Re: Mercedes E63S thread

Recentered myself. I did half a turn on the tie-rods and that was about right. It's SLIGHTLY off to the right (instead of to the left) but not worth another tweak. The driver's side jamb nut required heat to loosen. Actually I think I used heat on the right but it was definitely not squeaking like t...

Re: CLK550/E550 hunt for Adam

Things that would be left for Adam (aside from anything I didn't get to above): - Continue to investigate airbag module issues. Not sure if it would be as simple as an eBay module swap or what. The real concern is whether you have a functioning airbag system - you know, for safety. The light works ...

Re: CLK550/E550 hunt for Adam

For the missing seal at the battery/HVAC partition wall, try these numbers to see if they look right:
A1708310098 - nope, looks like the cowl seal
A2036281298 - can't find on eBay for photo
A2036281098 - cable duct seal so it has cut outs for round things

Re: Mercedes E63S thread

1 camber bolt installed (completing the set of 4 bolts, two camber, two caster). Unfortunately, the adjustment is only good for like 0.25 degrees which is about what happened. Went from that -2.7 to -2.5 or so. Max spec is -2.2 and it really wants to be more like -1.8. He thought maybe the strut was...

Re: CLK550/E550 hunt for Adam

It was coded as a convertible further suggesting that this ECU came from somewhere else. If it came from a 2007 CLK convertible that would explain both coding issues. So I set it to C209 (A209 would be the convertible). 20240525_070707.jpg 20240525_070713.jpg 20240525_070941.jpg There is a way to co...

Re: CLK550/E550 hunt for Adam

Things left to do for me: [X]- Check ECU coding/SW version because it might actually be the cause of the silent code for the heater shutoff valve (because it doesn't actually have one, hence open circuit) {X}- Maybe rubber cement the subwoofer spider? It was coded for the heater shutoff valve and I...

Re: CLK550/E550 hunt for Adam

More things. The heater shutoff valve is coded in but I don't think it should be. There is an update available for the ECU. The TCU is up to date. Codings attached for engine. Could disable that load jerk damping and torque limiting which are the two things I did on my S550 that woke up the throttle...

Re: CLK550/E550 hunt for Adam

Things left to do for me: [X]- Visually confirm P/N on coolant circ pump but I think the 203 one is correct. [X}- Check all four cam adjuster plugs and four cam position sensors for oil at plugs. The 203 number above is correct. 20240524_181546.jpg Checked CMPs and adjusters for oil. All CMPs are d...

Re: CLK550/E550 hunt for Adam

That's what you need. Same kit I bought for my S550. Your caps aren't leaking so you can decide to either replace them anyway or hang onto the new ones and lose them.
