TSC often has Delvac 1 in 2.5 gallon jugs, the price recently went up to $56/gal which is pretty cheap for good oil. -Curt On Monday, April 4, 2022, 11:28:13 AM EDT, Kaleb Striplin via Mercedes wrote: I have not looked but Walmart shows t6 in stock at the local store. Was going to grab

Ok, I did some more troubleshooting. I charged up the battery and with the engine running it reads 14.14 V across the terminals. While revving the engine the voltage across the terminal is still 14.14 V, so that indicates to me and overcharging condition as 14.1 V without revving the engine is

A real pig of a job. Period. But not as bad as it could be if you go a little further… A common failure on W163 chassis’ cars is the door latches. When they fail you get a “machine gun” response out of them when the central locking system attempts to lock the doors. You can manually push the
