Hi my 1999 SL500 has an annoying AC fan motor noise, I removed the wiper, and the AC filter, I can see through the vents that the clip that holds the fan motor in place is loose causing the motor to move when I turn corners causing the noise. I removed all the bolts I can see that hold the black plastic cover in place but I cannot remove it to access the fan motor, am I missing a hidden bolt or two. Please advise how to get access to the AC fan motor to replace the clip.... Thank you

 

Mar,
I finally took my car to the dealership. They are telling me it's the Left and Right Control units. How does this differ from the CAN, or is it the same? Is this normal for this to fail?


I see it...1999 C230 Kompressor. I'm pretty sure what's happening with your car. It's shutting down your CAN (Control Area Network) System and it's using your driver's window as a default, which is common. My advice is to get checked at the dealership coz it's a little complicated than you think. There are several components tied into the CAN System, and you don't want to pay unnecessary repairs from an Independent Shop or Gas Stations. Dealerships use SDS, and they can diagnose CAN Problems on you car. I canfixyour car, but I'm here in VA., and I use the samediagnostic equipment as the dealership, and I charge a lot LESS!

take care,

MAR,

Thanks for offering help. I have a 2006 E350 4MATIC. My problem is this - When I steer sharply at slow speed I hear clicking sounds (fom the wheels?) and the engine lugs like it will die. This happens in reverse as well. Have you any experience with this?

Thanks.

 

You could actually buy an Alpine CD changer that is D2B compatible...it's a lot cheaper than the MB CD changer...


take care,
-mar-

Thanks for the info on my S500. I'll see about getting the induction service done. Do you have anyway of finding vacumn leaks other then a visual inspection? Also one more problem (sorry!) when the car is cold it gets very "chuggy" when you try to hold a steady speed. once she heats up she's fine.

Thanks again
Brian.....

 

I recently purchased a 1998 Mercedes 230SLK230 Kompressor(supercharged) and was wondering if it requires a timing belt change? It has 85,000 kilometres. Also, do you recommend servicing the transmission? New filter and oil or not? If so where would I find the information on how to change the belt? Any assistance would bve appreciated.
