  • Renew callback brake underpressure line G500 BJ 04/2017

    Hello, I received mail from MB or KBA today. With my G500 BJ 04/2017 the brake pressure line is to be renewed, for this I should arrange an appointment with an authorized MB service partner as soon as possible. In the letter is also in bold print as soon as possible. Since I also received another callback campaign for another MB vehicle, with which as soon as possible it is not in bold print, I thought I should warn all possibly affected. Or am I d he last in the row? 🙂 G-rüße Kai

  • Engine jerks in stand at position D

    Since yesterday, I have noticed that my G270 cdi is in a standstill/vibrating position when I brake, come to a stop and hold the foot on the brake. Speed indicator does not wobble. If I switch to N, it feels mechanically less strong, but it remains belligerent. I imagine that the empty number in N is slightly higher than in D. Otherwise, driving is completely inconspicuous. I noticed the phenomenon with a warm engine. Does one know that? Groetjes Carsten

  • Sequentronic!

    Sequentronic! Who has experience? I have the intention of getting an MB sports coupe with Sequentronic soon, of course only after a detailed test drive. But this is already clear: An automated manual transmission (and something else is not) can not be compared to an automatic transmission with converter. BUT! Sound argument for Sequentronic are beside the price (plays for a convincing STERN driver actually no role, hi) convincing advantages g egenover the automatic transmission: Since there is no converter, there is also no power consuming slip, the translation after a gear change between the engine and transmission is always 1:1 ! Moreover, there is no fuel consumption in contrast to the automatic! And last but not least, the full final speed as with the manual manual transmission remains available. That the Sequentronic builds on top of that and is lighter than the automatic transmission, plays at DER Gewichtsk Are I right about all of this? I would be interested in more experiences about this! Perhaps MERCEDES has played at Sequentronic again and made it even better! Has anyone already had experiences with a model from 2003? Write! Greetings, Thomas from F.

  • Lifetime C 230 Compressor engine

    Hello, what experiences/information do you have with the life of the C230 compressor engines (w202). Drive an EZ 1999 with now 100,000 km (automatics), only long distance and all inspections. The workshop said that I would have to look for a new vehicle so gradually, because mine would soon be at 120,000 km and that is the “magical border”. But I don’t see why this should be, because I care for my car and never give gas before the engine is warm. How much can you do without bigger e Repairs on this machine? I would be grateful for tips! Greetings to you Mr. Winthorb

  • Report of the independent heating system C 280 / W204

    So far (C200K/W203) Bin So far a C200 compressor with factory built-in auxiliary heating was driven and was enthusiastic about the auxiliary heating – after 30 min the car was heated even at outside temperatures under 0 Grand to T-shirt temperature. Apart from the start time I did not have to adjust anythingNow (C280 /W204) auxiliary heating no longer factory order bar -On recommendation from Mercedes, I had the auxiliary heating of a well-known German manufacturer with its own auxiliary heating – website (name e i don’t consciously have it installed (allegedly the same as the Mercedes has supplied so far). Time set to 6:00 a.m. the following day – in the morning } Engine was warm Car was cold } Called at the car dealership and received the following information When parking the car, turn the heating up to full (28 degrees) and turn the blower automatically on windows and 20 sec. Wait (so that the actuators can set all settings…) } Is it even more cumbersome??? if I forget??? OK – we find ourselves set from time to 6:00 o’clock of the following day + heating on full + blower from Automatically set to windows + 20 sec. wait – on the next morning entered } engine was warm car was almost cold. }> drive to the car dealership and following INFO get lead time to increase to 60min and try again time set to 6:00 o’clock of the following day + heating on full + blower from Automatic set to windows + 20 sec. wait + lead time to 60min – on the next morning } Motor was warm car was almost cold. }> To the car dealership and …….???! !!! I would like to mention here that both the car dealership and the Bosch service involved absolutely took care of the problem – But from the manufacturer with the words “This is state of the art” (poverty certificate) were weighed off. Apparently an employee of the manufacturer said that you are aware of the problem – Then I ask myself why a manufacturer sells for about 2000€ such a garbage – I will no longer buy a product from this manufacturer.

  • SL500 (R230) does not open and close with remote control – middle armrest locked

    Hello dear community, my wife’s SL has experienced an absolute phenomenon. With the remote controls it is no longer possible to open and close. When you press open, the turn signals acknowledge, but nothing is done. If you close the driver’s door manually, the unlock and lock button in the amatur board does not work either. My biggest problem is that my wallet is in the center console and it is also locked and si Does anyone have any idea what this can be??? How do I get the middle armrest manually?? !!! PLEASE THING TO HELP !!!

  • Coolant temperature cold wrong

    Hello, a long-term silent reader has a question 🙂 I have a 98 SL 500 (129,068), currently still in hibernation. It starts very badly since last season, sometimes it even went out at the first meters. I then changed everything at the engine in winter, where I got good – vacuum hoses, seals, LMM, candles, cables, coils, injection valves, fuel pump and filters. Especially the hoses and seals were well worth it, the old ones were f As hard as glass. But it doesn’t do better to jump on. Then I noticed that it shows a water temperature of 65° before starting (when it’s cold), in AI and in the Star diagnosis. Coolant temperature sensor exchange has not brought any change, neither does it plug off. Cold he thinks it is at 65°. When it gets warm, the temperature rises slowly to 90° approximately, which looks plausible. The oil temperature shows correctly. The resistance of the old and new sensor adapts to the Table in the WIS (3300 ohms at room temperature). On the connector of the control unit I measure 7700 ohms, when it is outside in the cold, therefore I think that the cables cannot be completely broken. How can I get it to coldly perceive the real temperature?
