Well, now that I FINALLY got the E420 registered I have some problems to
fix before we can drive it much.
1. There is a power steering fluid leak when the car is sitting. The power
steering pump sure complains when the fluid level is down. I put ATF in
it, having nothing else and having to drive to Santa Fe to get the car
registered.
2. There is a gasoline leak somewhere. Since I can detect a few fumes when
I run the HVAC system while driving, I presume it's in the engine
compartment. Rusty mentioned some valve, but I don't remember what he
called it.
3. When first driven when cold, the transmission won't shift from 1 to 2
unless the engine is revved above 3,000 RPM. I'd rather not have to
make it go that fast immediately and would prefer the trailing-throttle
upshifts it does after it's been driven a little while.
4. There's a rock hole in the left headlight lens. Did someone mention
plugging such with silicone caulk? How about a small piece of clear
packing tape?
5. There's a hole in the right front turn signal/marker lens. Kaleb, do
you have any of those?
6. Is it possible to run the HVAC system to get the same results as the
manual W123/240D system, with warm air out the footwells and cool air
out the upper vents? On a sunny, winter day, with a warm coat on,
that's what is really needed.
If anyone has any suggestions, please speak up!
Thanks,
Craig
