It is all about access and being able to diagnose without having to have obstruction in my way. Maybe it stems from when I used to have carbs. The first thing that I ever did was remove all "unnecessary" hardware. On my other Benzes that have old York air conditioners, guess which thing got permanently removed within weeks of my ownership....
