Although the Mercedes-Benz G63 AMG is already appealing without any aftermarket enhancements, any improvements to make it look better are still very much welcome. Recently, the twin-turbo V8 vehicle received custom-made wheels from US-based Advance One Wheels.Buyers have a choice on two sets of wheels for the stock rims of the vehicle from AMG. One choice is the “Menacing Black” shade whole the second choice is one that offers a glossy finish featuring Titanium Gray pockets. Advance One gave the G63 AMG a set of wheels that lie in between the two color hues.The ADV7.01 wheels given by Advance One to the G63 AMG features a multi-spoke design using slim lines. This gives a contrasting appearance to the solid styling lines of the rugged vehicle from Mercedes-Benz. The braking system of the G63 AMG will be noticeable due to the design of the wheels offered by Advance One.On the other hand, the diminutive sidewall may affect the off-road appearance of the G63 AMG, which may not sit well with some Mercedes-Benz enthusiasts.

The alternator charges the battery and provides your car with a constant source of electricity while the engine is running. Over time, the alternator will begin to fail and cause trouble with the various electrical devices in the car. If you suspect alternator trouble, you need to check to see that is operating correctly, and is indeed the cause of the problems with your charging system. Sometimes bizarre electrical problems can be caused by a number of faults other than the alternator. It?s important to troubleshoot the system prior to replacing your alternator.

The 2013 Formula 1 championship has certainly had Mercedes AMG racing fans perched upon the edge of their seats this season. After five races, and despite starting in pole position a number of times, Mercedes are still yet to bag a win at any of the grands prix events of the 2013 F1 world championship. Ross Brawn felt he had hit the jackpot with his pairing of Nico Rosberg and Lewis Hamilton but with five races down we are still yet to witness the team pose a threat to the unstoppable Red Bulls. Despite this, Ferrari’s Formula 1 ace Fernando Alonso has been reported by the BBC as saying that Mercedes are his favourites to win at Monaco. Here we take an in-depth look back at this years previous races, and ask the question; Can Mercedes really win the Monaco Grand Prix?The Formula 1 Championship kicked off in Australia on March 17th at Melbourne’s spectacular Albert Park street circuit. Lewis Hamilton was reportedly excited about his cars performance in his debut race for Mercedes, and he had every right to be as the race kicked off with Hamilton leading the first four laps. However after scuffling on the track with Alonso, Hamilton had to make an unplanned tyre change which led to him finally placing fifth. Rosberg meanwhile experienced electrical problems with his car and had to pull out of the race after 26 laps.March 24th saw the first podium finish for Mercedes at the Malaysian Grand Prix. Hamilton placed third at Sepang for his team, just behind the two Red Bull drivers, despite an embarrassing faux pas, which saw him pull into his former teams pit by mistake for a tyre change. Hamilton didn’t look too comfortable standing on the podium at Malaysia either. Rosberg was the faster driver here but had been given orders not to overtake Hamilton, despite repeatedly questioning the race strategy, he succumbed allowing Hamilton to take third while Rosberg finished 4th.After a three week break the F1 championship returned on 14th April, this time taking to the Shanghai International circuit for the Chinese grand prix. Hamilton started this race in pole position for Mercedes, after completing his qualifying lap in a blisteringly quick time. However, according to Ross Brawn, something changed between the race qualifier and the grand prix which saw both drivers struggle to maintain consistent driving on the track, allowing Ferrari and Lotus to gain momentum. Hamilton eventually finished third though, taking another podium finish for Mercedes, while Rosberg was again, disappointingly forced to retire the race early due to a problem with his cars anti-roll bar.The fourth race of the season saw Rosberg starting in pole position for Mercedes at the Bahrain grand prix on 21st April. However, Mercedes have previously struggled at this track and this year seemed to offer nothing different. Rosberg struggled massively with his tyres, dropping from pole position to finish ninth at Bahrain. Hamilton finished fifth.The Spanish grand prix at Circuit de Catalunya on Sunday 19th May looked promising for the Mercedes AMG Petronas team. They managed to secure a 1-2 pole position, after Rosberg drove a completely faultless lap in the qualifier, followed by Hamilton just 0.2 seconds behind. Red Bull’s Sebastian Vettel started the race in third position. This gave Mercedes a straight hat-trick of poles, after China and Bahrain, and gave their racing fans hope for a win in Spain. But there was air of disappointment as again the drivers struggled to hold their positions. After 66 laps and 191 miles, Rosberg finished sixth and Hamilton a disappointing twelfth.The real problem facing the drivers in this years Formula 1 championship, appears to be something that Mercedes have struggled with since 2009, excessive tyre usage. The streets of Monte Carlo are notoriously torturous to both the Formula 1 drivers and their cars. The evidence suggests that both Hamilton and Rosberg are capable of winning the Spanish Grand Prix but unfortunately it looks as tho

