  • Quality question: processing & rust protection W124 vs. W140

    Hello dear S class forum, after Blaubär has opened a thread about the quality of the Mercedes parts, I would like to open at this point a collection thread for quality comparison between W124 and W140. It is clear to me that the S class is more complex. Therefore, I am more interested in the processing, and above all the corrosion resistance. From 93 the sheet metal quality at MB has become bad, C classes rust like sow, E class rust something, but the W140 supposedly rusts also The comparison is therefore essentially W124 Mopf 2 vs W140 Mopf 1 What really looks like? I look forward to reports and hope for active participation! Best greeting Justus

  • Daimler WITHOUT Chrysler

    After about € 100,000,000,000 and 8 years, the Mercedes managers have already noticed that the connection with Chrysler was a flop. I don’t know how many votes back then, without expensive consultants, have already predicted that the two companies, strategies, model pallets, market access, images etc. can never fit together and can’t be made suitable. The price was high and for the Mercedes drivers a disaster. With the money you wouldn’t have ruined your quality image so much. Many have changed the brand, because the extra price was no longer valid. No one is now being held accountable for this??? It means Germany has to pay its top people very well, I think so too, but only the top people. And if someone initially looks like TOP and gets the money in advance for it, he should also be held to account for the inherent errors of this magnitude in retrospect. hope that the blow of liberation is one and Mercedes finds back to his old virtues and reaches a level like Porsche. But catching up is always more expensive than making it right.

  • G400 CDI- suddenly went out and stopped starting.

    Hello together, now I also have a problem with the G. The following has happened: I drove quite normal and all of a sudden the car went from now on without warning – no stutter, nothing. The tank had gone before about 10km on reserve, but the G has 20ltr reserve- so it can not lie there, and also had no problems with it so far – that is enough mathematically for about 150km. Then I thought that the tanker does not properly indicate, 20ltr diesel reinges chüttet, but nothing happens- nurser turns, but the motor doesn’t start. Will have it picked up today from MB, what can it be like? Greetings

  • Rim replacement

    Hello, my name is Rüdiger, I’m new here and I’ve had a w463 (G500) from 2010 with Japanese past for 2 weeks. Only the rims I would like to replace. Currently I drive 7.5 x 18H2 ET63 Yesterday I wanted to make a rim replacement on 20 inch AMG rims. We found that the hole circles do not match (according to dealers because of import vehicle). Lock travel are 5×130 compared to 5×112. (other wheel scar) Can you confirm this so and which possibilities have ic h for retrofitting? LG Rüdiger

  • Insurance G400d

    Hello together, yesterday with my insurance spoken what would cost a G400d at 10tkm of driving performance per year. At VK 1000€ SB and TK without, it would be 170€/year. Did I find a lot for the car. Is that so normal? Or do I have to look for a better insurance? Thank you.

  • G270 CDI …. Problems in stationary gas

    Hello all, my G270 CDI, 42000 km Bj 2004 has been having problems with the stand gas since the latest. To the info… a year ago a new Uylinder head was mounted and recently a new gearbox with converter. When I drive towards a crossing and brake to a standstill it suddenly ran out of me twice. The stand gas is often no longer like a clockwork, but is always a little sagging. It is not always, however, increasing. Has someone ever had comparable problems? It starts great and when driving you don’t notice anything. Only in the stand. I would be very happy if someone could help me. Best regards Hans

  • unclear problem

    Hello Together, I have the following problem: My G55 from 2001 no longer reacts. ZV does not open. If I open it by hand, I cannot start it. Battery is sufficiently charged according to the tester. If I connect a charger, it does not start with the charging process. I also renewed batteries in the key. Does anyone have an idea what this might be about? Lg El

  • Configuration SLC New purchase + question for a detail

    Dear Forum Members, regarding the purchase of a new SLC, would be looking for hints on features that should be configured from your experience with this type of convertible. I attached my consideration as a PDF. What exactly does the equipment “B15 – rollbar with insert aluminum anodized.” Only that the two already available rollbars have a different look? PS: I am now aware that this model expires. But we are looking for a convertible with metal Dac h. Therefore this consideration. Greetings, Roland
