Hi friends,
Hope you’re all well!
yesterday my E350 4MATIC 2011 had a check engine light on while I was on the highway.
stopped at the nearest mechanic to do a scan, he did it and cleared code and I went on my way.
Today I noticed that hood release handle is loose.
anybody has ideas on it? I’m attaching a few pictures. It’s very though to go back to the same mechanic in the next couple of days due to work and it’s a little far away.
does it snap back into place? I’m afraid of forcing on it not to break it.
thanks a lot for your thoughts!
