to, say, Comet.  Designed to not scratch porcelain.  Barkeeper's friend

[MBZ] Oil filler cap leak?

2023-10-16 Thread Donald Snook via Mercedes
I have now made a couple speed runs from Memphis to Biloxi, MS running 85-90 on 
the interstate.  I noticed a little bit of oil around the filler cap and pooled 
up a tiny bit by the valve cover gasket.  It is only on the right side (looking 
at the engine).  It looks like it ran down from the oil filler cap. It was only 
a teaspoon or so of oil.  
I think it’s the oil filler cap. Do these leak? Is this common? 

The previous owner used ligui moly 10-40 for the oil.  I’m thinking about using 
Mobil 15-50
(The one with extra zinc for higher mileage) or Delo 15-40.   Any 
recommendations?

Are those USA bumpers?  Might be worth a look provided there are photos of
the interior and engine bay

[MBZ] Car has an intermitted limb mode. Mercedes Benz ML350 - "On Hold" - $5, 999

2023-10-16 Thread Floyd Thursby via Mercedes
If it happens and you restart the car, it's fine and may not happen 
again for several weeks or even months. Shop said it may be needing a TC 
module, but the transmission itself appears to be fine. This module 
should be repaired / replaced to be completely safe to drive.

Re: [MBZ] A better way to polish headlights

The cerium oxide was more aggressive than the Meguiars Ultimate 
compound, seemed to be about the same as 3000 grit

I would probably try rubbing compound first just for grins. It’s pretty

finer that would probably work,too.
