  • Hinterachstranslation – Is it worth changing it?

    Hello! I wanted to ask myself if a rear axle differential change with a W126 or W124 is possible or recommended without too much effort. The 300s are actually quite short translated compared to the eight cylinders (3,27 vs 2,24 if I am not mistaken). Can one install the 2.82 rear axle of the 420er into a 300er in order to drive more smoothly? (which should have a positive effect on wear and consumption) Or is this counterproductive because the car in the cityve Return “more effort” must be made? Best greeting to all!

  • Help with the oil stop cable…

    Hola SLKler, I recently bought a SLK 200 compressor R170. At a car dealer who is also a car master. By chance I became aware of the keyword oil top kabal. So, now I passed by at MB, and let me see if the oil top cable is already in it and they told me that it can be installed for 50,- EUR. Unfortunately, it was found that the oil is already in the control unit and also the Lambda probe would be affected. Since this is actually still In the warranty of the dealer, the oil stop cable has not been installed with the hint, both the camshaft adjuster, as well as the wire harness, the control unit and the lampda probe should be replaced (approx. 3000 EUR). *uaaa* In case of demand with the seller (Car dealer/master) he said that he wants to clean this and then install the oil stop cable (MB wants to earn only money). Now my question is, is that right, or what can be cleaned and what needs to be replaced? According to another MB branch, in which I asked for a second opinion, only the oil lubrication is a damage or lack of the thing, even without the engine or the control unit ticking around. The OBD lamp is not yet burning. They continued to think that at least the wire harness and the magnet at the camshaft adjuster should be replaced, about 350 + 60 EUR. My legal protection could be Unfortunately I don’t say if it’s a lack, for that I would have to consult a lawyer, which I would like to do without, especially since my other car is already sold, I have bought new rims, winter tires etc., i.e. I don’t want to actually resign from the dealer. Well, what do you think, is it a lack if it has not yet come to a damage to the ECU, Lambda probe etc.? I am grateful for every tip, maybe someone has already had such a thing done and knows the prices with work time, because I can’t do it myself 😉

  • Roof rack for SLK 55 AMG retrofitting

    Now I have just read how I can make a basic carrier + ski carrier a friend in my SLK 55 AMG! And the sobering thing is: you can’t! There are for the SLK 200 – 350 retrofits so that you can mount a basic carrier + module if this has not happened ex factory! Only with the AMG package, which is part of the 55er, it is not possible! Has someone perhaps done this already or knows how this can work??? I find really mad that it is from W it is feasible, but in hindsight it is no longer possible… LG Basti

  • Upgrade Media Interface for iPhone?

    Hello together, I play with the idea to add a SLK (current series, ideally according to MOPF, possibly but also before). If possible, with Comand System. Is it possible here to upgrade the media interface to control the iPhone or must this be ordered ex factory? Thanks for a tip Michael

  • new york times teste s550 – “driver unwanted” as conclusion

    in an article quite negatively set against the technology madness, the new york times will be tested the new s-class. the writer enjoys a error message, points to the very bad performance of the old s-class at j.d.powers and comments in conclusion rather bitterly: “driver unwanted”. you have probably already discussed the electronic flood of the new s-class too complacent, but I did not want to withhold the test above. in the world there appeared a too well fitting comment. here too, the disengagement of the driver and the overflowing flood of never used miraculous functions is criticized. liebe gruss oli

  • W220 Questions about Model Care and Colors – PLEASE ASSISTANCE

    Hello guys, My father is currently driving a W220 S 500 long from 02/2000 with 68,000 kilometers. The vehicle has caused so many problems in the last 15,000 kilometers that my father now wants a facelift, in the hope that it will get better. What has everything changed with the facelift and is it much better than the one before Facelift? Are the errors mostly fixed? Did that hear that Facelift got a better suspension? Now a few questions about the colors. new that is in view, is emerald black metallic with leather anthracite. My father is currently driving obsidan black metallic with black leather. What looks more beautiful from obsidan black or emerald black? What’s the difference? Do you have the feeling that there is almost only obsidan black and hardly emerald black where is that? Does emerald black have a blue stitch? Does some pictures come across as such. Is the difference between black and anthracite leather very large and striking? The seller mei nd it looks really black for him. Do you think the combination is good between emerald black and anthracite leather? The car stands 300 kilometers away from us and therefore we do not want to experience evil surprises. Unfortunately I find hardly any pictures of these colors. Do you have any? Thank you for your help…

  • Year of construction or km, what is more important?

    Hello, since I want to buy a SLK 171 as already mentioned, I am currently looking around on the Internet. What to look for if you want to spend approx. 26 – max. 28. It should definitely be one after Mopf. But is it better, e.g. Bauj. 2008 and 10,000 km the year of construction 2009 and 35,000 km? Maybe someone can help?

  • Purchase planned, please for help

    Hello, I would like to get a R230 in the next few weeks and have a few questions about it, would be grateful if you could help me. Price range is up to 35 000 €, should inside and outside be black, checkbook and good equipment, km not more than 125 000. 1. Which versions of the Comand were available at the SL, from when were these installed? 2. What weaknesses have to be observed? The ABC chassis at the SL vulnerable? 3. Is the SL suitable for everyday use or extremely hard designed? 4. Are there any vulnerabilities? there is any possibility of emergency seats, any modification or similar so that the “seats” can be used as emergency seats in the rear? (it is very rare for me to have someone driving in the rear, but would be interesting to know if there is a solution for emergency seats) 5. Is the SL 350 “harmonious” to drive, is the quietness of 8 cylinders used, how is the characteristic of the 350?
