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.
#1079 of 1094 Re: Valve cover gaskets [jodar96] by catdriver Feb 26, 2009 (5:41 am)
Replying to: jodar96 (Feb 18, 2009 8:41 am) 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.

Replying to: catdriver (Feb 26, 2009 5:41 am) 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.   Joe

#1082 of 1094 2004 E500 4Matic - Question by RWCooper Mar 31, 2009 (12:17 pm)
Has any experienced a noise similar to a wheel 'rubbing' when making turns (forward or reverse). A authorized Euro-car mechanic suggested rolling down windows to determine if the noise can be pin pointed, but the noise was not noticable with the windows down... only when in the closed cabin. I'm unsure if it is just the noise of the tire (newer performance tires) tread design as it grips the road surface when turning or if there is a potential problem with the wheel struts or in the transfer case. The car has about 81k miles on it so I'm sensitive to parts wearing out due to this point in the maintenance life. Any help on this would be appreciated. Thanks.

Replying to: RWCooper (Mar 31, 2009 12:17 pm) Did you just get those sticky new tires? If yes, I bet it's just normal/expected tire noise you are hearing. A possible test to help confirm that is to try the exact same turns on iciest/wettest surface you can find. Or maybe off pavement - on grass or dirt.

#1085 of 1094 Cabin temperture control by wingman9 May 10, 2009 (6:55 am)
92=300E 3.0 Anyone out there know what sensor or computer part I must change or reset to get a correct outside temp reading on the dashboard temp sensor? The temp now stays at 136 degrees F, and the airconditioning is continually trying to compensate.
#1086 of 1094 Broken Telematic mast by jodar96 Oct 05, 2009 (6:25 am)
The telematic mast on my 2001 E430 broke while going through my reputable carwash.   This is the only auto carwash I ever use, so I don't know if the mast was getting old and developing cracks or they have modified the carwash brushes.   The piece costs whopping $155 from local MB. That is the painted base and mast with the gaskets. Does anyone know of a site that has lower prices.   I found one on E-bay that has the base gasket and a black mast. I would like to get the original painted piece.   Thanks, Joe Replies to this message: rayg20 (Oct 11, 2009 1:53 pm) kevinc5 (Oct 16, 2009 5:23 pm) jodar96 (Oct 17, 2009 8:36 am)
