He said that my car (92 500 SEL) ETA is quoted at $1600 from the local Mercedes dealership and there is only one ETA on my car.

Any suggestions? Do I replace the ETA without confirmation that it is the cause of the problem?
any relevant DTCs such as the ones that show in MENU#24, then I certainly wouldn't r&R it. If it's the ETA, there should be a 'trail' of DTCs. Without some 'proof', it would be a crapshoot (and expensive to boot) to replace it.

Now if you decide that you MUST, then remove it yourself and send to Beckmann; check out the link in Menu#24. Price is much less and the results, are excellent based on the feedback to me.

But until you get some concrete DTCs, not sure that I would do anything. First I make sure that a 'pro' scanner tool is employed.
