it seems like everyones tests show good to at least 15k, so it would
seem logical that unless somebody has a really screwed up car, they can
safely go to 10 or 15k with M1 with no testing, since it has already
been proven many times before by other people.

The problem hasn't manifested its self again, but I'm going to do a

The front panel overlaps the rear, and without the front one installed, the
rear hangs down a bit and is more susceptible to damage.

That inline filter you talk of is a vacuum switch. leave it alone.
And my front noise encapsulation panel is missin
Sounds like a plan. The SDL passed the 10k test with flying colors,
and is headed towards the 15k re-test.

I'll find out this coming weekend - going to change the oil in the '90
300D 2.5. It will be the first one since I took responsibility for
it's care and maintenance. I have to decide whether to get an analysis
of the old oil before I switch it to Mobil 1.

Thanks Werner!
Yeah, I've always liked just having outside air flow through into the cabin
without bothering to use the juice to run a fan.
It seems that Mercedes thinks that if you can afford the car you won't care
that you ALWAYS have a fan running if you want any air at all...

How do I open the climate control so I can get outside air - no
heat or
cool - just outside air?
The EC position (no AC compressor), on MIN temperature (no heating).
That's as close as it gets.
