I tried to do a search but the terms of my question are so common that I get a zillion random threads w/ either 300E/warm/dies/etc. in them. I know what an OVP relay is, what is an EZL? Where is it? TIA.  |
What is it with these mercedes and problems when warm . Did they design them to run in the cold even out of gas.
Mine runs when warm , but wants to be coddled. When cold it thinks its a race horse .
Darn Benz designs them for the freezing German winters . Sorry for venting but I see a lot of unsolved problems with warm Benz's.
Did Treetrimmer give up . I have been trying for 2 months now . Hang in there everyone . Pray for an Ice Age
