Bob, I just read your comments re cracked rims. I have a 2006 E500 with 18" sport rims. 3 weeks ago, the rim cracked and of course, by the time I realized anything, a tire was also ruined. At the MB dealership, I paid, rim $500, tire $352. I replaced them, and yesterday I noticed air loss on another tire. Upon closer examination, I found that rim was also cracked. Please tell me what you have found out so far; satisfaction; etc. etc.

Hello, I just purchased a 1995 s600 and have a few questions. When I first started driving the car I had no problems at all, after washing it I noticed the ASR and the ABS lights were coming on. After restarting the vehicle the lights would turn off. Now this is constaant. I removed and cleaned the front speed sensors and the problem has not gone away. The bolts holdding the rear sensors are rusted and I cacn't tell if the bolts are a 5mm hex or a star bit. Does anyone have any suggestions. Sorry for rambling. Thank you.

How bad are the Airmatic issues in the 05-06 S's? by dandg

Happy Lexus owner (wife has a RX and its been great!) looking at used, low miles (20-35K) MB's (both the E350 and S430's)
Thinking of taking the leap to a MB as I like the look better then the GS and LS.I was toying with a S but the Airmatic issues so I concentrated on the E350 's(both 06 and 07's CPO's) but was very dissapointed to find them with vinyl ("MB tex") unless they have the less common leather option (about 1500).No way I would buy a luxury car with taxi cab seats no matter how the "sell" it("last longer","can't tell the diffence"),so I am back to the S's (05- 06's)
In the 05-06's how bad are the troublesome airmatic issues and what other problems should I expect?
thanks

I have both: 2003 S-430 4-Matic and 2007 E-350 4-Matic wagon.
 
The first version of air matic had issues. The newer one with with ADS II has been problem free for me in 6 years. It is also the best suspension system I have ever had including a Lexus LS.
 
The E class gets the Airmatic in the V-8 models at a $10k premium.
 
I need the 4-Matic as it has saved my ass so many times on snow and ice.
I left Lexus for that and other reasons.
 
If you bye an '05 or newer you will have plenty of warranty left to help with your concerns.

1996 mercedes benz S420. I left my lights, on so of course my battery died. Jumped the car, but the trunk will not lock now. It should latch upon contact with the trunk as the doors does, not happening?? The light on the switch inside the car that disengage the trunk will not go off, meaning the trunk lock will always be in the open posistion?? Also I bought the car used 8 years ago, therefore I do not have the code for the radio? HELP!!!!!

Airmatic problem when it gets cold by samer
Nov 10, 2008 (7:15 pm)

I have an 04 S500 4matic. I've had it for a little over a year. When the temperature started getting cold, 32 or so, the Airmatic message came on. This also happened last year. I was lazy and didn't take it to the dealer right away. When I took it to the dealer, he couldn't get a code or find any problems. It is starting to happen again. I have set an appointment for it. I am trying to get some information to see if I can make any suggestions to the dealer. Any assistance would be greatly appreciated. Thank you.

S600 Oil Filter Change by rmbaker47
Jan 11, 2009 (9:27 pm)

A mechanical question for owners of the V12 motor. I am changing my oil and filter on my 1995 S600 Sedan for the first time and am embarrassed to admit I cannot find the oil filter element canister to replace the oil filter? Can anyone help me with the location?, Do I service it best working from the top or bottom of the motor?, Any tips to minimize oil spillage?, Is there more than just replacing the filter element and the O ring - like cleaning any screens?
 
Thanks in advance for your help,
Mike
