*Update*Engine too high" cant Access or remove cover for spak Plugs or air filter
Does Anyone else have a super tall asz motor in their engine bay....mines is so high there is no clearence enough to manually remove or clip back on retaining clip on the back...the crap is so bad i cant even remove safely the darn last cover that holds the air filters and now to make matters worse the retainer clip is nowhere to be seen when i wiggled the cover back on....
*i think they remade the motor mounts on this vehicle before me ..and thats why it might be so high* this is bullcrap

*Update* had to remove an upper cover being hold by 4 screws tgat would allow the removel of a plate where the weather strips are being held...unlike the *ML* Class this has to be done in order for you to get back there...the ML doesnt have this making it more easy to do....So there you have it ..remove these bolts and there you go...you can "Tune-up" by changing your Spark Plugs and air filter yourself" .......

I squeezed my hands and scratched my head for about 1/2 hour until I noticed those four bolts!
Air filters and cabin air filter are all under there as I remember. Did it last November, and I'm old so don't remember.
