The exhaust is finally nice a dignified like a Mercedes, but now that its quieter you can hear this hissing and ticking of the fuel pump. Thank goodness I have a source that can get a new Bosch pump for $180. The exact same one is listed for $308 on this site.

I still need to pull the center console and clean, plus fix the rear window.

Don't you have any junk yards around there? I managed to pull the entire rear fuel assembly (bracket, two fairly new pumps, check valves, accumulator, and wiring) from a 300E in our local yard for a grand total of: $16 Currently the pumps on the car are strong and quiet....have never looked at them yet....but at least I have spares.

Sadly the exhau$t is going to be an expen$ive thing in my 300E's future. It also needs the rear resonator and muffler. $$$ So far it is not leaking or loud yet, hopefully it lasts another year, or at least till next spring. I'm considering deleting the CAT at the same time....
