Re: [MBZ] My ML350 Bluetec Oil Cooler Seal Repair update
And to top it off. Somewhere along the repair process I broke the tee fitting on the injector fuel return line, darn! Mercedes only sells the whole assembly and the fitting I broke isn't available. Tried to get the broken piece out of the hose even that I haven't able to remove it yet from the hose?
