He said he found the center cool with his heat detector yesterday
He didn't tell me that yesterday but obviously the new radiator has made a difference
ITs not 80 but 95 is OK


He was more than fair with his price.

Singing Enriques praises over here!!!!!

I'm sorry I didn;t bring him Krispy Creme doughnuts or something
but I will bring him something...

I'll just stop by


I just wanted to get there & back before the traffic got Friday heavy
It was a lil stop & go in places
but car stayed under 100
All pressure even at still idle never went below 1 1/2


It's idleing about 650
The dash clicking is gone

OOOOhhhh it really drives well
Smooth as silk
WOW

Wait til it gets a major service

I got new
Motor mounts
20W50
New thermo
think sending unit
Behr radiator
Coolant & I'd assume MB coolant
I certainly wouldn;t expect him to put anything else
He lubed the door it works
Straightened the exhaust pipe & secured
Its the darn steep driveway
I hit it on the way out yesterday
Angle wasn;t just right
Arrrghhh

I came in ok but its hard to get it right sometimes

Even tucked up the headliner
Bless his heart
All for under $1000...parts were almost 3/4 of the price.

OOOh for window washer
any fluid is OK
He recommends water

He also said I would be ok with my charging of the battery
just can't do it with too big amperage
10 was ok
I'm glad I was hoping I didn't short a ground or something

That is just great!!!

Before I say ahh, he just took pity 'cause you were a girl or cute, or something, it's also said by many others that he is just GREAT, and treats all his customers well.
It really helps that the SEC was designed by Engineers to be really easy to work on by Mercedes mechanics, too.



I guess you have sold me on a trip down for some work on my old black car one of these days. That is enough, I am convinced. I will need a Hirschmann antenna too.

Listen, while you are amped up you could maybe put in a few words of encouragement...here..at the thread...
