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

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.

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.

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….

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.
