Sunil - the sound panel being off should hurt anything, especially in normal
driving on decent roads. I suppose they provide a bit of deflection of
water, mud, and grit, but they are there to make the car seem quieter,
mainly.

Subject: Re: [MBZ] Oil Change - Questions
That inline filter you talk of is a vacuum switch. leave it alone.
And my front noise encapsulation panel is missing. Made changing the oil
really simple, but it sort of sounds like my 84 300D.
Am I doing any damage running around without the panel in place?
