Hello dear community, On the first nice weekend of this year, the following happened: With a bit more speeding everything was fine (automatic switch down and switched the gears off.) when I went off the gas again he tossed off and then turned down (the switch down felt a bit tremble) when I pressed again on the gas pedal, it was as if the selector lever was on N, but it was still on D. The whole thing came up 2 times. Then everything was again I.O. Otherwise he really switches butter soft. he is Bj.2002 and has 96tkm on the clock. Nights week I give him in the workshop. Does a hint of what can come to me? Mfg Berti

Now I have something to think of What can it be if the blower doesn’t work? Although it comes warm through the wind. The keys come the brighter when you press on it, but no matter if 1,2,3,4 that doesn’t work. I saw there is a relay for that it can be? And a mechanic once said there would be below the windscreen wiper of the engine and there you would have to solder something out and again. What do you think about it?

Hello community! Have a proplem with my 500s. Now for the second time within 6 weeks it goes out during the ride. No gas.This time just in front of the front door, thank God. Can start it, no gas acceptance. Off. ( Starter turns, petrol pump runs). Have changed times to the fast the basic module( had another one in reserve). That’s not it. After about 30 min. and repeated start attempts he takes gas again and runs, as if nothing had been done. Maybe someone knows what and can Give me a tip. Many greetings from Kassel Michael

Hi guys, I’ll be looking at an SL 63 AMG soon. Since I’d like to be 100% sure, I wanted to ask if you could give me some tips on what to watch out for. To the history of the cars comes from Germany and had only one owner up to now. What made me stunned though is that the owner took it to Dubai for some time. Maybe that’s normal I don’t know. Anyway, the car is now some Zei My question is now whether the temperature in Dubai could have made the car in any way, what I should pay attention to with this car and whether anything is known about this car (Mängel ect.) Are the engines long-lived or is there anything I have to consider? The car is so interesting for me because he had as said only 1 owner and he only has 38,000 km on the speedometer. I am very grateful for all the information !!

Hello, I have the following problem: I have the COMAND APS NTG1 and a Bluetooth module SAP V2 coupled with a Samsung Galaxy S3. When a conversation comes I see the number on the display and it rings; but I can’t accept the conversation. When I press the (lister) the ‘Start’ screen from the phone appears on the display (as if I press the TEL button without making a phone call), but it continues to ring. Reject (Stop) works. Whether I press the Tas press the ‘OK’ button on the steering wheel or press the ‘OK’ button. The caller also rings the phone. If I call somewhere, I can’t hear the caller who hears me. The ‘Stumm’ button is not activated. what can it be?

Hello, maybe you can help me with a few tips. I closed the cover today at my SL 320 and when I wanted to open it again it stopped from the time when it should open in front. Then I found that in the area behind the driver’s door and in front of the rear wheel, everything ran out of oil. I called my workshop however I must say that I live in the Emirates and have to look for a specialist from a very normal workshop. We h aben then check in the trunk if there is still oil, it was completely empty so there is a leak somewhere. You could see how the oil only runs out and that at the pole (silver is the ) looks like a shock absorber (just as an example and looks a woman lool ) so now he meant I should make myself smart whether you have to change the whole or if there are single parts there which can be replaced … ?? Maybe you can help me there something ? At Mercedes here if I go go, sorry there I think then I bought shares that spin a bit. Greet Petra UAE E-mail: [email protected]

Hello everybody, I want to add a SL from the model R129 in the near future Now I have no idea about the model, except that I like it super well Can you give me a page, which deals with the typical weak positions and where I can get more info about the SL from this series? What about engines. Of the driving performance would be enough for me the 6 cylinder. As far as I am informed at some point from R to V engines changed. Which engine would you like to Which one is more robust and durable, how does it look with consumption? What does it look like with a manual circuit? Do the what or yet automatic? Should you buy the R129 from a best, year of construction? Questions about questions… Thanks for the help

Hello, after a long time of hesitation, you intend to switch over to a SL R230 at short notice. No new vehicle, rather from EZ 2003 and max. 40-50,000km mileage. The main question is: SL 350 or 500er? My DB customer advisor advises me (privately) to the SL 500, among other things because the 350er is a “buyer”, especially in the city in the consumption of the SL 500 did not resist. Well, for that the NP of the 500er +/- € 15,000,00 is higher and for that one could often refuel. But this topic is secondary. e above mentioned – especially to pay attention, also with regard to susceptibility? What do you need, what not? Look forward to numerous tips! Greetings, Speedy128

What can that be? How do you notice if the cats are burned/dwelled? Do you think that can be from it? The car has puffed more and more in a warm condition and then no longer runs. When I had again in the garage and it was cold he jumped again. Then so after 10 min drive the same. Thank you in advance!

Hello all, I am my Latin at the end and hope for help here. To the vehicle: R129 M104 EZ 05.92 316tkm Problem: The car jumped very badly one morning and after a few hundred meters no more gas took on or went out with the gas out, I could only start again and slowly let roll back home. In my workshop we tested the following. : Ignition spark on all candles in the developed condition available. Candles renewed anyway. Distribution r incl finger new. Ignition cable new. camshaft sensor and crankshaft sensor new. petrol completely drained and incl filter changed. housing from the motor wire harness opened and on breakpoints apparently tested. Compression all cylinders 10-11 bar. Spark arrives at the distributor and also goes out cleanly. When I test the candles outside clean spark image. I build them in and let the engine rotate the engine does not mutate a bit. Candles out and clap wet. Nevertheless they spark. Unken is there Gasoline is there I have the feeling that he is lighting the wrong way, therefore he has made cams and crank sensors new. Nevertheless no success. What makes me wonder is that the engine has no ignition at all or does not even shake itself. Unfortunately I have no longer anyone who can read out the old servant and hope here on advice before I have to drive to mercedes Can the chain have skipped over? Is there still a sensor or a giver? I am grateful for any help or advice because I have no I know more Thanks in advance Greeting Marcus
