Hi.
I have been stripping the top of the engine in my S55 AMG so that I could have the heads re-furbished and the valve stem oil seals replaced.
I also relaced the timing chain, shoes, water pump, oil pump and oil pump chain.
I started doing this at the end of 2017, I took photos, and labled all of the cables and hoses, I had to put a halt to it when the weather got too cold, as the car is 2 foot too long to fit in my garage.
Unfortunately, not long after starting the rebuild last year, my health took a turn for the worse, and I was unable to work on the car for most of last summer.
I got quite a lot of work done towards the end of the year, but had to pack up again when it got cold.
This year, I have nearly completed the build, however... Pretty much all of the labels that I carefully placed, have either disintergrated, fallen off, or the permenant marker I used turned out to be not permenant.
With a bit of common sense, using the internet, and my copy of WIS and EPC, I have figured it all out, except for this one cable.
I swapped the steering rack as well, so the cable "May" be from that, but I cant remember if I plugged that one back in.
There is a cable that runs from the back of the engine, to just behind the alternator, then it splits, I think one of the offshoots goes to the cylinder block (Oil level sensor?) which was not removed, the other is the cable that I cant quite figure out, it is fairly long, long enough to reach the back of the engine, or the middle of the front.
I think it will be a cable that is used on most, if not all m113/m112 engines, so it will probably be there on an S500.
If anyone can help before I go searching on the cold concrete, I will most appreciate it.
Thanks
Steve
This is where the cables come from, the red arrow is the cable I cant work out, the yellow cable is the one that goes to the block:
