Have a look at FCP Euro to match PN with your engine type for your new cam sensors

All the inventory was sold out during COVID break so I purchased my pigtails directly on eBay from USA shipper.

only the best 😂

Check eBay item #175761587187
these harness are truly disposable and work very well for what they are.
Good quality connections.

Unless you are running normal oil pressure, your ECU has no chance to time your fuel pump accurately. Tensioners just do their thing to run the engine in full factory compliance.

> Important, not Urgent:
The ECU is the No1 top VIP module.
It can only perform as well as Lambda + Tensioners let it.

A lot of ppl love sparkplugs and injectors replacements... ignoring simple Lambda + Tensioners as business secrets.

Just did the pcv valve tonight . I opted to give it a go from the top & it worked . However your hands will get chewed up as it is pretty tight in there . Removed high pressure fuel pump crash bracket & related stuff in that corner. It will come out through the top for any wondering. Good time to check the ecu as it's out anyway for oil residue (none here phew)

Hpfp's were right there may order those, along with the low pressure in tank . Add on find my passenger upper timing cover is leaking as well womp womp. Water pump & coolant lines are also in my wheelhouse this winter ha (coming up on 100k)

I know it's nuts. This is the only car I've owned that long. I'm only sitting on 78K miles though.

I've been daily driving it since 2018 when I dumped my S class and Pcar.
Still have extra HRE's too that I can't sell.
Not sure what happened to vic55

My other car drives itself
Left me stranded for the first time in 8 years/50,000 miles of ownership. I'm at 98,000 miles now.

On my way home at 1 AM the heater outlet valve on the back of the left cylinder broke and puked a bunch of coolant while I was on the freeway. I pulled off quickly and pulled into a gas station that was closed. Called AAA and had them tow it back to my shop. Apparently that valve has been updated by Mercedes three times. They actually get rid of the valve and replace it with a stronger standard fitting (no valve).

I'm going to go ahead and change that as well as ALL of the remaining plastic parts in the cooling system, do all of the 100k mile recommended updates, 100k service and do the timing chain and tensioners while I'm there.

Frustrating. Plastic in the cooling system... 🤦‍♂️

I still love it and will never sell it, but it shook my confidence in the car a little. I'm just glad it happened to me and not my wife.
