New Pelican Project Car W204 C350!
We have acquired a W204 C350 and would like to know what fixes YOU would like us to do as we continue to work on it. Are there any projects that you wish you had a step by step instructions for? Even simple things like oil changes, light bulb changes, jacking up the car, etc. Let us know your suggestions below.

I heard rumors about being able to turn the esp completely off (besides the one button in the center dash) but I never ended up getting an answer.

When we get to the electronics of the vehicle we can take a look at it and let you know.

There are a lot of other how-to's out there but one I haven't come across is a power steering fluid (PSF) flush/replacement. I don't buy into the idea that PSF is a lifetime fluid. MB seems pretty good at changing most important fluids on a schedule but PSF isn't one of them.

Brake system flush would be very helpful.

And add more interest for the Steering lock issue.

Thanks for taking this on -- you ship parts to me pretty regularly as a result of your willingness to assist (both MB and Mini).

Jacking up the car, not at the 4-corner factory jacking points but central jacking to get two wheels at a time up in the air.
