This means the engine wiring harness, the short piece of the wiring

I'll note if you have a early W140 transmission (pre 95? non-

out they don't have
any in stock, thus require your core to rebuild it at their approved

Two suggestions: (1) Use a garden hose to flush the heater core and (2)

If you flush the engine block, don't mix the coolant. Just add the

I wouldn't say that it's really all that quiet, but I was

That enclosure works, to be sure.
In addition to the excellent advice you've already received - there is
