Hello all,

There are two screws that hold the mass air flow sensor into the housing on
my 96 E320, I thought they were standard tamper proof torx screws, but there
not. Does anyone know what kind of screws these are and the head size?

Thanks,
Martin.

I think it is Torx #20 but could be wrong.  One thing is that you need the
security type of Torx head or whatever it is called.  These have a hollowed
out center in the Torx driver.  Home Depot and Lowes do not have them.  I
bought a set like this:

You may have to reconstruct the link.  I bought mine at Ace hardware for $13
because I didn't want to wait for shipping.  You need a screwdriver-like
handle with the socket end at the tip.  Most likely you have one but if you
don't you can pick up a cheap one at Ace for $2.
