E350 aircon gas

Hi I have an E350 W207 and think the aircon needs re-gassing. Has anyone used a DIY kit and can you confirm what gas to use.

Reorganizing SUV forums

With our local administrator's help, Teutone, he was able to bring some organization to the SUV forums. There are a couple of minor tweaks to be made. We are aware the V167 is actually the improper nomenclature for the latest GLE. It is supposed to be W167/V167. The V167 refers to the Australian model GLE which is approx. 2.5" longer than the rest of the versions. We're working on fixing that.

Noisy lower dashboard HVAC Aspirator Fan

Greetings all My cabin aspirator fan (the one next to the AC switches) is very noisy - buZZZZZes continuously like an angry Bee.🐝🐝🐝 I've read somewhere that the cause is either dirt / dust ingress or a rattling plastic casing which can be cleaned / secured, but it's NOT recommended to squirt lubricant in there (as it will mess up the electrics?).

Starter 'tap, tap' Question

Most car guys that have been in the hobby for a while know of the 'tap, tap' trick to get a starter to engage. My newly-acquired 2001 SL600 has failed to start on 3 occasions in maybe the last 50 starts. And when I say failed to start, I mean turn the key, everything powers up -- lights, horn, everything works -- and then nothing. Silence. No clicking, cranking or any other typically noises you'd hear when the car is firing up. In the 3 separate instances (the most recent two times were back... Starter 'tap, tap' Question

how can I reset Service A message?

I have searched and none of the procedures found on this site nor on Youtube work for my 2009 SL550. Several videos are labeled for 2009 SL550 and show a completely different steering wheel than mine. Currently, the message says "Service A exceeded by 5 days". Can anyone give me the exact steps for my car? Thanks.

Good morning all, Tried to update time last week, could not! Cd stopped reading since last fall. I tried to reach out via the Fix thread, unfortunately it is closed. Dealer offered fix via cd player, no luck there. So!!!!! Could the update be done through mp3 player? I'm assuming it is basically a card reader. If not, any thoughts or suggestions as to possible fixes? Also looking for options on cd player!! No sure if there are any. I have great respect for all of you who contribute...

14 Digit VIN

Hi all I recently acquired a 1991 230E W124 and has a 14 digit VIN on my registration papers. I had a look around the dash board, but couldn't find a VIN number anywhere. I also had a look on the driver side doors. There I found a number that's not the same as the VIN on the registration papers and also don't have the three letters before the numbers. My VIN number is 1240236B351262 Should I just add WDB before the numbers?

Plastic cap at the hinges where door is mounted on car

Hi checking by brand new w206, i just saw there is a plastic cap on each hinge that each door mounted on the car. I took one off by simply pulling it and underneath there is a torx screw that is being covered by the plastic where the paintwork is really badly broken like the screw has been unscrewed. This is the same the situation at all hinges, two per door, 8 in total. So i guess that it is normal something from production process where they need to screw unscrew the bolt to remove and...

Whirl flaps - some engines have sensor for the linkage position?

My friend has issues with whirl flaps. I noticed that some of the linkage has sensors to recognize the location of the linkage - obviously. Do these sensors make any problems, if I disconnect the linkage motor and the flaps will be open all time? (I am going to use 4,7 kOhm resistance the at the end of the cable to emulate the motor.) The car is MERCEDES-BENZ R-serie (W251, V251) R 320 CDI 4-matic (251.022, 251.122) Diesel 224 hv

Soft Close Trunk

When i open my trunk it makes a hydraulic sound. If i disconnect the battery and reconnect it works for 2-3 tries then stops. The trunk release works from driver door. But when i close it the soft close doesnt kick in. i have taken out the pump and sprayed epoxy where I thought the leak was but no luck. Should I just replace or is it something else? 2004 SL500

