From J.kuylaars at kpnplanet.nl Tue May 13 18:14:08 2008 From: J.kuylaars at kpnplanet.nl (Jan Kuylaars) Date: Wed, 14 May 2008 00:14:08 +0200 Subject: [R129 SL] (no subject) Message-ID: <001d01c8b546$aa1dff90$0202a8c0@medion1> Hello Folks. I bought last week a 1998 C240 combo stationcar in green with white leather. The car has a perfect maintenance and has driven 160000 km = 100000 miles. It runs perfect, has all extra's except electrical memory seats.with heating. So I am glad, now I have a Mercedes 500Sl from 1989 and a c240 from 1998. Turnaround the figures. But I have a problem with my SL. I heard for several months the electrical gas pump under the trunk makes a sizzling noise. So I knew some day I must replace. I think that the time now has come, because the sizzling noise disappears, but when I give acceleration on the pedal, the engine gives power till about 3500 rpm and then stops and start to shake. When I drive easy, I can drive 140 km/hour without problems , if I stay under the 3000 rpm. So I guess there is one pump running for first stage, and for the second stage the pump is defect. Has someone experience with this? I cannot believe that the pump has repaired it self and has no noise anymore, and this complaint has a different reason With Friendly greetings., Jan Kuylaars Flying Dutchman . -------------- next part -------------- An HTML attachment was scrubbed...

It's the remote 6 CD player unit in the trunk. Does anyone know where the fuse is for the remote changer ? Has anyone else have problems with this unit ? Thanks in advance for your thoughts.

You might check for obstructions both outside and inside (you will have to remove the underside trim panel inside. It comes down to elimination of causes one at a time. Hope you nail it.
