SLK55 Stalling Problem

HELP!!! I have a 2005 SLK 55 AMG for just over a year. From the beginning, it has suffered from an intermittent stalling problem --- while I'm driving!!! It only happens at low speed (thank goodness), around 25 - 30 miles/hr. Months can go by with no problem and then all of a sudden, it will happen a few times within a week or two. Then it will disappear! Two Mercedes dealers are mystified and say they cannot duplicate or find the problem. It's scary when it happens. I put the car in... SLK55 Stalling Problem

722.6 transfer case rebuild kit?

Hi folks, I just replaced my OG transfer case which failed due to using red transmission fluid after about 20K miles with a used one. FWIW there is a lot of bad information out there regarding transfer case fluids. In any case, I replaced it with this used one that had 60K miles on it, which after driving in -20*F temps two days ago, started to leak. It also had been "moaning" when it was cold at around 35-45 mph unitl it warmed up. Frustrating. In any case, I want to rebuild the... 722.6 transfer case rebuild kit?

It looks like another custom built project by Merex. I just bumped into it in one of Mog's videos. And here at 3:20 is the shot. Now I remember Truktor has mentioned something about it while back.

CLK 500 Radio Issue

Recently purchased a 2005 CLK 500. Got an amazing deal on it, car is in really great shape, with no issues other than the radio and a few cosmetic blemishes. I'm having (what appears to be) a common issue within W209 CLK500s. Radio turns on, switches to CD selection and back and forth, but still no sound. When I click CDC, it says "No Magazine". I've tried to pull the fuse in the trunk, can't remember what number, as well as #26 and #36 on the front driver side fuse box. Still no sound... CLK 500 Radio Issue

Running rich?

I was looking at some live data today as I have a code indicating a kat below effiency. I wanted to check the o2 sensors and I would really appreciate some help. the front pre kat o2 sensors are both showing 0.9 v constantly, does this mean it is running very rich? I am using Carly and I am wondering if it simply doesn't show the cycling as it happens so fast? fuel economy seems a little down. I have no codes relating to mixture at all any advice / help would be appreciated

Question regarding W211 Upper Control Panel Wiring

Hi all, quick question. Trying to find an ACC wire to tap from the overhead control panel area of the car. All of the colors of the wires up there are weird. I found an 8 pin connector that goes to the rear view mirror, WIS diagram seems to show 15R (switched power) goes to pin 4 and 8 on the harness. Pin 8 is vacant in my connector and pin 4 is grey/blue stripe. Is it possible that grey/blue is a 12v ACC line? It seems like a weird color. The OCP wire diagram on WIS didn't have the colors...

Rear Lift Gate won't close

So I am having an issue with my rear lift gate. It will open for most part ok, either fully or pretty close. But it won't go down at all. I can hear motor running, but nothing. I read on other forums that the auto lift gates and trunks for other Mercedes cars are pneumatic based, but I think this one is more hydraulic based.

2005 g55 amg - 83mm pulley and Mbh headers?

I am planning to update the 5 belt pulleys and figured while I was there I'd do the 83mm SC pulley. I'll also do the BWK. I'll do the split cooling and upgrade the pump. Lastly I figured I'd upgrade to Mbh headers. wanted to gather everyone's opinion on if these mods would give decent performance gains while not causing any longevity or reliability issues. thanks in advance.

91 500SL Differential mount bushings.

Hello, Do you have to drop the subframe to replace the differential mount bushings, or it can be done just by dropping the differential on a 91 500SL? Thanks. Ed

1991 560SEL Intermittent Crank - No Start

I have a 1991 560SEL that has a no start condition that I am struggling with to diagnose and any advice would be appreciated. Car will start and drive (very minimal throttle response though) and then stall and will crank but not restart. This happened for about a week and now it will not start at all, just cranks over. Replaced the fuel pump relay, no change in condition. Before going further, I removed the cover from the fuel pump relay and pushed the contact while having someone crank... 1991 560SEL Intermittent Crank - No Start

Hello Benz Friends

Glad to join this helpful forum. Looking forward to learning and contributing. I've owned an '11 C300 (W204) 4-matic and now an '06 E350 Wagon (W211) 4-matic. Couldn't be happier with the E350. I've been a long time fan of the W211 body style and love the extra space in the E class. I got lucky with a well maintianed lower milage example, and I've fixed a few minor cosmetic and convenience issues that the original owner let go. I am fan of well cared for older cars.

Do my tires need to be staggered?

Hi All I checcked the forum and did not find the answer i was looking for. Sorry if this has been answered before. I have 2011 C300 4matic and I have the staggered tire set up of 225/45/17 front and the 245/40/17 in the rear. My question is do they have to be staggered? Can i just put either size all the way around or will it impact the transmission due to different rotation per mile? Thanks

what is the period correct radio for a R107 450SL 1979?

I am getting mixed information, some have said the Becker Europa II with cassette and some say the Becker Grand Prix 612. To get official "collector" status I need for my insurance it has to have a period correct radio (within 2-3 years) So There is some flexibility on what radio I install, so it just comes down to cost at this point.

