Hello dear forum, I am traveling with my R500 to South France as once the yellow engine control light concerns. In the manual it says, check tank cover, and it could be that no Bensin is in it. Was half full and is now fully fuelled. However, the lamp remains on (( Otherwise it could be a problem of: – fuel injection – exhaust system – ignition system What can/should I do? It is 7 o’clock in the evening, and I am still 500km away from my destination. And look what happens? At worst, the engine falls into the emergency program. Could I complete my way with it? What do you get in the 500 with 306ps? Have always fuelled Super Plus until now. Did more octan be always better. Or 95s? Not that I did something wrong with it? Please… HELFT MIR (( Thanks in advance Mfg Kay

Hello, have a Mercedes R 320 cdi 4 Matic. before a few I noticed that when I pressed on the button level the car is not lifted and 2 days later the car was in front much lower than before. There has been nothing changed in driving behavior but always when I want to drive now into the garage he hits the ground because it is too low at the front. What’s broken? How much does the repair cost? Thank you

Hello, on my R500 the 20 inch AMG wheels were delivered as a special equipment. Since I wanted even bigger ones I looked in the papers what still goes on the R-Class and got me AMG Styling 3 – these were previously on an Audi on it with flat tires, but are without damage and places. I have of course not mounted them yet, I do this only in the summer. How would you estimate that, high-gloss polished rims are a bit “too shrill” for the Aut (it sol I’m just an “original” freak and therefore I just wanted to buy original Mercedes/AMG parts. I thought, take the original R-Class AMG 21 inch wheels you can also buy from MB, but let them polish high-gloss (costed 400 euros per rim). Wanted in total “decent series with small “Plus”. Would you rather drive original silver or do you find it cool with the high-gloss polished ones? Now I still got tyres from one known If you still have 6mm profile, it is Pirelli P-Zero 265/40 ZR21 as prescribed, but as an identifier there is only “B”. Would you rather buy others, so which with MO identifier or doesn’t really matter? I found nothing about identification “B” and I don’t find any models for Pirelli for 21 inches and R-Class – only up to 20 inches, funny… So I would then in the summer the 9×21 ET 60 and ET 48 styling 3 with the number A251… and the Pirelli P Zero B identifier z Is there anything against it?

Hello friends of the room glider, I have the following problem: A short time ago I discovered a forum here, that was called “Distronic from today on board”. All right I thought to myself, if this is so easy I (self car mechatronics technician) can do so too. So said, done! I ordered all the parts (sensor, steering pole switch, cover plate) and I built the cable set myself. When I had installed all the parts I put it into the following ECUs with my StarDiagnosis I had to drive to the workshop and have it encoded for the ESP. Now I get the error message “Distronic without function” in the instrument cluster, if I read out the vehicle with my laptop, there is an error message in the ESP and in the Distronic an exclamation mark behind it. If I look at the error in detail he writes to me in the ESP: “ESP ECU (N47/5) or ECU DTR (A89) new p In the event memory of the Distronic it says: “The CAN communication is disturbed”! Then I carried out a voltage test on the front of the plug by means of a multimeter. The power supply is (12V) and the CAN is clearly measurable (2,3V and 2,8V), moreover I can access the control unit. Despite all this, I have now re-enacted the CAN bus lines and got the same error message. “The CAN communication is disturbed” Now ask ic h here for advice and would be very grateful about your proposals for solutions.

Hello, I bought summer rims (see appendix) afterwards for my R 500 and currently drive 275/40/20 tyres on it. However, as they are worn out soon and I do not want to mount the tyres specified by Mercedes (265/45 20), I would be interested to know which tyre size you ride on your 20-inch tyres? I don’t care about the type of tyre, this is a matter of faith, only the size interests me. I already have the same rims with the tyre size 275/50 20 ge see!…therefore my question. according to tire calculator should not work but 275/50 20, since these 5% would not show enough (compared to 265/45/20) on the speedometer and that would not be allowed!? Thank you very much Martin P.S.: I know that only two screws are mounted in the rim…this was only a test and now all screws are available! 😉

Hello, the Comand system in the W251 from 2007 has recently increased listening to sound oscillations on the radio or playing CD, then the sound comes back and stays away again. It started with TV reception on reverse gear. The function Map hangs now as well. The car has in the Fond TV DVD system of MB. When I arrived with the problem of TV reception on reverse gear, the friendly meant it is on the control unit of Comand, costs 2,500 EUR, without exchange! I asked him if e r could connect a new control unit to try out that it really is because he meant that once the packaging is on, you have to pay it. I confronted him with it, where does the realization come from without a mistake being read out, maybe it is a cable break or something else, he has not had an answer. Does someone have a hint what it might be about, if necessary, where can they repair it cheaply? Otherwise it is a class family car.

Hello, my name is Holger and I’m already known in Motor – Talk. So far, however, more from the S-Class range. Since yesterday, I am now the owner of a V251 pre-mop than 320CDI long with 4 MATIC. He has no AMG look as I like it so much better. I can add pictures to the vehicle later because I now only own the sales pictures of Mercedes. I can already make the definitive statement that the R-Class with Airmatic is more comfortable than my a I already have a few small questions to the R-Class-fraction. – my rear center console is not illuminated even though it is installed in the rear position. Does this point have its own fuse? – my panoramic roof lets the sun visor drive only with pressed button. No tap and it runs through to the end point. However, the glass passes through by tip. – Do you have the parking function of the right mirror only with memory function? – Is it true that I have the A irmatic the increased position (manual) so about at 40 – 50 km/h sinks again? With the W220 this was only at about 80 – 90 km/h. In the manual I only read the Mercedes recommends to do the level adjustment with light rolling vehicle because it would be more gentle. Greeting Holger V.

For a few weeks now I have had the following problem with my tailgate: Sometimes it is not possible for me to open it automatically (key, handle or door). It does not unlock, but then wants to drive up correctly, what one hears from the noises and also sees at the beginning of a movement of the tailgate. Also the support with force does not change, since the lock is locked. After the vehicle was in rest mode (so overnight) the flap works perfectly. From there it is sometimes, not always, the end with Easy-Pack. Then it is called climbing, seat flaps and the mechanical unlocking effort. If you lock the lock with the open flap (manual changing of the hook) there is only a short noise when the Easy-Pack is triggered, the hook remains closed and can only be mechanically unlocked If the vehicle is in this condition, you can only hope that it will be released again after a long break. Does anyone have any idea what it might be about? Thank you very much

Good day together, I have a concern again and need your advice: I drive a R class year 2008 and so far I have always navigated via mobile phone and hardly used the function of navigation of the R-Class so really because it was just so far always outdated on the stand of 2009. Last we were in the Czech Republic and the mobile phone battery was empty and also no charging cable in the vehicle available now we stood there in the middle of a country so language we almost not mastered long text short meaning we were able to navigate with the signs back to Germany, but a replacement navigation system in the R class would have been an advantage. So I already got a little knowledge and looked for newer DVDs but the latest DVD for navigation I found for the R class or generally from Mercedes was from 2016 and 99 € more expensive now my question how are you navigating in the R-Class? Did you vie Light new DVDs? Thanks for your help

Hello, on my R-Class 320 tdi 4Matic, 2006 the rear “air spring bellows” and the compressor were recently renewed. After a short time the car slid off back again. The compressor does not start, my screwdriver thinks it could be the electronics. The relay was changed, but did not adapt to the car – the engine turned, but did not jump on, so old relay was re-used. Has someone done the same or similar experience, or has someone tips to remedy this. ? I would be very grateful and would be happy!
