I was in the market for the MB C240/320 and the BMW 325/330i and recently
went to both dealerships and test drove each car.  First the BMW, and second
the Mercedes Benz.
When I walked into the MB dealership I had an appointment with a sales

I have been looking at the Starmarked C-Class and E-Class models
online. Many list an Optional Feature, however for years 1998-2003, I
can't find a list of exactly what these Optional Features mean. Here
is an example of some things I see listed for the Starmarked C-Class:

Is there a way to obtain the code or read out the reason for, the "check
engine" light???

My wife recently purchased a used (2001) SLK 230.  She is quite enjoying it,
as am I, although I seem to be the designated mechanical specialist, based
on chromosonal content alone.
In reading the manual, I noticed that the "Canadian" version of this car

This is an 86 420SEL with the following mysterious electrical
symptoms. Sometimes stepping on the brake pedal kills the running
engine. I just experienced today that flipping the turn signals also
stops the car. It seems like the above actions would "sometimes" shut

Hello all i want to sell my Mecedes Benz Car. Here is some details.
1956 MERCEDES BENZ 300 SL 'GULLWING' COUPE,
SILVER WITH BLACK LEATHER INTERIOR,
SUPERB ORIGINAL CAR,

Just a follow-up on our leaking '00 CL500 and our dealer's inability to
find the problem in spite of the fact they replaced almost everything
that could possibly leak under the original factory warranty without
changing the leak whatsoever.

Finally did it -- had a tour of the factory where the CLK Cabrio is
assembled.  Quite impressive, but not same as Merc itself (it makes 'only'
100 000 cars p.a. of all types).
They have a nice museum, of which I was given a private tour.  There was a

Anyone have a bad experience with 1SourceAutoWarranty.com Car Extended
Warranty? Right from the beginning I've had problems with them. I took my
car to the dealer and 1Source refused to pay what the dealer was asking for
the price for the starter and labor so I had to pay the ...

I have a 1975 300D (W115 body) in need of an oil cooler.  Besides being
rather rusty, it has a wet spot near the bottom third of the cooler.  
Can these be fixed or can a good used one be found? The dealer wants me
to put their kids through college with the prices they post.   Any ...

Does anyone know where I can get an air filter for a 1991 190e in the LA
area? All the auto parts places I've tried (pepboys, kragen, autozone, plus
other independents) don't seem to carry it.  Any ideas..other then the
dealer?

I installed a replacement OEM Becker radio in my 300D (the replacement
Becker came from an '87 190E).  There is one blue wire that comes out
of the radio that doesn't seem to have a mate on the car side.  This
wire is light blue and is seperate but located right next to the

My friend has a 1982 300sd.  The car's great, except that the gauges
fluctuate wildly.  Sometiems they work, other times they swing all
over the place.  Also, the dash lights and radio do not work.  Could
this be a ground problem?  If so, how do we check?  Where is the

Hi everybody. I have a 79 300CD that leaks oil onto the inside. I thought it
was a filler cap so I bought a new one which stopped that seepage, but it
still happens. It seems to come from the key/ignition part and drops down
onto the brake pedal, ruined several pair of shoes/boots. ...

Greetings all.
The drivers door on my 95 S320 no longer closes itself with the power
close assist system that still works on the other 3 doors and trunk
lid.
