  • I want to be one of you!

    Moin love Peeps, Since I was 99/00 in the good ol States for 10 months, I also want to drive a V8. As so often the question now arises: Which one? Now I turn to you caricatured Amikruhserz. Help me. My idea of my future PahddiPatrolKruhserkarre: -the typical V8 sound with PS doesn’t matter, can also be 100 -2 doors -maximum should be 15 liters at 100 km, more I don’t want to afford -from 1950 to 1993 everything is beautiful -Oldie or nich, is mirvoscht – don’t have to be a muscle, but don’t do anything if you introduce me to Camaro, Trans Am, El Camino or anything else – a mixing from Chevy Caprice, Buick Le Sabre and Cadillac Eldorado I would be really connected if you could recommend something to me.

  • Which youngtimer for everyday life?

    Hello friends of the sun, I would like to buy myself a youngtimer and am not quite sure which one is the right one. Budget is max. 10k€. I fluctuate between w126, w124 or w201. It should be a vehicle for everyday life, a lot of short distances etc. But also sometimes long distances. It would be important to me that the car is reasonably comfortable and if it is necessary comes from the spot. Drive a polo bj. 2003 and that is partly louder inside than outside and very uncomfortable. Ic h doesn’t want a garage lover, because it would be too bad, the car should stand outside and also be driven daily. I will care for this and have to drive long years ago. Now of the above mentioned models I have driven so far only the w126, which I absolutely liked. Only I did not feel so suitable for everyday life, very heavy load and parking would probably not be so dolle with the ship. Otherwise I like it very much. Which of the other two models comes from the W126 Is it good for daily driving? The one I drove was a 3 litre engine, but from the motorization I thought it was good for short distances perhaps not suitable. I am happy about your impressions.

  • Gearbox noise 4 gear switches

    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?

  • W123 200D no longer starts after fuel filter change

    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.

  • Tüv is Tüv?

    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

  • Where in the engine compartment it is connected to the automatic transmission (modulation pressure)

    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

I’m just curious about your answers. Thank you blsmooth

  • Waiting in N,P or just leaving in D?

    So I’m telling myself once again… does the method bring or does it spare anything if I switch to N at stops (light) or is the gearbox even more loaded by the constant change? Gruss Robi
