1. Don't forget about flushing the SLS hydraulic fluid during your routine upkeep. The SLS system is not mentioned anywhere, moisture does get into that open system, and it's easy to change it.
2. My TE has always stalled on the first turn of the key for the 60K I've owned it. Cold engine, hot, whatever. It always starts the second turn.
3. The window regulator motors do burn out.
The cruise control module on these cars is not one of MB's better designs. Lucky you the AC is functioning! |
Thanks for the advice.
1. The brake fluid is black, and needs bleeding. So I am assuming the sls hydraulic fluid is in the same state too. I didn't think about it but it is now on my to do list.
2. Good to know. I did an oil change yesterday ( rotella t 10w40) and it seemed to start better now (maybe a placebo effect)
3. The po said he replaced the motor and regulator only to find out that it was not it. I need to get a center console switch and need to find out if the rear window is getting power at all. I hope it's cheaplike a frayed wire or something.
The car pulls very slightly to the right, the car came with new tires and brakes so I cannot see if it is wearing weird. I think the center steering bar (not sure what it is called at the moment) is bent. I thought it was suppose to be bent but looking at some part pictures looks like it is suppose to be straight.
I love the car and have been driving it every day so far, and this is considering my s2000 does put a smile on my face everytime I drive it too
