2002 C230K, 6spd with too many options
Pls. post Spark plug How-to for 230K...
Hi--
I've read several postings about this--Other threads have advised me on which plugs to buy and even why, but there are apparently a few benzes which _do_ require the custom benz-plug-removal tool (or, at least, it makes the job much easier), and I hope someone who's done the dirty deed can tell me whether/not they found that to be the case on there babies (mine's the hatchback, _not_ the 40k roadster)
? Of course, I'd sure apprecitate any tips.
I'd also apprecitate a dig. photo of the accessed area, and/or the step-by-step of what I remove to best access the plugs. Is this an operation that's best done from underneath?
I was pretty slick on my VW's, but I will not, repeat, will NOT be offended by newbie-descriptions like the "red cover over the engine." This w/b the first time I've had the pleassure to explore the raw beauty that is... Mecedes!
I've got the plugs, anti-seize, plenty of standard wrenches and deep-sockets (including Met Wrench), and wheel-ramps if they're needed.
Thanks in advance.
