#1514 of 1520 oil extractor by vprosser Nov 10, 2009 (10:08 am)
im trying to do an oil change and I bought an oil extractor but no hose will fit into where the oil filter goes in. Any help or suggestions? Replies to this message: zq8 (Nov 11, 2009 5:42 pm) riddlebox (Nov 13, 2009 12:30 pm) zq8 (Nov 14, 2009 8:26 pm)

Replying to: vprosser (Nov 10, 2009 10:08 am) It is to be put in the dipstick tube. I would NOT do it that way if I were you. Just drain it, I do on mine. EASY. Replies to this message: riddlebox (Nov 13, 2009 12:30 pm) zq8 (Nov 14, 2009 8:26 pm)

Replying to: zq8 (Nov 11, 2009 5:42 pm) Why not? I know several Crossfire owners (including myself) that use the oil extractors. I know the big debate is that the extractors really don't remove all the gunk on the bottom of the pan, etc. But since I learned that all the Mercedes dealers are using the extractor, I figure that's O.K. with me.

#1518 of 1520 2004 Crossfire (positive) battery cable by bob_mcc Nov 21, 2009 (12:28 pm)
My wife's Crossfire would not start and the Spoiler extended when she turned on the ignition. I checked out the battery and found the positive lead at the battery was severely corroded, even to the point that the insulation had split and the stranded wires had greatly expanded. So, to disconnect the opposite end of the cable requires removal of a plastic shield.   The question is...how to disconnect the shield without damage?
#1519 of 1520 Replacing discharged battery. by xrossfire05 Nov 21, 2009 (7:29 pm)
After 4 years my battery (original from dealership) finally gave up.Trying to replace it I removed the two battery cables (positive, negative). That was easy enough, but when I started to remove the battery itself, I found that it was not coming out. I looked all around the battery and battery location and found no fastener or screws that was holding the battery down. Does any one have any idea on how to remove the battery from the car so I can replace it with a new one. The only hold down I saw was the one on top of the battery,but after removing it, the battery was still not budging. Any ideas what could possibly be holding the battery still. It's really stuck, and unmovable. Replies to this message: jas07 (Dec 02, 2009 11:47 am)

Replying to: xrossfire05 (Nov 21, 2009 7:29 pm) I just replaced my wife's 2006 Crossfire battery. Once you unbolt the top bracket and remove the positive and negative cables move the battery a bit forward. The OEM battery fits underneath a small hold-down.   You should be able to remove the battery at this point.   I purchased a new battery at SEARS. The replacement battery was shorter requiring a spacer to add height so the top retaining bracket would tighten. The replacement battery was about $130.00.
