I finally fixed the same problem with my e320.
After much frustration, I replaced the MAF sensor and now it runs great.
The part store is going through these in epidemic porportions and mercedes
is aware of the issue. To bad they won't step up to the plate and take care of these as a recall.
PO 173 fuel trim is a calculated failure of fuel/air mixture at various RPM's, and is not an indication of a component failure, so it was a bit tough to diagnose.
The other part is the camshaft position sensor. But the code for this failure is cut and dry with an OBDII tester.

I agree with you there changing to dyno mode is not advisable for everyone but you sure can lay down some rubber. I have changed my pully and upgraded my ecu, somewhere around 520hp ordered brabus headers and 20inch wheels,as well as ordered Renntechs larger airbox and throttlebody looking into some Cams to get me over the 600hp mark. I love my sleeper E55.
All the best

Yeah, all the supercharged 55 models do it. What you are hearing is the supercharger pulley engaging, and hence the "chirp".

I had my windshield replaced a while back and it was a routine job. No one said anything about disassembling the ww motor. Mine's a 1995.
 
I know what you mean about love/hate. When my rear differential went out and essentially canceled a holiday trip to Florida to see all my nieces and nephews and my parents together for the first time.....I lost faith. And the d*** thing goes through tires like nothing else I've ever owned. No repair is less than $500.
 
But, there's nothing like the feeling of being in that car on the highway and cruising, though. Taking I-85 through Atlanta, GA (a GREAT road) at 2 am going 100 miles an hour, with enough other cars doing the same to make you feel like you can get away with it for 10 minutes, that's a great feeling. I wouldn't feel safe doing that in many other cars. But in the Mercedes you feel like king of the road. Not in an aggressive or bad way, of course, because it's just a station wagon, but in a satisfied kind of way.

Hey, I was just wondering what kind of problems you have had. I plan on getting a 2002 E320 AWD soon. It will be my first MB.

Hello,
  
I own a 1995 Mercedes E320 that is on a streak of bad luck. first off the ac compressor just wenr out so no air conditioning for me and i live in texas. to add insult to injury it appears that i have no climate control what-so-ever. the car just blows heat when i drive it and i can't get it to shut off. i had to rig it underneath the hood by using some vise grips and crimping off the water hose leading to the heater core. this problem caused my ignition switch to fry out too. what cause this? has anyone here had the misfortune of dealing with such a problem? please help me diagnose this latest benz gremlin!!!