I did a spark plug change as my mercedes c230 2006 272 engine are approaching 60k miles. Bought this car used, so not sure when was the last time the previous owner did it. Do my oil change regularly following the manual and checking air filter, cabin filter. Recently, i did a spark plug change, bought the Bosch plat YR7MPP33 from advance auto part. I check the manual it's recommending Y7MPP33. not sure the differences. I installed the plugs, and now the check engline light is on with code P0300 random misfire, and Misfire on cylinder 2 and 5. Also got a code for P0128(thermostat below)

It makes no sense to think that, when your major opponents are orienting their forthcoming fleet of models towards the stringent needs of the overcrowded city of the future, you sit relaxed and watch the show. If you once believed you will not see any Merc model smaller than the A-Class, you should give it a second thought. A while ago, we were reporting on the odds Mercedes-Benz launches the X-Class towards 2018 (see HERE), a niche offering destined for city mobility, in two distinct variants: a crossover with SUV aura based on the looks of the A-Class, but with specific styling, and a four-meter van. Now, it appears Mercedes-Benz will also release a three-door city car in four to five years from this moment. Currently in the early phases of development, the mini A-Class will be engineered on a new technical, front-driven platform to also underpin the future Renault Twingo. First test mules should be out in two years, if the world premiere is slated for mid-2017. Although everything sounds sci-fi at the moment, we are also pleased to inform that smart will also reveal themselves a similar model, placed above the upcoming 2015 forfour and competing directly with MINI Cooper and Audi A1. Insiders claim this new project will receive the CLY badge as series car, but that sounds unlikely even though Mercedes-Benz registered this trademark last year (see HERE). The model might also stay X-Class or convert into CLX, as the future range of city vehicles seems to concentrate around the "X" letter. For powering the new Mercedes-Benz City Car, Daimler and Renault will develop new petrol and diesel powerplants with 3-cylinder architecture and low displacement (one litre and below), but impressive consumption and CO2 emission levels. The E-CELL all-electric powertrain could also be available at launch. Pricing should start at 20,000 euros or just beneath in most European countries. The new model will also be introduced to the North American market, but it is still unknown whether it will reach China. Image Source: L'Automobile Magazine Copyright © 2013, Mercedes-Benz-Blog.

Photos of Skylar Diggins which she posted in Twitter.Skylar Diggins, a third overall draft in the Tulsa Shock team of the WNBA this year, was definitely surprised when she found a white Mercedes-Benz complete with a red bow just after her graduation ceremony from the University of Notre Dame last Sunday, May 19. It turned out that it was a surprise gift from Jay-Z, her sports agent, through his sports representation agency called Roc Nation Sports.Diggins immediately tweeted a photo of her new car while she was still in her graduation robes due to her excitement. Then, she jokingly said that “I got 99 problems, but a Benz ain’t one.”

The complex design on the new Formula One steering wheel of Mercedes-Benz allows the driver to effortlessly control all digitally-adjustable features of the vehicle.Most of the controls and instruments of Formula One cars have gradually moved into the steering wheel over the years. These controls like employing the pit-lane speed limiter system or modifying the fuel mixture and traction control, will allow the driver to manage the different functions of the car during the race.New additions to the control system on the steering wheel include managing the front wing of the vehicle and the boost button, which increases the power of cars with the KERS system temporarily.In addition to providing control over the functions of the car, the steering wheel also gives drivers all the necessary information they need while on the race track. The multi-function LCD gives the driver a signal when to shift gears at the appropriate time. It also offers information about speed, lap times, and engine temperature.Safety features also include warning lights that alert drivers on possible dangers on the track like debris or an accident.
