Dang it. Got the car home, got it cleaned up initially, started poking around a bit and found the tiniest bit of bubbling around the #3 and #4 injectors with some brake cleaner sprayed around the bases. I checked it out closely when I test drove it the other day and didn’t see anything. A 60 mile drive on the interstate at 80 mph seems to have loosened things up a bit…however, the leakage is really minimal and there’s no buildup of crud or anything that would indicate it’s significant or even remotely approaching the “Black Death” stage.
Got a set of seals, bolts and a container of grease ordered from the dealer. I may just do #3 and #4 and leave the others alone for now. Ordered a seat cutting tool off Amazon - there are a lot of them, so this must be endemic for a number of different engines, and not just Mercedes. I’m going to let the boy drive it until I get the stuff to fix it. We’ll keep an eye on it in the meantime, but his commute is only about 30-40 miles a day so I don’t expect it to be an issue at this point. -D _______________________________________ http://www.okiebenz.com To search list archives http://www.okiebenz.com/archive/ To Unsubscribe or change delivery options go to: http://mail.okiebenz.com/mailman/listinfo/mercedes_okiebenz.com
