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.

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