Hi
My name is Ron and Iam from Australia and I always dreamed of an AMG and I managed to score a 2010 ML 63. I am loving it and smashing almost everything at the lights. There are some fast cars in this part of the world, but nothing could catch this baby yet.

Hi just joined this site and wonder if anyone can help with my problem..ok details of my car: 1995 W124 220 coupe auto




Now for my problem..for some reason Mercedes have an upshift delay valve , which simply means when the car is cold it will hold it in gear so the cat can warm up quicker, this works fine, however when it has reached normal tempereture and I turn the car off and on again it will hold in 2nd to 3rd and will only change up to 4th when I have reached 3500 revs or I downshift with the auto gear stick and imediately put it into drive again then it will shift into 4th..once its done this twice it will then run perfectly.. Also it will not start first time when cold once it has reached temp it will start first time on the button, it will also start first time even when it has dropped to 40deg temp only time it has problems starting first time is in the mornings when its left overnight.

I have rewired the deteriorated wiring soldered and heatshrink both for the harness and the wiring on the throttle body both were not that bad actually...I have purchased a new Mass sensor, a new upshift valve..a new 4 pin engine temp sensor< (ECT)..a new OEM OVP relay. I have pulled the vacuum pipe from the upshift valve and did a vacuum test and it does not hold the vacuum, however i did this when the car was hot so maybe I should try it when cold..based on this I am waiting for a modulator or regulator which fits on the outside of the gearbox and the vacuum pipe i mentioned goes from the upshift valve to this modulator..

I would like to know if anyone has a wiring diagram of the ECT 4 pin sensor and where exactly does each wire go to..I know wire 1 and 2 go to the large plug behind the battery, I have traced the other wires 3 and 4 which go to a box on the right inner wing as you face the car and when I removed the box cover it connects onto a plug and the wire from that plug goes behind the battery and through the firewall, but do not know where it goes to from there, perhaps to the gearbox?

The resistences from the ECT are all correct..




however I hope I have connected the new plug I purchased for the ECT correctly. as I discovered pin 1 is earth..pin 2 is live..and apparently pin 3 and 4 can go either way..I am getting 4.9v on pin 2 which is correct and 1v going back to computer from pin 3 or 4 not quiet sure now but the last pin is also showing 4.9v not sure why..although I have been told that the 4 pin ECT are two identical ones within one sensor so perhaps that one should show up to 5v.

There must be someone out there that can help me please pretty please

Thanks
Chas

Hello to the MB World community! What a great forum...I don't know how you could own a MB and not want to be part of this forum.

Please help! We have a 2007 C280 that we owned since 7K miles. It has been a great car with few exceptions. The electric fan, however, is got me scratching my head and I don't want to throw money at it to fix it.

Please direct me to the correct threads or place to start.

Thank you for your help! Troy

Hi, I have just had my first Merc and loving it. I do have a fault with the auto boot opening working intermittently, the No5 fuse in the boot blows which I believe is also connected to the alarm!!! Is this a common fault? Any suggestions for a remedy?

Hi I'm Dillon from the bay area in California. I've owned multiple Mercedes along with other cars. Currently own a 2000 E430 and 2012 GL450. Going for a used S65 AMG if my work goes well.
My question is how do I post a thread to the forums for people to answer and discuss?
Thanks
Dillon

Hello, my name is Ibrahim. I live in Windsor, Ontario. I have always liked Mercedes Benz since I was young and I was blessed enough to get a brand new 2013 C300 4MATIC Sport for my first car. I absolutely love it! I plan on doing some upgrades to it once the lease is finished. Until then, this place will provide me with ideas about what is possible

Hi, all. I'm George from London ON (Canada). Just bought my first - a pretty basic 2010 C250 4Matic. Mixed reaction - engineering amazing, a lot of pretty intuitive stuff, but some surprises like road noise (wrong tires?) and rough ride on some surfaces. I am too picky or what?

Love this forum as much as I love my new CLK320 - 2004.


Car is a dream to drive but I can see it takes a lot of love to own ($$).


This is my first benz and hopefully not my last, I don't want any other car manufacturer.

Very happy to have found this site. I am a newbie to these vehicles and now own a 1999 320 CLK Convertible, much much different from my Toyota Land Cruiser FJ40. looking forward to reading more learning and getting to know all of you MBworld members.

Hi,
I bought a 2010 ML350 (around 29K Miles). I think I got a good deal though time would tell ;-)
Its almost a month and enjoying driving the same. Good to be on this site for valuable information.

My husband, killerdisco, drives a 2004 S600. I think he may love it more than he does me. He just bought me a 2002 CL600. It is a dream to drive and I love it dearly but not nearly as much as I love Killer. I'll probably be asking more questions than he will. Susie

Recently purchased a pre-loved 2010 MB E350 Sport from the BMW dealer where I work, yes BMW dealer, and thus far after 2000 miles very happy with it. I do like BMWs but I have had more experience as an owner with Benz. I am very exited to join this wonderful site and hopefully share some pics very soon....I have soo many questions and need tips here and there. My wife took the car today to work, after it was detailed....by me. See ya'll. Alex!!!!
