Thanks again for your time

It looks like the photos you took are from the easy to see sides. The CPS is located in the rear section of the engine in most MB cars I have seen.
You should be able to barely stick your hand between the engiine and the firewall. Try asking a mechanic to point it out for you.

So, for $60 and 15 minutes of your time you guys were able to fix this. How much would a dealership have charged? Curious....

$$$ + hours of time lost yaking and picking up car + possible scratches bumps by mechanics who don't care.
