If you don’t want to sell v-power petrol and diesel, you can call them “premium fuel” now. Meanwhile, there are different fuel stations and sell overteuren “wundersaft”. what should the “cheinsprit still”? every benziner runs with v-power gasoline great view… soon there are only two fuel types: v-power gasoline for 1.85 euro and v-power diesel for 1.65 euro there is probably no specialized magazine or television magazine in which the “new” trend would not have been questioned. you don’t drive further, faster or cleaner. free after the motto “adventure is always better” tank nevertheless some better known premium. is it because they have to be loud enough and for a long time no other ideas have more to fill up than their seemingly annoying money? let’s you build up ural-lkw-motors if you don’t want to be expensive, but you don’t have to find the big fuel group.

Moin from Hamburg! As quite a MB newcomer I was quite surprised that the friendly around the corner offered me the change of the automatic oil for my 89er 500 SE at a great price. However, I was even more surprised than on the bill only 5.5 l ATF – ÖL appeared. According to my MB original manual, however, the change should replace 7.7 l ATF oil. After several queries, also with the workshop master, it was insisted that 5.5 l are correct and enough. Finally, the oil level was checked, and found sufficient. More oil was damaged the transmission… and so on and so on…. Now the question of all questions: What’s right now? The manual or the workshop master? What happens if the manual is right and the automatic is destroyed? Greeting!

The following construction defects at the W220 annoy me: …and nevertheless I saw after my first S400CDI no alternative… …have bought me my 2nd S400CDI _ L. And knew so what is coming to me. ———— Know only the VorMopf!!!!!! – Disc wiper if laid off ==} VIEWABLE how to lay windshield wipers invisibly at the W126 – when opening the wet boot lid ́s water runs into the trunk – the rainboards on the front panel left and right are practically not present, when pressing the windscreen wash system (longer, violent) runs the whole suttche right and left over the side windows, quite great!!! with the W126 perfectly solved. – the adjustment area of the ventilation nozzles is too small (top/bottom and left/right) applies to all nozzles in the dashboard. Perfectly however, in the W126. – the maximum possible air quantity, if everything is open, is too small – the seat wags while braking and back (for and back) – the KHwing is not limited to the speedtronic.

Hello, need a little help from you. I’ve been looking for a lot and looking at the forum, but I didn’t really find the right answers to my questions. I changed my workplace a month ago and since then I have to drive about 100 km every day. I don’t want to do this with my CLK Cab, because it is a pity for me and I prefer to unsubscribe from it in winter. A monthly ticket would cost me about 150 €, so I thought about buying a comfortable 6 cylinder for the winter or also for the rides to work, which I can then convert to gas. The consumption should not necessarily be about 20 liters (after the conversion to gas), because this limousine is only for simple cruising and your purpose to fulfill. Swank between S320 and S430. Bj. 1999/2000. The running performance of the engine would not be so important for me, since I will have to drive a lot and the KM are not so important for these vehicles. Important for me is: – S320 or S430. Bj. 1999/2000. The running performance of the engine would not be so important for me, because I have to take care for a lot of wearing of my leather.

Hello from Manne, can someone give me from you a tip, what one notices that the engine bearing(s) are defective ? As far as I know are the oil-filled bearing, two for the engine, one for the Autom. transmission. So on these three bearings, lies the drive unit. What do I notice when one or two slowly give up the mind ? And after how much km ? Have now 148 Tsd Km down, engine is a 350. Would be grateful for any answer. Greeting, men

Hello, today I saw a S 260 Bj 1986 at a used car dealer and suddenly fell in love with me. However, I would like to ask you what I have to pay attention to when buying or how the tax from the car beats to book etc. How many km would the car keep roughly estimated because it has already 288000km down but still looks so great. Thanks for the answers Mfg Dickworzkarl

Hello I am again! I was with a further screwdriver of my trust today and have the car on the lifting platform for the purpose of the rusting of the axle already in my eye. It came out that this rusting is probably half as wild and will cost me probably 500 to 600 €. On the actual topic: My engine loses a lot of oil. I have already suspected the valve shaft seals, but the whole engine dries externally. Is a good corosion protection, but I will be too expensive in the long term. What can this be? Head gasket? Is there “classic” that cause this? Last Sunday my beauty has remained lying. Gas pump relays broken. Simply went out without warning in operation. However, I noticed that what is lazy because I had to leave it about 1.5 seconds until the jump. Since the relay and some cables were changed, they jump again without problems at no matter how cold it is and above all the speed I had recently reported. How can not be fired by the fuel consumption? So it was easy to find out that I was able to fix the fuel pressure.

I’ve been here before and I’ve got a lot of advice – thank you for that! Because I’ve never found the old topic? So now it’s new: In the summer of 2008 it started: in the longer orgel, until the car started to work, he didn’t go at all. I changed the following parts due to tips: – spark plugs – ignition distributor lid – ignition cable – ignition coil – fuel filter – fuel pump relay (160,-!!!) Not everything at once, and after each exchange he ran again quite wonderful for a few days. The first ignition coil (90,-) was totally charred, the second one is now in it. The cable was bad, and so I hoped that this would have been the problem – thought! So now I have a giant Wut and at the same time the total Frust. What can’t be on this mill (which was a wonderful vehicle) but still my still has to be broken? The candles have to be lit up again.

Hello, in our longer search for a W140 we have now found a S420 from 1997. Well equipped, 169,000km. Actually, the car is top – only clack the hydro plunger light. Does anyone have an idea, a) what this can come from and b) how expensive a repair would come, if there is nothing else? What can such a car cost taking into account the mentioned lack (the seller wants approx. 6000)? Equipment/ Data: 1. hand, automatic, air conditioning, driver airbag, sidebags front, passenger airbag, driver and passenger seat electr. adjustable, ABS, drive loop control, window lift electric 4-way, seat left/right orthopaedic, radio/casset, immobilizer, outdoor temperature indicator, servo closure, color glazing, exterior mirror foldable, servo steering, central locking with remote bed., wood equipment noble wood, alarm system, Tempomat, aluminium rims, 3. brake light, , fog lamp, thank you, your Joe.

Hello, since I want to change my job and therefore have to leave my service car at the end of January I think about a W220 (short) approx. year 1999 or 2000 to 200000km, sheckheftgepflegtgefügt für ca. 12000 €. Will then drive relatively little, because work directly on the front door. Treasures times about 10000-15000km / year, 70% highway, 30% city. I am not sure if I get for the money only “scrap heaps” with infinite repair needs – a little money I will definitely keep ready for possible defects. Would a few questions about it and am grateful for every information: Think of an S320, S430 or is often worth a S400 CDI? On what fuel consumption (with normal driving mode) do I have to adjust to these models? What else should I pay attention to (equipment, year of construction, wear characteristics etc.)? Do you prefer a model without “Command” to minimize any electronic defects? Thanks in advance for your answers or info links.
