An indicator light informs you when the urea exhaust fluid runs low. If you ignore this and let the fluid run dry, the engine won't start. When empty requires 2.5 gals. of Adblue. Not too complicated; the only challenge is to avoid making a mess. The service light automatically turns off after

Yeah I've seen it help, for a day or two. Then back to the old "works when it wants to" mode. I'm thinking just unplugging/replugging the amplifier module accounts for it (reseating the pins in the socket). I've tried contact cleaner, slightly spreading the pins so they fit tighter, etc. Nothing

I think that's something of an old wives tale. In my experience, OM617 tachs are always intermittent and not much fixes them. I've tried stuffing foam peanuts, etc under the cap and it doesn't really help for long. Allan Dan Penoff via Mercedes writes: > You need to burn a couple of heaters

“Beating a heater” is a slang term from the 1940s and 50s for smoking a cigarette. If you read the rest you might have gotten it from context when I said to put their butts inside the cap of the tach amp. -D > On May 11, 2020, at 3:41 PM, Andrew Strasfogel via Mercedes > wrote: > > I need
