Very nice upgrade, only downside is they currently only offer them for the updated steering wheels.

@sickSVT wow, up close that wheel has pretty stellar build quality. where can i order one? those shift pedals are pretty gnarly. do they click and shift a lot nicer than the factory setup?

They have a list of all of the steering wheels they're compatible with on their website.

Put another (200) miles of random country road driving on the odometer. Don't store these cars. They are too damn good to 'preserve' for later and someone else.

Got mine back on the road with an ESL emulator. I'd had my third no start close call recently and decided to go with the emulator. I also rebuilt the old ESL just in case, but it's not installed. It'll be a lot easier to install now that I know the routine.
I'll probably get one in advance for my wifes car too. And my Sprinter. It's cheaper than a tow.

Someone on the W204 forum had reported success with this ebay seller, so I used him as well: https://www.ebay.com/itm/233911940961
Super fast turnaround even during the holidays. Even responded quickly to a follow up email when I had feared it wasn't working. I found a blown fuse #19 before he had responded, but he still took the time to try to help me diagnose. Once the fuse was replaced it fired right up.

Got my AMG gas cap, very nice piece. Should make it a bit more enjoyable when pumping gas.

Changed trans fluid on my 2012.
Interesting to note the old fluid wasnt particularly dirty but it was amber in colour not blue like the replacement fluid, there was only a small amount of fuzz in the magnets but filter was genuine so unsure if had been done before.
When I saw that the old fluid was amber I decided to change the fluid twice by attaching new gasket but re-using old bolts at 4nm then driving 20 miles, taking the pan back off, dumping the fluid and refilling and now using new bolts torquing to final spec.
This has resolved 90% of the issues i believed were inherent to the transmission and tune.
It no longer takes 2 seconds to engage from park to drive after sitting for several days on first start and the shifts up and down are nearly auto gearbox good. Im actually amazed at how well this thing shifts and that i put up with it for so long since everyone seemed to say it was a jerky transmission. Previously it was like an ok manual driver was driving and now to my wife it’s undistinguishable from an auto box and to me its not quite auto box level but damn its a big improvement.

New power steering pump, and all pulleys and belt whilst I was at it.
Power steering pump removal not a fun job but reinstall a much quicker affair.
Belt and pulleys all in VGC with no indication of wear at 100K kms (60K miles). New parts installed anyway as better safe than sorry.
