  • SL 350 or SL 500 Help

    Hello everyone! I’m new here and I hope for your help, I’ve already read a lot here and find your knowledge really great. So my problem is this, I want to buy a new vehicle a SL350 or SL500 so from year 2002. What would you recommend to me I know that the 350 he has no ABC chassis as standard and consumes about 3 liters less. if I add a 500 I’m afraid that the ABC suspension could cause problems and the repair of this system is not particularly cheap. Since I can only drive in the city the consumption is important to me, sometimes quite honestly what consume your SL`s in the city, highway is not important. thank you very much in advance!!!

  • SL 350 or SL 500

    Hello, I’m about to change my car, it’s definitely supposed to be a SL again. I’m still thinking about whether 350 or 500. My brother drives a SL 350 year 2004. I often had the opportunity to drive it and was very satisfied. This SL 350 still has almost 3.8 liters, at 245 hp and a very nice balanced ride, in conjunction with the automatic, absolutely hectic-free. The new machine has only 3.5 liters, at over 300 hp. Does anyone have experience with it? with a car not so much on the engine power, rather subjective for me, but on the feeling when driving itself. In 2010 comes anyway 130 as a top speed, EU specification, because I would feel so stupid to drive with 500 hp, 130 km/h next to a golf. I often drive in my weekend home to Belgium, gladly open when the weather is playing along. There once overtaken me a F 50, with 135 km/h, that was the ridicule itself. But again to the point, I do not want a nervous motor dri I’ve seen this before in the Porsche, when I’ve once gone abroad, and I’ve never used the acceleration to my present 500th, so I’m fond of a 350 model. I drive about 50 000 km a year and I want to do it calmly and relaxed. Greeting, Manne07

  • An embarrassment: Errors on the AMG website

    Sooo… now we want to see if someone from AMG is reading here. The following errors occurred to me ad hoc on the AMG website about 1 month ago. I thought to myself… “Hmmm… well, someone will notice that … and that will certainly be corrected.” … But nothing. The mistakes are still there. Apparently nobody is looking at their own website (because the mistakes are really obvious). Point1:”Dark tail lights white on the performance character of s SL63 AMG” Well… on the one hand, the red/black tail lights know that they are not white. Therefore, they also know nothing else. The error is already a long time on the website. And the darkened tail lights pointed (if at all) already to the performance character of the SL55 Mopf1. But that is of course nowhere. Therefore, the note(s) is allowed here that the word “instruction” is not “ss” and certainly not with “ß” screaming. bt… With AMG you obviously don’t see it like this:

  • SL presentation

    Was someone at the presentation and has experienced the tragedy ? The øAge of felt 65 joked over neck heating ,Diffusor uvam . Hardly enthusiasm and satisfaction , no spontaneous orders although the possibility existed . Acknowledged the buffet and the young things , which constantly filled the buffet and the glasses . Otherwise was expected more approval . The question about a lighter SL was discussed in a larger circle with the sales manager of the NL rege . the references to luxury equipment and stability were not to be satisfied. Ultimately there were about 20-25 people , among them some engineers who gave the topic weight the priority , still before performance and consumption . This had probably also been imagined by the organizers differently . Meanwhile the red wine had shown its effect with the accompanying , but not involved in the conversation in the form of quengelei so that this event found an end after about 3 hours . I h would not have thought that these elderly visitors have such constructive ideas ; if I think of some contributions here in the forum ……. mfg ortler

  • Kangoo Ruckelt after start / goes off – bin Ratlos

    Hello, my BJ06 Kangoo somehow spins. This year was my first winter with him. When it started to get colder he always jerked after letting on. In the summer when it was really warm he didn’t do this. So you let him on and he jerks and runs somehow restless, whom you drive and step on the clutch within the first 1000-2000 meters, without giving gas, he actually always goes out. Who I just lightly give up the whole time standing gas don’t dan. I was already at ATU, who have g I couldn’t show you that jerking because he was warm. They just said that he was so cool and they could now look blindly for the mistake but that would be quite expensive, of course, because they didn’t see the mistake. Who he ran warm then he runs wonderful. What can that be? What can I do there?

  • C16se

    Hello have a C16SE implanted in my Astra and wanted to ask if there are still so 20hp in there with bissel tuning. If there were already a few euros to latzen but should also be worthwhile.

  • Z22SE Performance Increase

    Hello MT municipality it is about a Z22SE in the Vectra C … the engine is also traded as L850 of GM and thus installed in tens of other vehicles … Performance increase is the topic .. I found the following post Quote: A 2.2-liter, four cylinder engine from the new aluminum ECOTECfamily – which will premiere in Europe in the Astra Coupé – also powers the Speedster. The engine is constructed from aluminum alloy and weighs a mere 138 kilograms. It produces 108 kW (147hp) at 5800 rpm m with a maximum torque figure of 203 Nm, whereby 90 percent of this is available at 1800 rpm.” 203 Nm is 147 ft-lbs. 138 kg is 304 lb. 147 hp is awesomely low for a 2.2 liter engine, however. Hopefully it should be able to do well over 200 hp with some tuning (and no turbos) can only agree with the author 147 hp is not really a lot for a 2.2 l engine … so I’m looking for RENEWABLE suggestions to turn a bissel on the wheel YeahOne.com offers a power kit for this engine where the motorle but unfortunately not in the mail order (have with those telebimst) otherwise only without guarantee 🙁 .. so proposals PLEASE

  • best oil for x16sz?

    Hello, Can someone tell me what I can give the x16sz engine (1,6L) for oil without it breaking? I would like to use 5W40 again, but my motor doc said that this would be too thin and 10w40 is best suited for it. But I still think the 10w40 is too thick when it’s cold. The 5W40 is already pretty thin. Since I like to use the engine extremely hard and I like to load the engine even in cold conditions, I would like to use an oil which is the V Is there anything better for this engine or is 10W40 the best? Actually, I find full-syntetic oils much better. Use partial-syntethic or oils that only consist of mineral components also really very reluctantly…

  • C20xe problems

    After the conversion to C20xe, the ABS lamp lights up after about 5 minutes! The ABS then stops of course. At Opel they demand for the error memory read out the ABS sensor 25 € is that ok? Could be that only a wheel sensor is dirty/wet or not properly sitting on it, in the “worst” case would probably be an ABS sensor!? Anyway, what makes me stutzig, that is from the brake fluid tank at the top of the closure brake fluid squeezes out. d you can see the car from time to time a few drops on the ground. There were already a few puddles on the gearbox. The liquid level is exactly between Min and Max. I hope someone can help me with the problem!? MfG astrahd
