Hello to all SL pilots! I have the following problem. I come from the 124 range. For some time now I am making our 400E really nice and fit again. He also has the wonderful M119 engine. I am looking for the part mentioned in the topic. It is the lower part of the plastic cover of the left ignition distributor. This is screwed directly to the cylinder head. Since on our vehicle obviously a rough motorist was too busy, here are almost all the holding aisles. och, also missing the plugged clip that holds the ignition cables. Does someone still have something in stock and would sell it to me? Is not a condition like this at the moment. I hope I have at least success here. In the 124 corner the 119 engine is quite tar.

Hello, with my SL350 BJ 2005 the cover opening or closing runs off completely normal, only then the trunk cover stays upright and finally the cover closes/opens after a slight push down. Unfortunately, I replaced the hydraulic pump and the relevant cylinder (very expensive), without success. I’m baffled and unfortunately always find it necessary to help the cover. Maybe someone has already solved this problem and can help me. I greet you.

Servus SL colleagues, could one perhaps from his own experience tell me whether air is still flowing from the lower area in case of a switched off climate control panel? Not as strong as if it is on manual but clearly on his feet? Nice evening m-race

Hello everybody! I’m just about to purchase a SL 500 (R231). Two cars are in the short choice: 1. SL 500 “Standard” (BJ/MJ 2017, EZ 12/2017, since 9200km run, factory warranty extended to 11-2023, with ABC chassis and otherwise also all Pipapo – besides massage seats and Magic Vision Control) for nominally around 84,000€ (will certainly still be negotiated a bit). 2. SL 500 “Grand Edition” (BJ 2020/ MJ 2021, EZ 09/2020, since 7800km run, factory warranty up to 09-2023, without ABC chassis, but with all the other extras that the list gave off at that time) for nominally around 105,000€ (rather less negotiating scope if I correctly estimate the dealer).Two questions: – Can you dispense with the ABC chassis (perhaps even better due to error?) or is this a must-have with the SL, also with regard to the resale value? – Is the surcharge for the 3 year younger vehicle in the special edition (collector piece?) without ABC gü. the now almost 6 year old standard SL with ABC, also with regard to the resale value? Dear greetings, Daniel

Good evening, R129 SL320 without seat memory Bauj. 1994 After the height adjustment of the headrest to the right (passenger side) did not work for a few weeks now, the entire seat adjustment has now also failed. However, during the ride I noticed from the right coming noises, and the seat has pushed from itself completely to the rear and the backrest turned vertically, also the headrest has moved upwards. sometimes while driving sporadically up, and I think the seat has moved a little forward Is apparently a wobble contact or corrosion, ECU But where ?? Who knows advice ?? Greetings Karl.

Hello, maybe someone can help me. I have been driving a Sl 500 for about 15 years, Bauj. 91. In the meantime the good piece has about 150000 km on the hump, 70000km of it were driven by me. The vehicle has never left me in the desert without exception. Last after about 50 country road kilometers the power was abruptly gone and since then runs only on 4 cylinders connected with strong unburnt petrol odor. Both ignition coils work perfectly, and the distribution caps are it a Also the renewal of the corresponding ignition cables did not work. It does not reach the corresponding cylinders no spark of ignition. Certainly I could bring the vehicle into a Mercedes workshop, only a complete renewal of the ignition system including the zund control unit and wire harness can and I do not want to afford at the present time. In the end a defective fuse or a contact error turns out. Maybe someone here in the forum has an idea. I am grateful for all the hints.

Hello, I’m looking for your advice again. Had already asked in another thread because of abc problems. Meanwhile, the pump, bull eggs and valve unit have been replaced at the rear and the level sensors. The deeper laying of the previous owner corrects thus again to normal level. The car sinks at the front wheels and the solution would be a valve block (mistake clearly recognized by mb and rude workshop) error code c3115 as far as I know. Now to my question It was initially rinsed and the black oil removed with the egg (several times rinsed until no more abrasion came ) now the oil is green again. The car drives well during the ride no problems. However, I read at hans hehl that once the oil was so black with abrasion that you can never get that again and now ask me if it makes sense to keep the car and still exchange the valve unit and o-rings. Is it assumed that you can’t get it anymore or how would you v Does anyone have experiences? Is this really so that you have to change everything when the oil was so black? Would he like to drive for a long time the car has 100t km and is otherwise always a staple. I only have to remember that there are always problems after the flushing and the exchange of various parts.Last at mb mannheim the abc control unit was changed. The pump was not broken but loud mb at the break that means she had not disassembled wu However, it was exchanged. Many thanks in advance to Thorsten

Hello, who drives a 129er of the above described category certainly knows the problem of throttle flaps. With me after 80,000 km. Does anyone have experience with it? I found a company in Hamburg that had revised the left one for 298,- Euro and that with warranty. Unfortunately afterwards the rights failed. This is no longer to be repaired and I need replacement. Is the cause of the defect possible to look elsewhere and this is only a consequential damage? I already had the harnesses replaced. Does anyone know a possibility for an exchange or repair? Is there any used on the market? Does anyone have one? Part number MB 0001415525 – Please offer 0160 989 00503 Greetings Jürgen

Hello together, the car was now about three months … without battery in the garage. After installing the battery I re-learned the window lifters – works! The cover protection also goes up and down! …at temp. around the 9 degrees! **Only the hardtop doesn’t want to go off!!! The switch only flashes cheerfully in front of it…** Had I forgotten a setting (wheels hit etc. …) or is the blinking always a classic defect? Thank you for your answers… sl_fahrer The season starts again well

Moin men and women. I’ve got everything ok with my current R230 MASSIVE ELEKTRONIK PROBLEME. the cart just gets so rough on my nerves. the whole summer was actually everything ok and now that it gets cold, the cart pops into my face. if I put the to one of the locations with which I have already experienced, then I can sink the cart directly in the elbe – that’s cheaper and annoying more gentle. therefore here the question, if someone can call a discharge and manyleich even a contact partner, who does not go there first blindly and push 200 talers for searching for wrong places. doesn’t necessarily have to be a branch, can also be something else really specialized. But please someone exactly of such things has an indication. Parts swappers are not welcome here at all. Have I already made several times now the experience, that just be exchanged without having to know why, and after that I have not found all the faults, but I have to say quite a bit of the same thing, but I am not able to tell each other the wrong things.
