Are you sure it even HAS one ?

A cold start valve is a part that does exist, but perhaps not on a W211 car.

I had never noticed one on my car - I may be blind - and EPC just shows the fuel rail with ports for 6 injectors (E320, 2004) and no port or cold start valve. A cold start valve is a special kind of injector and would be on the fuel rail somehow, I would expect.

Lately I have been smelling gas when I start up. It was suggested that I might be a faulty "cold start valve". I did check the obvious places that's why I am seeking your help.

So, the issue is a suspected leak(because you smell something) in the low and high pressure fuel delivery system---fuel lines, filter, injection pump,bla bla

That being the case----uncover the fuel rail and then have your girl friend start the car and while in N, revs the engine while you look for the supposed leak.

The fuel smell is mainly at startup, I will check for leaks.

Tku.
