A month later, my foggy 59 yr old memory, parts remaned by 4Mercedes.com and much appreciated help from the list members enabled me to get my Benz running again.

The hardest part of the job was getting the thottle body out and back in. I put the rear portion in first and kept wiggling until it went into place. Damn egr pipe was getting in the way. Remembering all the hassle feeding a spedo cable from the egr valve through the pipe to clean it, I took the opportunity to clean it again at the manifold.

So my 94 e320 Wagon is back on the road. I no sooner washed off a month of pollen and youngest daughter asked if she could use it to help a friend move furniture. You gotta love 6+ feet of cargo space.

Brakes are thumping a little, but I guess that's from sitting for a month.

PS 4Mercedes took care of me. However, as with any remanufacturer, it's good to get their turn around schedule in advance.
