R129 Overheating Mystery

1998 SL500 Replaced thermostat, fan clutch, flushed system and still have an over heating problem.

Questions about free charging for 2 years

Just bought an EQS. Very excited. Have a few questions about public charging. Does the 2-year free charging start when you purchase the car or when you activate the Mercedes me Charge? Currently, I am charging at home and do not have to go out to charge. Maybe I can delay the two-year period for a few months. Does the free charging apply to both Electrify America and Chargepoint stations or just the former? the car came with a small Charge card? is it used at the station or you can just use...

oil filter

I purchased my first oil filter from the MB dealership here in Louisville KY. When I got home and took it out of the box the filter had an orange perforated wrapping around it. In the 10 years I've owned my 500SL I've never seen that on the other filter brands. So my (hope it's not too stupid) question is does the wrapping stay on or do I take it off before installing? Thanks Rock

Quick question: I just bought a 2007 SL5500 and the nav system is hopelessly out of date. The MB Nav web site says they don't do it any more. I have to believe there is something out there that can update my navigation system. Any ideas?

Cabin temp sensor wiring

Hi, I recently repainted my '85 wagon and in the process I had the shop change the dash to the best I could find which was an earlier "lever fresh air" type.

I know I can find a sensor, so while I wait for it to arrive can anyone point me to where the cable for the temp sensor originated from? I can't seem to find any dangling cable, so...

How can I stop diesel fuel thermostat leak?

I have a 1987 300TDT with the OM603 engine. The diesel fuel thermostat has a small leak, which I'd rather fix instead of replacing the whole thing, which seems like a waste of money. Do I need to buy only an O-ring or gasket? Are there instructions/DIY for how to do the repair? Any idea what Mercedes part number I need for a new O-ring (or whatever I need to replace to stop the leak?). Thanks.

Convertible top hyd pump orientation

I know this may sound strange. What is the proper orientation of the hydraulic pump in the 2006 SL500? Reservoir forward or to the rear? Also, if it isn't in the right position, will the top not work? The one in my car has the reservoir forward. All the other SL500's I've seen on the 'net have it to the rear. I want to make sure which way it is supposed to go before I go any further diagnosing why the top doesn't work.

HELP , fuel hose part numbers? 420SEL

These three hoses are dry and cracked. I have been searching but not sure what the part numbers are.

I don't want to do what most people do where they cut off the rubber and redo it with new rubber and clamps

2005 CLK500 Cabriolet Keyfob IR not activating top.

My keyfob locks/unlocks the doors, it opens the trunk, and starts the vehicle. What it DOESN'T do is open/close the convertible top or roll the windows up or down using the keyfob and the door handle sensor. It sometimes works, but even when it works, only when the fob is nearly touching the sensor. The top works fine using the console switch. Fresh battery didn't help. I've looked at the keyboard IR transmitter with cell phone and the LED seems to work.[ATTACH... 2005 CLK500 Cabriolet Keyfob IR not activating top.

Tail light wiring layout?

What's up guys. I have been changing all my lights (interior and exterior) on my '06 c230 from halogen to LED. So far so good. I ordered some bright red LED bulbs I want to use for my rear turn signals, brake lights and running lights. I also got the same bright LED bulbs but in white for the reverse lights. I'm going to need to use load resistors for the signal bulbs to prevent the hyper flash, and possibly for every other light. I already purchased these from Amazon... Tail light wiring layout?

Serpentine Belt, siezed ac compressor. What length to bypass?

So ac compressor seized. 3 mechanics, one auto part store, and a parts geek customer care rep advised me under no circumstances to get the cheap compressor or the rebuilt, or I will be dead in water again.

I was using my Google-Fu and found a thread, with what I though was one person with W251, 2008, R-Class, post they did it. I also vaguely remember a belt length for the bypass.. So I get...

Alright, I'm bored and haven't been able to get an answer even after searching the entirety of the intrawebs.

But I can't tell if the 411 is the same size or much smaller. Anyone have any thoughts. I'm 6'5" and 265lbs. So not small.

Can not fully fill up gas tank on 07 s550

My gas tank does not get filled up for more than 75% of gas tank's capacity; I have to "manually" re pump every time the hose head pops off because it thinks fuel tank is full . Anyone had this issue before? Very annoying. I have read something about charcoal filter? If this is the culprit how much should I except if I take it to a local mechanic. Also, how bad is this issue can it become worse or should I just live with it LoL.

Coil springs - meaning of part numbers

I have a 1999 E55 avantguard. My local dealers say they think it's been lowered and it does have a hard ride and the springs do not have the coloured stripes that the originals would have had. The car has travelled 240kms and I don't know the history, so I figured I'd go to new factory springs. The problem is, I live in New Zealand where we pay as much for shipping as we do for the springs themselves and it looks like I misread the points system chart, so now I have some springs that may...

Shortcut with water in floorboard question.

Hi so last year I had water in the passenger floorboard. I did some checking at it was a plugged drain in that side of the sunroof. Now I have a drivers side floorboard that is wet. Is it possible its the opposite sunroof drain? On other models I have seen that beneath the hood there is something near the firewall. A drain maybe. People make a mesh barrier to keep debris out. But I am not sure if that is true for the c280. Any tips?

W123 is the life for me, maybe a W124? Hell, why not a few more.

Hey all, I'm the proud owner of a 1984 300D named Madeline, and a 1991 300E named Victoria. I'm reasonably capable at DIY and I enjoy driving and slowly restoring them over time. It feels good to keep the old girls going and I'm only at 10k between them. I spent 20k on a new Kia Optima in 2016 and I maybe got a quarter of the utility out of that. Looking forward to learning from all of you and sharing my progress!

CLS500 Steering controls stopped working

When I got into my 2006 CLS500 today and the steering wheel controls stopped working. It stays on the audio but I can no longer change the station or volume through the steering wheel. I can change the controls only thorough the center console. Also the horn does not work. Is this a fuse? Can someone help? Thanks, Jordan

Why is the R33 not popular?


The arguable single biggest real reason for the R33's poor reputation compared to the R32 and R34 is its softer suspension tuning.
