[MBZ] Misc work on the 04 E500
I’ve been prevented from doing much with the former Floyd E500 as I had rotator cuff surgery about 3 and a half weeks ago. But today I changed the cabin air filter under the hood, was able to do that one-handed. There was a fair amount of accumulated pine needles, tree seed pods, and general muck in the space below it, which I sucked out with the shop vac. Also replaced the broken engine air intake flex tube on the right side. Removed the front piece of the engine cover, which is cracked, and JB welded it. If that doesn’t hold I’ll shop for a replacement on the bay of fleas. Removed the rear piece of the engine cover and will replace the engine air filters and reinstall tomorrow. ___ 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
