Hello, I have repeatedly noticed that after 2 days on the garage floor there is a small oil pot (red ATF oil) at the rear part of the automatic transmission. A check on the stage showed that the oil pan in the sealing joint was slightly damp. I then pulled all the screws with 10Nm, where I had the middle two 1.5 revolutions pulled. Everything cleaned with brake cleaner, first everything was clean, now after 1 week a drop again. I am sometimes backlings u nters car crawled and I saw that there was a tiny drop on the black switch at the back of the gearbox (over the grey strut where the suspension is also located). From the switch leads 1 cable away, it is attached with an M10 mgrape-as far as I could see. Is that the switch for the RFS? Does anyone know what kind of seal is installed in it, or how to get it out, without having to drain the whole oil?

Dear colleagues, today I picked up my SL 500 (EZ 1998). In principle a super car, but: During the test drive, the top functioned perfectly during several attempts. Today with hardtop home. There the hardtop removed, now the top no longer closes. The lamp flashes. Let on engine and also run at increased speed did not work. The re-learning of the discs just as little. If you push the switch to the rear as to open, it makes the normal machines push forward, you don’t hear anything, only the lamp flashes. What can I do before I try to lock the cover manually and drive to the workshop? Thanks in advance for tips. Greetings, gmbike

Hello, a question to the incarnate Mercedes SL fans. I am looking for an R129 from 1989-1992 with the M104 3.0l liter six-cylinder two-valve, unbasked, as original condition as possible. A car dealer swears stone and leg that with a vehicle from EZ 08/1991 was the 3rd brake lamp series or repurchase option. Also the vehicle has a grill with 6 lamellas and side claddings in car color?? That seems to me not true? The blinker glasses are not origi anyway nal. Here’s the link.https://www.autoscout24.de/…/…1822-71a6-41e1-8010-ea6341585176?… Can someone give me an informed answer? Thank you!

?Hello together, as is well known, the radio/comand conversion is only possible with considerable effort with the pre-mop SL R230 with D2B and sound system. I noticed already then when I was looking for mine at mobile etc., that the Japan reimports are mostly converted to any accessories radio. I know that the Japan Comand in Europe does not work due to frequencies etc., but how is the conversion realized during the reimports? Is the effort as big as with ECE vehicles? According to EPC the Vehicles also a D2B light guide bus, but with code 498 “Japan vehicle”, what can be the difference? The conversion to MOST is too extensive for me, but maybe you can take anything from the topic… Greeting

Hello SL friends I bought a SL 500 R230 Bj 09.2004 a few weeks ago and after a few times navigating it was clear to me that the latest version can not be inserted there !! So I pushed out the old DVD then and got scared when I saw the version version 4.0 so the version that was delivered with the vehicle 2994 Well after some research I found that the latest version is the 12.0 APS 2011/12. So I got the … on the back on the side even my vehicle is on it ( SL – class 07.04 – 04.08) What should you do wrong?? because after I put the ignition in and the DVD in it nothing happened for the first time 4 minutes.. or a mini bar moved in the time 5mm) and then came the message Wrong version the DVD does not fit to your vehicle !! How now ?? What’s wrong? must I make a software update before often ?

Hello We have a r129 SL300 from 1989 here. Read a lot in the forum, but I can’t get any further… It doesn’t start after a break of 8 years. We’ve done the following: – at first fresh petrol fueled. When the pump is lit, you hear a short sum of the pump, but no fuel arrived to the front of the volume divider. After several attempts we had fuel until the volume divider. On the individual cylinders, however, still no fuel. – All 6 spark plugs have Z It starts with the start pilot and stays on until we spray in. In addition, we cleaned all torpedo fuses and the slots and put them back in. One thing strikes me: The button for the hardtop lights permanently and it only unlocks at the front and back it just clacks… maybe it’s because?? Does anyone have an idea? Maybe the crankshaft sensor? But it releases the ignition and that’s there… Would be grateful for tips.

