Repair-It

Things left to do for me: - 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) - Visually confirm P/N on coolant circ pump but I think the 203 one is correct. - Poke around to s...

Right door handle: A2117601270
As I suspected, I think this Keyless Go system is right out of the W211.

Can't find any. Would have to look into taking the handle apart and replacing the microswitch. Or ignore because the driver's side one works.

Accomplished a few more tasks. Diagnosed the coolant circulation pump. It's dead. Needs a new one. It would be used for the rest feature if this car even has that, but also it runs at idle to boost coolant flow through the heater core. Not needed in Florida.... 20240522_191025.jpg It's this 203 numb...

Added a can. It is not hot enough to know if it is at 100% capacity but it definitely had a very split temp across the vents before I added the can and it seems fine now. That was about 10 months if I am not mistaken.

More quick thoughts on the car. I do like driving it. I think it reminds me of my E55. It has that more airy 90s greenhouse. Plus the naturally aspirated engine response sort of reminds me of my E55 (not as violent but a lot of that torque at any RPM feel is there, plus the "OMG how fast are we...

Moar pics. Look at all the Mercedes products. 20240521_181203.jpg 20240521_181218.jpg 20240521_181230.jpg 20240521_181241.jpg 20240521_181324.jpg 20240521_183801.jpg 20240521_183818.jpg Investigated the rear sub rattle. Same issue my S550 had (I guess this is an H/K thing). The spider detached from ...

I like it. Also the vibration on the highway, weird rubber noises in the parking lot and wheel bearing noises are all gone. Plus, the terminal oversteer is gone. I am really making some progress here. What it needs now is the front wheels, matching PSS, and new struts. That is another several grand ...

Yes especially with cheap pads.

Now look up OEM at Warwick. Mercedes Benz parts shop.com. OEM is almost always cheaper there than FCP. Local pickup or ship. Here, OEM is $145: https://www.mercedesbenzpartsshop.com/oem-parts/mercedes-benz-thermostat-2722000615?c=Zz1jb29saW5nLXN5c3RlbSZzPXdhdGVyLXB1bXAmbD0zJm49QXNzZW1ibGllcyBQYWdlJm...
