Mercedes-Benz diagnostic scanners

Mercedes-Benz cars are computers on wheels. When a simple sensor fails such as an ABS wheel speed sensor, half of the systems on the car get disabled. If you want to find out the problem, you can either go to the dealer shop and pay an hour or two of labor or figure out what is causing the problem using good diagnostic scanners. While dealers use Mercedes-Benz Star Scanner, which is too expensive to own and requires a subscription there are a few diagnostic scanners that get very close to the functionality of Star Scanner. Good Mercedes-Benz diagnostic scanners can read all the data from all control units. Not just,… Continue Reading »

Giancarlo Perlas October 30, 2022

The Mercedes-Benz W111 is definitely one of the darlings in restomodding. One of the leading companies that specialize in such projects is Mechatronik, and here’s another one of its works. Outside, the 1970 W111 still possesses its pristine shine.

1977 Mercedes-Benz 450 SLC Gets Hulked Up with Toyota 2JZ Engine

Giancarlo Perlas May 18, 2019

Seeing a classic 1977 Mercedes-Benz 450 SLC in an almost pristine look is definitely a rare treat. The car does not only have a beauty to boast, but it also has a powerful engine. However, an unnamed tuner did a restomod to the car that puts more oomph beneath its hood by swapping its engine with the Toyota 2JZ power unit. The 1977 450 SLC here is a mishmash of German architecture and Japanese engineering. According to Speedhunters, the original 4.5-liter naturally-aspirated V8 engine of the car was replaced by a 3.0-liter inline six Toyota 2JZ unit. The resulting power of the swap is a whopping 450 hp for the… Continue Reading »
