  1. The vehicle isn't here, and my son insisted on getting the guy new speakers because the old ones were so distorted; now I don't understand. This is a surprise birthday present for the man who expertly restored the leather steering wheel of the S124. I'll keep trying, but the main thing is, what size? Information will be provided as it occurs. They are reportedly at the front doors, according to a new update. Once more, what size are the replacements?
  2. I was under the impression that these would be door speakers, so now I'm a little confused. It is not my vehicle. Even my son's friend, who owns the van, is clueless! Once we have more information, I will return.
  3. To that I am grateful. Were they a plug-and-play affair, requiring no middlemen? The diameter is 5 inches. For our W124, we used a 4.8-inch, plug-and-play design.
  4. Greetings to all, A friend of my son's has a Vito van. They are planning to purchase him a pair of front speakers to replace the ones he has. There's no way to measure the van because it's confidential. Are the speakers' dimensions known by anyone? We bought a decent pair of W124s for around 50€, but we don't know what size W639 would be best. Is anyone here? Thank you ahead of time.

  6. Two of the best tyre brands are Michelin Pilot Sport 4S and Continental SC7. However, the price is high. The Goodyear Asymmetric 6 and F1 tyres are excellent substitutes. You get a better grip and less noise for the same price. Since tires are subjective, I'm sure you'll be presented with a variety of brands. For more information about each brand and tyre, see the trye review.
  7. If you plan on keeping the car, I recommend removing and cleaning the intake manifolds, replacing the motor and swirl flap arms and getting the oil cooler seals done. A new turbo and actuator are likely next on the agenda. Once the turbo is removed, the manifolds may be removed in half the time. My best wishes.

  9. The egr valve, turbo actuator, and swirl flap motor are all powered by the 5v supply circuit. The symptoms you mentioned could be caused by a malfunctioning component that is reducing the 5v supply. In my experience, each one has been flawed at some point. When testing resistors, swirl flap is a simple and fast alteration to use. Following that, I will examine the egr valve.
  10. I'm in favour of swapping out the springs with sport or avantgarde ones. If you are unsure of what you need and happen to live near a Mercedes dealership, I recommend visiting their parts counter. Provide them with your car's year and specifications, and enquire as to whether there is a different part number of spring available for the Avantgarde spec version of that same year. Write down the part number and purchase them (not necessarily from the dealership). If you already have a spring compressor tool, all you need to do is find a garage and have them replace them out. Is your vehicle equipped with standard steel front and rear springs? Some models may have air springs in the back, which may be easily identified by removing the rear wheel.
  11. That's great. Look through the parts catalogues for both your specification and a comparable Sport or Avantgarde from the same year and engine size. I think the only thing that could be different are the springs, but you never know. You may tell the owner what to order by comparing part numbers.
  12. A single functional decoding site has eluded me at the moment. To the best of my knowledge, I've tried six. The message "Vin not found" or "Incorrect Vin#" keeps popping up. The only certain option is to pay around £22 for a comprehensive analysis from a business called Car Vertical. It would make my day if you could tell me about a functional decoding website.
  13. After looking at many AMGs with painted callipers, I can say with confidence that it is not dependable. Without exception, a PP is my top pick, barring a later MY with normal diff.
  14. Like with other PPs, I'm assuming it's option P30. Is that right?
  15. Salutations everyone, I'm about to witness an R231 SL63 that was made before the 2013 FL. It would mean a lot to me if someone could verify that the rear limited-slip differential is an option (471). The code wording strangely suggests a locking front diff?! Differential lock for the AMG front axle, acceleration skid control (ASR), and mechanical locking disc What is the option code for the performance pack, and how can I tell whether it has the extra power? It appears to have the LSD but no power boost, which is strange. Yours truly.
