Low level day for the most part. Bled the brake system on the E320 4Matic, so that’s done. So, so easy with the pressure bleeder. Fronts are a little tough with the wheels on as the bleeder screws face the inside of the wheel. Much easier to do with the front wheels off, but I made it work without taking them off.
E320 wagon had thrown another code a week ago, and I was afraid I was still dealing the EGR. Seems that the left rear O2 sensor was out of band occasionally. Ordered a replacement from the Island of Large Wimmen that came two days early. Nice! Got under the car after taking it for a drive so the exhaust was hot. Popped loose with minimal effort (I love Florida cars!!!) and put the new one in and torqued it down. Hopefully, that will make the brains happy again. While I had the car in the air I removed the inner wheel well panel on the passenger side. I’m convinced I have a vacuum leak in the ACC or PSE system I can’t trace down, so I wanted to check the vacuum reservoir that’s located in this area to see if it might be leaking. Found about 10 pounds of road detritus, like leaves and dirt, and cleaned that out. The vacuum reservoir was good and passed a leak test. Darn. The rest of the day was spent working on a means of suspending the oldest boy’s new “canoe” (I think it’s a kayak) from the garage ceiling for storage. Got some properly rated rope, some swivel pulleys, and a couple of eye bolts to do the job. All in all, a pretty productive day. -D _______________________________________ 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
