E 350 service cd by wbrownejr
Dec 29, 2008 (7:57 pm)

Hi,
 
I have a 2006 E 350 that I bought in July. I want to do my own repairs on small things vs going the dealer and I was thinking about buying the cd from MB for $115. Has anyone tried this cd or are there any other options out there.
 
Many thanks.

$115 for a MB repair CD does not sound expensive. You can check on E-bay to see what is out there.
 
I would pay the $115 and get the OEM CD vs. copied ones your find on E-bay that could be missinf files or sections.

Ignition key problEm by mb1998

My wife's 1998 E320 has been great. Couple days ago the key stopped working in the ignition. At the same time the remote sensors stopped working . Tried changing the battery but it did not correct the problem, and I did not think changing the battery would have anything to do with key turning the ignition on. Any ideas?

Valve cover gaskets by catdriver

I have the extended warranty for a 2003 E320. Does anyone know if the extended M-B warranty covers replacement of the valve cover gaskets? .The warranty language covers "cylinder head gaskets and internally lubricated seals and gaskets". Thanks in advance.

If the extended warranty covers " Engine gaskets", your valve cover gasket is a part of the warranty and must be covered.
 
On my 2001 E430, it cost $320 to replace the driver side valve cover two-piece gasket. They gave me a $480 bill first until I started taking apart their bill.
 
Let them know that you have read your warranty and have searched other engine part warranties and are aware that this is covered before they tell you it is not.

You may have a no cost option as close as your public library. My library has manufacturer service manuals as well as on site access to All Data online database. It has saved me the expense of purchasing the manuals for the occasional repairs I have to do.

Thanks Joe. I took the car in, and the extended warranty covers the valve cover gaskets. However, the dealer says the oil is only misting out and must be actually dripping onto the exhaust. In other words, my problem is not bad enough to warrant a replacement of the gaskets. My extended warranty is good 'til Jan., 2010, so I'm going to monitor the situation and either take the car back to them in a few months or take to the other MB dealer here.. When I asked them how much oil leaking is too much, the response is that it must be dripping. I may also contact MB hdq here in the US to get another opinion.

I love these people.....A misty oil is a leaky oil. Mine was dripping on the exhaust and was smelling. I put a folded oil absorbant pad over the leaky corner and put the engine cover over it. It has stopped the dripping but was gradually soaking the pad.
 
Just go back in a few weeks and tell them the smell of oil bothers you and it is NEVER a good idea for oil to drip or mist over hot exhaust. The oil could catch on fire whether it is a drip or a mist.
