  • C navigation system for S class Bj 1999

    Hello, I intended to update my navigation device in my S-Class because the last CD`s from 2007 are. Here I was informed by the manufacturer that there will be no updates for the C-System any more. My question: should I have to scrap my S-Class (which I have always kept in good condition) after all? Who has a solution and opinion on this topic. It is always amazing how Mercedes with its prudents and its customer I think people are still far too good. Greetings spades

  • Convert 420 SEC to 500 SEC?

    Hello everyone! Since my 500s is accident, I would like to bring them back to life or at least put them in a new skin. It connects me a lot with her.Therefore I ask it is possible to convert the components of my 500 SEC BJ1991 with ASR into a 420 SEC from the BJ 1986? Does the Euro D3 stay with me then, or does it go with such flutes? Is there then problems because of the ASR? does the 420er have the same differential? How is this with the starting moment support? Is it? t this retrofittable/refitable? Please advise me on expert advice! MfG vl

  • Need urgent help, cooler and ?climate cooler? broken.

    Hello, last night it caught me, I drive into a right turn at normal speed and the car starts to slide. I mow a garden gate around. Owners found, agreed and paid for by me. Now to the problem. The mowing has caught the cooler. And also the climate cooler probably also sitting there (meaning at least a mechanic I then called). From below, the cool has seen a spot in which a bump is visible inwards. Shortly afterwards, I saw a mechanic. Now my question: Is the cooler and the climate cooler both in one or are it separate parts that you have to buy? How long does the installation and installation of both take? What things should be taken care of? Is it done in a master workshop of my trust and I assume that there are no problems, but maybe there are some things you have to pay special attention to at the W220. Maybe someone is looking after me. nfos from the WIS?? Would be great. And what do the parts cost if you buy them directly from Mercedes? Thank you in advance.

  • Battery/generator problems with W220

    Hello, I drive an S-Class (W220 400CDI BJ 01 Model 2002) to all I had yesterday morning during the ride the volgende problem. On the display appeared once the symbol (BATTERY/GENERATOR REQUESTS) and the AUTOMATIC LIGHT went off. The car drove but continued to have a short hand manuel turned on passing light and the light went home as quickly as possible. In short, all systems shortly before the failure. BATTERIE TOT. New battery in made car also starts well. A diagnosis was made error could not be fixed. AUTO… LIGHT still doesn’t work. I believe that the LIMA is broken or (the regulator just USE). My question is: 1. You have to build the whole front outside? Just as I saw it. 2. What about the water cooler or climate cooler? Extensions or how? 3. Does climate have to be filled NEW? etc…. Thanks in advance guide EURE proposals Merry Christmas and a good slide into the New Year

  • Can you weld the cast under the engine (alu?)?

    Hello, everything is done with me now, get the next super message now, my uncle has had a slide and is upside down on the curb. Cooler etc everything in order, the shock bar has some scratches but one makes him crazy, when jacking up it has torn a part away from the cast on the right cross handlebar at the front axle, where the cross handlebar is attached, near it has torn away a piece ( 2cm wide one cm high). But only at the back, the cross handlebar is at the front The place where it is screwed is not damaged. It is now forcing itself whether it is dangerous, whether it is necessary to change it or if it is possible to weld it. Because the whole front part hangs on it. Is there a lot of pressure on it, so that it can even tear? On the side where it is ok, it is not particularly massive, therefore it is not sure. Go to it and try it today. to take a picture.

  • W221 now for under 40,000€ !

    So I know now that I’m going to buy the current W221 this year! Now S350 is already available for well under 40,000€. S500 already for just over 40,000€ and under 100,000€! What do you think it’s recommended to buy one of the first ones? Are there bigger problems with the W221 series? The S350 is too weak for me on the chest, which I had to “test” by my friend for 3 days. Has anyone ever driven the S450? Is he with my S500 from the Or is the S500 the optimal engine of the S-Class again? Greetings

  • Need help with buying a model

    Hello guys, I’m completely new here and need some information and tips because of new car purchase. I thought for a long time what I bought exactly, I thought about a 530i or 540i first, but it has pulled me some way to the MB. I haven’t had any experience with MB only had a few meals with TAXI, so I would like to ask everything (I’ve already read a lot in the forum myself) Would like to buy a S500 (possibly S320) Bj ca 2000-2001. I don’t actually have that much money and don’t make much money either. so much, but I just want to buy a car with which I can drive next 10-12 years (even more) and not worry about looking around for a new car. S500 I have already seen from about 12.000-14.000.-, same for S320. I would like to convert the S500 to gas (someone already has experiences with it)Because about 16-18 liters of petrol in the city, resist me already too much, but with gas prices it is optimal for me. S500 in price class 12 to 14.500.- Euro (is also my From Bj2000, however, almost all km were between 180 and 250TKM, is it not too much? How long does the engine last? And gearbox? (generally) I don’t drive so much, about 20-30TKM a year, so the MB will still be able to withstand 300TKM? Without having to repair big and put money in? Which wear parts have reached their limit with the KM? How can I see if the gearbox or engine are not the best? We recommend to bring the car to TUV or Dekra before buying it. or better directly to MB? At the KM stood, which parts I have to change, coming to me in the next years? and cost? What costs approx. insurance HP and TK? (have 50%) Do the S500 and S320 have the same equipment (technically) or is the 500 better than 320 (not motor)? For the beginning is actually everything, so be very grateful for help.

  • When buying a used S-Class W220 320CDI

    Hi have a general question. Is there a possibility for Mercedes that the KM stand, inspection dates, possible pre-damage etc. can be obtained from the PC in every branch office? Or is the whole thing dependent on the branch office and there is no federal database? What can I clarify before the purchase still everything in order not to make a wrong purchase?
