Mar,
I have a 1998 SL 500. I store it each Winter to keep it from seeing the Michigan elements. During the colder garage months, I start the car every two weeks or so and have been doing this for the past 3 years. This past year the battery went dead. I put the charger on the battery (in the car) and after about 2 hours I started the car only to find the BAS/ASR light on. The idle (as you probably know) continually fluctuates and there is no response when I push on the accelerator (except the fluctuating idle now increases interval speed). I have been all over the internet with questions. I have replaced the battery, I have replaced the serpentine belt, I have replaced the stoplight switch, I have turned the steering wheel all of the way to the left, right and then left again to attempt to zeroize the hopeful ghost fault. I have also connected a computer gadget under the dash to try and zero out the codes. I recieve a code of P0507 but the code will not zero out causing me to think there is still something wrong. It seems to be something simple because it was just all of a sudden there after the battery went dead. Can you help with this issue. I'm about to go stir crazy and yank all computers, wiring and engine out and install a basic Chevy motor in it with a five wire system. I have called the Mercedes dealer for guidance and they just told me it could be any number of things which I expected a response like that. I don't want to have to call a flatbed truck to pick it up only to find I'm being charged multiple thousands for the Mercedes dealership to use process of elimination to find the fault or problem.

 

Hi,
I have the above car and have recently has my front discs and pads changed.
Since then there has been a very strange grinding/ grating noise coming from it sounds to me like the front middle under neath the dash and centre console when i accelarate.
I have had it back to the garage where I had the work done and they cant find anything, I have also had it to the dealers who also say they cant find anything and told me it is in tip top condition!!!
I know that there is something wrong( I just don't know what) as you know your own car and the noises your used to and this isn't one of them.
Some one has mentioned that maybe it could be the prop shaft.
Does any one have any idea's as I love my car and want to repair it before it's too late and turns into a very expensive repair job.

Thanks

 

Hi There MasterBenz,

I have just joined this forum, and I wish I had joined years ago!! I have a problem with my current car a slk 55 amg. Due to work or should I say the lack of, I have just moved to the United Kingdom from Europe to place myself in suitable employment. Hence I find myself stuck with a current issue you may have time to advise me on, due to UK road laws I have to have a rear right hand side fog light and I have to adjust my headlights to suit the UK also, I have spoken to Mercedes Benz UK and to be quiet honest with you not much joy...Do you know if this is something I could do myself to satisfy the legal requirements of this country. The car is EU built specification, hope you are able to help.

Kind Regards

I am novice but enthused. I have 1998 e430 sport. I am long overdue to change spark plugs. Is this hard. I have the tools and the aptitude for it but maybe not the time. I have heard it takes hours due to configuration. Any instructions with photos appreciated.
