I'm a w211 E280 owner. But actually here for in-depth technical hints and info on w213 , as my customer is working on a project with those cars.
I'm particularly interested in CAN database info, so I can analyse messages with my PC CAN tools. I don't mean ODB readers, I'm used to in-depth CAN development and want to see the actual de-coded CAN traffic. I'll have a hunt in the forums and post in relevant ones,
Hello everyone.
I'm a first time MB owner, and, I've bought a 220CDI from 2006,automatic gearbox, with only 74k miles.
The problem is that, being a BMW fan for a while, I don't know much about MB, so, I have a problem with my gearbox.
In the morning,a have a push from the 1st to 2nd gear,that last until the engine reaches around 70 degrees, after that, it changes smoothly.
The second problem is that it changes the 3rd gear after 2600-2700 RPMs, that I don't think it's normal, it's not on S mode, is on C.
The third problem is that once the engine is at 90 degrees, in the 2nd gear, it mumbles,lime its chocking, like its going under RPM.
Now, I've read about the Valeo rad problems, with glycol in the transmission fuel,that this might be the problem, but, I know that it can be from the gearbox fluid level as well, or, never been changed.
The plan is that, I've bought gear fluid, filter, gasket, and, also, the control unit, that is after market, not MB original.
What is the advise from anyone that might had this problem?
Thank you for you support, and, I respect the knowledge that you all have.

Thanks!

Welcome to MBWorld! Great looking CLS you have. I just love the profile of this M-B in particular. Posting a new thread in the AMG forum would be a good idea. All the best with it

Hey guys, I'm Adam from South eastern PA. I just picked up my first Mercedes it's a 2002 C230k manual coupe. So far I love it. I mainly drive VWs and Audi's so I'm somewhat familiar with the euro car aspect but sure I have alot to learn about these cars.
Are those headlights cloudy/yellowed? I believe these models were highly prone to yellowing of the headlights. If so, it’s an easy fix, of course. Best of luck!
Greetings from Seattle! Introducing my 2010 MB GL550
Hi and thanks for having me! I recently acquired this beautiful 2010 GL550 X164 with 84k miles in metallic grey and I LOVE IT! It puts a smile on my face once again having once owned a 1986 190E 2.3 16v AMG in my early 20s. I decided to free up some finance when I started a family and sold her. Oh boy, do I regret it to this day!
Anyway, I chose the X164 body over the X166 as the round, curvier body just isn't my cup of tea. Everything on this X164 works! The Carfax shows all maintenance completed on time and done only at the MB dealerships. It is in immaculate condition for its age with minor wear in the usual places. The only thing missing is the remote and headphones for the entertainment system. The wife drives an X5 and once she drove the MB she pleaded to swap cars. I love her but "no, sweetheart!" You will notice the cargo box on top as we are taking her out for a camping trip.
Here are some photos I took first thing this morning at 6 am. Thank you for indulging me.
All the best,
Pory from the beautiful Pacific Northwest
Welcome to MBWorld Pory! Thanks for the intro and sharing the photo. Your GL looks great. It’s hard to believe that it’s 10 yo. It looks in fantastic condition. All the best with it
@MBpippo Thank you for the warm welcome! I knew I wanted the model and I was patient and took my time waiting for the right one to come along. I am learning a lot from everyone is on this site. Thank you to all the contributors out there.
p.s. If anyone is curious about the last photo in the background, look past the boats and you'll see the tails sticking up in the air, they are all the new 737 Max planes parked waiting for FAA to clear to deliver. Sad. There are literally over 75 planes just in this lot alone.
Hello I am new owner for Mercedes, this would be my first German Cars. Earlier all Japanese. Love the MB amazing compared to my previous one. I just wish it has Manual Transmission.
