Yes, but keep in mind that it's just an extension lead (not an actual sensor) that protects the main wiring loom from getting soaked in oil from a leaking camshaft position sensor. It's good to have as extra protection, but obviously you will still need to check if the sensors are leaking, and fix the problem if they are....These sensors. Found at decent price.
Putting the best oil in is wise, but if you have read up on the cam chain issue on this engine you will have seen cars with full MB service history have still suffered cam chain/sprocket failure. The issue was not cheap oil and missed services - although neither helps - the issue was poor quality parts from the factory.Once ive got to the bottom of the oil leak, looking at Shell Helix Ultra 5w40 or mobil super 3000 x1 5w40 oil wise. Prob best to use a decent one, after reading about the chain. So decent oil is a must.
Jackson 7715, I have to say I have a 2004 C180k with the same engine and have not had any of the above problems so please don't assume that you will have these problems with your car, I've really enjoyed owning and driving mine, now on 203K, it's reasonably economical (depends on how heavy my boot is) and quick. I would recommend regular service and oil changes, ATF & filter change if an auto and use good quality parts. MB Newcastle on Ebay are a good source. Enjoy it...
