Category: Mercedes S-Class & CL Forum

Hello, since I want to find out at the moment whether a W 140 is the right car for me, I want to know if you can use it nowadays, the market launch was already 1990, thus driving, rather than someone with a slope to waste, or rather a little sausage, which can not even afford a contemporary car. Anyway, with all the spookyness that the line of this old S-Class brings with it, I find that it is also a very elegant car. The driving comfort is probably still impeccable even according to today’s standards. Does anyone have more precise knowledge of whether the crash safety, which is inherent to the W 140, also withstands comparisons with the average level of today’s newer vehicles? Or was this Mercedes only considered to be a particularly safe car in the 90s, because it is so difficult? Thank you very much! T. C.

Hello, I have set up a new topic on this particular problem of the ZV because it became too unclear to me in the previous topic. The following solution of the problem in my opinion: Cause is a defective valve block of the vacuum system. This is located in the footroom to the right of the passenger side. As soon as the side carpet is removed. Easy to recognize as violet slurry as well as yellow and white are connected there. All W140 to Ser.No. A216190. after there was a modified valve from MB (Why?). Parts No. to A216190 is A 140 800 0478 From A 216190 it is A 129 800 1478. The reason will probably be a defective backstroke valve in the valve block. This can suck oil mist from the intake chamber of the engine up to the pump. The oil can flood the entire valve block and other functions such as the heating valves (climate), ZV, headrests and pillars are broken. Gruss Andycape

Hello everyone in the forum. I’m new and need advice! Try to keep me short! Had recently had new shock absorbers installed by specialist workshop with bill. Dampers were bought over the internet.Results: Ride on the highway, extended curve, wagon swings up, set me across the direction of travel and slide with 150 kmh over the train !!! Hurra, I live still bought new dampers and let them build again with bill ! Question: Who comes now for the effort of the again The manufacturer (KYB) turns across, the dealer does not move! Hope any of you can give legal tips, I am happy about any answer. Greetings, efka63

Task: This ensures that even at low speeds (low flow rate of the coolant pump of the engine) an even water flow is applied to the interior heat exchanger. Control: It is controlled by the control unit air conditioning via CAN-BUS on the front right via the SAM. Installation position in the vehicle: —with pictures— http://www.motor-talk.de/faq/mercedes-s-class-q14.html#Q2503877 Test: Drive the engine really warm. Button —REST— Press. Temp. setting: Left and right to — -HI— then the pump MUST be running!!! If there is no warm air, the pump does not run. Pull off the pump plugs and put directly 12V on it, in a quiet environment you can hear if it is running. Important: If the heating system is stationary –EIN— one is the heating water circulating pump ALWAYS OFF. Conclusion: If the pump is defective, it is not bad. If you are satisfied with the heating performance and the –REST- function is not required. For the function of the heating system it is not required.

Hope I’m better off here! Sry for double! Hello, I’ve been finding the Cl (bj ca. 2000 i think c215 is the name) really interesting and thanks to the economic crisis the prices are really in the cellar! well, however, I have no idea of the technology and susceptibility!!! I would like to “read” some experiences of you in matters – consumption (which is supposed to be at 12L *laughs?*) – tax – inspection/maintenance etc. what do I have to consider when buying. i want i hn if then in any case only as two cars driving possibly season marks and about 4000Km in year Mfg Ben

Hello dear forum community!!! I have the problem that now also the windows are fogged. Especially on the passenger side. I can not even get it free after half an hour drive. Have changed the interior filters already. Despite that, hardly any air comes out of the defroster flap on the right, although the blower runs full power. Think that something is clogged and hardly fresh air comes in. Does anyone have an idea where I can start looking? Greeting vengos

Hello! If you want to find out about the ASD on the Internet, you could turn smoothly (hh, yes to the topic ). Some say that the ASD would lock the rear axle if a wheel goes through to distribute the force evenly on both wheels. The others say, however, that the ASD would work between the front and rear axles from a difference of 2km/h and the force that goes on the rear axle can only reach a small part. (so it is also in the instruction – wa But it doesn’t make much sense for an amateur like me) As I understand it, these are two completely different things – couldn’t even be more different. And that’s all in the inet (google search). I’m beginning to despair. Would be really grateful if someone could clarify that. I don’t know if there are different concepts for the ASD. I’m primarily concerned with the W126, especially row six cylinder with manual circuit. If I know what the ASD is now really, this would be helpful, because you could use the system more consciously in winter. “Helps with smoothness” is just as helpful to me as “Electricity comes from the socket”.

Hello experts! On my S320 with automatic air conditioning I noticed on the weekend on 500km drive that the temperature set to 22C in the interior can not be h a l t e n. The first half hour it runs 1a and then hardly any air comes out of the ventilation…..it sounds as if somehow the ventilation runs but the air cannot blow into the interior (as if something is clogged, i.e. even with manual intervention and highest ventilation stage no more air is in motion The fan then runs on full power—only– air or wind draft is not to be felt. Only after switching to “climate off” & nomal ventilation (red diode burns)—–and then again “KLIMA AN” the system adjusts itself again. WHO would have a hint about what this might be? Thanks in advance for tips!!!

Hello together, first of all I would like to say how great you find this forum. Were already many solutions for me, unfortunately not the right one yet. So, now to my problem. Drive an S600 year 1991. For about half a year I have the problem, which the gearbox has different symptoms. At normal start-up it switches down at about 30 kmh into the first gear and then immediately up again. At kick down from the stand, the problem does not occur. In addition, it is so, if I At about 80 kmh the speed of the kickdown wants to do, the speed goes into the rotary fence limiter, as if it were switching into a too low gear. These problems do not always occur. Sometimes the gearbox also switches very delayed and slow. The car was in a MB “specialist workshop”. This swallowed up to today approx. 800€. Previously the inspections were made fairly. MB has probably changed pretty much everything that came to mind. Among other things, the LMM, both Kat. I checked the switch “B” myself – it’s ok. The engine is running like one now. For example, if you do kickdown on the highway from 130 kmh, it will mask up without any problems. I have the feeling that he has any problems with the first gear. I don’t know any more about that. Would be a great Christmas present if someone had some solutions and I didn’t have to give up my baby. ank in advance and Merry Christmas greeting Markus
