Yes, I'm having some of those issues with the E500, the passenger side blows cold but the driver's side much less so, until the whole car cools down. The refrigerant charge is good. I think there's a stuck or broken blend door or diverter, because also on the passenger side I get constant cold a

Not a fan of the paint job, it doesn't show off the styling well, but it does look like it was done fairly well.  With the ABC delete I think Porches and Ferraris will leave it spinning off the corners if it tries to follow them. A buddy came over Sunday in his Mini Cooper S ragtop he just got

I ran a VIN check, it looks like that car might have been sold for $3,995 in late 2017. So, the PO basically sold it for what he paid for it. I had a look over the car. Pretty good overall condition. • Vacuumed leaves and dirt out of firewall area. • Checked TCM for oil wicking.

Re: [MBZ] Son's E320

That car has a 722.6 which can leak around the conductor plate connector at the transmission, then fluid can wick up to the TCM which is under the dash.  You can pull the connector and look at it or open the TCM housing to see if it is greasy. The oil can cause various issues if it contaminates
