Hi,
George in Scotland. First MB is a 2008 ML320 Edition 10... Happy days - 79,000 miles, needed a few things - all done now and looking and driving great. Pic already posted in gallery.
Hello everyone. I’m from Philadelphia and I’m going in tomorrow to order my first MB. I figured I would jump on the forum and get some last minute advice from MB owners.
Hello MBWorld and Members!
I've lurked over the years getting/using info for repairs and fixes from various sites and today came upon the site again while searching fixes for the 2006 SLK350, P0015 & P0355 engine codes. Our family ordered this vehicle brand new with the signature package or something custom ordered and it is still a runner at over 144K miles. Car still runs strong and nothing I really notice but have to fix the codes to get smoged and receive my sticker for 2019.The vehicle has been sitting for 2 years not getting any love.
I stumbled upon this post P0012 - Camshaft Position - Timing Over-Retarded (Bank 1)
which is very informative and helpful, I'll post in that thread when I fix my 350.

Hey Guys!
My name is Tanmay and I have just joined the forum. I am considering to buy a classic mercedes but need some advice before i make a deal as I wish
to make sure I am getting myself a good one.
I am considering the following
1) W126 300SE 1987 with 364000kms ( 226k miles)on it; priced at 2500USD. The owner says its got a leaky engine sump and noise from front pulley area which goes away
when steering is used. However, he adds he had this issue form 10 years and hasn't bothered fixing. Is it a cheap fix or would it cost me $$$.
2) W123 230 1978 with 484000kms(300k miles) on it; priced at 3500USD. This one is pretty neat and tidy with a new cylinder head. Its got very slight rust on rear right
wheel arch but it's in very pristine condition.
3) W123 300D 1981 with 401000kms ( 250k miles) on it; priced at 5500USD. This ones in pristine condition except the transmission has a soft clunk when going from 2 to 3

Hello My Name is Rick, Glad to be apart of this forum and hope that i can get the help i need to get my wifes car fixed !
Hello, my name is Eric and I am from Cincinnati, Ohio. I recently purchased a 2015 C300 in black with Black interior. I absolutely love this car and look forward to joining this forum of Benz owners!
Hi all, new owner of a 1986 560SEL, 62,400 (or so) miles. My wife has wanted a mercedes since shortly after we married 45 years ago, I figured it's time! She wanted an SL but as we are getting a little long in the tooth and she has age appropriate knee, shoulder and other issues, we figured to give up on that dream and go with the comfort of a sedan. I have a '59 TR3, '72 Stag and '80 TR8, so we didn't need another sports car.
Looking forward to reading some info about the specs and options, I can't seem to find a lot of info on the why's and wherefore's of how some things work. I am a shade tree mechanic and would like to do some of the work, but I have to figure out what makes things go 'round in this baby.
Hey guys, I'm Jermaine. I drive an s550 w221. Enjoy saving money buy doing things for my car on my own but the satisfaction of a job well done sometimes become mentally and emotionally costly lol. I have a star c4 diagnosis tool that I used to solve a problem that the dealer completely miss diagnosed and now I hooked for better or worse. So talk to you guys soon!
First, it should be noted that I would never imagine having to write this. I am a medical director and have no hidden agenda by conveying this information; however, I must... I have NEVER been more dissatisfied with a product. I thought I was an AMG driver for life; however, since leasing my 2018 E63 SL AMG, the car has been a disaster! My radiator has literally "blown-up" on 3 separate occasions. Each time, the car was in the shop for over a month. Constantly told "radiator is on back order" which makes me think I am not the only one to have experienced this problem. Always occurs when driving on highway and somehow run over some small object (causing no damage to exterior of car); then "check coolant/engine" light comes on and within minutes car shuts down. Now, most recently, my car was determined to be a Total loss from Progressive insurance after something kicked-up on highway through driver/rear tire - did so much damage to undercarriage that car was totaled. To clarify, NO external damage to car. I am convinced there is a flaw with this year/model. Prior to this car, I drove a 2016 E63 SL AMG and never had a problem. Mercedes cut weight between models in attempt to make faster and in the process removed the previously placed protection to underside/undercarriage. The final conclusion of an independent investigation conducted by Progressive Insurance was that "Mercedes made a horrible car never intended to drive on California's highways". I have also never been treated in such a horrendous matter as by AMG/Mercedes Customer Service/Executive Care team. Please share similar issues with this year/model.
My name is
Bill Wells from Smithfield,NC I traded a Porsche Cayman S for a 2013 MB Sl 550. Have been in love with car for a while and got tired of the Porsche. Have enjoyed using this forum.

Hi just purchased this little gem this spring. A 1996 C250 Tdiesel model. Got 6 months on now. Starts @ -20C with no block heater but just installed oil pan heater and have inline heater on its way. Great little car so far. Few little issues but nothing that can't be done myself so far. It had 229,000 kms on odo when i got it. Not much rust on it. on its way to a new home after being parked 2 years
Prior owner had it shipped over from Germany as these were not sold originally in Canada. I'll drive it for a while and get the bugs out before i give it fresh paint.
