Doc, this helped quite a bit. I just sprayed with intake cleaner but I'll go back in and scrub it this weekend.

Btw, what do you know of C320's. I'm looking at an 05. Apparently, these have the E320 engines? No wonder it was quite more peppy than a C280 or even a C230K.

But what about the rest of the car? Thanks
