My vehicle is not running. It has 50,000 KM.

Mercedes here in Panama had it for a copple of simple repairs and ended up with it for six months and no real answer for why it won't start. Just that they'd need all the computer and relay parts changed just to see what the problem is.

I will ship it to Austria if necessary and if the factory would receive it. Any ideas about that?

Hello Panama!

Sorry to hear about your G. You may fine it helpful if you could maybe indicate if there was any symptoms before it stopped running? Andy parts changes, service by the dealer etc etc. Basically as much info as you can get. The full spec would also help, maybe if you posted the VIN number it could be checked to see what it came with etc etc.

Shame a MB dealer could not get it going, but there is a wealth if experience here on the forum

Luck

Hello Panama.
Spider is right.
Put up as much information here as possible, including VIN.
You will get lots of help!

Essential info needed.
Are the engine, turbo and transmission factory original or modified?
What were the "simple repairs" first needed?

Is there any possibility that petrol/gasoline got into the diesel anytime (even many km's before your problems)?
