  • Running power current S class !

    Do we have S class drivers in the forum who can provide information about the mileage of your vehicles? Whether diesel or petrol. I sat in the taxi of the S 320 CDI a few weeks ago one of the first, who had already 550,000 km on the clock. As he says: “without problems”! M.F.G. Andreas

  • S55 AMG What is still VALUE?

    Hello, play a S55 AMG with the idea to give me over the summer. What do you think is the following car still worth. I’m not interested in what it is still worth according to some list, (can I read for myself) but what would YOU spend for example on such a vehicle?!?! Or do you know someone who has become such an old S-class? To the car: S55 AMG, year 07.2002, (No MOPF), 78,000km from first hand with a complete checkbook. Obsidian black. He ha t everything, really everything from Liguartronics and Distronics to Keyless Go and a massage function in the seats. He also has a TV function in the front and back. What do you mean?

  • New commercial for the W221

    Hello Folks, I haven’t appeared in the S-Class Forum yet. I wanted to catch up on that. I’ve been enthusiastic about the Mercedes-Benz vehicles for a long time. I don’t think another brand is in fact possible for me. Mercedes is an attitude. But actually I wanted something completely different: I just saw the commercial for the new S-Class on VOX. I don’t know if any of you have seen it before: I’ve just seen it for the first time. You can see a lot of lists first and the speaker tells me something about “Everyone writes lists. People love lists. And all lists have one thing in common: the new S-Class is in 1st place” Maybe someone already has the commercial on his computer? Would like to include it in my little Mercedes archive, as I find it very nice. Would be nice if I were welcome here. I intended to become an S-Class driver soon and to “run around” more often here. en Englander

  • Refined or usually?

    Hello, I’m absolutely not sure, this is about a taste question. Here is a picture of my “little one”, once in the original condition, then once with the chrome rings to be bought as accessories. What better / chic/ nobler? I had these chrome rings before, but were wrongly mounted and flew almost away at speed 200. Had cost me 100 Euro. I bought now at Eybay: chrome rings for headlights, chrome – door handle shells and chrome rings for the rear lights. I don’t know if I like it – it sounds funny, but it’s like that. Financially, it wasn’t bad, all together under 100 euros. I’d rather throw away 100 euros than rotting my benzli. PLEASE just write down your opinion. Thanks for your help. ACH YES: I think this forum is really great, it’s a friendly and helpful atmosphere. Except for the idiots of the other day, who got out of hand in the choice of words. Unfortunately, there are always such intellectual deep-fledgers. But the guy has been kindly reprimanded and has improved since then. The bad thing, I see him every day, especially when shaving 🙂 Ask for answers. MFG Pluto

  • W220 Difference between the 320 and 430 engines??

    hello, will buy me the w220 this summer and the closest choice is only about whether I should get the 320 or the 430. have the following questions: 1.are the consumption differences very low (0.5-1liter difference are very low) and most important: 2.are the engines having special problems that the other engine does not have?? (as for example the 6 cylinders of the e38 have much more probs than the 8 cylinders) it’s only about these questions everything else is with both gleic h. mfg

  • W126 Security

    What about the occupant safety of the W126? Can you survive an accident noc in such an old car? Is there a crash test a la euro-ncap from the W126? How does it look with the safety in the ncahsufer w140? Which car is more recommended? How does it look in the w126 in case of a severe side impact? Should I rather buy a Volvo S80 or an old S (e.g. w140)? Is that true that the S (at least the current one) is very stiff, and the accident energy on the small one? Iwe then looks at a crash between s-classes? Thanks for your answers mfg oli

  • S-Class inspection

    Hello, now that the big one has remained in Bavaria, because the air suspension or the compressor has given up the spirit, the Service B (large inspection) was also taken care of. Yesterday he was brought back to us and I am not happy The first thing that was noticed is that the stupid tailgate opens properly. NEVER goes up completely but either it opens the flap only little or only half as far as it could. So far nobody has come to this in the 6 inspections. But what I don’t understand is that the car has now come to Service B at 196,550 Km … in the menu he points out that he wants a service B again in 14,000Km…is that normal ?? A 2nd point is that they have filled in in in the workshop 8 liters of oil (is only the 320 petrol) and now when I control the oil level over Ki he tells me “oil level too high. Please release oil!” Can it be because of the high temperatures (currently still 25 degrees) and goods is in the shade. What do you mean ? Mfg Freddykl

  • 560SEC different engine variants…Equipment possible?

    Hello dear fan community, I am currently looking intensively for 560sec`lern and am close to getting one. I am now quite familiar with the weaknesses and different types, now only a general question to understand: In the new model generation from 1986 there was a subsequent performance increase of the 5.6 litre moror to 279hp or 300hp (without cat). At the moment I am on a really perfectly standing model from 1986 from first hand. This was original I have a RÜF with a registered 272hp, the cat has been retrofitted one or two years after EZ by Mercedes. Is it possible to destroy the engine without him fundamental and without inserting 1000€ to get this engine also the power from 1987… it also brings something just to clamp off the cat ( in ppar years it is anyway oldtimer). Thank you already in advance. LG Klaus PS: I know the SEC is not a racing car etc, I’m concerned about minor changes about the performance of only after 19 ==References==

  • W140 and envy

    Hello, I wanted to briefly describe my impressions how people react to the W140. I have been driving a 400SE of `92 for almost half a year. Actually an old box. I have to find out again and again that people are still extremely envious of this vehicle (don’t look at it). Very bad are older men. They look basically from the corner of the eye on the car. When parking I am often grinned and when I fill up at the gas station for 128€ I will even be a A neighbor who enjoys a new C-class every 2 years doesn’t say good day to me anymore. What’s this about? Do you have similar infatuations with the “thickness”? Greetings Bert PS: Sorry for the layout. I can’t handle this new version here yet.
