Hello, I am in the final phase to decide for one of the two models. Who knows both vehicles and can give me a tip. The SL is driven with us third vehicle and only in nice weather. mileage 5000 KM per year. The 350 would have the 272hp and he 500 SL the 387hp engine. Both are very well equipped. The 350 is black/black of the 500 it is silver/black. KM power: 350 he 37000KM Built. 2007 of the 500 48000KM Built. 2006. Price: The 500 costs 2500 Euro less! A cylinder of eight already has its appeal. Thank you for your constructive opinion. Cabrio 123

In my 500SL EZ 08/92 there is a beautiful radio in it. Sometimes there is great music out there. Sometimes I would really like to help with my iPhone. There is 1 iPod in it. On the radio of my other car is an Aux socket. When I hit my iPhone, my fine music comes out of the speakers. But the Becker Radio doesn’t have that. My son-in-law got me 1 FM transmitter. With that I can transfer some music from the iPhone. But to the One is the sound quality only suboptimal. On the other hand, the transmission is often disturbed during the ride. Now my question to the freaks in this enthralling circle: Is there an electronic trick to pair the old radio with the modern iPhone without going to the substance of the ancient radio? For all the many great advices I would like to thank you very much in advance…

Hello Together, which brake blocks in front are required for the 320 R6 (EZ 95 Bj. think end 94). My car has ETS (according to the on-board computer …. ASR is not displayed there.. so I don’t think it is present). A small triangle is nevertheless attached in the AI – is this part of the ETS? Which block is it now.. like to send links? Thank you for your answers. Gruss Sl_fahrer

Hello, I want to get an SL convertible W129/R129. From the year of construction it will definitely be one of the older ones -> 1989 to about 1995 or 1996. I love to play with a 300SL-24V. What should be taken into account when buying an SL? Thank you for your help in advance… Greetings, Sebastian

Here are the technical data of the SL Bauj. 04.1992 86000 km Price 10500 Euro very well maintained was driven by my doctor see pictures what do you think of the price and of the vehicle Would you like to drive the SL only for cruising Mango at this thing he has made the last two customer services privately, and he needs some oil is also a bit oily below (wet). He is still doing Tüv, ASU and customer service. (Hope of the Tüv will complain (oil loss) and he still has to do this. Thanks in advance for the information

Hello @ all, I would like to buy the E-Cabrio and last week I had the SL350 as a test, what kind of car I have never driven, was a great driving and I am not a car freak. Now I think about whether I should take the SL as used (new is too expensive) or rather the 250 or 350 E-Cabrio? Questions: 1. Can you buy the SL in the old version just before the model change in 2008 – the prices are really good? Is the difference between the current one and the one before 2008 (with the round lamps) so big? 2. At the E I am also indiscriminately prefer the 350 with 6 Z or the 250ger with 4 Z which is quite cheaper. At the 350 I thought and the CDI at the 250 only the CGI. A friend said however a convertible must have sound therefore at the 350 also CGI, because Diesel said he is loud and nailed. Is that really so? I heard the 350 CDI should be so calm and great? Thanks& G Rouse Oliver

Hello to all have for a few days the following problem with my SL: after the shutdown over the winter I stood before the problem after the first exit, which closes the cover only up to the half……..I drove to my Mercedes dealer and the master said he had no documents and also did not know how he could close it manually.I should leave it there…(strange at a factory office)…I drove home again and have in the company management office g saw how I could close it manually and also open it..what I also did…… when the cover is closed:::::the cover now only opens up to the half…thereby, as always, the discs go down and the rollover iron also works in the mechanism quite normally with…if it is up…………but in the middle nothing can be done anymore….and that’s exactly the same when the cover is open:::::the cover starts the whole n Ormalen closing mechanism…to the half…then the clacking and nothing works more…………who can help me or give tips….call you also gladly…coming from the room Aalen in BW… the hydraulic tank I found under the replacement wheel and it is up to max full….secures are also all inside……can it be the control unit???and where is the device…or can it be a relay?? please help……many thanks in advance gruss frank

How can I easily play external music in my SL I have an SL R230 BJ 2004 Unfortunately, there is no AUX in the glove compartment. (comfortably, there are some other SL`s) An FM transmitter works rather poorly than right. I heard instead of the CD changer you can plug in a Bluetooth adapter? Do you have tips? I think about changing the radio. However, I would like to keep the originality. Otherwise, I would like to give you other tips.

My SL500, R129, 2001, M113 E50, Mopf2, 129,068 so suction tube circuit no NW adjustment, approx. 95,000km, stands every winter about 5-6 months. Since this summer he scrapes at cold start, this gives itself, if you drive it a few minutes. I strongly assume that the steering chain has hung and possibly the sliding rails are brittle, despite the relatively small km running number, simply material fatigue after almost 20 years n. My question would be whether I should first check the control times, possibly have the chain tensioner changed, or the same (that would be my first intention, since I will be in possession of this SL, and so I would like to drive it for a few more years 68 years), the chain tensioner, the control chain, the sliding rails, possibly also the crankshaft belt disc. Everything I do at my age, I don’t want to have to do again, so then gle Since I have not found much about it here (only an excellent illustrated description of these works at an M119, where I can not decide how much this differs from the M113), I ask for information about this. Of course, it would be helpful to have a guide, WIS?, and which parts I need and which are recommended and where available. This, although I will not do the work myself, can, but I am always well informed in advance, u m good work to get good parts at a reasonable price. Thank you and dear greetings from the coronage bagged Austria, Sepp

Hello together Have problems with my R129 with the right headlight engine of the cleaning system. Vehicle bj 94. the cleaning system has been sprayed for a long time. Got a used engine, now it blows out the fuse. As soon as I turn on ignition and the light is on it sprays and then takes the fuse. Is it possible that the used engine has a shot? Are the prone?
