  • Monday-R?

    Apparently you’re all just happy… I’ve been stuck with the Mist car twice (R320 CDI long). The last time the club left me on the A8 in the dark. Both times there was something going on, the first time with considerable oil loss. The problem was both times that it was only loud when giving gas but no more drifting came. Now I probably also switched on the smeared software that completely uncultivated. I’m driving now since 3 0 years quite a lot of car, in the time I stayed there twice. Both times with this Murkscarre. The great electric Hechklappe you have to start in the morning also by hand. Another few facts if one thinks I would mistreat my car: I am Dipl.-Ing. Maschinenbau, the car is bought from me, 2 years old and has run 70,000 (long distance only). At the car only contract workshops murksen around. I expect from a high-wet German company with over I think I’m going to have to sue myself out of the Leasin contract to get a reliable vehicle again, my trust is gone and I’m driving around with a very murky feeling. But I’m sure I’m the only one who has this problem…. who seemed to know the problem in the branch that was supposed to pick me up anyway because he immediately ordered a tow truck without any discussion, and the s Agitated he would have towed the last few weeks heaps of new and expensive Mercedes…

  • Windshield torn

    Hello, I noticed today during the ride that my windshield got a 30 cm long crack from the lower edge to the top. I want to exclude a rockfall, since I have not heard any and also no impact can be seen. I think rather about tensions. Built 05.2008 and approx. 5000 km on the clock. Whether the friendly does this on warranty? Or whether they talk out and claim stonefall or bad roads? What do you mean? At the latest next week I will probably find out. n. Greetings Matthias

  • Post-term cell phone setting ?

    Can someone tell me how I can adjust the after-time (time from turning off the engine to the autom. turning off the mobile phone) ? Currently my mobile phone does not turn off independently. In my E-Class this went somewhere with the vehicle settings. I can’t find this option with my R. For some other MB classes it works by entering in the mobile phone book as the name “after-time” and as the telephone number a number between 1 and 10, so that the after-time is between But it does not work on the R. Who knows advice ?

  • I’m breaking a lance for the R!!! That’s super!!!

    Unfortunately, since the introduction of the R-Class, you have to read mostly only criticism and I always found that the car is too wrongly called a flop. Actually, the car has everything positive that you need. Space, comfort, safety and powerful engines. And also the prices I find quite fair for Mercedes relations. And the bad reputation of the R-Class should make the car really interesting for Inteligente Kaeufer I say. I mean the price fall in the first place. It is a pity for a new car buyer that his car loses so much value however it is nevertheless great that you can buy young used ones comparably as Schnaeppchen. And then you get such a great car! I am so excited about the car because I drove the first time last weekend in a R 320 CDI and I was really excited. You feel well. Gen ug place,great overview,I also found the workmanship in order and the engine was not at any time to be seen as performance weak. A great overall package! Well,and the R-Class Kaeufer is also sure that he does not get a sports car. I don’t have an entrepreneur here with me in the vicinity of which I think a R 500 for almost 2 years and that is always enthusiastic when you approach him on his car. as I understand now perfectly. – Drivers because you can be proud to drive such a great car. And the reviews of the car should not hurt you because you know best what you have great things. I hope now only that the reliability is to some extent true or what have you done so far for experiences? Are you satisfied? I hope very much! And I wish you all continued carefree ride IVI

  • Command APS video feature

    Hello friends, someone knows a plausible reason why the video function of the Command APS of the R-Class is inactive. The general operating instructions do not give any information, whereas the feature in the E-Class works. One should believe, where video is written on it should also work video – but not with the command system of my R-Class, which Lapidar brings the hint ‘no video’. Has anyone of you already annoyed about the missing function or is there a An activation option that is not yet known to me. Comments more than welcome !

  • Consumption R350?

    Hello to the round, we are interested in a R-Class as 350 gasoline. About consumption as far as the 320CDI is concerned, I have read several times. Does anyone have experience with an average consumption as far as the 6 cylinder petroler is concerned? Were yesterday in the DC branch. On my question how realistic the stated combined consumption of 11.5l is, the seller stated, with 16liter !! would one hit the point better?! In addition, the torque of the petroler for the 2, 3to eh too low and thus the consumption would automatically increase by high speeds?! Well, know the 350 from the W211 and find the engine basically awesome. With an approximate mileage of 12000km a year, a diesel less comes into question (at least as far as the ratio is concerned). Would be class if someone could advise me. Thanks in advance frauschnupp2

  • Child seats in the R-Class

  • R-class new car discounts?

    Hello everyone. I am in the concept to acquire a new r-class from the new car stock and have already entertained myself with the friendly (dealer, not branch) about a rather lush equipped model. however I was very surprised how nimble the friendly has set the discount (8%). I find it quite lean and little sales promotion. now to the actual question: may someone mention here which discounts were negotiated? or does someone know if and which special there are actions and conditions for the r-class on the part of the daimler ag? the friendly didn’t seem to be particularly fit in this view – maybe I could then help him sell the dare. I know, sensitive subject, but it would be nice if someone might say so. thank you for reading it.

  • Recently at the Mercedes dealer

    Recently (two weeks ago) at the Mercedes dealer: BMW-Futzi: “Good day. I would like to have brochures on the R-Class. Is there something about the upcoming Facelift?” The friendly one: “A facelift at the R-Class is unknown to me. There is a special model with AMG package. I have a special brochure” and gave me documents for the Facelift in my hand.

  • Airmatics…Rumms-Rumms

    Let’s ask the Airmatics drivers: If there is a heavy bottom shaft or a road heel, after which the wheels spring out a little faster, both axles pollinate very violently. Of all my previous cars, I have not yet been “awakened” with steel suspension from such a pole. Is that normal? Greetings, two
