My brother bought a 1998 MB and he has problem with entering code to stereo.
Code has 5 digits and the first is 8. Radio has only 6 buttons with digits.
How can he enter digit 8?

Can anybody help. My vehicle always cuts out when it reached operating
temperature only to restart again after coolant temp drops to about 40
celcius. The ignition pack has ben changed. Is there a relay or
tempeature sender unit anywhere sending the wrong signal??

I need to replace the oxygen sensor before the cat, is it actually located
in the exhaust just before the cat or should I look elsewhere?
Thanks,

I took it to an independant and they charged 172 US to get codes with a
scanner. Here is what they note:
#P0132 Oxygen Sensor voltage not to lean. Tested Sensors, they tested slow.
Also show codes:

My 380sl just failed inspection because a couple of the tie rod ends
and drag link had an excessive amount of play. So i was thinking about
replacing  both tie rods, rather than just the ends, and the drag
link.

I've always loved the Mercedes SL series cars.
Recently an 83 380SL has come up for sale by me.  It's black/gray with
125,000 miles. Looks very clean in the pictures i've seen.  Having never
owned an old Merc before, would this be a car I could use everyday? When I

I have to put a new engine in my 1993 190E 2.6 automatic.  (This is a
U.S. car.) Someone suggested that I put a 3.0 in place of the original
2.6.  Given that they are essentially the same engine, the suggestion
didn't sound bad.

I have a Mercedes Benz S500 year 2000.
One day when I tried to turn on the cruise control, it did not work.
I tried all sorts of positions the cruise handle could go but it did
not work

I've got to put some new winter tires on my 190E .... it uses 185/65/15
tires .... however, been thinking of using 195/65/15 because these will also
be good on my 300E in future.... will the slightly wider tires be OK on the
190E?  or would the slightly narrower tires be better on ...

Thanks for taking the time to read this.
I have a 89 560SEL that has failed the my air emissions. Before i pay
for a new catalytic converter (What a SHOCK on the COST of a NEW CAT) is
there anything i should take a look for on the benz to see if it has

Battery light comes intermittently on when i turn my head lights on.
Battery light intensity increases with rpm.
Contacts on voltage regulator are 50%.

Can the glow plug relay become partially defective, or is an all or
none type of part?
I could not get my '82 300 TDT to start.  I replaced the battery and
the glow plugs and it was still starting hard.  I noticed that if I

Happy with how well the job went for me. Was a little
apprehensive...not knowing what to expect. Rotors were pretty worn
down..close to 10 mm minimums (87K miles) so decided to install new
rotors. Also decided on new bearings (inside and outside)...the outside

I was just wondering if any oil siphon systems, like the Topsider or
LiquidVac, can get the oil out of the filter cannister on a 380sl. Or
will i still have that potential mess to deal with.
Thanks
