I have a December 94 S500L here in the UK, not used for about 9 years. Such a beautiful car, but my word, what a pain in the backside these cars can be. I will be watching your videos for sure !
I have the same code reader but with the banana plugs for the 16 pin connector instead of the small pins for the 38 pin connector like yours. Works perfect on my '91 500SL. You can build your own which is not hard but I enjoy having the nicely built one for $30, and it's just easily available versus taking your time to make your own. When I first read codes I had a ton (probably from years ago when the battery got low and was replaced by previous owner), but after clearing codes on every pin and rechecking after 2 weeks, I had none. So that was nice lol
You probably know this already but I found out that the circle part on the cover twists off like a radiator cap. So you don't need to remove the large cover. Thanks for all of the videos.
Welcome. What is the amount of voltage supplied to the nozzle of the Mercedes W140 engine and the M104 engine? S320 Thank you. I follow you from Iraq, I have a Mercedes w140@@petescarport
Pete I suggest to buy a STAR kit (laptop and multiplexor). I got mine and I'm happy. Before I've been trying to use "Carsoft V12" but I couldn't make it work so now I'm happy with my STAR kit. Yeah, unfortunately we have to deal with 38-pin port...
@@petescarport Nice! Good luck with it! BTW if you find facelifted 97+ S600 long (or LWB) sedan for parts please let me know. I may be interested in exhaust. TIA!

Hey! Im have 1993 600sel.when you push 5 seconds on instrument Secret Cluster Pin then turn the pin to right, it will SE and SA mode means and has lot of fuel level and pressure gage, and the SE and SA mode.Also it has one more mode is 25 to 0 to -25. When you push the pin 5 seconds than turn to left is on that mode, I'm don't know it too! Any idea!
Very helpful! Ordered the code reader, and I got lots of good info … One question: Any ideas on a source for knock sensors and related wiring for an S420? Having a very hard time sourcing them for a 1995 W140 model.
Hey bro my mercedes w140 s500 1999 has a problem the radio wont light up and the ac buttons wont work neither the radio buttons i can only turn on the defrosters thats it cant change anything either need help please
Question Pete. Have you ever had your s500 surge on the hwy like its losing power for for second and then good for a second at constant throttle cruising?
Thank you for the Tutorial. You explained it so well. One question....how many miles should you run after clearing the codes before taking the car for a smog test? Thanks again!
Thanks. I think mine is egr and maybe o2 sensor. I have to go through it all but right now I can't drive it. When I rev engine it stalls and had no low end power
HAY Piter are god problems to may car Mercedes-Benz s500 w140 moder 1996 petrol when are starting is canton when are starting are getting back fryer and late start
Yeah, isn't this fun? I've had my check engine light on for a little less than a year. Got the codes for the neutral safety switch. Cleared them and the light was off for about a day until it came back with the same code. I replaced the switch with a genuine Mercedes one, and lone behold... It made absolutely no difference whatsoever and the light is still on with the same code. I hope you have better luck than me.
Wow. Yeah. I know I can reset mine and it stays off for about a week or two and that's why I figured it was o2 sensor. They seem to do that. But now I think it's that and the egr valve. Wish me luck

Watching this video just like going to school of mechanic for Mercedes Benz.
Thanks for your time and effort.

Good to hear. I'm going to pull my plugs tomorrow and then pull the cats if that doesn't work. I already cleaned and tested the erg valve

It's definitely in the mix. My goal is to keep buying w140s and as channel grows do give aways.

Sweet. Let me know if you need any help with anything. Thanks for watchin
Is it bad to hold battery terminals together to clear codes??

Usually order from fcpeuro.com or autohausaz.com. But right now it’s hard to find parts in stock for euro cars. Hopefully that helps
I have the same issues with mine please help thanks
Good job man thank you so much!
Just got an R129, trying to figure this all out. Thanks
Oh have you seen all my new videos? I’m working on a couple r129s but doing a lot of diagnosing. Let me know if you need help

Love the vids Brother!
Thanks. I'm pulling plugs now and doing compression test. Also cleaned out egr. Fingers crossed it works. Video should be out tomorrow
Pete’s Carport Are you on Facebook as well?
I'm going to get back on. Long story but been of for 6years. But I am on instagram. @petescarport
Name of the wheels ?
Question Pete. Have you ever had your s500 surge on the hwy like its losing power for for second and then good for a second at constant throttle cruising?
I have not. What year is yours?
Pete its a 1995 s420 lwb.
Thank you for the Tutorial. You explained it so well. One question....how many miles should you run after clearing the codes before taking the car for a smog test? Thanks again!
Shouldn't take much. Maybe 100miles. But I'm florida we don't have smog or emissions test so I can't be 💯 on that.
Your awesome
Thanks. I think mine is egr and maybe o2 sensor. I have to go through it all but right now I can't drive it. When I rev engine it stalls and had no low end power
Did you remove your ASR/Egas module on purpose to avoid the ASR limp mode issue?
Not sure what your referring to? I didn’t remove any module.
Pete have you done a speed sensor replacement on your W140? I’m also looking for a diagrams of the W140
Thanks
I have not had to do a full speed sensor yet but have repaired one. They shouldn't be too difficult to change out.
Does a obd1 to obd2 port work too?
Only with the correct scanner software but yes you can do that as well.
What kind of idle issues u getting? Did u check cam seals?
It ended up being a melted coil wire
Pete’s Carport ok
Does anyone know why pin 14 (lambda on-off ratio) would have a constant light? or reason why any pin would have a constant light?
They all have constant light when the ignition key is off or position 1.
I got that exact same reader for mine. Even though mine is a 96 it's a non USA model so no obd2
Can I clear the trans with it? I wonder. But I think you need a star diagnostic tool
@@petescarport nope..definitely needs a code reader that is a little more sophisticated..😥

Great video where is the EGR.. and the code sheet you printed off the mercedscodereader.com website??
Find your OBD1 code file here - www.mercedescodereader.com/files.html
The egr is located on top of motor up front right under the cover that attaches to the air box. I can find a diagram if you need
Ricks Mercedes Obd1 Diagnostic Code Reader. So I can purchase code reader on eBay??
Pete’s Carport when you get time if you can shoot me a diagram should it be in the Sam place on a 95 S420?
@@wrt1958 send me email. I can send you photos of my engine and where the egr valve is
Hey pete what do you think of s320 engine w140 1995
I've never driven one but I hear they are great. Reliable but a lot less torque and power.
Yeah, isn't this fun? I've had my check engine light on for a little less than a year. Got the codes for the neutral safety switch.
