I don't know, maybe the new harness has something directly related.... I'm just glad it is 'better'!

I don't plan any repair at this time on mine as all seems to be fine. Now, ask me this time next week!

Too funny on that last part of your quote. I totally know the feeling. I have a 95 E320 like yours and a 93 diesel. I had them both down for a month this summer trying to figure it out without taking in to a shop. I was going out of my mind for a bit there. The problem is I am like you I think, I really like these cars so I can't bring myself to dump them and get something newer. I'm currently fighting the urge to get an older 240D for a toy but I know exactly what that will spell if I do. We'll see if I can continue to hold off during moments of weakness or not
