Is there anywhere on the threads or other references on the web that can identify what all the acronyms stand for ( ovp,ecu etc)?

What the part looks like and what its function is.

Where on the car is a particular part located.

Thanks from a newbie!!!!

A glossary with photos and functions would be nice.

The short answer is no, and if you don't mind the occasional jab of "search the forum", you can always ask.

Search function is gonna be your best bet...or at least to find the full name...then just wikipedia it.

Well that is another great part of this Forum. Search a thread of any intensity, and someone will show up with just the picture of the situation you were thinking about. Also, under buy parts, using Fastlane which is a major supporter of this Web Site. If the part is for sale by them in the listing on this site, usually a picture of the part is provided, usually showing both major sides. This is very helpful and I use it often to get a good look at the part in or parts involved. Then of course there is EPC, Mercedes Benz Electronic Parts Control which I find difficult to use so I use what is know as the "Russian Site" for exploded views of cars and their major assemblies.
