My favorite way to bleed clutch systems is to use an old fashioned hand
pump oil gun.
I fill the pump oiler with brake fluid, attach a hose to the pump output
pipe and to the bleed screw on the clutch slave cylinder.
Then loosen the cap on the clutch master cylinder [leave it on, just not
tight,
My goal is to keep it rented for another 3 years then sell. So far
they have always paid every month (although sometimes a couple of days
late), if they pay July as they said they will then we might be more
understanding.

Here’s something that’s weird:
Looks like the part number is a Bosch F00M144132 or a Mercedes 0041540006.
Anything I’ve found online isn’t available until the end of July.
It’s around $50 aftermarket (Bosch) and around $80 from Mercedes.
I gotta think about this.

Thanks, Grant, I’ll do that. I’m putting together a list of some things I’ll
provision it with, like a cargo area mat, first aid kit, high visibility safety

cheap) and spare bulbs, etc.

That feature makes it impossible to use a spare fuel jug to put fuel in the

You need a "special adaptor" that holds the flapper open while you put the
fuel jug in the hole.

A bit of research tells me the biggest issues with this one are rust (in

Very common on W210/211 cars. About the only thing you can do short of
replacement is to use “Goo Gone” (carefully) or isopropyl alcohol. If you do,
be careful not to remove the paint or your button will be the base plastic
color with no icon.

Sounds more like engine problem than the actual pump based on fact engine dies
when trigger pulled (demanding engine deliver more power). Probably fuel,
maybe main jet blocked by corrosion.

Pump alone should be much less than a new washer. Once pump is removed,
you should be able to run the engine, sans pump... if it runs OK... it is
good.
