I don't think my rear main seal is leaking, but the leak most certainly could be around the seal retainer plate. Looking through the...

I agree - it feels like driveshaft or an axle shaft. I definitely do not think they all do it. I had 04 and 05 loaners (I think they were both 4matics) and they were flawless - absolutely no...

Don't underestimate the ability of ESP to curtail over/understeering. The C320 is really quite fun in snow, though sometimes the ASR cuts the electronic throttle too much.

On a w210 and a w203 (with ASR/ESP) can you flush the system with a pressure bleeder? Or would this leave "stale" brake fluid within the (expensive) control valves that you are trying to protect?
