How common is it for these to develop a pinhole leak and spray a fine stream?
I suddenly started feeling a lot more of the road and lo and behold, my hood pad had a spot saturated with ps fluid. I initially attempted to patch it with a small piece of flashing held on with a beefy worm-gear clamp, but the hose then showed a blister that split the flashing at the edge of the clamp. I ended up cutting a 2" long piece of 3/4" plastic conduit, then cutting about 1/4 of it away so I could snap it on over the flashing and then clamp it all. (I figure the conduit is acting as a hernia belt...) It now just has a very occasional drop form instead of a stream... I'm ordering a hose, but I figure that will keep it drivable until it arrives. Otherwise it looks like the hose is easy to change (compared to a w210...) I'm also getting a new filter and doing a fluid flush as well... -- John W Reames jream...@verizon.net Home: +14106646986 Mobile: +14437915905 _______________________________________ http://www.okiebenz.com To search list archives http://www.okiebenz.com/archive/ To Unsubscribe or change delivery options go to: http://mail.okiebenz.com/mailman/listinfo/mercedes_okiebenz.com All posts are the result of individual contributors and as such, those individuals are responsible for the content of the post.
