It could actually be a cam position sensor. In any case it looks really nice and a new engine can’t be that much if it actually needs one --FT Sent from iFōn > On Oct 2, 2023, at 12:50 PM, Kaleb Striplin via Mercedes > wrote: > >

Also, the VIN given decodes as a 2001 E430, but the paint color should be ZIRCONIC RED METALLIC (257U) and that car looks to be either dark blue or dark grey or black to my eye, hard to be sure given the nighttime lighting in the photos. On Mon, Oct 2, 2023, at 11:06, Allan Streib via

One other thing, check carefully what the octane requirement label says. European cars, especially older ones, will often specify octane in RON units - Research Octane Number. There is another unit called Motor Octane Number (MON), and US fuel grades labeld on the pump are normally the average

The 104 has more power than the 103. The 124 with a 103 will get about the sale mileage as a v8, so might as well get a 420 or 560SEL. Sent from my iPhone > On Oct 2, 2023, at 11:26 AM, Donald Snook via Mercedes > wrote: > > I had to drive my recently purchased 90 124 300E on a longish
