Hello people ! I am with my wife and the 260er since a few days in Hamburg (live in Mönchengladbach, easy distance are about 430 km). Yesterday I noticed coolant loss and was therefore yesterday in a MB branch here in HH. Result: was actually clear: the water pump says goodbye and fast a repair is not possible, since we drive tomorrow (so Saturday) anyway back home. However, the master at MB said, with moderate driving mode and regularly the filling of the coolant tank should be the way to make it – but of course I’m worried. Therefore my question to you: do you see this as well ? Did any of you ever have similar problems ? Or do you have any other tricks in stock to master the track ? I am grateful for every tip ! Greetings from HH (is already a very interesting metropolis), tom260

Hello Today the spring memory was changed at my W140, finally it drives normally and does not jump anymore 🙂 But now I have a question about the level control because I found nothing in the manual about it. How does it work, always thought that when the engine runs and I sit eg on the trunk edge the car automatically pumps up. But it doesn’t do that, hear after a few seconds that under the car is a bit hissing but it doesn’t do anything. You have to drive o What’s this all about? Greetings Michael

Good ABend! After my W210 (270cdi) I actually thought – NEVER MORE BENZ! But now I found a Mod.2000 /EZ2001 W220 320CDI at a dealer. So it’s only true with 107000km ! at the price of EUR 14.900,– untraded. (Please no price tips – because of too expensive etc. … in Austria you have to be happy to find such a car, I will act naturally, but actually the price is with the small selection OK) For inexplicable reasons was at that time in the equipment gespa rt – it is missing e.g. seat memory and especially a NAVI !!!! Now to my question: can you retrofit this with the car – or is not worth the effort ?? If yes, what would you have to buy everything ? Thank you for your tips ! lg Willy

hello ! once again a small 😉 problem with a benz. s-class w 220 ez 05/1999 s 320 gasoline automatic air suspension the following condition: on straight distances (for dodenshafts / gulli lids it crashes at the front axle. during steering impact it also crashes at the front axle. especially: almost only when the roads are wet ! mercedes has found nothing ! error memory has already been read several times by moved workshops ! the crash is really unpleasant !! statement bymerc edes benz: just keep going, it doesn’t fall apart – you know the new price of the s320 for sure 🙂 the whole thing is going like this for about 2 months now! ok, what I already had changed. 1. the compressor for the air suspension. 2. your right crossbar. but it wasn’t both. it still crawls. today’s statement by mercedes benz: ok, then we throw everything out of the front axle and make everything new, then it would have to be quiet! cool or ?! what mercedes wants for that I need yes don’t write here, or…… does someone have such a problem with their s – great ? or, even better, can someone tell me what that can be ?? would be really grateful for a useful tip !!!

Hello guys, this is what happened on weekends: On Friday I was on my way to Frankfurt with a buddy. Suddenly an inch car drove in front of me, which I had to follow until the next rest place. There I was chased by a customs officer in a white tent, where my car was then searched by customs. To crown everything was filmed by a camera team of RTL for a reportage. So if you want to know what happened and if she had anything to do with me. the days look car is a black CL (see profile) best greeting, and you all have an accident-free ride into the spring ! blue320

Hello! I wanted to ask myself if a rear axle differential change with a W126 or W124 is possible or recommended without too much effort. The 300s are actually quite short translated compared to the eight cylinders (3,27 vs 2,24 if I am not mistaken). Can one install the 2.82 rear axle of the 420er into a 300er in order to drive more smoothly? (which should have a positive effect on wear and consumption) Or is this counterproductive because the car in the cityve Return “more effort” must be made? Best greeting to all!

in an article quite negatively set against the technology madness, the new york times will be tested the new s-class. the writer enjoys a error message, points to the very bad performance of the old s-class at j.d.powers and comments in conclusion rather bitterly: “driver unwanted”. you have probably already discussed the electronic flood of the new s-class too complacent, but I did not want to withhold the test above. in the world there appeared a too well fitting comment. here too, the disengagement of the driver and the overflowing flood of never used miraculous functions is criticized. liebe gruss oli

hello to all s-class drivers! play for a long time with the idea of getting me a s-class. but I have been a happy bmw driver for a long time. a 530i with many extras. but since I am a lot on the road and do not want to give up on much comfort I think about a s500 after w220! since the 7er of the design does not appeal to me as the s-class. so my questions would be there problem with used s-classes, what should be taken into account, there is a big difference to the 430 or 420 my is e in 430. how is that with high km performances? think also of a diesel only one hears that the are vulnerable that is true?

Hello guys, My father is currently driving a W220 S 500 long from 02/2000 with 68,000 kilometers. The vehicle has caused so many problems in the last 15,000 kilometers that my father now wants a facelift, in the hope that it will get better. What has everything changed with the facelift and is it much better than the one before Facelift? Are the errors mostly fixed? Did that hear that Facelift got a better suspension? Now a few questions about the colors. new that is in view, is emerald black metallic with leather anthracite. My father is currently driving obsidan black metallic with black leather. What looks more beautiful from obsidan black or emerald black? What’s the difference? Do you have the feeling that there is almost only obsidan black and hardly emerald black where is that? Does emerald black have a blue stitch? Does some pictures come across as such. Is the difference between black and anthracite leather very large and striking? The seller mei nd it looks really black for him. Do you think the combination is good between emerald black and anthracite leather? The car stands 300 kilometers away from us and therefore we do not want to experience evil surprises. Unfortunately I find hardly any pictures of these colors. Do you have any? Thank you for your help…

Hello together. I bought a CL-500 2 weeks ago black / black nappa very nice, was also relatively cheap. The only option which this lacks (there were 12/99 not yet) is the Distronic, since someone has experience whether you can install it afterwards at all, re-authenticate or this would only be associated with astronomical costs. Question 2 would like to buy the CL rims on spring someone has suitable rims (which width you have to buy and which tyres are allowed) 19 or 20″ think ic h should it be or or does someone know a great web address or suppliers where to get such MAE, Brabus and Carlsson, Lorinser are a term to me there are other cheaper or more meaningful ones? Thank you for your feedback. Gruss johnny
