Hello guys,
I am looking to get an S500L '56 it has 127k miles and it is at an auction.
I will ask tomorrow if I can see the car prior to the auction.
It has an EML light on, but all in all it looks in a great condition.
I have checked online on various sources and apparently the models with the problematic timing chain guides and tensioners are engines with serial number prior to 2739..30 088611.
Since the car I am looking at is way after that engine serial number, I would assume it is not affected by the the timing chain guide wheel (idler) the car I am looking at has engine number 2739..30 114821, so is it safe to assume it does not fall under that problem?
I am so tempted as the car has all the extras I would be looking for...
Cheers
Vasilis.
