Hi,

Guys i need your help !

I have 2001 S500 with around 80k on it. a while ago my check engine light came up. I checked whats the problem and local shop said that i need new AIR FLOW SENSORS. They priced me at 400. Dont get me wrong i can pay no problem but as soon as u come to shop and they see u drive benz all prices a at least doubled right away. I just dont want to over pay
I was wondering if anybody know if i can do it my self? and where is those sensors located
And one more question i want to change my wiper blades. Does anyone know if i can buy regural ones in local store or do i need to by the OEM ones from Dealership. Maybe anyone knows any internet site where i can get them from

Thank you

If you need A MAF... here ya go. and it is easy to change.. If not buy this and take to someone other than a dealer and they should charge maybe 20 to 60 bones to do it...so it should cost 169.00 + 60 = 229.00 or do it yourself for 169.00
