A wavetrac is about 1250, plus bearings and seals. Finding a good rear end
shop to do it cheap is a challenge in LA. I swapped it myself and the

price I didn't want to order one and then have to

No, they came with a 2.24 in the US. 2.65 in Europe. The 500e came with a
2.82, but it starts in 2nd gear. The e420 starts in 1st gear due to the
tall 2.24 diff. Switch that to a 2.82 and you suddenly have a lot of wheel
torque 0-50 mph or so in 1st gear. Feels a bit like an electric car off the

In the “winter” here in Florida I’ll run 0W-40 if I’ve got a change coming up.
In the summer months I might run 15W-50.

this week and noticed the oil pressure is low at idle. It is only halfway
