2007 E350
Hey Guys, new to the forum, just picked up an 08 E350

with P1, Sport, iPod, Bluetooth and Headlamp washers. Traded in my Audi for it, please don't ever let me leave the tri-star again!

Quick question: What are the cooling fins on top of the engine for? The ones that protrude through the engine cover.

Thanks in advance.
Rick

These are for the ECU (Electronic Control Unit) for the engine.

Ha ha! I had an Audi back in 2001, before my Benz, and I won't go back. Even though the S6 and RS4 look really sweet, they still treat you like a VW Jetta owner. It's just not the same.

Nice E350 and congrats! Post some pics!!