Good day, I’m new here in forum, have already researched a lot, but unfortunately not found the right one. I have a SL 500 R230 BJ 2004 130,000 km. The vehicle cannot be opened in cold, neither via the key nor via the Keyless Go card. If I then take the emergency key and open the vehicle, the alarm system immediately goes on. If I then put myself in the vehicle and want to start it, the car does not recognize the key (you can’t turn it in the lock) keyl The battery of the SL is also not empty, has been bought anew and was also charged the day before. I am also a danger the day before about 50 KM. Yesterday it was from noon about 18 degrees and the car can be opened easily ( via key and keyless Go). The vehicle goes on quite normally (electric consumer is also not shown). (In the morning it was 5 degrees and it was not possible) That has surely happened to me already 10 times and it is located It’s definitely about whether it’s cold or warm outside. Can’t explain it to me. (I don’t mean -20 degrees with cold, but about 5 degrees) My consumer battery is completely empty even after about 10 days when the vehicle is standing. However, the Mercedes workshop has not detected any power consumption over 2 days. Batteries of keys and keyless go card are also new, so that’s not what it is. Today the vehicle went up, but the warning flasher flashed and g In addition, the speedometer has failed again and again. But the whole thing was over after 5 min drive as if nothing had ever been. Unfortunately, I don’t know any more and hope someone can help me here. Thanks in advance.

Servus, Hab hier eine 97er (MOPF 1) SL 270 von nem Technisch nicht gesonderlich Versierten Freunden, der an Erektionsschwacht, i.e. the Benz not the known 🙂 !!! The top works perfectly up to half and then it’s over. The window lifters funk in the automatic impeccable and the roll bar is also functional without any faults. The control unit has already been repaired and also found by Mercedes in Vienna as impeccable. Hydraulic fluid is new and it All of them have already been executed and checked by the friendly. Battery is new and fully charged. To the symptoms… When the switch is activated, the whole process is completely normal until the top is about vertical and then there is no more. Close goes on here. The blinking out has probably resulted in “some mistake in the hydraulics”. Now good advice is expensive, if you look at the prices. Since no oil loss or leakage is to be determined. I don’t know now either. In my opinion, the next step is simply not initiated here and as far as I know there are no electrical limit switches integrated here or am I mistaken ??? Could it actually lie on the cylinders or rather on the valves ? Can I check it. Would be very grateful about tips and field help

Hello, Since I soon have a driver’s license, I have already thought about a car. Since I was a small child, the SL of the R129 series did it to me. Since no one in my circle of acquaintances is particularly familiar with cars, I wanted to ask questions here. Is this realistic to drive an SL as a starter? The SL would cost me about 800€ insurance per year, according to my colleagues, this is normal as a starter to buy the SL itself should also not be a P Be roblem, rather the consumption, My uncle rides a SL, year 1992, which consumes about 20L, but I have only interested in the Mopf2 version, which was built from 1998 because this revised engines received, according to Mobile needs a SL 500 12.7 liters on 100km, that would be as much as the SL 280 before ’98. What do your SL 280/320/500 consume? What do they need in urban traffic, what on land, and what do they consume on the highway so much on the land. Which question still asks me, what does it look like to import from an SL from the USA, comparable models are often cheaper there, does someone have experience with it? What should I generally pay attention to when buying a car about 20 years old, or is that anyway a complete snap idea? Greetings from Bavaria

Hello, My SL R129 suddenly went out and didn’t start again. Since I have my residence in Paris there are few experts here, especially for joungtimers. Therefore, please desperately for help. As I said, my SL jumped on quite normally and after a few meters it suddenly went dry (without stuttering). My diagnosis: 1. The battery is charged 2. The fuel pump works / The tank is full 3. The fuses are all in the shot, they were carefully tested 4. The ignition coil 5. The starter runs and – the engine turns 6. The distributor cap is clean, the distributor does and all contacts have been cleaned. THE FUNCTION DOES NOT COME HERE 7. The spark plugs are clean (new) and THE FUNCTION DOES NOT COME HERE ALSO 8. I also replaced the crankshaft sensor for suspicion against a new one. 9. The (originally retrofitted) immobilizer was completely removed 6 years ago. The price is to cry and before I spend it, I want to be sure that nothing else will come into my mind. Please ask for advice or help because I just can’t get any further here in France. Many thanks to the MB community. I would like to thank you very much for your help and advice.
