Hello guys, I want to hear your honest opinion on the topic now, so if there is no polemics. Thanks already the following: Next year I want to buy a new SL. I had tried the 55s at a friend’s. I was disappointed because (for my taste) too loud. But before I order the 600s, I want to test it. I don’t buy a car in the price range blindly. Since I don’t know anyone who drives the 600s, I have stopped at the local dealer, who of course does not have a vehicle like this, but can get one from the NDL Munich. In addition, he also knows that I am driving a comparable vehicle and I am not the typical 22-year-old test driver. 2 days ago the seller called me to inform me that the vehicle available in Munich is now registered and would be available soon, but he probably 250 Euro per plus 2.50 Euro per vehicle value So now your opinion about this?? for comparison: Renting an SL55 AMG costs 390 Euro/day incl. 200 km.

Hello, last week I was at a consultation to buy me a sl 55 amg but I had the feeling that many people don’t know about what they’re talking about.The salesman has constantly made false statements and anyone tries to turn me on every extra time he didn’t even know what a mettalic painting is.Well I’ve informed myself.then I could make trouble and need a trial appointment because I’ve never been on vacation and come to the n on Thursday. iederlassung and tell me in the face that you wouldn’t find the car .not find. so I drove home again with the taxi.afterward my wife went there for me and was also rejected with the reasons that you had to arrange an appointment for a “consultation interview”. and that was too much.I have a friend at an edél car house and could borrow a lamborghini Murcielago for 2 hours.so I drove forward with loud music and happened to h the next day I saw a slightly older man (seller) with the car before driving. why do they do that?

Hello MB CLK Freak`s, someone has already heard of the soot filter offensive for diesel vehicles from DB at the Frankfurt Motor Show? Mercedes should equip its diesel engines from the 400 CDI upwards with soot filter so that they reach the pollutant standard 4. What about the power and when will the “smaller diesel” like the 270 CDI get in the CLK? For the built-in soot filterer, which cannot be retrofitted, a car tax saving of over 650.00 euros from the St That would be a positive Diesel message, wouldn’t it? Who has heard something more about it, please report!!! Greetings to all CLK drivers, Josti, the CLK Newbie.

Hi @ all! I play with the idea of getting a CLK 230 or 320. I would buy both versions only with automatic transmission. Since I drive a lot of short distance and have only 4 km to the service office, the fuel consumption of the two models would interest me strongly. Since my desired version from Facelift is still too expensive for me, it will probably become a vehicle from the first years of construction with such about 80,000 km. What changes were made in the framework of the model maintenance in the years 1998 bi Is it worth it at the CLK to only pay off from a certain production date? Which children’s diseases are known and what should be taken into account when buying? Even if there are many questions at once, I would be very happy about helpful answers. Greetz Whynot

Hello, what is coming now is almost not to be believed but still true! My SL 500 BJ 2002 had already 3 times a total failure. Correctly read – under driving suddenly no steering, no brake, no light, nothing at all! It seems as if the electricity and thus the entire electronics suddenly fail under the ride. The first time the problem occurred about a year ago. At 100 km/h in the evening were on the country road. Suddenly “Ende Gelände”. With need I came to 100 m at the roadside to stand. With both feet I stood on the brake. The steering reacted also only with great force effect. Of course the next day in the workshop. In answer I got “Can not be, the car has an emergency power supply, I must have been mistaken”. Well I thought to myself already no more and just pushed it out until a few days ago. But last so. then immediately two failures. Thank God again not so snow ll driven and no other cars were on the road. I then brought the car to the workshop on Monday, because the thing then honestly becomes a bit too dangerous for me. Don’t think about what could happen. Today the car picked up! And now comes the real hammer! Mechanic hands me the key and says “everything clear again and still nice week”. Curious as I am, I ask where the problem lay. Mechanic: Oh you mean the total failure – there We didn’t find anything in the protocol!!! I: And that means? Mechanics: If there had been anything, it was in the protocol. I: There are certainly problems that don’t appear in the protocol!?! Mechanics: Maybe, but I would have to call in “Berlin” (Mercedes-Zentrale)!!! I then to the boss and asked what that should be. Chef: What should we do if nothing is in the protocol. Find it to be so impudent and, above all, irresponsible. Zuh ause tries to get in touch directly with Mercedes (Berlin). Problem, however, is that everything has to run through the workshop and I can’t get directly to it. Well, and the workshop doesn’t seem to be willing to do anything here. Maybe one of you has some tips for me!

On my 2002 SL500, the SRS and ABS lamp light up after hibernation. I’ve already read a lot about SRS, the problem I have after every hibernation, if the CTEK did not hang continuously. With the Icarsoft cr pro I tried to delete the errors, in the on-board computer of the instrument cluster they are not shown, there is no message. I drove a round and sometimes hard braked, ABS does not seem to work. I get the Fe with the Icarsoft. or is it rather a case for the workshop with StarDiagnosis? P.S. The ABS error is only there since I tried to find the SRS with the Icarsoft. Does anyone know more about Icartech?

Good morning dear community, I would like to fulfill a small dream of the second car. It should definitely be a SL, I am now for months at the superior and researching which is the right model for me. In the narrow selection comes: R129, 600 or 500 R230, AMG55, 600 or 500er You will now think why do I not limit myself to 2. Problems is that I find all model good, but unfortunately only one model can afford me, otherwise I would naturally How is your advice or recommendation, perhaps also a little consideration of driving characteristics/reliability, repair costs and possibly also value increase. I am grateful for every tip Thank you very much

Hello, I haven’t been active here for a long time. But now it’s supposed to start again. I have a SL 380 year 84, which I brought with me from the USA 4 years ago. Since I have the car here, it was in a dry hall. But it was not moved for four years now. Now I want to finish it in the first step so far that it gets TÜV and is technically safe and then it should be driven first in the summer. Later the interior is still due. However, I already have new ones, which I bought in the States at the time. I am now talking about what I should do in the first step. I would now first push the car onto the stage. Then make an oil change. I might put the ignition cap down again and clean if necessary and then I would just see if it starts. I definitely have to make new bearings for the front axle cheme. And then I would make a new brake line and shock absorber. oeststellbrake is almost ineffective Probably the steering gear has to be overhauled as well, because I have a lot of steering play. But that can also hang with the front axle bearings as I said. I have to see that then. New brake fluid and coolant is clear. Maybe still change automatic oil. What do you remember spontaneously? I am happy about every suggestion. Greeting Marc.

Hello guys, I’ve got my Sl R230 ready for the summer. The most important thing, however, is that the roof makes me headache. When I try to open it, he drives down the windows a little bit and then doesn’t do anything. He also doesn’t show an error message on himself in the memory. I just don’t understand what it might be, maybe I’m doing something wrong, am I looking at something? I’m pretty desperate also my workshop doesn’t understand what it’s about The flap in the trunk is closed and the tailgate is also closed correctly. The only thing that is still striking is that the tailgate stays up only when you are held tight. It does not stand up….. Thanks in advance for your help.

Hello together, as the title already suggests, I would like to upgrade the Becker Mexico Diversity 876 with Bluetooth. I have not found a suitable solution on the Internet yet. Does anyone have any experience with whether there is a suitable adapter? In the car there is no CD changer and if necessary I could also do without the radio function to release a slot. Maybe one of you also has an alternative and stylish solution ready? Please look forward to your answers!
