took it to mechanic, they said "pillow block" was not off the car. looked like off a tractor or large truck. Started driving to work, car overheated, steam coming up from the lower/back side of the engine. Had it towed to mechanic. If it is not one thing it is another. swmbo says maybe its time for another car. I am hoping it is just hoses that cracked. The 100° heat does not treat the hoses kindly!!! I am renting a nice full size Ford, but I miss the benz. Will keep you updated.
