Re: Please, assist! A bolt was missing from the oil cooler of a 2012 MLI 350 CDI V6.

Hey there, buddy!

Re: OMG Is anyone aware

Someone "reliable" told me that if you purchase a new Mercedes on the anniversary day, you will get it for free. :rolleyes:banana: No need to pre-order; simply show up and request the 28/29 deal. Do not let too many people know about it because they may cancel it 🤬.

Re: "When I was a boy".........

There was a time when many of the modern conveniences found in automobiles were completely novel. In my early years as a driver, I often saw the word "Heater" stamped across the windscreen of passing vehicles. I no longer need the trusty Esso road map; modern conveniences like as heated se...

Re: W203: Possible causes of the rear main oil seal leak

Re: W203: Possible causes of the rear main oil seal leak

It's "normal"—a known weakness—and it's likely older than mileage on your vehicle. Mine was completed some time ago. Purchasing genuine MB parts—especially the plate with the seal already installed—rather than simply the seal alone is the only way to accomplish it correctly. You don't ment...
