I would love to have one of these as a daily driver... call me crazy, I guess. Last time I was in EU, I was salivating over the Vito, Sprinter and Crafter vans.

For what it's worth, I got back under there with the stethoscope. The noise is definitely coming from the IP and the IP only. It sounds real bad in there. It can be heard very well when the scope is...

It's very interesting you say that about the o rings. Now that I think about it, the sound started around th time of the last oil change. I use Shell 5/40 and German Hengst filters. I'll change the...

Thanks oilslick. Would you say the rattle sounded similar to mine? I'm more than willing to try cracking injector lines again.

You can hear at starting at 0:10 going to 0:15. On and off again at 0:18, 0:20, 0:23. It's right at around 1800-2000 rpm, under load or not. I'll take a new video tonight and get the mic closer to...

+2 drill battery, but any voltage will work for that. Doesn't have to be 12 or 14v. I've used 18v lithium to test electrics before, surely won't hurt a DC motor for what you're trying to do.

That 12 point on my car was just a basic 13mm. This entire job can be done with a basic metric set and a torque wrench. The tensioner is a 19mm, though.

Well, I got it tore apart today, the lifters were pretty beat up. They felt smooth, but the surface was pretty worn. You can see where it looks like some dirt made some weird scaring. You can see the...

I agree, the lack of labelling and dodging the question is very telling. I'd love to buy a better one, but I can't find them anywhere. Dealer wants ~$600 including freight, I'd rather buy a used...

Can't do it. It's fully integrated into all the systems in the car. You'd probably need a donor 2007+ E class to do it.

I'm all about rattling the cages, my E500 has the SBC... though, pretty sure the system continues to function normally after the service threshold. (unless it actually fails, of course) Are you sure?
