The W210 is well-known for rust. The W124 is not.

Distilled water tends to be bottled. Reverse-osmosis filtered water would be fine too.

Do not use bottled drinking water. That's no better than tap water.

If you've been a good customer of your local dealer, they're more likely to goodwill the repair. I have read reports of it happening, but I don't think the cars were ten years old.

None of us used to expect that out of a 2001 M-B, but we now know that the W210 is quite susceptible.

Perhaps it is related to the switch to water-borne paint. Perhaps it's another issue, but the...

I have never seen one in my life that worked that way. The slave cylinder rests at the end of its stroke when you remove your foot from the pedal. This is not the case with the annular cylinder.

Not trying to be confrontational, and of course everyone knew what you meant. I just didn't think that M-B used orifice tubes then (and was quite willing to be wrong about it).

If your regulator is damaged to the point where the slider isn't enough, you replace the regulator itself while reusing your motor. It's not extremely expensive.

Here's a picture of one:

It goes around the input shaft, and presses on the pressure plate fingers with no linkage. Really nice setup, if hard to service.

Afterglow is a pretty good load. Above resting voltage after engaging the starter motor and during afterglow, means that it's putting out some serious current.
