I went out to the garage this morning a the S600 was mis-firing on startup. Once I got it running I was going to drive it to the dealership and I heard a screeching noise and the car bled it's hydraulic oil. This is going to be expensive. The car is at the dealership now getting looked at and I should have an estimate by tomorrow. I'm guessing at least $7,000. Whoever is closest to the bill can have the car for all I care. I might wind up selling it, I just don't have that much money to keep the car alive. :(

did a lot of oil come out of where the pump is?

Have you heard the stuff the guy at mercedessource.com has to say? He has some pretty comprehensive DIY videos.

I can buy it for you!

But I know it would be a terrible financial decision. Sorry mate, it was fun while it lasted.

It was fun while it lasted, best of luck on keeping it and hopefully if you end up selling it you can get a more reliable s-class.

Somewhere in the general vicinity of the pump yeah.

It was too good to be true. Maybe I'll get a Miata or a S2000.

V12 Jake- Hittin' Switches > RoadsterRevolution(wants a Range Rover Classic) 03/31/2016 at 18:18

Yep. I'm thinking a convertible of some sort.

No way. The proper replacement for luxury is more luxury. May I suggest the Ford Tempo?

V12 Jake- Hittin' Switches > Steve in Manhattan 03/31/2016 at 18:18

Yeah, but it will just keep breaking down.

These would be awesome, in reality an slk55 amg or clk would be cool.

V12 Jake- Hittin' Switches > Nibby 03/31/2016 at 18:21

A brilliant suggestion. Perhaps maybe a first generation Chevy Lumina LTZ. Gotta have that luxury trim.

V12 Jake- Hittin' Switches > RoadsterRevolution(wants a Range Rover Classic) 03/31/2016 at 18:23

Maybe a old 300 D wagon and a NB Miata ?

RoadsterRevolution(wants a Range Rover Classic) > V12 Jake- Hittin' Switches 03/31/2016 at 18:24

Eh, 300d wagon would be the most awesome choice but I would have to say an NA.

Ouch! Just days after that comment of yours about... Never mind, I don't need to rub it in. Best of luck my friend, hopefully you can salvage it.

Oh, forgot about that one! Solid contender.

Maybe step back, put together a list of what the car needs now and in the next year, and then decide. It’s going to cost either way. Unless, of course, you’re just sick and tired of all the drama.

You've had some problems with it lately haven't you? Sorry to hear. 8423 is my guess.

That sucks, hope it’s as simple as my E39 misfire fix. I’d say $4768

V12 Jake- Hittin' Switches > Decay buys too many beaters 03/31/2016 at 19:18

The misfire is a coilpack, so at least $1500 for that and god knows how much the suspension will be

Jesus, is that the cost for ONE coilpack!?!

V12 Jake- Hittin' Switches > Decay buys too many beaters 03/31/2016 at 19:24

1500 a pop, but there is only two packs

Decay buys too many beaters > V12 Jake- Hittin' Switches 03/31/2016 at 19:30

0

So one pack per bank? That’s a kind of odd arrangement, is your engine also a dualspark?

So you have TWENTY FOUR(!) spark plugs?!?

V12 Jake- Hittin' Switches > Decay buys too many beaters 03/31/2016 at 19:51

Yep! 24 spark plugs, 36 valves, two turbos, 12 cylinders and like 9 quarts of oil.

One of my vehicles ties you on valves! Everything else... not so much

Let me guess, are half of those plugs basically inside the firewall?

Although an slk55 is a wonderful choice.

Nope ! Gladly the engine fits pretty nicely in the bay.

V12 Jake- Hittin' Switches > Decay buys too many beaters 03/31/2016 at 20:02

And what vehicle had 36 valves ?
