Really?

May I ask your opinion on MB saying the torque converter doesn’t need draining when changing atf please? I recall some while ago you posting the procedure for flushing via the text oil cooler pipes.

I’ve done the same job on a pre facelift and it was just plug n play, no coding required. Try it first? ( got the new 2nd hand ballast sub £100 from Latvia )

Sorry, but I would’ve turned around and driven back to the ramp and parked it! I understand about your other half but surely she would understand??

Typical US ‘look at How Clever I Yam’ superficial, non detailed, ie not stressing the absolute necessity of New clamp bolts and the torquing up of same.

I had the same issue 15 years ago, removing a leaking injector the bolt snapped. I paid the Thread Doctor £120 to come out and spend a couple of hours removing the rest and inserting a helicoil. I realised my limitations and regarded it as an investment in knowledge ie, how close the bolt hole...

Hi Boxer, looks like you did that just over a year ago? Still looks good to me and the usual oil leak onto inlet port motor isn't there either.

I wonder what happened in the end?

Well that’s an hour out of my increasingly shorter life 😱 And why oh why don’t people proof read their replies before posting?? Grammar Nazi I am.

I can’t see your post re what you discovered? Using heat to adjust tracking: I have observed twice in the past that ‘ technicians’ in certain Quick Tit branches cba to undo track rod end locknuts and fire up the torch to get them to redhot and wrench the rod with the giant mole grips to adjust...

Do it asap then you can tick it off. Standard practice for me when I buy one.
