How much clearance
I changed a 123's oil without jacking it up at all. Oil pan drain bolt was
in front, made drainage a snap.
On my 124, drain bolt was on the side of the pan, so it's just about as
easy.

The first time I changed the transmission fluid, some
18K miles ago, I brought the car to the local
dealership. They not only overtorqued the pan, but
overfilled by 2 quarts. I supsected they didn't drain
the converter

That inline filter you talk of is a vacuum switch. leave it alone.
And my front noise encapsulation panel is missing. Made changing the oil
really simple
The front panel overlaps the rear, and without the front one installed, the
rear hangs down a bit and is more susceptible to damage.

Just replace what you drain. I haven't done the ATF or rear diff yet, and

Larry - the dealers are almost all using topsiders these days as it saves
fooling around
What sound panels? Under the engine/tranny where I'll be working to
change
201, 124 and 126 diesels (and probably all newer ones too) have
belly pans under both the engine and transmission areas. They reduce
the sound transmitted outside the car considerably. To the point
where it's a bit
, and that there's no corrosion starting
under the battery area.
There, have I covered the questions??

Larry - you have a lot of ground to cover in your questions!
First, the 124 2.5 Diesels have (in my case) 2 sound panels
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.
-- Jim
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...
