#957 of 1094 E 430 4-matic issue by mario19 Aug 19, 2007 (10:04 am)
hello guys, i Have been through all this pages, and the more I read the more confused I get. Just bought a E 430 a week ago, and I am so upset. Yesterday the car shut off while I was on a red light, without a warning or nothing. I tried to start it I couldn't, than after some time the car did start, but I had the "Check engine" on. I noticed a bit of vibrating on the car, while on "P" gear. The next morning the car started normally, but the RPM while the car is on "P" gear, is very high, 10-15 Rpm. I have no clue wat this is, the car has 41k miles on it. Not sure if its a battery problem, or a alternator problem. Anyone had the same issue with a E-Class?

Replying to: mario19 (Aug 19, 2007 10:04 am) To begin with there is no P gear. P is Park...no gears involved. Next--- it is normal for a higher RPM when the car is started cold. This is to get the car warm so that emmissions will be lower. Car should return to normal low RPM within a minute or so after starting.

#960 of 1094 e320 breaking issues by los292 Aug 28, 2007 (9:41 am)
i have a 98 e320 with 52,000 miles on it i have experienced at times when i hit the break ( not necesarily hard ) when i m going anywhere from very slow 10 miles and hour to sometimes slowing down coming up to a traffic light 30 miles and hour or so ) the car lurching foward very quickly has the sensation of slamming the breaks and maybe the abs locking up it happened about a year ago more than once so i got it looked at and the mb dealer said it had something to do with the rear tranny memory to the anti lock breaks something like that they fixed it several hundred $$ later .. a few months after that it happened again i brought it back and they couldn't find anything wrong with it didn't happen when they tested it again this happens very infrequently and it it not when i am necessarily going fast or on slippery pavement any thoughts ? pete
#961 of 1094 Mercedes vs. Prestone Anti Freeze by jodar96 Oct 08, 2007 (6:25 pm)
I just changed the anti freeze in my 2001 E430 with 90K miles. The MB coolant has such a faint pink color to it, it is hard to see in the expansion tank where the level is.   Does any one really think that the engine/gaskets will be damaged if the system is completely is flushed out of MB coolant, and latest version of Prestone coolant is used?   I have a very tough time believing that every car maker out there must have their own coolant. The cost difference is like $12 a gallon. The money is not the issue, I don't care for the MB's clear color.   Joe Replies to this message: pfenton (Oct 09, 2007 11:33 am) greasykid1 (May 19, 2007 5:52 am)

Replying to: jodar96 (Oct 08, 2007 6:25 pm) I have owned three MB vehicles over the years and I was informed never to use the regular antifreeze as it doesn't meet MB specs and contain the necessary anti-corrosives and ph neutrality that MB coolant does......Is this true? I have no idea, but I don't care to take the risk! Good luck!
#963 of 1094 1992 300E upgrades for headlights & radio by heywood1 Oct 11, 2007 (5:54 pm)
I just inherited my mother's '92 300E. A really nice--and very gently used--car with only 68,000 miles.   I've always been a Mercedes fan-- especially back when these cars were built to a standard, rather than to a price.   But can anyone offer suggestions for upgrading the radio and the headlights for a pre-facelifted W124? (The headlights are dim, and the radio has poor sound, lousy ergonomics, and no CD player).   I would appreciate any recommendations for aftermarket products and/or potential replacement pitfalls.   PS: Does anyone read this forum? Seriously, there are still tens of thousands of these cars on the road....
#964 of 1094 E320 parts - cupholder by zeen Oct 14, 2007 (9:22 am)
The crappy plastic cupholder assembly in my center console is not working on my 2003 E320. I was able to remove it but hate to pay the outrageous cost that the dealer charges for a new one. Are there any sellers of Mercedes parts for this kind of item? The MB parts places I found on the net don't carry this kind of item. Any ideas would be appreciated.
