Thanks! Me, too. This is my first major dive into the engine systems/electronics on a W140, as mine have all been trouble free since I got them up to this point.
I am a bit surprised that the fuel flow was restricted so much by the (old/clogged) filter. It was just coming up to the 30k mark, but I’ve never had one restrict flow like that before. Thank goodness I keep a stock of consumables on the shelf. Dan > On May 12, 2015, at 12:10 PM, WILTON via Mercedes <mercedes@okiebenz.com> > wrote: > > ATTABOY!
