As the weather forecast is saying it’s going to be hotter than heck this weekend, I figured I would go ahead and take a swing at replacing the air meter boot and injectors on the 300SEL when I got home today. I started around 5:00 and finished around 8:00. It wasn’t a difficult job, just a

Nothing wrong with that, M1 would be my second choice. Since this was on sale for less than M1, I jumped at the opportunity. And it’s the factory recommended stuff, so you can’t go wrong with it. Dan > On Apr 16, 2016, at 10:23 PM, Dwight Giles via Mercedes > wrote:

Febi 08971. Jaime was kind enough to point out the sale FCPEuro had a week ago Friday for $7.11/liter. I bought 10 at that price, and free shipping, too! Dan > On Apr 16, 2016, at 10:14 PM, Dwight Giles wrote: > > Dan. > What type of ATF did you use? You remind me

Did a transmission fluid and filter change with Febi fluid and filter. Probably wasn’t needed, but at least now I have a point of reference for future fluid and filter changes. Car does shift a little better. The other thing I did as a part of this was to install the front “noise capsule” or

Oldest son texts me today that his car (1998 S420) is running rough and is throwing a CEL. Hmm. I get home and he starts it up. Sounds OK, but he points out that there is some vibration at idle and it seems to be a little sluggish. I pop the DAS computer on it, run a full set of diagnostics,

Started out with a cooling system drain and flush to get all the nasty stuff out. Ran some errands and the cooling system was dead nuts on 85C the whole time. Nice! Decided I would tackle the motor mounts this afternoon. Driver’s side came out in a heartbeat. Fasteners were at torque,

After scraping the hood down for the future hood pad installation, I began to do the thermostat swap. Despite Curly’s warnings about it being tight, it was really easy to get to from below. The bottom bolt came right out with minimal effort and the top bolt was actually easier to break loose

Got a used window regulator for the driver’s window, which does the “pop-pop-pop” and doesn’t go all the way up. Removed the inner door panel and was pleased to see that not too many of the top edge hooks were broken off - only 3 of 5. Everything else was intact, and the interior of the door

Got tires on the car. Couldn’t start it after they were done. Had to put their roll around charger on it for 15 minutes and it cranked right up. Brought it home and started in on the AC, which was in need as it was low. It did build up pressure but not enough to get the low pressure switch
