Hello,

I have a 300ce.

I have 215k on my 300ce and the original cat and it just passed DMV. Make sure your o2 sensor is OK. If you check online here for preparing for emissions, you will get a wealth of info. However, if your not a DIY person your into some big $$. These cars [300e family] can be very problamatic.

The speedo cable probrably needs some silicoln sprayed down the speedo tube. It works wonders. Its tough to get the instrumnet cluster out though.

I'm amazed that you had a valve job. These 103 engines go for ever?
My 300ce has had no major problems other than the transmission going out. Common problem. It lasted 200K.

Good luck

I love my 300ce.

Brian
