Congrats! I'd love to see a list of what you have fixed, particularly in the suspension... I'd love to get 150k on mine!

Well here is the quick rundown

Bought the Car in 2011 with 77k on the clock.
New ABC Pump 4 (YES) Days later.
I Flush the Tranny every 30k
Mobil Euro Formula every 10k
Replaced Supercharger Oil and Diff Oil at 100k (gotta do it again soon)
Rebuilt the front suspension twice
AC Compressor replaced about a year ago
ABC Pump AGAIN 1 year after the first one (First one was done at Mercedes and even though they charged me for it my Indy who did the second pump showed me the fluid and it was almost black, so im thinking mercedes didnt change it)
The second pump is now 80k in it and i replace the fluid and filter every 40k
Pump is still strong (130+ bar in rodeo)
I did the Motor mounts twice and the tranny mount about 8 times (They SUCK)
Gas Filter replaced twice
I did the plugs 70k ago along with new wires and i have new plugs in my garage that i will do this weekend.
I also did the rear subframe mounts a few month ago because they were torn
Supercharger Pulley bearing about two years ago
hhmm.... i think thats it....OHHH....of course LOTS of REAR TIRES

The ABC Pumps and AC compressor were done for me....everything else i have done myself

I do have a star system

Well....thats it....hope that helps

Congrats! Where did you get your Star Diag system?

I do a lot of maintenance but never get to peek into any diagnostics or DTCs beyond what my OBD2 scanner tells me.

I have a feeling that getting to 200K will require SD.

Do you have a thread on the forum discussing how you got it?
