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.

Hello MB fans! Interest me now for a 420SE from 10/1990 with 167TKM and full equipment (leather, 2 airbags, etc.). Would you like to have it converted to LPG. -WHER has had experience with it? -WELCHE LPG system is recommended? -WIE high are the conversion costs? -How is the lifespan then? I am grateful for your tips!

Hello S-Class driver: If your vehicle has a standard alarm system, where the turn signals are turned on when the alarm is triggered (blink) then this pager is just the right thing to do. Simply connect brilliantly, 600m range. 300m is falsely indicated in the product info. In the PDF operating instructions the actual 600m. THE LINK:http://www.louis.de/…/index.php?… The LINK for the installation instructions:www.louis.de/shop/addition/anl/10034963.PDF Have the part in me. Works perfectly. Connection is absolutely perfect. Connection is simple: In the trunk right or left simply solder on the board of the back light. The flash lamp has 2 connections, on the relevant connections (conductors) solder on it. + and – (mass) does not change. FERTIG!!! Functions:When the lamp flashes, the transmitter gets 12V and sends it.

Hello dear friends of the MB vehicles I have been a member of the motor-talk since yesterday and have already been fully animated. Live for eleven years in Brazil and have decided a few weeks ago to pay tribute to “my” revered brand Mercedes-Benz. Before I emigrated from Switzerland to BR in the beginning of 1997, I had owned various MB vehicles for 15 years and thus developed myself into a complete (but not “blind” fan of the brand. (details see in A-Class W168 under “Without MB-Werkstatt). So I bought a 99-er W220 (S 500) – beautiful and fully equipped, but will only be delivered in about two weeks and immediately for my girlfriend a 99-er W168 (A 160) – also with full equipment and little km-performance. My problem will be that I don’t have a MB-relief close by, but I am already looking forward to maintaining with you all the lively technical contact in order not to neglect the two Benzchen. To the “stand” I put in a picture of my future companion and greet all of the southern Hemisphere.

Since I’ve been looking for a W126 to collect for a long time and have avoided car exchanges on the Internet so far, I’ve come across a car at autoscout, which I like purely optically and “from the paper”. Maybe someone here knows the car, has already visited it, driven it, etc.? Does not want to arrive 400km, then to have a better wreck in front of me.http://www.autoscout.de/Details.aspx?id=bxbzsplx3ted

Good evening… I have a big problem with my automatic transmission on the 126 (see data below).! Just wanted to drive backwards to the parking lot as always..Gang inserted..You can easily notice that he wanted to go in, but then it happened…Nix… If I give gas, it is as if he is on N. The car is driving out without any problems, and does not make any noises..Drive oil before 5TKM changed with filters.!Must go away tomorrow, and don’t want to push backwards Has someone ne idea..=? Ohso, maybe it’s important.If I insert the R-Gang, it moves very slowly(slower than step…) backwards for 1m or so and as I said when I give gas —- NIX::: Hope you can help me…Thank you already!
