Re: [MBZ] W163 stuck in park

There's a spring loaded door at the bottom of the PRND markings. Similar on a W210 too. Stick the key in the little door doohickey, angled back a bit, and use the key to pry the override switch forward. While doing this, have the key in the ignition switched to "on". Simple if you have a

I had the same problem with my '79 300SD when I replaced the front calipers. I ended up filing part of the caliper body for clearance. I actually now don't remember if the pads didn't fit, or maybe it was the caliper that didn't quite fit the bracket without bumping into something. I think

Re: [MBZ] Today's Project - CL600

I actually won't be doing the belt idler tomorrow, because the part that's actually noisy is the belt tensioner and I mistakenly ordered the idler pulley. Grumble. The belt itself looks OK but thinking since I need to make another order anyway, maybe just replace it and throw the old one in

My German teacher in high school, Frau Johnson, used to tell the story of how when her family came to United States at some point in the early 1950s, her dad bought and an A6 for their family vehicle. He drove it until 1988ish when the family pulled his license after he obliterated a Chevette

Changed oil in the E500 today. Used the HF oil sucker. Sure wish I'd bought one of those a long time ago. I presume the filters are packaged for multiple applications and it's normal to have an extra O-ring in the package. Also installed new wiper blades. Couldn't figure out the passenger side
