  • w126: The agony of choice – 6 or 8-cylinders

    Hello to the S-Class and Sterngemeinde! For some time I have been looking for a w126, 2nd series. The car has been doing it to me since my childhood, my father drove two of these cars, which are desirable in many ways (1st series). The memories should soon be “refreshed” and my desire for own ownership put into action. For about 6 months now I am crisscrossed, for hours and almost every day on the Internet and look around, compare, durc hstöbere Foren, Portale etc… I had taken a closer look at one or the other car, but then again rejected (visit in Berlin or Augsburg for time reasons not feasible/ price too high).But good thing wants to have a while…But to get to the point 😉 1. The annual run performance (use only in the summer season) will be at most 5000 km 2. approx. 3/4 of the annual run performance is completed in the city 3. Tempo = Cruise speed 4. 5. Even if the topic of fuel consumption is rather secondary and has been dealt with several times in this forum, does one of you know reasonably reliable comparative data between 300’s and 500’s? Since the costs are rising even here it is perhaps not quite so uninteresting for me. Maybe who has a website at hand. Unfortunately, my previous research was not so satisfactory. The city has a lot to offer. I have heard/read about the 8 cylinders that they are smoother. The 6 cylinders, however, are more economical. However, with an annual run capacity of up to 5000 km you might neglect?? Which purchase would you advise me to buy? I am torn back and forth between a 300 SE (the long version is very rarely to be found here according to my research) and a 500 SEL. And an SEL would be fine;-) Un d last but not least: What do you think, apart from the fixed costs (insurance/tax/garage rental/petrol…) how much should be targeted monthly for repair/maintenance costs? Are 150€ realistic? Thank you for your answers and a greeting from Essen sends DocDennis

  • Mercedes-Benz S 260, suitable for a beginner?

    Hello all, I wanted to buy my son an S 260 for his 20th birthday. Currently he drives a Golf 2. Unfortunately, he has given up his mind. What does the S 260 consume in normal driving mode? What does this look like with the repairs? Are they affordable? Can you expect to be in the workshop every month? Does one of the maintenance work? What do you think of this?http://suchen.mobile.de/…/showDetails.html?… ine answer I would be happy! Love greetings

  • MB with sales problems

    While MB reacts with short-time work and exemption of its poorly paid lenders to significant sales declines (except Smart and ev. A-Class), the innovative Audi managed by an Ing. increases by 0.4% (including A4). While the Mopf II SL was hardly available for sale well before the “crisis”, it has now caught almost the entire model range. If now still the service car privilege (depreciation) falls, MB 2009 stands next to Opel and then good night Marie……. mfg ortler

  • SL W129 320 (1994) goes too high

    Dear Foren reader, I would be very pleased with suggestions regarding the following problem: My SL 320, EZ 1994, turns too high. Idle speed is fine (approx. 700), the problem occurs only when driving. At approx. 200 km/h the rev indicator intervenes. Normally it should do this only at 250 km/h. At 100 km/h it has a terrible 3000 rpm. Much too high! I had the transmission oil changed. It switches softly. In advance it has ticked off and on while switching (on a When I switched to the sport mode, it went again. If I switch by hand (you can also switch to the sweetheart), he also switches to the fourth (it has only four gears, right?). It works everything, but does not change that he already has 3000 rpm at 100 km/h. Can someone explain to me what causes this could have? Call me a good side to the technique of the automatic transmission if necessary? My lay-like gut feeling sa gt, it is an electronic problem. Thank you very much in advance Djinnious * who is afraid of an expensive repair*

  • Facelift on my R129

    Hello, this week my R129 Bj 12/92 has mopted. Only the new exterior mirrors are not there yet. They are already in 199 lacquered with me in the cellar, but I still lack the mirror glasses. Since I have no desire to put 400€ on the table for two automatically glareable glasses at Mercedes I will wait a bit longer. Maybe there is still something suitable in the bay. The matching Mopf2 rims are already in the basement, but will only be available in May. when the car is re-registered.

  • Your opinion???

    Hello everyone. It’s so far after a long time the decision has been made. I will fulfill my dream in the form of an R129. To do this I need your help or experience. I’ve been looking for about 2 months now, certainly not very long yet but it’s enough to have been fucked up enough. I’m already in possession of the purchase advice of the SL Club to scare some unwieldy used car dealer. Now my question to you. I currently have a SL 280 Bj.1998 with 1 33000 km Chescheheft bi 92000 km led from 3.Hand accident-free offered. Standard equipment. So Xenon leather climate etc. without emergency seats. 18 inches summer and 8 hole winter bikes.From private. I will still inspect. Cost should he 13800€ What do you think of the price. Thank you already in advance. Otherwise I wish all beautiful Christmas.

  • W124 300D oil loss cylinder head gasket

    Hello! I drive an 86 W124 300D with 190000 kilometers on the clock.Lastly, I had the hydro-punch changed, as the engine clacked unsightly.Now it runs and purrs again 1A. Unfortunately, last days I found out that the engine at the front left of the corner at the height of the cylinder head gasket pushes out oil.I have no water loss/oil loss and no oil in the water or water in the oil, but I am still worried. Is this now a cosmetic defect (of “Schwitzen” can no longer be mentioned here) or should the head seal be changed???Ever since this leak occurred shortly after changing the hydros.Does anyone know what the gasket change costs for my 6-cylinder approx.?I just found the following text excerpt in the www: The W124 diesels are quite safe, except for a few exceptions. In fact, they consume too much fuel relative to their power output. A leaky cylinder head gasket in the height of the first cylinder could be problematic for these engines. However, as long as the oil loss is limited, there is not necessarily a need for action. Everything is only half as wild??? Stefan
