On the way into work I got this 1-second tone of about 1KHz.
It interrupted my Petula Clark tape!  (Tape didn't stop running.)
Anyone heard that sound before?

My right rear side light went out ( 1994 E320 ).  After checking the
bulb and fuses I had the dealer fix it for a few hundred dollars.  They
said a circuit board needed to be replaced when that light goes out.
Two years later the light is out again.  The bulb is fine - works in

When the car has not been used for a few days , when starting up the engine
sounds like a diesel (there is a knock) .The engine takes a few minutes
before it starts to run normally and the noise disappears. Should I suspect
a worn oil pump not pushing the oil through the engine ...

I'm driving a 1989 300E. My right headlight is not functioning on low beam.
However it works at the high beam setting.
I've switched the bulbs from left to right, and it clearly is not a problem
with the bulb.  Any well known problems with the switches, wiring or

my 91 190E makes a ticking or clicking sound underneath when moving in
drive...but with throttle ingaged nothing. anyone have a clue?  

Hello Fellow MB owners.
I have recently purchased a 2000 C230 with 100,000 Km on the car.
I do my own maintenance on my cars and would like to know what the weak
point are on this car.

I have purchased two sets of Mercedes brake pads for my ML430 (year 2000)
and they both squeaked horribly...  So this time, I went to O'Reilly's
Auto Parts and bought a set of Wagoner pads which have a lifetime warranty
and are supposed to be super quiet.  The front left pad screams ...

Just making sure you know what my issue is, I posted it on another thread
but here is my orig question:

I have a similar prob with my 92 190e, 2.3 L sedan. When I turn the

Weird problem. The two gears that mesh to raise my windows (front
right and left) seem to be not lined up and slip when trying to put
the windows up. It’s hard to see why they are off-kilter. Do one or
the other warp or bend with age? I have a 1980 300sd. Any

Over the past two years I have forward/reverse flushed my heater core
and have seen improvement in my cabin heat.  The only problem is that I
have to forward/reverse flush my heater core every couple of months.
Do I need a new heater core?  Does it need to be professionally

Have a recent problem with W126 .. battery seemed weak ( 5 yr old ) so
replaced with new. Car sat for 4 days without being driven and get in it to
start... dead as a duck. Same thing has happened three times now.. if car
sits for longer than a day. I removed the positive cable ...

I have put mine away for the winter - but when I go to start it up after
about a week it there is a knock like a diesel and it takes a few minutes
before it will run smoothly. After that there is no noise.  Is this a sign
of maybe a worn oil pump not pushing the oil up quickly ...

It s a 1985 300 SD.     The upper/fwd bolt securing the LH front brake
caliper to the wheel broke when pads were being replaced. It was
frozen and I forced it too much. Big mistake! I think that part that
the shank of the bolt is lodged inside (that the caliper bolts to) is

What 1980's model w107 would best accommodate an OM617 turbo engine or are they all the same?

I finally purchased the 300SD Turbo Diesel in an early post I made. It
was actually a 1981 instead of 1982 as mentioned before.  I already had
the chance to drive it from the flat lands of South Jersey up to
Luzerne County, PA, where the elevation is a lot higher.  The car
