Hey what’s up, My name is Lu. I go by Dollah and I just recently bought a MB C43 AMG. I’m on here to get some questions answered and be a part of the MB community.
Hey all!
My wife and I are in the process of buying a 2007 G55... it's her "must have" car.
It has 76K miles and seems to run great when we test drove it.
I've attached links to two pictures that concern us about the front axel.... maybe it's not a big deal but we don't really know either.
It is supposed to go into the shop at Mercedes for a pre-purchase inspection but I was wondering about experiences from the group to compare to what the "experts" have to say.
Thanks and we are really looking forward to owning this G55. Will post pictures if everything checks out

that looks like an axle drive leak but can't be sure. It's not that expensive fix and they should see it during inspection as that's obvious and no that's not normal so yes get it sorted b4 you even give them an offer

What are the symptoms of a bad drive axle?
The symptoms of a drive axle leak are very clear. For straight axle vehicles, the backing plate for the brakes will have fluid draining on, or from behind it. If the leak has entered the drum brake assembly, the brakes may not function with the expected amount of stopping force. Leaks may also develop from the bottom of the differential cover, or input shaft seal. Both of those leaks will develop a drop from the bottom of the differential housing. For CV axles, the leak is easy to spot, as axle grease will coat everything around the torn boot. If the transmission or differential output seal is leaking, the axles may sling that fluid around the wheel wheel and undercarriage while driving.
Can I drive with a bad drive axle?
Driving with an axle leak is not particularly dangerous or hazardous to the vehicle, except in the case that the brakes are not performing properly due to fluid contamination. Vehicles with braking issues should not be driven. Concern should be taken for how long a component has been leaking. If the leak has continued long enough, the leaking component may be in danger of mechanical failure. If any mechanical noises are heard from the transmission or differentials, the vehicle should be inspected as soon as possible.
Make sure they check your front differential please let me know what the issue was a i like keeping track issues

I am Paweł from Poland. That's a pity we are welcome in this hard for Ukrainian country times, but I hope this situation will end soon.
I have 2004r w211 E320CDI Sedan car, with some troubles, as all of them probably. In my country it's popular if you have any issue with your car all the "specialists" are sending you for the SD 😜. I believe, most of the issues are possible to be fixed when you are determinated and you have a basic set of the tools. Hope I will find the way how to fix my rear SAM module and some other problems (but they are tiny in the comparison of battery drain). Nice to meet you all!! 😁
Hello. I’m Amber in the Valley of the Sun(that’s Phoenix for the nonAz natives). Just found this site and I’m super excited. I do most of my own work on my cars and MB has certainly been a learning curve for me. So thank you to all those with more knowledge sharing the wealth for those of us that live in a Jetta world but can’t live without MB.

Greetings from a new member in New Zealand. As a long time lurker, I finally joined the folds and thought I'd say hello to all.
As a 2006 ML500 owner these past four years, I am finally upgrading her with an M156 powered W212, I just need to find the right one as it'll be a cherished occasional ride and a long term investment.
No doubt I'll see some of you over in the E63 forum in the not too distant future.
Cheers,
Graham

Hello all.
Postdude20 here from southern Indiana, USA. Bought wife a 2017 GLC 300 4 matic last summer and we love it. I was reading some of the other threads, and have a question, what does CPO mean?

I’m Richard from Maumee, Ohio. I bought a 2003 Kompressor Coupe in excellent condition with only 85k miles on it. Black coupe. My only issues are related to the radio
which is original equipment and does not work. The unit doesn’t have slots to remove the radio so I need to learn how to access the mounting screws.

Hi Richard and welcome to MBWorld. Try your radio issue in the 2003 C-Class forum, where other members with your model should be able to help you. All the best 👍
Hello all! I'm new here but not new to the forums or the car world. I'm usually a BMW guy but just got possession of my father-in-law's 2017 E400 wagon but wife wants me to sell it!
Greetings all! I just picked up my GLB 250 this afternoon. So far, I love it. I stumbled across this forum this evening and figure this will be a great way to keep informed.
Last month I bought my first Merc. A 2017 E 400 4matic coupe with 17k miles. I am in love. This car is fantastic and everything I hoped it would be. I caught the MB bug when I took a trip to Florida and rented an AMG C63 S. That thing was bonkers. But it didn't matter. I had to have a 2 door Merc. Looking forward to what this group has to share.
