Ever wondered how the Mercedes-Benz Model naming system works? The number usually is the interior volume of all cylinders combined. 550 = 5.5 liter= cubic centimeter, 180 = 1.8 liter, 220 = 2.2 liter, AMG 2 digits 43 = 4.3 liter, 63 = 6.3 liter and so on. Sadly, on some recent models the number the model lettering is kept while number of cylinders and volume (hubraum) is reduced and turbos are added for same power output.

Hi all, Just got myself a very nice European 1984 500SL. Would someone happen to have the (PDF) owner's manual they'd be willing to share? Thanks all, Marc.

Hi everyone, my 2001 ML320 has always bothered me with the somewhat notchy gas pedal. Makes what should be smooth changes in throttle input abrupt, and not accurate. Upon researching, it seems many people also have this issue, and have had it since new. Most people recommend stretching or removing the helper spring in the engine bay, but you get a very light pedal by doing this. Now, the whole reason the W163 suffers from a notchy gas pedal is how the cable is routed. It makes a pretty... W163 Notchy Gas Pedal Fix (New Method 2026)

So I recently purchased a Bambu H2D printer with AMS 2 Pro and HT AMS. With the intent on making car parts. After about 400 hours of print time on it, I'm finding things out. For 1 things that printed great on my $200 Ender 3 V2 come out like crap on the H2D. The reason for that is that the Ender prints so fucking slow you cant F up. I have found that to take advantage of the H2D speed I need filaments that can use that speed. So PLA and PLA+ and PLA+ 2.0 will all work fine on the Ender but...

Replaced the old, possibly original, washer fluid tank and bolted everything up. Filled it up and no spray? The rear wiper gets fluid and I can hear and feel the pump for the front windshield running but only a few drops, a dribble really, emerges. Any suggestions? Do the spray nozzles at the windshield get clogged? Is there air in the system that needs to work its way out? I'm stumped. Although the new tank looks real nice under the hood the point was to get washer fluid onto the... Replace Washer Tank, No Spray

So I recently bought an 85 300SD and I’m loving it. The radio didn’t work when I bought it, so I picked up a Becker 612 and a 754 for $75. The Becker 612 powers on and the am/fm works fine, but the cassette part does not. When you insert a cassette, the side 1/2 light comes on and there is a clicking sound but shortly after the belts move but the actual cassette tape stays stationary. I took it apart and replaced the belts and that did not fix the issue. I noticed when I pressed on one of... Becker 612 problems/question about Becker 754

Hi, In Ontario Canada. Not a lot of Oem r129 options. I can find more than a few that are narrower. Like some 17 inch bbs amg rims, 7.5x17, et 34 and 37. That is 3/4 inch narrower than the 17 inch oem rims. That would impact handling and road feel? Rub on something? I’ve got a 92 sl500
