1985 Mercedes-Benz S-Class Questions & Answers
Starts for 10 seconds then stop
It sounds like a vacuum leak. Check all your air hoses. If there is a leak, the engine is getting too much air before the airflow sensor and after the start up boost of fuel to the engine (usually about 10 sec) the engine goes back to normal mode fuel delivery and the engine dies because the air to fuel ratio is too lean. You may have knocked a hose of or torn it when doing the service.

Indicators won't work in 85 Mercedes 380sl
its not a fuse its the flasher relay they are located under the main fuse holder under the hood on the driver side they are square there should be three one for the fuel pump one for the electrical panels and lights and horn and the other is the one for the flashers your better off replacing them all since electrical parts are mostly the same age replacing one may fix that problem now but happens when one of the others goes out and your in the middle of no where in the middle of the night since your going to be replacing one its better to replace them all to save a head ache for later just the same as any car part like the radiator hoses if one is worn and leaking then the other maybe the same but has not formed a hole yet its always better to think ahead then to think about what is going on at the time of the problem just something to think about

Is there any way to add an ignition kill-switch on my 2001 Mercedes Benz S500? Battery goes dead after about five days without driving
It is called Parasitic Draw, one item is being left on and is draining power. Attach an ammeter to the battery. Remove fuses one at a time, keeping an eye on the ammeter. When you pull one fuse, you will see the reading drop a lot. That circuit is the one causing the problem. When you know the fuse, you can check all the things it covers. There will always be some draw because items like the clock and a number of modules are constantly powered.
In general terms, you can't find work-arounds for problems like this, you have to fix them. Or, you can take the vehicle to a good auto-electrician.
Car engine rough running?
The most common 3 reason why your Mercedes is running rough are a vacuum leak, an issue with the spark plugs, or a problem with the ignition coil. Clean out the throttle body and make sure there is no ware at the butterfly pivot shaft .