ML350 Radiator Fan is on high speed

I have 2006 ML350 and the radiator fan is on high speed and making noise like a jet engine even thought the engine is not hot (85 degree outside). I took it to dealer and the service adviser told me that it is a normal that Mercedes models have loud fan noise and everything checked out OK. The high fan speed occurs after I drove for about 20 to 25 minutes. Once the fan is on high speed, it does not change to lower speed. In common sense, the fan is to lower the temperature, so it should be... ML350 Radiator Fan is on high speed

1978 450SL starts but wont run

Will start with generous use of starter fluid and manually pumping the pressure regulator (little flap under air cleaner?), but cuts instantly if given more then a feather of gas. It will drive and you can slowly move it around but only if you barely give it any gas. What would be the best place to start on making it do not that? Thank you!

Orange two wires for radio

The Radio in my car stopped working after I had done an extensive work throughout the car. After watching a few videos, I bought a fiber optic loop and placed the female and male connectors in the connector that is located on the right wall of the right footwell as in pic. The radio works now. What is the function for these two orange wires and how can I tackle the issue from here. The command wheel does not work to select station. does the orange color wires have to do anything with it?

Cabriolet rear window seal

Hi, Found a roof shop that is willing to repair the water pockets/elastic straps issue on my 209 CLK 500 Cabriolet. Although not split the rubber seal around the rear window the roof edge pulls in to is rather stiff being 19 years old. Pretty sure a new rubber trim would help the roof to fit more easily. Anyone know the part number and does it come as a kit? Cheers

Questions about shocks, struts and lowering my X204

Today I went to the local dealer and had the transmission oil and filter replaced (Whew BIG BUCKS), but I am a DIY'r and saved enough on the full brake replacement and oil change to take it.

Intake manifold code 07 w203 c230 sport

Got a code stating that my intake manifold runner was stuck, along with the check engine light of course. Car still ran although rough almost like a misfire. Reaching out to get any advice on weather I should try and fix the part or replace the entire manifold? I like to do my own work if not overly complicated, is manifold replacement a diy kind of job, or best left to a pro? Thank you. Paul Brown

It's extremely difficult to fix modern cars without reading the diagnostic trouble codes, and cheap OBD-II scan tools only read the basic public codes. They can't read the...

Removed the cluster gauge, now the SRS light comes randomly on

Today, I removed the cluster gauge, to change some bulbs, and after I put it all together again, the SRS light stayed ON.

After I restated the engine, just to check, the SRS light stayed on again. Then on the 2nd. attempt, the SRS light came ON, then OFF, as usually, but then it turned ON again.

Headliner repair

I was told yesterday by a Mercedes mechanic that when removing the headliner (raising the hardtop slightly to a balance point), you have to put the hardtop in "standby mode", or the hydraulic pump will keep running and burn out! Is this correct, and if so, how do you put it in this standby mode?

M103 Head Gasket.

Aside from the oil leaking into the coolant, I have no other reason to replace my head gasket. Is it necessary on these cars to mill the head to do this replacement??? Also, where can I find information for TDC timing??? ANy advice on pulling/replacing the timing chain. I have only done belts in all my years. Otherwise my W124 has been a GREAT car.

W 211 E 55 AMG dyno mode questions

Hi all! With a friend, we have stripped a w 211 e 55 AMG and we installed the engine/tranny on a tubular frame chassis. We kept the key fob, the ECU, The TCM, the SAM module, The cluster and the car start. The only problem is that we can not have access to the dyno mode because of the brake warning on the cluster (error reduced braking power) So I want to know if there is another way to activate the dyno mode? (by the obd, remap ...) Thanks, Serge.

DIY First Gear Start Module

So I wanted to get a FGSM for my 87 420SEL, but they are nowhere to be found. It seems that the wiring is really simple for the feature, as my car has a stock kickdown solenoid. From what I understand, all that needs to happen is 12v signal needs to trigger that kickdown circuit. The issue is that a normal switch won't do as you will have to manually do it every time.
