Hello, my /8er has a problem with the gearbox. When it is cold one hears a relatively loud noise from the direction of the gearbox. If you step out of the clutch the noise is removed as soon as you connect again – noise also there again. However, if the car has set a distance of about 40 – 50 kilometers back, the noise is hard to hear. Gear oil I have therefore already changed and also a chic additive with in tipped. A screwdriver colleague said that the main shaft in the Get probably had a problem. Did anyone ever have the problem here, or how would you proceed now? Get out the gearbox and overtake it, if that is at all possible or immediately a replacement gearbox in?

Hello, since I changed the fuel filter and the fuel prefilter at my 200D it doesn’t start any more. I didn’t make the beginner’s mistake to pour diesel into the new fuel filter. I’ve already done two times the battery empty while trying to start it. The fuel pump seems to work. I unscrewed the new fuel filter again after the battery has become empty for the first time, and there it was full of diesel. he described the fuel system in the Etzold ventilated. It immediately came out of bubble-free diesel where I had loosened the hollow screw (3) when I operated the hand pump. When I had tightened the hollow screw again I pressed the hand pump again. Then immediately diesel came out of the hand pump. Is this normal? Now I want to check if fuel arrives at the injection nozzles. I have read that the nut should be released at an injection nozzle and that Since I don’t know my question so well yet: Do you solve the mother below or the mother above (see picture)? I would be grateful for further tips.

Good day, everyone, we have just bought a used B W124 e220, Bj 1995, (3100.- Euro). Tüv until 01.2025. After the purchase a car expert who lives in the neighborhood took a look at it, He said the Tüv had not been allowed to release the car so in no case: wheel box at the front left rusted through, not insulated cables in the engine compartment. Now, 3 weeks after the purchase, the automatic transmission makes difficulties. I now ask myself whether the seller da noc Is it possible for me to carry out a major voluntary investigation at the Tüv, where the previous HU was flawed or “funny”? We would be happy if someone could report on similar experiences. With best thanks and greetings Marc

Hello, I have recently had a W123 280 CE 177PS 1979 which switches hard when driving comfortably. My mechanic does not measure a vacuum on the hose at the modulating pressure box on the gearbox. The hose is directly connected to an intake tube??? in the engine compartment. So no pressure box. Maybe one of the previous owners has plugged something there? or fits that anyway. Gear oil is new inside. Unfortunately, I can’t find an explosion drawing for this line. n. Although my mechanic works on Mercedes, he has too little experience with the old ones. LG Herbert

Good morning together, I just got out of the vacation and found a problem on the return journey from the airport to home. This problem also has a history: When I was about a month ago on the way to work, my car started to jerk and lost power. The car did not take any more gas, the speed decreased to a standstill and the car went out immediately when the clutch was pedaling. Although he had to start again after a short time and accelerated first normal, but already after a short time, symptoms repeated themselves o.g. Symptoms until the recumbent. I decided to pull a yellow angel and let myself be dragged to the nearest workshop. In this workshop, the following works were done: – Set valves – Change fuel filter – Change prefilter (at the tank) The latter has allegedly sat down and should have been the cause. The car then moved very little again until I just got back from the vacation and repeated myself on the home path. This time I did not get any help, but rather took the break with some forcible signs.

Hello Together Can the possibly defective vacuum box be the fault, that the automatic transmission no longer switches to 3 and 4 ?—- W 123 230e Bj.82 (oil and filter already renewed) Greetings Bernd

Hey together I’ve got a problem, my brakes have gone to the rear while driving. So I renewed both saddles as I assumed that they would be age-related and damaged by a lot of service life. But even now with the new saddles the brakes still block the rear and I have a very hard brake pedal. What else could it be? Is it then the parking brake that is strangely closed? But pedal and train feel good. Mfg Dominik

Hello dear forum! I’m new here and would need your opinion on the following topic: on the search for a ‘new’ car I was offered by a colleague a W123 TDT year 1983. I’ve only driven older cars (2CV, Golf1 Cabrio, Beetle Cabrio 1303) but never a Mercedes before, so I don’t know so much about these and would be madly pleased about advice!! More details about the Mercedes I get the days, but I mean that he has just over 300,000 km on it. I would drive him about 6,000 km a year. What is your opinion about a turbo diesel, is it more susceptible or not as long-lived/robust like other engines? What is your opinion about the number of kilometres? The coach should be in a perfect condition, but the number of kilometres somehow disinsures me a bit… About tips and advice I would be very happy!

Hello together, I have been the owner of a 240D from 1980 and would have a question about a severed cable or / hose. This is sitting at the engine at the bottom right if you are standing in front of it. Thanks & Greetings

And I would like to open a seemingly strange thread with this old-fashioned greeting and the completely unclear theme of the title (film stars). “Stars” is of course not meant by any human movie greats….??? …And now, you already know, it is meant by the true “stars” in partly irrelevant films. MERCEDES- VEHICLES IN THE FILM AND TV STORY could have been called the title. I have now already introduced some of them for such cinematic Mercedes models. I have already introduced some of them, the mountain doctor car and the “For heaven’s sake” car. But there are still so many other star cars, which had been placed in a big appearance in the film history. As a further example from a completely “peinliche” home clamotte from the 1950s, but with a “meeting of the third kind” yet , what automobiles are involved. There were 220S Ponton convertible, a Porsche 956 Coupe and a BMW 504 (?) just hang it off with a valve.
