2010 GL 350 Bluetec
New Member saying "Hello!
Hi Everyone,
I'm Frank and we live in Whistler, BC. I recently wanted to change vehicles and found a 2010 MB GL350 Bluetec that only had 48,000 kms on the clock, very much in like-new condition, so I bought. We really do use our vehicles as "utility vehicles" so I rarely sparing for a new car owing to how I know it is going to be used. I have now owned the car for about three weeks and have already put 2,000 kms on it travelling up and down between Whistler and Vancouver. It has been very nice so far, though today after a short drive I found the main cooling fan staying on after I shut it down. I was outside and the temperature was just about 1C. When I drove it home it happened again and as I came into the garage it smelled hot, though the engine temp gauge was only reading about 90C, but it smelled hot and again the main fan stayed on for about 5 minutes. Coolant levels were okay and the coolant in the expansion tank was warm, sop definitely it was traveling through the engine. Today is the first day this has happened so I will probably call MB tomorrow. If it is overheating, not sure how I will get it to Vancouver. Rats! Anyway, here I am and I look forward to sharing experiences with my fellow MB owners.
Cheers to all,
Frank

2020 C63s AMG
New member
Hello! I’m Alan and I just joined. I placed an order for a 2020 C63s sedan in October and now I’m in the waiting game until sometime in March. This will be my first Mercedes.
No pictures (obviously) but I’m getting mine in polar white with the night package and matte black cross spoke wheels.
It’s going to be a long wait but well worth it in the end.

2013 MB sl550
Hi Ed, I have a 2013 SL 550. The engine light keeps turning on about every three to four months. I have it checked and it is different numbers. Within a couple of days the light goes out.
My mechanic says to ignore it. What do you say?

Have you had it checked by a mb certified tech, I have heard something like this before and it happened to be the ECU itself was running into problems.

I'm new to this and I created this profile in hopes I can have some help here if ever needed. Like RIGHT NOW!!!! lol... I got one question if I can get an answer without sarcasm. I Have the manual to my 2006 E350 4matic mercedes but I'm trying to figure this out without paying the dealership anything if i dont need to but im confused on why I have a phone button on the steering wheel and dial pad on my dash but phone doesn't work! My satellite and navigation work perfectly but i cant seem to sync my iPhone. Am I missing something? And I got an mbrace mercedes app wondering if I can use it and how? Can I get some help without anyone telling me to search the thread!? Thanks.

S600
Hi From New Mexico
Hi Everyone,
My name is Tom and just bought my first Mercedes Benz which is a 1997 S600. I saw it listed on Craig’s list for 1500 dollars.
I looked at it and it was a bit rough and the sun roof had been broken a couple of days before I saw it. I was torn and really not sure I wanted this project. I though about it over the next couple of days, and went to see it again. I offered 900 dollars and I told the seller that I want to use my scan tool before committing to buy. It showed a secondary air something error, and I backed out. However I just could not get that V12 out of my mind. I thought I would send another offer over of 700 dollars and the seller agreed. I asked why did they want to sell at half the asking price, and was told the car was going to get destroyed where it was at. It is now safe in my garage with a drip pan under the engine, it seem to a bit of oil on the cross member so I will have to figure that out. I have also have a replacement sun roof glass along with service manuals on the way to figure out how to get it the replacement in.
I am looking forward to tapping into the wealth of knowledge in this group.

i am having a problem with the sensors that keep beeping all the time, in particular on hot days they will start to beep for no reason with no other cars near.
if anyone else has had this problem and know how to fix it please let me know.
