You're welcome. Still adding to the list so I believe the brake fluid is still waiting to be done. I'll also be sure to check on that steering lock issue.

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).
We just finished the article for the steering lock issue. It will be up and available for viewing after the New Year, but wanted to let you both know that we will have one for it.

Here is the W204 on the lift getting the last few articles done. As you can see we currently have the rear axles out and are attacking other suspension DIY's right now. :smile

Transmission fluid drain/flush would be useful.

BTW Pelican you've been my go-to for so many things for my longhood 911 that I'm glad to see you doing things for my DD as well. Thanks!

I need to change the lower grill on my C300. I've read some posts that indicate you must remove the bumper cover and others that state you don't need to do that.

Could you create an article on that?

Thanks

How about servicing the sunroof (lubircating).

Changing the serpentine belt/pulleys etc.

Coolant service? Although I feel it's probably just like any other car.

Rear differential service?

How to change transmission and engine mounts?

We are doing the sunroof one right now. We will offer the part numbers for the MB specific lubrication as well as an alternative, more cost efficient lubrication. We have a Coolant Flush and Replacement live on the site now. I will add the differential and mounts to the list.

Hello! One for that specific removal isn't there. However, if you go to our bumper cover removal article that will help you with the removal. Once you get the bumper off the grille is removed by simply unclipping the plastic tabs that hold it into place. There should be about 18 tabs holding it to the valance. Let me know if you have any questions.
