  • How much iron in the engine oil?

    Hello experts, in order to learn more about the health of my engine, I have now done a motor oil analysis twice. Above all, the increased iron content jumps into the eye. Last year it was 93 mg/kg, this year already 288 mg/kg This is probably a sign of wear. Do I have to worry about that? Where is the limit value from which the oil should be changed more often? With me it was always 12-15 months and 15,000 km. And finally: Does the OM605.960 in the oil tank e in magnets that hold the iron particles and thus prevent worse? Or would you recommend a magnetic draining screw and/or an additional magnet in the prefilter? Thank you for every helpful hint! Always enough iron in the blood, but not in the oil, wishes you Stefan

  • R170 MOPF ignition oscillator cylinder 1 and 2 –

    Hello, I am a newcomer here at the engine talk, come from the front Eifel and like to screw around cars. Up to now almost always with success, but on the weekend I bought a problem child: Mercedes SLK 230 Compressor Mopf BJ 2001 230000 km. Only very little rust. The price was cheap. Known defects ZV and roof is not possible. Tüv completely new and during the test drive everything was OK. On the first 50 km motorway ride I noticed that the SLK did not get particularly fast. The next day the following thing happened: car starts to stutter after 20 km and runs only on 3 cylinders, while trying to drive home a lot more then a cylinder. In the error memory is the ignition dropout cylinder 1 and 2. So first of all ignition coils and candles out. The candles look new (and are also not wet). So candles again in, and ignition coils of 1 and 2 with 3 and 4. Error memory deleted and After a few seconds normal engine run again only 3 cylinders at the run. A little later then again only 2 cylinders. In the error memory again ignition oscillators 1 and 2. Despite changed ignition coils. In case of defective coils now cylinder 3 and 4 should have been in the error memory. In all further tests I found that the engine runs better when I clamp the air mass meter. – So I knew it must be on the LMM. So a new besor gt and built-in. Unfortunately, that didn’t work. Does anyone have any idea what the ignition triggers can still come from? Maybe injection nozzles? Does anyone know if the PSE ZV pump also has something to do with the roof function? In the troubleshooting of the central locking I had to find out that the pump in the car is completely missing. If the PSE is only responsible for the ZV, I could do without the expensive part and stop manually on and close.

  • Mercedes AMG GT 43 (421 hp)

    For 8 years I’ve been driving the S Coupé 500 (2015) with 8 cylinders, 455 hp, rear wheel drive, corner tilting technology, 2030 kilos. I’ve never been bored with this still great car. However, an extensive test drive with the new AMG GT 43 convinced me to change. I can’t understand the statement that 4 cylinders are insufficient for a Gran Turismo. The 421+15 hp are really fun at 1790 kilos. At some point between October and December it’s time. Unfortunately, the test vehicle had no rear wheel steering and also no AMG DYNAMIC PLUS package. Although I don’t know how much these two special equipment really bring, I just ordered it along. On the paper, it felt somehow coherent. Does anyone have experience with these systems here? Massage and such frills I left out for it. The massage has not changed at all in the last 8 years and in my opinion is always noc h not to be used 🙂

  • BEVO petrol instead of diesel at the CDI

    Hello Mercedes Diesel – driver, me or rather my wife something very stupid happened. She accidentally refueled our Mercedes E 220 CDI with 14 liters of petrol instead of diesel. Then she noticed the mistake and filled up with diesel. At the gas station she inquired if she was allowed to drive with it after all the friendly employees had no idea and could not say anything. She then drove a bit and stopped, a Mercedes workshop then she a This is of course a really nice hammer, one of you has an idea if I have a chance to repair the damage here. Maybe comprehensive, insurance of the gas station I have no idea, maybe one of them can give me tips. Thanks Heinz

  • Cooling water lamp no longer goes out

    Hello together, I bought a SLK 200 R170 Bj. 1998 (136hp) with 135tsd. Km for 4,000€ from a dealer. My landlord is himself a 2-fold car dealer and since I have a very good wire to him and he knows my SLK dealer, he offered me to call this time and ask before buying to the SLK “from dealer to dealer you tell yourself more.” My landlord then told me roughly that the dealer is very trustworthy, it would be in the cooling system a e line was replaced, but this was done (my choice of words). So it was happy and proud to become the owner of a SLK convertible. However, when I collected it, I was surprised that the cooling water lamp was on, that the dealer helped, he said, that this could be at first, dropped 1l in and the lamp was off. 1 week later I drove to my brother to Cologne (Solingen –> Cologne about 30km), just arrived in Cologne again the KW lamp went on before I returned to Solingen, ki I picked up 1,5l water after…lamp out again…in SG she went on again – again 1,5l after tilted (lamp out again)…in the next week I drove little, then now on the WE to Wuppertal and there the lamp went on again, at a tankst. stopped I tried again to tilt water (in a warm condition) but somehow I had problems, because I saw how it appeared 15cm under the filler nozzle and collected on the floor plate, not everything, but around the he half of 1,5 l…..the lamp did not go out, the temperature was no longer at max. 80°….in SG I tilted 1.5 l in cold condition again, the lamp remained on….(current status – will fall again this afternoon). My dealer agreed that he was currently in quarantine, I may come by next Friday, then he would take care of the case… but I would be interested in your opinion before that, it was now about 5 l and after ” “I don’t think it’s done.” Lg Frank
