limited slip?
so, i flip my esp/abs switch to my full off position (same as pulling the fuse) and the car spins both rear tires and leaves rubber with both... and i'm thinking... weird
I jack the entire rear end of the car up and you can't spin one of the wheels without the other spinning...
I bought the car from a fellow minnesotan with a decent number of miles on it (i was the third owner).
what's back there?

oh, sorry.
I think it's been established that that part doesn't exist, hasn't it?
I didn't realize you were doing anything more than making fun of me in those posts...

You will be made fun of if you leave yourself open for it. Even if our stories aren't full holes, you will be poked.
So, Obviously you didn't get a W211 E55 maf, so what did you get? Maybe you stumbled on something, I haven't accused you of anything too serious yet, unless your admitting the maf thing is complete b.s..
On your diff question, if you have the transmission in neutral, parking brake released, if when you turn a rear wheel the other tries to turn opposite, it's open, the same it has som sort of traction aid.

i suppose that's a simple way to look at it- wonder what's up with my car
The maf i got is a w210 maf or something. It does have a different insert than the C43, but the same size housing. I have a maf scaler and can log the maf voltage readings etc.- it reads slightly lower at the same rpms.

Part #'s mercedes 113 094 00 48, Bosch number 0 280 217 810. If it doesn't have these then it's not right and you'll have one more problem to deal with.

I would not take a chance,just get the correct MAF from MB and be done with it.

statements like that.You like to be real vague with the details and still don't like to answer questions, maybe everyone should give you minimal, vague, general, no detail info. without corrections and warnings just like you have/haven't provided.
Good luck!

1. so far as i've been around this fourm, they certainly do!
2. i didn't realize it was anything anyone else cared about
3. this maf insert is scaled differently than the one that was stock in my c43 (so far as my pretty-unscientific research has shown) and it has a different part number than my stock insert or my replacement insert i ordered online. I believe you are right that they are all the same housing (really, i know nothing about benzes in general) but it would make sense that the inserts are different between different engine sizes etc.
4. my vagueness in posting and lack of posting further knowlege is not because i'm trying to hide anything from anyone- i'm just a guy who sort of knows how to build a decent ford or subaru motor who is trying to make some power out of his m113 (and having to wade through a lot of crap and incomplete information). I promise that i will post the solutions to the problems that i've had if anyone else goes down a similar path.
