This 240D has been a daily driver for me for 3 years. This is a rust free Southern car. A great commuter, fuel conversion candidate or restoration project.
- AC doesn't work- heat is fine. Was converted to 134a according to sticker under the hood.
- Dieseling- Engine runs after key is turned off. I suspect a vacuum system leak. I stall it out to shut off engine when this happens.
- The check engine light has been on since the front brakes were done. I think it may be the brake pad wear sensor.
- The door locks don't all lock with the driver's key from the exterior, or from the interior by depressing the driver's side lock button. this is likely due to a vacuum leak as well. Locks will operate manually.
- The sunroof is not working, though it was when I bought it. I suspect a bad switch.
- Minor dents in driver's rear 1/4 panel and passenger front 1/4 panel. Dents scratches, and nicks as would be expected for an old car.
- Top foam portion of shifter knob broken off. Still works fine. I tried an aftermarket one and it kept coming loose. Needs a Merz knob.
- The antenna is not connected in the trunk, so the radio reception is sometimes fuzzy.
- The driver's side rear window switch is out. The window can be opened from the driver's seat, but not from the back seat.
- Switch for exterior passenger side mirror control is out.
- Clock just stopped working. Speedometer, odometer, gas gauge, temperature gauge work normally.
- There is an occasional short in the low beam/ high beam control arm, where you have to jiggle it to get the lights to shine. It is occasional, and always corrects with a little jiggle, so i haven't looked into fixing it.
- Passenger's front seat has a bad spring so that it is lower on the side closer the door.
- Some upholstery and rubber seals have degraded from age.
- Front door springs are worn. Doors open, close, and latch, but could use some attention.
- One of the heat/ AC vents is loose in it's slot.

2013 Mercedes-Benz SLS AMG GT Coupe
Thu, 31 Jan 2013
Mercedes-Benz upgraded its SLS flagship Coupe and Roadster for the 2013 model year, and the changes are marked with them new "GT" nomenclature. Both SLS models arrive with a retuned naturally aspired 6.2-liter V8 delivering 583 horsepower and 479 pound-feet of torque (the horses are up from 563, but the torque remains the same) mated to a revised seven-speed AMG Speedshift dual-clutch gearbox. Rounding out the mechanical upgrades is a redeveloped AMG two-mode adaptive suspension. Physically, the revised models are differentiated by their new "GT" badging, darkened headlight/taillight buckets, red brake calipers, unique wheel colors and high gloss finish on the front grille, exterior mirrors and hood/fender fins. Inside the cabin are new red seatbelts, Alcantara upholstery and contrasting red stitching.
As it is nearly impossible to experience the aluminum gullwing beast on public roads, Mercedes invited out to Southern California's Willow Springs to wring out the 2013 SLS GT Coupe on a racing circuit.
Mercedes to roll out C63 AMG late in 2014 with 4.0L V8
Mon, 30 Dec 2013The new 2014 Mercedes-Benz C-Class is upon us, launching initially in North America with turbocharged four-cylinder C300 4Matic and six-cylinder C400 4Matic flavors. But that's only the tip of the proverbial iceberg when it comes to the vast array of powertrain configurations that will be offered in the new C-Class in markets around the world. Orders will soon be rolling in for gasoline, hybrid and diesel engines with four, six or eight cylinders, driving the rear wheels or all four, with the seven-speed automatic transmission soon to be replaced by a new nine-speed unit. But what enthusiasts are really looking forward to is the next C63 AMG.
As BMW has done with the M3 (and new M4), Mercedes has gradually ratcheted up the cylinder count in its AMG C-Class, graduating from the 3.6-liter V6 in the original C36 AMG to the 4.3-liter V8 in the C43 AMG, then the 5.5-liter V8 in the C55 AMG before going the distance with the sublime 6.2-liter V8 in the C63 AMG. Like its rivals, Mercedes is expected to use turbochargers as a replacement for displacement in the next model, but unlike its Bavarian rival, it won't be losing any cylinders in the process.
Skipping the 5.5-liter twin-turbo V8 that has gone on to power other AMG models, the next C63 AMG is still expected to introduce a new 4.0-liter twin-turbo V8 producing between 450 and 500 horsepower. It'll also reportedly keep the same seven-speed automatic transmission (instead of switching to the new nine-speed), but the jury's still out on whether it'll come with rear- or all-wheel drive (or offer buyers the choice). The downsized V8 - codenamed M177 - is then expected to find its way into other models, but the C-Class will be the first to get it when it arrives before the end of the new year ahead.
Mercedes-Benz S-Class spied once again
Fri, 08 Feb 2013As evidenced by how little camouflage the next-generation Mercedes-Benz S-Class has been caught wearing lately, it can't be too much longer until the car will get its official debut. In our newest shots of the yacht-sized luxo sedan, the cladding still covers up the headlights, front fascia and most of the rear end, but we finally have an almost undisguised look at the rest of the car's lines.
Considering previous spy shots had more camo that better (or fully) concealed the S-Class' body, some of the more obvious things we see in these images include the prominent grille, the CLS-Class-inspired bodyside creases, the pointed trunk opening and, most interestingly, a lack of fancy exhaust outlets. Unlike other S-Class prototypes we've seen, this car does not have integrated outlets, but it does have two pipes on the left side of the car. All current S-Class models in the US and Europe feature a dual exhaust layout on each side of the car, so while some of our questions about the car get answered, it would appear that more are just arising.
