Sulphur smell from exhaust
Getting an intermittent sulphur smell coming out of the exhaust pipe on my 500, it' definetly coming from the burned exhaust gas. Anyone have a similar experience?
Thanks

I spoke to a MB tech in AZ and he told me they have had this problem with some S class cars and had to do one of the following:
1) Replace the cat
2) Replace the 02 sensor
3) New ECU (running too rich)
4) Bad gas with a high sulphur content made the problem worse
I"ve also been doing some checking on the net and have read that sometimes the problem goes away with time 2-3 thousand miles.

Yes I noticed it as well. So far it has only happened only twice. When I started driving. It was gone after I drove a few blocks.
RJC Thanks for that link it was very informative.
