the connection to the engine compartment or where could the water run into the component. Hope you can give me a tip before I expand the dashboard. LG G_MasterGE

Hello together, in the forum I have read many times, that there are colleagues which have 5t trailer load on the long G. For this a writing of Mercedes would be necessary. I asked at the central, however, is it nobody known about Mercedes? Did any of you by chance write such an official what he can send to me anonymized? lg Dani

Hello And indeed I have a problem I am looking for someone who has registered a trailer load increase and train load increase with a G model because I can tie anything my TÜV examiner under the wet that it really works because he is very bumpy. Can someone help me there further am already despairing and would be very happy about help!!! MFG jakob

I have a G-Class with additional equipment “Stainless Steel Package” and am quite surprised that many small points are formed with corrosion spots on the spare wheel cover. After I carried out the “magnet test” I found that the spare wheel cover – in contrast to the running boards – is strongly magnetic. The vehicle is year 2012. The workshop was also quite surprised about the stains and replaced the cover free of charge. It is important to look at your “stainless steel” reserverad covers and let the cover at Mercedes-Benz be replaced free of charge. PS: The surface becomes more sensitive and reacts even faster from the constant overpolishing. I have the assumption that the installed “Edelstah” reserveraddications are not high-quality stainless steel and inferior quality has been installed. In my view, an improbable thei with such expensive vehicles!

…the subject should already be presented separately, stoning and teasing me in whatever order. I would like to move the spare wheel down at my G by rotation of the holder (this seems to be quite simple). Before I get my hands dirty (so, it’s not my hands and my friend wears only gloves) I wanted to ask about your experiences. The advantages are obvious: free(er) view to the back and possibly cool look. And if you want to use the m second I am unsure. What does this look like? How much lower does the wheel (at a G 63) come? The trailer coupling, which I never needed in the 63er, only alienated for purpose (see appendix), could interfere with this. Maybe the coupling also needs to be removed. What do you mean? Lower and clutch away? Let it be deeper and clutch. Let it all be?

Hello dear G-driver I have been offered a G500 from 2002 with 140000 km, which I like well. Can someone tell me if this gas system works reliably, I found nothing meaningful about it in the net, at least nothing in connection with a G500. Maybe someone has installed exactly this gas system. I would also be interested in the consumption of petrol/gas, I am a very quiet and balanced driver. drive highway 80-90, highway 100-110, hardly urban verkeh r, don’t have a “lead foot” I would be very happy about meaningful contributions, thank you already…

moinzen, had noticed yesterday, that it smells like burnt brake lining and that the rear right rim was warm. Today, the brake was not really solid but already heavy, after brake operation it releases only cumbersomely. So wheel off, brake caliper lower screw loosened and folded up, the piston cuff is damaged. Everything already clean and smooth made and now is good again. But that does not last long and then it starts again. So in the EPC check, the repair kit (A000 421 1248 with piston, seal and cuff) costs around 100 euros, the whole saddle about 300. And then I tried it again in the bay for an exception, and what do I find, tens of inexpensive brake calipers for the G-Class, also at the rear, which cost only from 60 euros. For front with two pistons still under 100. also from Bosch. Even repair kits. Only for my model 270 cdi is there nothing. Can that be, after all, that was a volume model for the AMG? is not the saddle, I can see that, but maybe pass the overtaking kit, of which I only need the cuff. The AMG piston has 42mm diameter. Does any of you know if it could fit with the 270er? The part number of the 270-brake saddle is A000 420 1079.
