I got the new wheel speed sensor on the ML. Was easier to get at the connector by taking off the wheel well liner. Kinda glad I did, there’s huge amount of crap up behind the lower rear part of the fender I’ll hose out of there. It amazes me the engineers still design these hidden rust inducers

Coolant tanks and power steering reservoirs are common sources of leaks on these and the parts are surprisingly cheap. I’ve got a new reservoir for the AZ ML350 just for cosmetics but I haven’t swapped it out yet. -D > On Nov 12, 2022, at 8:44 AM, Floyd Thursby via Mercedes > wrote: > > The

The overflow nipple on the coolant tank was leaking on the ML500 so I ordered a new one (surprisingly inexpensive, $35 I think) and put it on the car yesterday.  It was not a hard job except for those spring clamps on a couple of the hoses that were hard to reach.  I think I might put some JBWe

You should trade it in for a W123 wagon. I changed my 300TD spheres and it was way easier. Lots of room and easy access. On Sun, Apr 3, 2022 at 3:18 PM Jim Cathey via Mercedes < mercedes@okiebenz.com> wrote: > > Getting things back together was a whole nuther story. > > IIRC the secret is to get

I have the SL600 in sick bay for various work.  It's up on blocks and jackstands with the wheels dangling. I decided yesterday to swap out the rear accumulators for the hydraulic suspension.  Watched some utuber vids and read some posts in BW, didn't look too hard.  I started about 11A finishe
