Car starts and drives perfectly...what do I do?
 

I don't have any issues with my 300E right now. It starts everytime on the first turn, idles perfectly, rides like a demon, and stops on a dime. What am I to do???

For Gods sake man, pull a vacuum hose off !!! Lol

"I don't have any issues with my 300E right now"

keep it that way

Count your blessings that it is not a W210 or W211 car and just enjoy it and take good care of it.


I love my 1995 E420, the balance is perfect on it, and it was built to a "cost no object" standard of build quality, TOTALLY unlike the Mercedes Benzes nowadays. And it was not cheap either, a new E 420 was the top of the line E class sedan in 1995, and it cost $53,000 which was a huge load of money back then.

There is a REASON - (in fact, many) I bought this when lots of other choices were affordable to me.

So, "just keep it" ..... BUT NOT like the English man in China wrote when his car got the Denver Boot in Shanghai:

I have the same problem with my 230E, been searching the forum and this seems to be the only link.

Pinch yourself.

Buy a car "that's a good restoration project" as they often list on Craigslist.

go fiddle with the engine harness, steam clean the engine compartment, or run some no-name green coolant through it.

, rides like a demon
 

Just what dose this mean? is it bad or is this the new bad, or do you need to replace those little spheres? :D

Just enjoy it...and remember that feeling!!

I am so used to having to fix something on it that I was just realizing it has been running and driving great for coming up on a year now. Found myself thinking, "what can I work on with it now?" I guess I can probably get my driver seat repadded or something until something gives. Jim B., that car looks brand new!!! Very nice!
