IIRC, the WIS docs call for removing the PS fluid reservoir, but I have heard some people able to replace the solenoid without doing that. Either way, it's a fairly easy DIY. Oh, and if you want a good set of "external Torx" sockets, take a look at the Sears Craftsman Universal Max Access tools:

"IIRC" is shorthand for "if I remember correctly" and WIS = Workstation Information Systems, i.e. MBZ's shop manual. You can get an "unofficial" copy on eBay for about $30 or so. That thing next to the oil filter is the cooler.
Here are the docs:

Thanks Rodney!
I finally got around to replacing the camshaft magnets you said were causing my P00015 error code. After replacing them, I went to my indie and had him reset the CEL. After 2 weeks to allow the system to reset, I took the car into the emissions station and passed with flying color…no errors!
The forum has saved me lots of headaches and dollars over the years. I just wish something like this was around in the 70's when I was attempting to make my '65 xke convertible pristine. I was lucky to be able to search out a few mechanics to run a question by, but that was always a hassle.
I was looking at the automatic cabriolet opener…that might be my next project.
Thanks again.

GEN MERCEDES CAMSHAFT MAGNET
Genuine Mercedes Part can be had for under $30 on Amazon.
Hi,
I received the code a few days ago and have 2 questions.
1) does having these "bad" sensors/magnets in my car affect performance?
2) does anyone have a link where I can buy them cheaper than AutoZone? They want like $56 a piece for these and I need 4.
Thanks all!
Kyle.

Just FYI to all, I decided to change my magnets a second time. I would get a P0012 code here and there once the oil would get dirty after about 3k-4k miles (Sometimes would get a P0022 as well). My mechanic advised me there is a second updated part number for these magnets so am hoping this will solve my issue. The newest part number is 272-156-00-00.
