Hi guys,

1995 E320 Sedan but only 46k miles !!

This is my first MB. I got it a year ago. It used to be my mother’s car and before that it belonged to my mother’s boss, so I know the car since new and I know it has received all the required maintenance at the dealer's shop.

I really love this car. It's really a pleasure to drive but I'm starting to think I just can't afford it's maintenance cost. Unbelivable, but this is what I have replaced during this last 12 months:

• Engine wire harness.
• Motor computer, ECU (because harness failure).
• Throtle actuator.
• Oil cooler (intercooler?)
• Water pump.
• Heater hose.
• Radiator upper and lower hoses.
• Bypass and overflow hoses.
• Thermostat.
• Expansion tank.
• Expansion tank preasure cap.
• Motor mounts.
• Valve cover gasket.
• One ignition coil.
• Tires.

Right now, the car needs a new Neutral Safety Switch and maybe an Intake air temperature sensor (code 3, pin8).

I thinks this is really bad for a car with 46k miles!. What can I expect if I keep the car? I have replaced almost all the inyection asociated electronics but the car keeps asking for maintenence. What's next? New transmission? A new radiator or an air flow sensor? The heater core? Maybe the other 2 ignition coils?


Will someone please call the "Overhauling" people at the Discovery Chanel and let them know about my car?

Thanks!
