While changing the oil on the truck today, I was looking for some small task to fill the time while waiting for all of the oil to drain out of the pan. I opened the hood on the E300 to give it a look over and I noticed a fair bit of debris had accumulated in the space between the two firewalls.





I pulled out my trusty grabbers and went to work.

All of this was fairly surprising since the car is parked inside 99% of the time. Also, the way the bulkhead is designed, it makes you wonder how anything gets in there at all.

Check your own out. The bottom of the compartment is metal and the accumulation of mess in there could lead to rust and plugged drains.
