so I'm trying to decipher what Service D means - other than 4 hours of work

I looked up the codes on the ECU and found Service 1,4,9,12,14
which are these?

You'd think I'd understand this by now....

I sad just about to post something similar. I have E service, with about a dozen codes. I know the items to do, however they aren't straight forward and I'd like some clarification. I'll find the service sheet for yours though (US spec)

Thats a great pdf! However all the services are also expained in your cars servicebook.

ok so it seems

1: check wheels, brakes - those are good already
4: replace dust filter - assuming that's my K&N?
9: check bodywork and chassis load bearing parts and replace brake fluid
12: oil change
14 (big list but seems like stuff my SA always checks): check leaks, aux-battery, v-belt, hood latch, fluid levels in brakes, power steering, check wipers, saftey-belts, reset service indicator, parking brake check, tires check, brake pads, tire air pressure, leaks, axles, rubber boots, battery test)

so I pretty much only need to do the brake fluid - whew! LOL

Dealer will charge $500 just to "Check" !

Count yourself lucky that so much information is available for those cars in U.S. Spec. I have a few codes to do, but in my service manual it has a couple of them doubling up - replacing spark plugs twice, air filter twice, and it is also asking for my fuel filter (which in australia says it is 250km/15 years), however I'm only at 130/9 so unsure why it is asking for it! The problem I face is that the service manual is written for all E class cars, not just the 55. So, I'm thinking other cars have replaceable filters, and maybe it is just an odd code to throw?

I'm buying ZT 2 gear next week so should help with determining if AFR are okay and that I'm not leaning out due to starvation at least.

Dustfilter is the cabin filter underhood

right above the AUX battery - right?
