If you call Rusty, he not only can get anything you need for your MB,
he might even be able to supply parts for your front porche and your
back porche (or any other porche you may have)..

There are a bunch of other things you can display there, but I put it

Ah... Distributorless ignition?
Does it have a cable that physically connects to a valve in the air
intake?
(My E300 has a cable, but it is connected to a sensor, likely a pair
of redundant hall-effect sensors (as compared to a flimsy

For some reason, I was thinking the V6 came out in 2006.
I take it the original tires were H-rated?
IIRC, the V6 came out in 2007. I believe so. That's what I have on
there now at least!
Oh, then I'm really an idiot. I thought

Yeah, I've got the 2.4L Twin Cam, sort of an upgraded Quad Four, with the Q-4's
ignition coil roasting system. Throttle body is normal, with a cable to the foot
pedal. Intake manifold is plastic, and now the thing refuses to idle below

It certainly wasn't a GM

So, how did those shocks work out on your porch? I never considered that but
them my porch sits on concrete piles
and has no springs so I am not sure how much help the shocks might be. Now if I
was in California and had to worry
about aftershocks, I might want them.
Randy who is bored obviously
06 went to the V6. Original tires on the 05 were H rated...
The V-6 Bluetec was an '07. My friend AC has one and I have driven it.
Utterly reliable, just like my W204. At last.

McDonald,
If you looked at the older parts of his blog, you will see that he had the
laser cutter do the work of cutting out
all of the parts for the model from sheets of acrylic. It worked really well
for that and everything fit together
like a swiss watch. They can do wood but it burns the edges quite

No, you are not. The 2007 Bluetec V-6 is badged E320 but it's not a 3.2.
Weren't the inline sixes badged CDI? The Bluetec for the US market isn't.
