Performanceproducts4benz sells replacement parts and accessories, depending upon model. Also, MBCA members receive a discount. Full disclosure: I do not belong to MBCA.

Latest issue of the MB Star magazine covers this subject. The article stated that ONLY MB coolant is to be used because of the complexity of the differant components in the system.Also do not use "works with any system" type of coolant.
 
If you want to keep on top of the latest info recommend that it is a good idea to join MBCA. Only $45 per year.

Back in June you posted that you liked Yoko tires. Am in the market for my 2005 CDI.What type of tire did you refer to? Need an all season tire. If anyone else has a recommendation would appreciate the input.

How about trying a few local junk (er, recycling) yards..
 
Oh, sorry, MB's don't wear out, do they...!! But there must be one or two someplace that had accidents!!!

Oil Level Warning on 03 by zeen

My 03 E320 was giving me a message that my oil level was too high. It occurred whenvever I was driving at highway speeds. My local MB mechanic replaced the sensor because he was convinced that it wasn't overfilled. The new sensor did the same thing, so we let out about a half quart of oil but the message persists. It says I need to reduce the oil level. Seems like it's the sensor but you would think the new sensor would not be doing this. Any thoughts?

Yes, it's possible for a new sensor to give a false reading high or low, either way and the ECU can even fail to record data and on rare occassion send faulty codes. Perhaps the "black box" data in the computer can see if the engine ever red-lined.......Good luck!

Thanks. Out of curiosity, what does redlining have to do with the sensor saying that I have too much oil?

SOS Malfunction by zeen

My 03 E320 is registering a malfunction message due to the lack of connection of the Tele-Aid system. I do not have that enabled. Is there a way to permanently have that message go away?
(As you can tell, I've had a number of issues with this car. A Chevy would have been more trouble free)

"...A Chevy would have been more trouble free ". When I was debating whether to buy a 03-04 or 00-02 E-Class, The MB service adviser indirectly said to go with 00-02. The 2003 E-class has had way too many nagging issues. In my mind, it is one of the most beautiful four door sedans out there....but it stop right there. Pretty to look at, but to stay away from and look at it from a distance.
 
My 2001 E430 with 91K miles has been very decent for 18 months that I have owned it.

Purposely did not buy a 2003 but did buy a 2005 (CDI). It is loaded with about every option and have had no problems.
