Hi Guys,
I have been reading a lot on the glycol contamination issues for the w203/209/211 up to 9/2003 on this forum.
I myself have recently imported a w209 production date 03/2003 from Germany (I reside in NL) with about 40k mileage.
It drives very smooth and i dont seem to have any probs.
However whenever i feel vibration or any weird noise I immediately think about the glycol issue.
Could anyone give a clear description what the symptoms are from the contamination?
I hear people about a droning/humming noice, vibrations etc.
But how clearly noticeable are these symptoms? Are they hardly noticeable by a non-mechanic, or even clearly noticeable by anyone?
Thanks a lot,
