Beauty is in the eye of the beholder

I really think the W210 is an ugly car, even with the facelift. I bought it looking for more rear legroom (or rear facing baby seat room as the case may be). I figured it would be a great drive...

It depends

For me, the 124 E500 wins. I've owned my 1994 for a few years now. I recently sold my 1999 E55 which my wife hated. The 2000 is a bit more cosmetically refined, but still... The E55 is faster and...

Cost to Fix

I paid $150 for the misdiagnosed EZL, then spent about 1.5 weeks looking for an EZL which, at my hourly rate, is expensive. Paid another $75 for the correct diagnosis and another $275 for a mass air...

Problem Solved

Okay, talk about a low-tech solution. Essentially a loose positive battery terminal. Code read low voltage below 9v when 10.6v is required. There is a group of wires that fasten to the nut which...

Guido

I replaced the crankshaft sensor, but that didn't do the trick so I put the old one back on. What fuses are you referring to and where are they? And yes, the battery may have run low at some point...

thanks

I must admit, I was very relieved when my EZL started up my friend's 500SEL. I figured nothing wrong with my car could be worse than replacing the EZL -- especially since I hadn't been able to...

False Alarm

So apparently, there is nothing wrong with my EZL. My friend with a 1992 500SEL came by and I talked him into letting me try his EZL in my E500. Well, my car didn't start. Then, to finish the...

Just to be clear

You are saying that an EZL from any 500E/E500 will work and that it is only the 1992 500SL that has CIS-E injection. I pulled one from a running 92 500SL and it didn't work in my E500. Then for...

Thanks for the tips

More info

The car won't start. It cranks over and over, sounds like a car that has no fuel, but there's no spark. EZL prices have gone up considerably. Retail is well North of $2K, as dealer pays (i.e.,...

Ezl

I was looking for used, but my understanding is that there is no way to rebuild these. By the time you open it up, you've completely destroyed it. What the best price?

The sale didn't go through so I'm still in the group. Not such a bad thing to be honest.

Actually, time valve is $275

$40 is insane. Labor alone is more than that. I know a little about welding and exhaust fabrication and that's a ridculously low price. Any pictures to post?

It is well built, but mine had lots of little bumps bumps from overspray during welding on it. ...

it was a great car, but it has very little leg room for rear seat passengers. The 500e's looks can be enhanced in many subtle ways. I think the styling is rather timeless but I'm biased.

No to 840, just my opinion

That V8 is a troubled motor. Stay away from 540 from that era too. If budget is not a concern, get the 850csi which is essentially the M8 BMW never built. If budget is a concern, get a 1991...