Package tray original color

I'm reconditioning a 1998 w210 E320 sedan. Outside silver inside grey. The package tray is badly faded (see pic). Under the headrests it's kind of a charcoal color. The exposed area is a purplish grey mess. Is the original color black or some lighter shade? I see spray on automotive carpet dye in black, charcoal, and gray and want to try that. And what about those speaker grills? Should be same color? Thanks in advance.

E320 Wagon: Why does folding the rear seats lock the front pass seat?

Hi -- this problem repeatedly annoys me about this car, any suggestions?: When the rear seats are folded down the front passenger seat automatically slides all the way forward, making it impossible for any adult to sit there. There is more than enough space between the seat-back and the folded down seats. Any way to get around this? Thanks....

When the rear seats are folded down the front passenger seat automatically slides all the way forward, making it impossible for any adult to sit there. There is more than enough space between the seat-back and the folded down seats. Any way to get around this? Thanks....:)

1978 SL280 fuel pump issue

1978 MB SL280 Fuel Pump issue. First, where is it? LOL, Second, is it easy to replace? Third, where can I find the part? I have a 1978 SL280 straight 6. It was starting/running. Last time I started it about a month or so ago, it ran a bit rough. Always smooth as silk before. But it was sputtering last time I started it. Then today, I put fresh premium fuel in it and some fuel injector cleaner and it would not start at all. I turned the key over but could not hear the fuel pump kick... 1978 SL280 fuel pump issue

My fuel cap cable broke. I've tried searching online for a replacement rope but have not been successful thus far. Heaps around for other models. Can anyone point me in the right direction?

C209 soft top, spring on end of tension cable part #?

I have been getting a wealth of information on this site, especially from Rudeney, thanks! What started as the water bag getting caught in the back window moulding, which then exposed the glue coming apart that allowed the tension cable to not allow the top to rest under the back window moulding, which turned into a discovery that the spring holding the tension cable had broken. My roundabout question is, is there a part # for either just the spring or the cable and spring? Not sure how... C209 soft top, spring on end of tension cable part #?

S550 Convertible/CABRIOLET

I am looking at a pre-owned 2017 S550 Convertible/CABRIOLET fully loaded with every option (163K original MSRP). It has around 30K Miles. Is their anything special to look for or reasons to stay away from the 2017 or the Convertible/CABRIOLET S550 models in general? I've been looking for W222 or Convertible/CABRIOLET for quite some time (can't wait to switch to MB coming from BMW X7 "note: I don't mind the lesser space").

Greetings, I have a 2009 E550 with 101k miles, it runs great with no CEL or codes.

Recently it has become much more noticeable with one instance a week ago where the car shuddered a bit while making the noise uphill. Today I did some more investigation and I can hear a tick from the right side of the engine at idle, that increases with RPM. The ping under... 2009 E550 engine ticking

Brake lights stuck on even without fuse - not brake switch

Evening all. My PITA W203 C 240 has a problem with the brake lights stuck on even with fuse 62 taken out. I've recently replaced the BAS/ABS module to sort out a BAS/ABS error which seems fine now. Doing that job I disconnected the battery and it's since then the brake lights are stuck on with ignition on. I also replaced the brake light switch at that time and remembered to pull out the plunger and fit it with the pedal down. I have a good scanner and it says B1048 Stored/Current...

2004 W211 install/upgrade Navigation add in console.

I just purchased an '04 E500 in amazing condition with 150K miles on it. It's a incredible car. I wanted to add into the oem system the navigation which I don't believe was in the car when it was purchased new. I did the research to locate all of the parts needed for the upgrade and purchased and installed them. I am getting a " device unavailable" when I attempt to open the Navigation every time now. Can anyone share what I may have missed? Thank you!

1960s / 70s Maybach

According to the Wikipedia page of Maybach " the company was mainly used to make special editions of Mercedes cars in the W108 and W116 model range, which were virtually hand built. These cars however carried the Mercedes badge and serial numbers.", However there is no other mention anywhere on the internet that this is true, does anyone know about this? If so, what differences are there with the Maybach produced versions?

Known Problems to Look For In A 2005 CLK500 Cabriolet?

I have owned a CLK430 for twelve years now but I am going to check out a 2005 CLK500 Convertible today as my car is showing its age at 190,000 trouble-free miles! It has 110,000 miles and they say it has always been garaged. As I am not familiar with this model, are there any known issues that I should check for? Are there any parts that are becoming obsolete that could become a problem? Any suggestions would be appreciated! Thank you! Mike

2009 G550

Hello. Not sure where to post this but I have a 2009 G550 that is giving me misfire on all driver side cylinders. I've swapped coils and plugs both new and with other side. I have even ran a straight pipe thinking it's a clogged cat. I have heard somewhere that it could be an ECU issue. Anyone else able to chime in or direct me would be appreciated.

E55 Non stagger tire set up

Had to replace a rear tire due to a side wall puncture and recalled reading on the owner's manual that you could use the same size tires front and rear in a snow tire scenario. Question if anyone has tried this, no necessarily in a winter situation, but just in an attempt to be able to rotate tires and get some longer life. I do not run the car hard. Thanks!
