Removing the Exterior Lamp Failure Monitoring unit/relay (N7)

Hello, What would be the consequences of removing the Exterior Lamp Failure Monitoring module/unit/relay (N7)? This module is located behind the fusebox, has a large size and has part numbers such as 126 542 00 32, 126 542 01 32, 126 542 03 32, maybe more variants with changes on the 7th and 8th digits. If any of the external lights (Low beam, high beam, fog, parking, tail, licence plate, stop, turn signal, rear fog and reversing light) fails/burns, the warning light on the cluster turns on...

A 200 2006 - W169

Hi All, I recently purchased this vehicle, and it does not have a Bluetooth or aux adapter. I have phoned around to the local merc dealerships near me, and all say that I need to just replace the radio. Radio model is an MF2550. The radio does have phone capabilities, but the phone adapter is not installed. How did you "Upgrade" yours? Better to get the cables or replace the radio. I dont want to loose the steering wheel function.

MY NEW GLS 550

Well I bought a new GLS 550 because there are no more diesel MB cars coming in to the USA. I was driving an ML350 Bluetec and loved it. Loved the torque and its fuel efficiency. I went for the bigger GLS because is it the only V8 left in an MB SUV. My dealer was able to find me a car which had all the options I wanted and none of the options I didn't want except the sunroof. A car without a sunroof is a special order car. I didn't want to invest in the AMG SUVs. Here is my review. It is... MY NEW GLS 550

Power steering pump reservoir

Power steering pump reservoir. Hello I have a 1996 Mercedes SL. 5.0. The power steering pump reservoir snapped where the hose connects. Would anybody have a clue on where to find a new one or is there another model reservoir that fits from a different vehicle such as the S 500 from the same time. Super frustrated I've been looking everywhere and can't seem to find.

When the sunroof is propped up and I try to slightly pry it up with my hand, the right side flexes and goes up, the left side is firm.

Currently have a W163 from 1999 that I've lifted and used for overlanding and camping trips. I saw that the W166 had the option for the Offroad package and airmatic starting 2013 with the diesel engine. Does anyone have an example of one or know of anyone selling one? Thanks!

560SL Bouncing Seats

Hello All — I'm looking at purchasing a 560sl that I've found from a fairly reputable dealer in pretty good shape. The one major issue is that above 65/70mph the driver and passenger seats seems to kind of gently bob up and down, mainly from the front end. Is this common? Can it be fixed / corrected? Thanks!!!

Thinking of buying a 2008 GL450 with electrical issue

There's a very nice 2008 GL450 for $6500 I'm looking at, but it has an electrical issue that was draining the battery, so the previous owner installed a switch under the passenger seat. What kind of trouble do people think this is? Also, it has 175k miles on it, what do I need to look for? Are these decent cars for the mechanically inclined? I don't drive too much either. Wondering about opinions on this model's reliability and cost and any other opinions about it! Thank you!

Power steering woes (long) - need some expert opinions

In 2014 I replaced the water pump and the power steering pump because there was a nasty tapping noise coming from the drive train. I found the original power steering pump had about 2- 3mm end play and when the pulley/shaft moved in an out of the pump under load that was what caused the knocking sound. At the time I bought a dirt-cheap aftermarket pump and a new reservoir. The new pump never felt as mighty as the original one as far as I remember. The original is a 130mm pully and I believe...

2019 E63 hood opening

A simple thing but I don't want to force it. I had a 2014 and the hood would open a full 90 degrees straight up. (also had a 2010 I believe did the same). This one doesn't want to go that far. Opens like a regular hood. Does this year 2019 open up all the way to 90 degrees? I don't remember if I had to do something to get it open all the way. Doesn't feel like it wants to go and I don't want to force it and there is nothing I can find in the owners manual.

Head Unit Modification

Does anyone know if it is possible to remove the ashtray and substitute a double-DIN sized head unit? They are making nice touchscreen units with rear-view cameras for pretty cheap these days. I know there is a brace separating the head unit from the ashtray, but I wonder if that could be moved back, or the sides simply reinforced if needed. Has anyone tried it?

I am in need of 4 factory sized wheels to fit my 1990 SL300 roadster. the car has AMG 17" wheels on it now, correct size is 16" Ive found that the AMG do not provide the ground clearance I would like to have. For discussion I have 225/4517ZR Michelin Pilot sport on the car now. after a flat tire event I installed the spare which is a 225/55R16 older Firestone tire. The 16" is approximately 1 1/2 " taller.

Mercedes c230 kompressor p0302 help please!

I have a 2005 Mercedes C230 kompressor. I was driving down the freeway when I got a CEL for a code p0302. I checked my coils they seem fine so I changed my spark plugs which were long overdue. Then I noticed that my air intake wasn't hooked up all the way there was a big gap where was supposed to be connected. My question is could that be the cause of my misfire?

Breaker(Fuse) F9

Figured I would ask the village their thoughts on some wiring gremlins in my 1990 SBU. Over the past few weeks I keep losing power to F9 intermittently. It's killing everything on circuit #4 in the wiring diagrams. Interior light, shift indicator, reverse light, turn signals. I have pulled and checked all the bulkhead plugs on both sides(engine/interior) and made sure power was where it was supposed to be.

Interesting YouTube links to car mechanics

Until two years ago, I had never seen a truck on the inside. Meanwhile, I bought myself a U3000 to convert it into an expedition vehicle. Unfortunately I am not far enough along with the construction so I cannot homologate the Unimog to a camper and therefore I cannot drive it yet (it is also not registered as a truck). I am mainly focusing on building the expedition vehicle. But I would also like to learn a lot about car mechanics. Do you know any good YouTube links to learn a bit more...

Adjusting parking brakes

I tried to find a thread about DIY adjust my parking brake but didn't find anything. I have a 2001 S55 with 70,000, well maintained. If I park the car up hill or down hill and apply the parking brakes they don't hold as supposed to. How do I adjust the parking brakes? My brother can do that for me. Laura

W245 B200Turbo, Fuel cap pressure on release

Hi Guys, wonder if any one can help me, I have a 2008 W245 B200 Turbo, runs well, no problems but when I release the fuel cap, there is a ton a pressure (air) that blows outwards (especially on a hot day.

Any suggestions? or maybe just replace fuel cap.. not sure, please help, this cannot be good ..

Resistance during crank

I have an 86 SEC that I have been trying to bring back to life. Engine had a bent piston rod which I replaced as a part of the rebuild. During the rebuild, I must admit, i knocked over the box that was holding my rockers and shims. So when I put it back together, I'm not 100% they went back where they came from. I followed the tech manual instruction for placement but without a go-no-go gauge, i couldn't be certain it was correct. Now that I am trying to get it started, I noticed that when I...

But I needed to drive back home around 100 km. I kept the engine not exceed 3000 rpm. Then the next day I drove around neighborhood, the transmission didnt shift at all. I need to go to the mechanic and he said I lost my transmission. He said it might be complicated to trace back why it didn't change to 5th gear and more parts... I have lost my 772.500 transmission.
