Some random W210 musings...

What's up with the funky bolts holding the water pump on? What kind of socket fits them - a star?

Just discovered something cool the car does! When the mirror adjust selector is set on the passenger side and the gear selector is placed in R, the mirror will move in/down to make it easier to see when backing. Then it returns to normal when moving forward.

Oh yeah, how do you remove the pipe coming from the IC to the intake manifold? I can see easily how to remove the manifold bolts but not how to remove the tube from the manifold.

And another thing. What's up with the car falling on it's face after every shift? And the HUGE delay between input on the throttle and response. I can floor it and it waits literally 2 sec before racing off like a bat. Is the computer waiting to see a little boost before it opens the gate on the fuel?
