| 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 | |

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

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.... |

| 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. | |
