MB DIY diagnostic tools recommendations??
 

All:

Was wondering what tools you'd recommend (and their online ordering sources) for a shadetree mechanic to keep in their box to work on a 190e 2.6...???

Here is what I'm thinking...any other additions would be helpful:
Fuel pressure tester
Fuel injection tester
DMM with Duty Cycle

What else?

Cheap $$$ sources for Mercedes specific diagnostics would be a big help.

Thanks.

If you have an intermittent issue, I recommend you use the piece of diagnostic equipment that many garages use: a Magic 8-Ball.

You can order one online http://www.amazon.com/exec/obidos/ASIN/B00001ZWV7/indrasnet/103-3654116-8489436.

:)

If you have a financial interest in sale of the Magic 8-Ball it should be disclosed.

My only interst was a bit of humor and to point out that some problems are really hard to find - lighten up! :)

A weegie board somtimes helps find problems too!
