2007 c230 sport
Hey all! This is Josh from Central Arkansas as a new member. 3 months ago I bought my first benz, an 07 c230 sport with 83k miles. Have always loved that body style! Since then I've looked at many threads on here and they've been very helpful! So I decided to make an account!

2002 ML320 W163
I bought one from a little old lady who no longer drives...
Boy, was that a mistake!
My name is Sam and I live in Klamath Falls, Oregon. I'm new to Mercedes but always wanted one so when I found a 2002 ML320 in Longview, WA, owned by a widow-lady too old to safely drive anymore, I couldn't get there fast enough. It is black, beautiful and like new with 135,000 miles. She hadn't driven much in the past five years so the soft tapping sound I heard, when I test-drove it, didn't concern me much. After all, she had just replaced four catalytic converters, at a ridiculous cost, so I concluded that it was a lifter that was not up to pressure, but as I proudly zoomed around, the tapping became louder.
After about a month, I sought the advice of an independent foreign car mechanic. After listening to the engine and my story, he suggested adding Rislone until my appointment date two weeks later. He spent a couple days ruling out things like the timing chain, cam followers and everything else but piston slap. He finally asked if I would let him pull the thing out and flip it over for a peek. I agreed.
The cylinder walls were scored along the left bank where the tapping was heard. Along the right bank were the beginnings of scarring too.
Fast-forward to today. I have a beautiful ML320 in my driveway and an engine that, by all accounts, has been very well cared for sitting at my mechanic's shop waiting to hear its fate.
Originally, I found MBWorld while I was trying to determine what the tapping could be but now I've joined the forum to ask your advice.
In your opinion, what should I do?
Thanks,
Sam

Hi, lots of great info here.
I'm looking to buy 2017 GLS 450 and GLC 300 Coupe
These dealers saying they sell at MSRP or one gave me 2% off the mls.
Any tips? Even used ones with 10k miles they almost price as new, it's crazy.
Thanks

Well, just like NPR, long time user, first time contributor.
My wife and I have been using this site as our primary source for Mercedes info since acquiring our vehicles around 2013. I have now decided to finally register.
I fully intend to become a contributing member, within the scope of my ability, (which is still very low ). That said, thank you all for providing such an amazing resource, and I look forward to growing more versed and competent as a DIY, as well as a having an opportunity to personally interact with the group.
Thanks again!

2003 cl55 AMG
Hello to all fellow MBWorld members. I am new to this forum but owned a CL55 AMG for about 7 years before the hydraulic suspension started causing problems and decided it was time to move on. I just bought an 87 560 SL mainly because it has no hydraulic suspension and it seems from my research that the 560 SL is a fairly reliable car and hopefully won't keep me broke with repairs. I hope to be able to share my experiences with my past Benz and my current car to help other members thinking of owning the same car.
I'm Kain. I have owned a 03 cl55 AMG for about almost a year. It's at 115,xxx and I've replaced a coolant leak and a strut in the back that needed to be replaced. Around what milage does the hydraulic suspension start giving out? I've noticed my CL is a bit higher then usual. And if you know about any more issues with the car would really help! Thanks.

2003 cl55 AMG
Hello Everyone.
I am new to this and
have owned a 2003 cl55 AMG for about a year and im in love. Haven't really had any mechanical issues besides a coolant leak and a strut that needed to be replaced. I'm looking to get some bigger tires. What my wheel size is now 245/45/18 is it possible to go 255/50/18 or maybe even 265?

1998 SL600 and parts looking for a home
Used a perfectly good '98 SL600 for a father/son project - entered the car in to the Houston 24 hours of LeMons Race.
49,317 miles. Roll cage. Head gasket and radiator issues at start of 2nd race. Have moved on to a car that's easier to fix for both of us! Lots of parts available, including original side windows, light assembly units, motors for soft/hard top, etc etc.
Looking for a home or good use of the parts so.

2008 Yukon Denali
Hello!
Hello /////MBWorld!
Mercedes is one of my favourite makes and I'm hoping to grab myself a cool toy this summer. Looking towards a R230 SL55 AMG for the summer time as I have an 08 Yukon Denali as my daily. Will keep both, and here's pictures of what I have and what I want.
Thanks!

Hi im Andrew from Minnesota, just bought a 2013 c300 sport a couple weeks ago.
I do have a question though, when I was test driving other c300 sports some of the exhausts sounded way better then mine (like a low growl) and they were all stock from the dealer. Does anyone know if I could order the same type of exhaust? I was talking to the parts guy at the MB dealership where I bought my car from and he was not sure if a different exhaust would fit (not sure why).
The reason I wanted one from MB and have them install it is to keep my warrenty on the car which he said he would check into and get back to me. Has anyone done this and know what kind I should ask him to look into? Sorry if this is a stupid question, but I have not had much luck searching online.
Thanks in advance for your replys!

Hi all. Bought a 2007 GL500 X164 6 months ago. Then had 126000Km on it - now 148000Km. My first MB. Amazing vehicle. Have replaced all brake rotors with slotted units, done two engine oil changes (with filters) plus air and cabin filters. Everything works! Cheers, Ed.

Hello, a new member here. We just ordered - we hope - a new GLE 43 SUV. Dealer says he was/will be able to procure a build spot for the last of the 2017 builds... We should be able to confirm next week. Dealer stated a June delivery.

R350 2007 and C300 2012
Hello, I am Gilbert and I currently own 2 MBs
2007 R350 in silver
2012 C300 in black.
I am having issue with my R350 though. The battery picture is ON in the message screen. It will turn OFF after driving an hour or more but it will comeback the next day. Do you know if it is related to the auxiliary or main battery?
