Re: [MBZ] Todays 116 update

The thermostatic idle air valve on our 450SL needed re-adjustment with a hammer. The plug in the body had started working out, meaning it no longer was all that thermostatic. You could adjust it for cold-start. Or warm running. But not both. After the 'hammer cure', it worked properly again.
