Headlight install HELPP!!!!
So I just got my W211 last week and I decided to go with the HID upgrade MOD... I'm doing just as told on the DIY Thread with the HID and I messed up on one part with removing the Coolant Reservior...
On the drivers side there is a small screw that holds the coolant reservoir in. Be careful removing it because it will disappear if you let it.
I was as careful as possible and I still manage to not only Rip the head off the screw but also loose it in the engine bay.(obviously I found it because I know that I ripped the head off)
But does anyone have a part number to this retaining screw? Can this be bought at an Autozone or some sort???
I hate having the coolant reservoir zip tied on there wobbling around...

On my '06 the screw is made of plastic. Go to the dealer and ask for one. The size/type is used other places throughout the car and it shouldn't cost you more then $1. They might even be nice and give it to you. Not a big deal....

There is. You have to press the reservior down into the grommet for a tight fit. If there is no grommet the reservior is able to move a little in the metal bracket. Again this compareing to an '06 E.

seems like I misplaced them... Is MB services the only place to get them?
