    New and used tires on 4Matic

    One thing got me thinking.. I know the newer high performance AMG cars with 4WD have the possibility to enter drift mode. This will disconnect the front wheel drive for as long as this mode is selected. I would assume drifting would wear down the rear tires considerably faster than the front...

    They are the same on each axle. I will put the new ones on the front axle, and the used ones on the rear.

    New and used tires on 4Matic

    Well, I was more concerned about damage to the transfer gearbox. I don't want to risk anything. Measured again a little more precise, and the difference is 3-4 mm on average. Maybe a little more air pressure in the used ones would increase the size a little?? ;-)

    New and used tires on 4Matic

    Hi all. I have just bought a 2014 E350 CDI 4Matic that came with two new and two used summer tires. The circumference differs with 4-5 mm. Is this within acceptable tolerance? Or do I need to have all new tires?

    Second turbo failure.....

    E270 Owner... You lost me on the hairspray approach.. :-) What would that do? and does it mean that I can use the car as it is until the MB workshop has determined what they will do with it? or will it do any serious damage to the turbo or motor?

    Second turbo failure.....

    Mechanic said noise comes from the variable boost mechanism. No crack or leak in the lines, and turbo spins truely with no slop.

    Second turbo failure.....

    Hi jaymanek. I am not sure how he came to his conclusion, but he said it sounded like it came from around the variable vanes that varies the boost pressure. maybe you are on to something.. I'll give him a call and ask him.

    Second turbo failure.....

    So do you think it is ok to use the car in this condition? or can I get metal shavings in the motor? I need the car on daily basis.

    Second turbo failure.....

    Hi all. Four years ago I had a turbo failure on my 211. Now 77000km later I got a squeeking sound in the car when I accelerate. Sounded like a slipping fanbelt, but after changing the belt the sound was still present. Mechanic started to investigate, and found the noise to come from the turbo...
