  • best price/power ratio w116 – w140

    Hello, I have to sell my good w123 in about 2-3 years ago, in order to then switch to a class w116, w126 or w140, tax + insurance goes from old direction to new top, if I am not mistaken. tax are w140 and w126 similar?! what does it look like with the w140? especially insurance technology? since I will only look around in 2-3 years after such vehicles, would also a market forecast be interesting.. maybe someone knows each other? w126 rise already again since a few years, but because of the high number of pieces probably not so much…? w140 are still sinking at the moment, but probably not for long?! what does it look like technically with the w140, partial price, in relation to w116/26? since there are no more so many of the w116, this should not be moved even with rain.. I am currently going in the direction of w126, whereby the w140 would appeal more, however, I don’t know the costs with this vehicle so well. my opa was from 69 – 02 in the area s-class at mb, I could consider this a discount for myself, as I would not have to go to the workshop for every “problem”…? I would have about 5-600€ available, which is not much…

  • Coke slices ?

  • Activity – Petrol pump ?

    Hello, a few questions for the technicians among us: I have heard that the petrol pump is not constantly in operation – question: is that correct ? What happens if the petrol pump is shut down and stays off while driving ? (e.g. if the ground line is interrupted to the ground connection point under the rear seat (in the W220) ). I am interested in this because such a relatively simple anti-theft protection would be possible – but would like to assume that then any steering gear would be used. Save the error messages… Could you also prevent the car from starting? Greetings

  • Yeah, man, the Ingolf’s birthday!

  • W220 5-speed gearbox problems

    Hello motor-talker, I have the following with my S500: If the engine is cold, the gearbox switches back extremely late in sliding mode, so if I manually limit the maximum possible gear. I observe this especially from the 3rd to the 2nd gear. I had an oil change at 70 tkm. Current km stand is 85 tkm. Has someone already solved a similar problem or what are your recommendations? Or is that normal? Greeting Udo

  • S class with electric turbo

    When I saw the first time kn Aliexpres electric turbo, I knew that it was scrapped, but I also understood that the future is. In China ware is the problem that you can copy well but not have your own development. Audi had it before, Mercedes now too. In lower rotation, an electric turbo with 48v helps the drive until the turbo itself has enough power. Soon, this should also exist for small engines. How do you see it, it was so swirly that something like that too What do you need to do to charge a branch hose, an electric motor that rotates quickly enough (from 70000 turns), a larger battery with 48 volts and accordingly a light engine with the power of this, And control unit (with frequency converter to speed up the electric turbo depending on the need).. Quite erlich the problem with turbo hole exists already so long, was it really so difficult to develop this? Dysen shows with its electric motors that even 200000 revolutionizes g easy to lie in, with battery power. What do you think? As soon as it is available for s212 I montier that.

  • Upgrade S500 or 280 SL to LPG – clear numbers please!

    As a beginner, tech-freak and masch.bauer, I finally ask for a rollover calculation: Like one of the 500 he – freaks, because convert to my 280 he, I can easily myself; question: 1) With these high-volume motors you have how much km range with LPG ? 2) volume of bottles = ………, at ……bar; this is an energy content of = ………. kWh or in kJ; [The unit you have ready]; 3) I have a lot of space in 280 SL not in the small trunk! Are there shorter bottles that fit in and what approximate range or even kWh energy content do the smaller ones have ? Conversions I can if necessary myself, or does the TÜV require a workshop – certification? 4) The advantages that I imagine: gas does not make any exhaust fumes for inner cities; this should result in Euro 4 or 5; help: a 1900 kg car (280 SL) thus needs about 15 liters of super petrol / 100km; i.e. 180 kWh; How much kWh contains a typical LPG – Bottle? Answer: ……….; Right? McRoad

  • 300SEL(W126)– spark plug change…?

    Once again: Hello experts! Have you had any experience with the spark plug change? According to the boardbook, this should be done every 10,000Km. Do you have any other suggestions? P.S. How do I remove the soo fixed candle plugs? I use copper paste when twisting the new candles, or how firmly do I turn them without a torque wrench? Thank you in advance!

  • Decision-making aid W126 Coupe (C126)

    Would you like to drive one of these? And that would be near me:http://suchen.mobile.de/…/showDetails.html?… Unfortunately I have no idea of the W126 or C126 My questions: 1. Is the condition original? So if it should come to this H license plate capable? Can the gas system stay? 2. What is the equipment? Wide range series or extras? 3. What do I have to pay attention to? What are the weak points (car body/technics)? Don’t want to write too many questions. if, I ask again. mfg Michael

Have already a stainless steel exhaust exhaust from Kat from Reuter-Motorsport, but am nen bisi released from the sound of this exhaust system. My question now to you, can I change what air filters technically to raise a higher suction noise or can I do something on the exhausts….?
