Hello together I think it’s a pity that the NEW G63 will be delivered with a plastic airbag module or not even the option for a leather related airbag module exists. Would also pay a few EUR extra for this. After my order from the NEW G63 and the wish of a leather covered airbag module I was told in the Center of Excellence that such airbag bang tests would be very expensive, and this is one reason why they are not offered in all classes. only the mopf S class with the leather covered airbag module delivered ex factory. Brabus offers since the latest also the leather cover of the airbag module (see appendix). One can assume that the leather airbags of Mercedes and Brabus have been tested accordingly – and in case of emergency will also trigger. There are of course various suppliers/sattler with which one can have an airbag in leather/alcantara already from EUR 200. Whether these then in case of harvest properly trigger and open, remains natural I would like to have the ORIGINAL leather airbag module from the mopf S-Class (same steering wheel as in the NEW G) inclick. To do this, it would be interesting to know which airbag module is installed in the NEW G-Class and of course also in the mopf S-Class – if these are the same my plan goes on If someone had time/lust and dares to look at the NEW G… I would like to do it myself, but my NEW G comes to the end October 2018. Procedure: on the back of the steering wheel there are 2 small openings there you come in with a small screwdriver and can unlock the airbag, then you can pull it out and read on the back what is on it or shoot a photo – and please just press the airbag module back into the steering wheel. That’s it. Here’s a video with a guide, another car – but the same principle.https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Jv8s6d_4HCghttps://www.motor -talk.de/videos.html?…

Moin G-nossen. My G500 (2005, 72 TKM mileage) brings its full power only cold at the moment, after you just started it. After 1 or 2 km the gas intake becomes tough, or it needs clearly more gas foot to accelerate normally. What I noticed: engine fan jumps frequently and always at high speed at the same time. But then it goes out again at some point. Now the outside temperatures were very high the last days… But I think despite The temperature of the cooling water is normal. MKL is off. Error memory is empty. But consumption is significantly increased (about 30l to 100km). Does anyone have an idea?

Servus together, the water cooler of the W463 is also oil cooler for the automatic transmission. Since I also convert 6 gear manual transmission would be the option available to use these connections as oil cooler for the engine. Can anyone tell me if this is possible or is the water cooler not designed for the oil pressure? And prefer to install an extra oil cooler ? Best regards

Hello together, I’m new here and hope to find help. On Monday I took my G class in reception. Unfortunately, my iPhone is not displayed in the Comand -> Connect -> CarPlay. The MB car dealership could not help me until now. A few facts & figures, what happened so far: – Iphone 12 Pro Max with iOS 18.1.1 – Siri enabled – Bluetooth on and off – WLan on and off on the mobile phone – Iphone restarted – screen time settings checked (among other things, a tip from the Net z) – original Apple charging cable (various tested) – proper USB socket used in the car, iPhone charging works on both USB slots – MB employee tried it with its two iPhones and its cable – W463, Bj 2022 – smartphone integration CarPlay on board (SA code EV1 + EV3 + EV4) – system in G class reset to factory settings Would be happy if someone could help me. Thank you in advance!

Hello, For the second time already the Distronic segment display in the instrument cluster has failed. Normally red points appear, which indicate the speed of the speed controller is set. If the Distronic obstacles are detected, it will adjust the speed if necessary until the standstill. In the instrument cluster red points of the speed range from current speed to initial set speed are displayed. Red points f The failure occurred every time after an oil service, I suspect when the service interval was reset. The oil service was not carried out at Mercedes. The first time was then replayed at Mercedes Software, or a reset performed. How can one avoid the segment display fail and how can one revive it without driving to Mercedes every time? Thank you for your help. Greeting Pill

Hello! I have a 300GD 1983 and having trouble with Swedish autotest (tuv?) The car was taken to sweden 1987 and in registration the write “Truck” its Beacuse its lower tax on truck ́s But its not allowed to have passangers. so the rearseat was removed, but its back in place now an i want to register it as a family car so i can use the rear seats. But neithers autotest needs to know that it has been made to be a car with rearseats when it was first put to traffic… and in what country! Looks to me like its impossible?! ? I need to know where my car was sold and in what country is was taken in traffic for first time.

Hello together. I just picked up my G after two weeks because of control chain changes from the workshop. During the test drive it was found that a brake caliper is fixed in the front. This was recognized by the rusty brake disc inside. I noticed 2-3 weeks ago that he pulls something aside when braking. I pushed them however on the coarse tolled winter tires. Anyway. I would be pleased to hear your opinion: a.) The MB workshop thought one could easily continue The vehicle is well maintained. Shouldn’t the condition of the sealing cuffs have to be “visibly checked” during any inspection? The car was only recently during the (large) inspection. I actually have the regular maintenance carried out, so that it does not come to unplanned aius cases. The servo pump is only recently complete. Although I had reported to the workshop several times before that the steering support was suspended for a short time, no remedy could be provided. Of course, a lot of the pump then out exactly on the return trip from the holiday. Or is the whole mud ash located at the specialist competence of the workshop? I am already curious about your answer. Greetings Frank

Since I was a child, I really like the car. However, at the Bundeswehr I was “defeated” about the G and had to drive with the Iltis. Now I want to get an “old” G as a hobby car. Who has experience? How is the life expectancy of a 230 GE? Are the diesel more robust? Is a e.g. 25 years old G still to be used as a everyday car (second car)? Or does it already require a lot of care and love? This is why the diesel/petrol consumption difference should not be so important. Is the car maintenance-friendly? Can a free workshop (former Mercedes Meister) wait for such a car or do you need many special tools? The driving performance is completely irrelevant. I would also need a 240 GD. A 300 GD will certainly leave because of the tax burden. Thank you very much in advance.

Hello to the community, I have a W463, GD 300. The car has 348tkm and on the front right he lost the transmission oil, which came through the leaky shaft seal into the ball. I also have the typical clacking at full impact. I have now dismantled this and stand now full of reverence for some components which you have to replace. Certainly all seals and of course also the joint itself, the cuff was only in some parts in the ball. That was certainly for a long time. I’m sure I don’t have the best conditions and what you need and what you don’t need, I don’t know exactly anyway. However, the parts don’t look like gifts, I just want to buy those that are useful. I wouldn’t fix the joint on the passenger’s side at first, that’s neither leaking nor making noises. I’m grateful for any tips. Thank you!

Hello community. Signed up here to get some advice. I’m 32 years old now and I’ve been driving a Porsche Cayenne Turbo S thanks to dual studies and very good price. Since I’m most likely promoted to a leading position at Daimler in a short time, I’m thinking about making my dream come true. My dream? The G55 AMG or new G63 AMG ! Sure, the price with far over 130,000.00€ is probably first scary, all rdings is my dream. Now my question. Is any of you driving a G55 or a G63? Can someone compare both cars constructively, objectively and out of his own experience? I drove the G55 only once and fell in love directly, but it’s not enough to really compare both. Kind greetings, Tim
