Category: Mercedes S-Class & CL Forum

Hello, wanted to open a collection thread in which everyone can post the most ugly tuning catastrophes in his opinion. If we can post several pictures then let’s get started. I start with a C140. Forget to write: Please only post Mercedes and above all S and CL. Disasters of VW and BMW 3s can be seen every day.

Hello 126 friends, I wanted to change the interior filter of my starship for a long time. Unfortunately, I can’t find any information about it on the internet. I’ve even read that I shouldn’t have one, but only 126 with climate. I don’t have a climate in mine. But I have to have an interior filter. The maintenance booklet also says: every 120000 km the activated carbon filter is changed. Is that the same or? Where does it sit in the vehicle? Thank you for your contributions! MfG SirQuickly

Hello Fangemeinde! Unfortunately I tried to get rid of my bike in vain today… Is probably in the workshop with the previous owner so strongly tightened that I can not get a screw(Alu) from my original MB-Alufelge. I tried to solve it already with hammers on the screw head, unfortunately in vain. Officially these should have been tightened with 110Nm, but was probably the terrible air compressor screwdriver. -WHER would have a tip for me, like I the bikes Would there be a trick, perhaps with refrigerant or something like that? I am very grateful for your hints!!!

Hello together, the following question: if you pull off the connector of the ABS/ASR control unit (seat in the engine room in front of the windscreen with a large plug) with the W126 with ASR1, does the cruise control still work? In order to get on with my cruise-egas problem, I absolutely have to limit the causes of the errors! @ Jörg I hope you read this: Moritz and I spent a long time with my e-gas on Sunday. We got a little further, but still stuck. here my question: For my sake you pulled off this plug with you and the cruise control still worked. Is that really true or did I bring something into it? If so I can ignore my ABS/ASR control unit and all the parameters of influence on this! I think you have ASR2 but that should be equivalised with the ASR1? I would be very happy about your information, Jogi

Hello together, Since the one of my construction sites is now completed (heating and seat back lock) and I will next expand the airbag steering wheel (must be restocked) I want to tackle two other problems at the same time: 1. ASR lamp constantly lights up and ASR doesn’t work either 2. the cruise control lever is broken off and cruise control doesn’t work either. Since the cruise control somehow works together with the ASR now my question to you: can I separate the two systems v My guess is that I’m going to make the cruise control run again first and then the ASR first? Do I have to/can I paralyze the ASR and test the tempomat? Generally, a search for errors in two cooperating systems is just bad. Would I be happy if I could get your expert advice. Greetings, Jörg p.s.@Moritz: I WILL MY ASR

Hello dear w140 community! A w140 S600 is supposed to be here. I have successfully finished my studies and the job is at the door (sure I will miss the student life ). I had studied in sunny Los Angeles for a year, what had to be done of course? Sure, a w140! I bought a w140 S320 (year of construction ’95) at the time and I have never been rid of this car since. For me it was clear that it must be a w140 again here in Germany. Of course, it is best to have a S600. you in general? Let’s leave the fuel and the maintenance (which certainly won’t be cheap) out and ahead. Of course, I would prefer one from the year 96-98 (so one of the “newer” models). Are there certain things you would pay special attention to? Certainly the machine should not have exactly 300,000km on the needle. 5 previous owners are perhaps not necessarily advisable! Would I be very happy if we could get a small/big discussion together here En. Looking forward to your answers! Greetings Julian

Hello Forumsgemeinde as an old W210er I would like to switch to W221Mopf. Unfortunately many annual cars have no ambient lighting. Can one retrofit these with half reasonable effort??? Thank you for Tips Franz

Hello, after my previous search for a C215 was only partially successful I have extended my search a bit. Since I want to drive with the car quite normal a heater is mandatory for me. What do you think of this offer?Carlsson C140 And then immediately the decisive question after: Can one undo such a lowering again? Or is there anyway everything completely tinkered … The pimped tail cover does not quite meet my taste, but with it I could still live. Any meaningful opinion is welcome lg, Jens Edit: link now (hopefully) correct
