I have a 2003 E500. I'm due for my next service soon according to the
maintenance minder system on the car. It says service G is due. I'll have
approx 47000 miles when due.
Does anyone know what is done or specified for this service? Have you had

I have a leaking steering box( at the steering column end) . My repair
manual says leave it to an MB dealer but has instructions for removal. I can
get a complete set of seals for about $15 and a rebuilt box for $400. My
skill level is that in the past I have rebuilt a Fiat Uno ...

Google, which I use daily for searches, has a Beta Usenet type site in
which our posts here are compiled with our posts to other Usenet sites.
So one can rather quickly see what someone is about, just by looking at
his or her Google assembled Usenet posting summary.

As I come more and more in contact with MBZ repair people I find two

Hi,   I have a 85 300 td wagon that we converted about 4 months ago to
run on straight vegetable oil, everything has been fine until the cold
weather set in and things got a little iffy.................So now we
have figured out the problem with the veggie system and now it is

Regular readers of this group might remember I had a problem with this unit
a while back, I ended up buying a replacement sensor "insert" from German
Star in Arizona. Unfortunately the first one didn't work, neither did the
second replacement unit, so I gave up and went and ...

i have a ’75 450se that sputters and once in awhile will just die.
Tried to restart but no go. Had to have it towed to a mechanic, and he
told me that the points in the distributor had fused together. He
cleaned them and adjusted the timing and the car ran great for 3 days.

... continuing trouble shooting of why my '89 sometimes just cuts out. Then
accelerates perfectly again.  I'd like to check my crankshaft position
sensor as 'one' possible reason for this.  Where the heck is it exactly?
Hate crawling around under the car in winter.

My 82 300CD-T takes a few cranks to spark up when cold, which doesn't
strike me as strange, but it sometimes stalls after starting. I don't
have any scientific evidence, but it seems to happen when the car has
been sitting in the sun for a while, rather than when it's cold out. It

I have a 300 SE (3.2 Litre petrol)1993

I want to rebuild the front end on my 1986 Mercedes 300SDL. I would
like to replace all bushings, ball joints, shocks, track rod
bearings/rubber etc....
I do not want to replace control arms etc - just install new bushings

i tested the fuel pressure at the fuel regulator and can only get a reading
of 30 to 32 lbs no matter where i turn the screw. i guess this means the
regulator is bad? can low fuel pressure cause flooding?

Premium is recommended for this vehicle. I keep the car the best I can
with regular oil change every 3,000 mile and it is in excellent shape.
So should I mess with regular gas....Premium cost a fortune!

I was out of comission in November so I probably missed your annoucement of
new car. My computer was fritzing out on me.

Started investigating a vacuum leak. I had temporarily plugged the yellow
tube in the engine compartment until I found it. I checked all the lock
modules and there is no dramatic leak. I was going to attempt applying
vacuum at the driver door valve but the diagram I have doesn't ...
