That's only one half of it but a good thing to have IMO ~ the Wagon is fine but I keep ruining OM616 oil pans on my Coupe and never even notice when I scrape it....

I got home last night and crawled underneath with my flashlight to see how it looks after the cleaning , there's still lots of built up grease and crud in places I couldn't reach but it's a world better looking so I re installed the accessory engine bash plate , installed the wheels . fired it up and took it for a test drive to the car wash .
It stops on a dime again but feels ' funny ' ~ like maybe there's a vacuum leak or the booster is failing ~ if I pump the brakes several times the pedal comes up very high and rock hard but ZERO BOOST .
Allowing a few moments returns the boost , why I think there's a vacuum leak plus , the three and four way connectors don't grip the plastic pipes atall ~ I can easily pull the hard plastic pipes out and that's a bad thing .
Tom Hansen @ the Mercedes Classic Center of course sold me these service items so I'll try to replace all of them under the hood to - night , maybe that'll help .
It's nice to drive this European Spec. car ~ it's a real rocketship and yet has almost no smoke ~ only under full throttle when the turbo is fuly spooled up and the car is passing everything else on the road , no other time .
