Mercedes-Benz

The luxury car manufacturer from Germany appears to be holding a pair potential moneymakers in the Mercedes-Benz A45 AMG and the Mercedes-Benz CLA 45 AMG. Expectations are high for these two car models, which may surpass the sales of the Mercedes-Benz C63. The C63 itself has been a top-seller for the German company.The company indicated that the two vehicles will signal the start of a new era for Mercedes-AMG. This is the first time that the performance brand of Mercedes-Benz is offering a pair of high-performance vehicles using a four-cylinder engine. The two new models of Mercedes-Benz are considered as an appropriate introduction into the AMG world.The two vehicles will utilize the latest M133 engine, which has its roots in the two-liter turbo engine that is used on the A-250. It offers a total output of 360HP and 450Nm of torque. The Mercedes-Benz A45 AMG and Mercedes-Benz CLA 45 AMG can accelerate from 0 to 100 km/h in around four seconds. It is also interesting to know that the emission of the two vehicles is limited to 161 to 165 grams for every kilometer while fuel consumption is at around seven liters for every 100 kilometers.

Despite being in the market for some time already, the Mercedes-Benz CLS continues to be have an up-to-date and notable form. The AMG variant of the vehicle is also faster compared to other sports cars in the market. In fact, when it is placed side-by-side with its competitors in the market, the CLS stands out among them.Recently, the Mercedes-Benz CLS was given a different albeit a more menacing look by SR Auto. The Canadian tuning company gave the vehicle a sleek piano look along with a set of customized wheels.The 5IVE Depth alloys of PUR Wheels are hardly used due to its peculiar three-double-spoke design. However, it appears that this set is made for the lowered variant of the CLS. In addition to the new alloys, the full aero body kit of Lorinser also enhances the overall look of the vehicle. The body kit comes with front fenders, a front bumper, rear lip, side skirts together with trunk and roof spoilers.All of these modifications simply complements the menacing appearance of the Mercedes-Benz CLS.

I did an engine swap taken a 300 sdl putting it into a 350 body and now the engine has no power, so we pull the turbo vacuum line and plugged it the car ran good for a while then went back to slow rpm and no power, can anyone help or steer me in the right direction as this engine was running great in the other car.

I recently bought a 2009 C300 and my AC regulator is bad. I found a new one online for $150 less than the dealer was charging, but I have no clue where it is located to change it. I cant find any site that shows it's location either. can anyone help me please?

Hello, Noob here, and wanted to learn more about possibly replacing the stock lighting on my vehicle to HID. Any suggestions, info on brand, Kelvins ( as i prefer white and not blue thinking 5000K?), what type of kit to purchase that will not send error? Thanks in advance for any information you may share. :)

New member here and hope to gain some info and kowledge about MB and it's vehicles! Former Subaru enthusiast, now decided to acquire the vehicle i've always liked. :)

Hi all, I am the proud new owner of a 2005 MB E320 CDI. Was my father's. He'd driven MB diesels since 1976, beginning with a '76 240D, moving through the years, a new one every 7 to 10 years, finally ending with the '05 E320 CDI. I only mention it because having driven all of them, I find it amazing what Mercedes has done with the diesel technology over the years. That 240D was a serious turtle, just putted along no matter how far you pressed the accelerator. And his '83 300D Turbo was flat out dangerous the way it behaved just like the 240D until that turbo kicked it and off like a rocket (relatively) it went--nothing subtle about it, and talk about lag... And now, this E320 CDI is so smooth and fast, very little lag, behaves nearly like a gasoline engine (and a very powerful one at that). My wife drives a 2005 E320 gas model and this CDI is as fast or faster and certainly feels more powerful. At any rate, I took it in for service a few weeks ago because all of a sudden it began to feel like that old 240D--the turbo never seemed to kick in, it just putted along. I was informed that the EGR was acting up and after they tried cleaning it, it still went into what the repair man called "limp home mode" (perfect description of what it felt like). So, long story short, he advised that we just disable it or remove it (forget which) and subsequently I've read that some are doing that as a matter or course feeling the engine runs better without it. My question is, how can I be sure it's out of the loop in the cleanest way possible? I've read that there appear to be several ways to disable it in effect: block the vacuum tube, place a steel cap over something, etc. Is this something I can check myself to determine exactly what the repair shop did? Thanks in advance for any help. Best, Gary

It’s like Mercedes-Benz Vans just can’t help but bring home more awards from all over. After its wins in the Motoring Matters Awards and the Van Fleet Awards, a couple of the division’s offerings grabbed awards from a specialist jury at the 2013 Courier, Express and Parcel Services Van of the Year competition that’s hosted by the Stuttgart-based ETM-Verlag publishing company.The Mercedes-Benz Vito (113 CDI variant) took the win in the “Vans up to 3 tonnes” category, while the new Sprinter (316 BlueTEC) copped first place in the “Vans up to 3.5 tonnes” category, thereby affirming its class-leading status.Because of its Euro VI-compliant engines across all variants, the Sprinter became the first Van to achieve such a green feat. With that, the van is able to offer unrivaled efficiency. In addition, the new Sprinter comes with top-of-the-line driver assistance and safety systems.With 40 professionals from the relevant sectors comprising the jury, this was a good showing for Mercedes-Benz. There were a total of four categories in all, with some 23 vehicle models in consideration.The professionals had to evaluate the vans based on real-world conditions and using an array of testing methods. Aspects included in the judging included comfort, design, handling, functionality, and economy.Testers amassed over 2,500 km across 800 runs in the different vehicles, all taking place in Warnemunde.

When the Mercedes-Benz CLA was initially introduced, the luxury vehicle manufacturer from Germany released commercials showing a wolf going up against Mercedes. The advertisements were shot in Iceland, and it appears that it is staging a comeback with a new ad showing the wolf going up against a Mercedes-Benz CLA 45 AMG.The latest advertisement was released by the AMG division and shows the Mercedes-Benz CLA 45 AMG coming out of a garage. The wolf, on the other hand, is just outside the garage. The vehicle features a 2-liter engine that offers an output of 360HP and 450Nm of torque. Aside from being the most powerful series production four-cylinder unit, the turbocharged engine of the CLA 45 AMG also complies with the EU 6 emissions standard.The Mercedes-Benz CLA 45 is considered to be the best compact car produced by the German vehicle manufacturer, and expectations are high for this particular vehicle.
