So possible oil cooler leak on my W212 E350.
My local indy charge £1.2k a hefty amount for sure.
Hoping to get some advice on what else to replace whilst there reassembling things back together again, hoping it would save me some labour costs in the long run.
Cars done 120k miles now so due some tlc.
I'm thinking;
EGR valve.
Actuator.
Swirl flap motor.
Fuel filter.
Air filter (easy enough for me to do but fk it get them to do it whilst putting it back together).
Oil and oil filter as car is due a change anyways.
A full clean of the intake manifold and swirl flaps.
Thermostat was replaced 2 years ago so that's all good.
Will be requesting them to replace the cooler unit and not just the seals.
Anything else I missed?
