I just purchased a 1999 C230K.  The coolant is a greenish color.  I'm used to
seeing MB's with a Tan colored coolant.  Has MB changed this, or do I have the
wrong coolant?

I recently replaced the master cylinder and the two rear brake
calipers on my '83 300d.
When I installed the master cylinder I goofed and put washers between
the brake booster housing and the nuts that secure the 2 cylinder

I've seen some E320's advertised as "S" or Sport rather than "W".  What is
the difference?
Thanks.

Well, I've opened up the drivers door and here's my problem. What I've
called door just gives some frame of reference for what I've called bolt 1.

During my annual Pennsylvania inspection... I was told that I have at least
two transmission fluid leaks: 1) the pan gasket 2) servo seal. They are

For the last month or two, the stereo (premium harmon/kardon with 6-disc
changer and without COMAND system) in my 04 E320 has been acting strangely.
Occasionaly, it would seem to 'crash' like a computer (screen freezes in
place, buttons don't respond, etc.). If I restarted the car, ...

According to the seller of this car, 280E Mercedes are pretty rare in the
