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'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
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.
I'm really sorry gentlemen, I wasn't subscribed to this.

The part that failed was A 278 200 05 31 SHUTOFF VALVE, it was original to the car. It is bolted to the rear of the left cylinder head behind the vacuum pump. It provides a female water outlet that the male heater core hose connects to. It has since been updated to A 278 200 21 52 FEED LINE after being superseded 3 times!!!
It seems to have failed from embrittlement caused by thermal/pressure cycling.
A 278 200 21 52 FEED LINE 220 AT REAR LEFT CYLINDER HEAD 001
A 278 200 08 31 SHUTOFF VALVE 220 AT REAR LEFT CYLINDER HEAD 001 Replaced by: A 278 200 21 52
A 278 200 06 31 SHUTOFF VALVE 220 AT REAR LEFT CYLINDER HEAD 001 Replaced by: A 278 200 08 31
A 278 200 05 31 SHUTOFF VALVE 220 AT REAR LEFT CYLINDER HEAD 001 Replaced by: A 278 200 06 31
Parts A 278 200 05 31, 06 31 and 08 31 are two pieces and fail at the seam right near the label.
A 278 200 21 52 (new part) (below) is one piece, thicker and is made from a different type of plastic.
Lastly, the heater hose from the outlet to the firewall has been updated to A 212 830 23 00.
