Well, one of the original data cards MIGHT be around in your original
maintenance manual, glued into the back, or with the car's other papers.
Another place the code is located is in the numbers in the metal tag on
the radiator support. On my '95 E300 I just took a peak, and the code
is in the
The problem I have with that argument is that in many places in the
U.S.A., speed limits are set too low, and the natural safe driving speed
is typically 10 to 15 mph higher. Driving the posted speed limit
EXACTLY will often make you the slowest car on the road and a hazard to
navigation. Then
I like the idea of the spare washer pump and rear directed spray jet.

Hi Jim -
After reviewing your memoirs I think I may have found the paint code -
I have a 122 on the radiator support plate and the dataplate info (found at
http://old.mbclub.ru/mb/vin/view.html according to my notes - I must have
found that link on the MB list I think) which has 122 also -
I know we're supposed to read all contracts - but after getting up a 430am
to catch a flight, going thru all the security stuff, sitting between 2 of
the largest people ever to board a plane, being served something closer to
roadkill than real food (after foregoing breakfast for 5 more minutes
I'm with you as far as it goes but heres the thing, for NOW its just watching
for excessive speed but not far down the road it'll be Well sir your contract
CLEARLY states you will NEVER speed and whammo. From there its a slippery
slope to putting GPS units in every car and pulling people over

Yeah I stick pretty much to the right lane but there are times when
accelerating your way out of trouble is a pretty good option. Not always,
usually slowing down and driving to the police station is a better option

My point is that most places do not expect or want you to read the fine print
before you sign. They shove it at you
and say sign here. If they do, then they ought not to try to take advantage
later.

I've not been under the hood of a Diesel newer than 87. On the 94
E320, it is passenger side, near the shock/strut mount. Makes sense
that it is gasser only. Most of the crap it checks is not on a
Diesel.

åctually, the normal reason you get a check engine light is that
the computer cannot control the mixture. Time to check for vacuum
leaks, manifold cracks (if you have a plastic manifold), and leaks
