  • Perforated brake disc at 350 is joined

    Hello, problem: In my 350er, the holes of the brake disc appeared to be fitted with brake dust. I determined it yesterday when I was driving backwards from a parking gap and had no braking effect. In further driving during braking, the pedal imme harder when I was standing on the brake longer or several times successively on the brake. As soon as the discs seemed to cool down, the pressure point was back to normal. The question now arises: Why do you sit down? The holes close themselves and how can I get them clean again without immediately unscrewing the wheels and tediously popping out the dirt with a screwdriver.

  • Unwrong !!!

    Hello everyone! Three days ago a Turkish truck is striped to a left curve my W-220 Bj.99 (bumper, headlights scratched, kotflügel, mirror, rim everything on the ars…) , my girlfriend was at the wheel and called the police immediately . When the police came the immediately said the truck driver is to blame and he should pay at the spot 125 € penalty , because he drove on right track and that at the drawn line . Police has taken all photos , address , company and s. w.! My girlfriend then got my insurance and then we wanted to call the insurance from the truck driver. Only after 2 hours we reached the and fortunately work together with Gotthar insurances ! Yesterday I was at mercedes and they have unfortunately no evaluator in the house , then have made a estimate about 4000€ and that only by looking at ! I don’t think that’s good of those and now I’m thinking about going to an evaluator or should I wait until the opposing insurance lets one come to me ??? Have now no car has to work but every day ! Should I maybe borrow a car ? Will then the costs be taken over ? But I am glad that my girlfriend nothing happens anything else is replaceable !!! Thank you for your advice !!!

  • Which 126 has the gene as a classic?

    Hi my colleagues, since they also have such a Fred in the department W124, I would like to know what you think, what makes a classic of the series 126? Is it equipment/motorization? Is it the condition (original)? Is it the age (first series or second series)? So I am located at the very rear with the condition of mine and the age: at the end of 1990 year of construction, no longer original engine and currently under construction SEC with 500 engine. Most of you know it yes I find the car must look somewhat original. The only thing that has to mean is that it can be subtly lower (that is, the coupé at least) and have small adjustments that could come from the 80s. What’s not possible is modern tuning on the 126s!

  • S420 crack of the control chain / sliding rails

    Hello, so now it has happened with me, even more abroad 🙁 At approx. 148 tkm and 14 years a little early…. On the third day of a multi-day pass tour, in the morning (before we went up the first pass of the day), at approx. 40-50 kmh slightly uphill: a “Schnalzer” and then “rien ne va plus”, rolled out 15-20m, all lights on…. Diagnosis of the next MB workshop: crack of the control chain by breaking the right slide rail (viewed from the front). l & candles they have removed and with light camera looked inside the pistons, which did not carry any damage from it. Valves they could not check without further cost…. I connect a few photos: – on Pic 1 you see the torn chain (left) – on Pic 2 the chain has laid over each other (right) – on Pic 5, 8 and 9 you see the broken plastic part (is relatively large the thing, so about 15-20 cm long and 10 cm wide….is that at all the sliding rail ?) I will have the car brought to Ö now, and have the engine repaired (option 1) or a replacement engine (option 2) remembered, if a repair does not seem useful. Since the pistons seem OK and the whole thing happened at low speed, I hope for a repair possibility. For tips and information I am grateful, what should be exchanged with an engine revision even more immediately: e.g. – all sliding rails, also the lower – valve bridges etc …………. LG, Chris ps: the Photos were taken with the mobile phone cam and slightly tactile hand, hence the quality of the…

  • W140 found – Price/ Offer usable?

    Hi, when I was searching the internet, I kept stuck with the W140. Except for parking warners, he actually has everything I’m looking for – and very important: NO leather. What do you think about it? According to autofocus, the price is quite luxuriant, to put it nicely. Here I come to a dealer’s truck of about 5900. What would you think would be realistic? I would have to count for a well-installed gas system again about 3-4000, wouldn’t it? Would the km-performance for a gas conversion un d then about 25000km still tolerable in the year? What do reasonably useful return warning costs for the car? A retrofit (must not necessarily be DB-original) would be useful for me (not exactly large parking garage at work). THANK YOU! Joe.

  • Advice SLK 350

    Hello, I have a nice W203er (successor of a catastrophic A6-4f), which agrees so that I decided not to exchange it for a W204, but instead to invest my reserved finances in a small second car. I was thinking of a SLK of the R 171 series, Bj 2005-2006. Now I have already driven a nice SLK200 sample and it worked partly already “efforts”, as far as the power is concerned. Now I have the following offer in the Au SLK 350 How are your experiences with the SLK350, i.e. susceptibility to motor+7G-Tronic, what is the average consumption if you want to step on it? Is there something, well, special, what you should pay attention to when buying a R171, so typical used car things or something 🙂 Tax and insurance are surprisingly moderate and do not exceed those of the SLK200 compared to the power gain.

  • New car – old tires?

    Hello Forum, my daughter has just bought an R 171 (EZ: 3/2006) from 1st hand in a NL. The reared summer tyres are according to DOT from the 27th KW/2004. That seems to me, can not be normal. The seller gave himself clueless and thought that would be possible as the car was already produced in 10/2005. Who knows about it? Can a MB – MA confirm that it is normal that “Just in Time” delivered tyres can be almost two years old. I think that was exchanged in the NL, or by the previous owner. My previous experiences with new cars have shown that the tires (up to a few weeks) are indentically with the production date of the vehicle. Thank you for constructive answers and greetings from the guennek

  • Is the offer okay?

    Since I recently got to a rogue seller and bought a supposedly accident-free SLK, which subsequently turned out to be 100% core scrap, I have now become cautious and therefore my question to you what do you think of this offer. http://www.autoscout24.de/Details.aspx?id=vq4iicpwsfcc Simmt da das Preis – Leistungsverhältnis und wast weihlich mich bekeit auf Bewerbung. Must a dealer actually always give warranty or guarantee or can he the exclusive ßen? Always read the guarantee only at extra cost. many thanks in advance
