Some might add muffler shine
Chris you're a funny guy!

Diesels have glow plugs that like to break off in the head, motor mount and belt tensioner problems too. MAF sensors tripping trouble codes.

You got that right, what shock me most is the Charcoal filter replacement, I can remove & replaced that filter in less than 10 mins. Btw, you need two charcoal filters = $174 so labor is $326 and yes it's still not acceptable for the labor cost.

I (slightly) regret not DIYing when I first bought my e430 and kicked down for plugs, tranny fluid etc. for near $1K. If there is a way to emphasize how simple a lot of the DIY procedures are, it would be worth posting. While the w210's are well built, many of their mechanisms are pretty simple - even I can figure it out with the help of this forum - and I'm by no means particularly mechanically inclined! Elegance in simplicity - right?

Perhaps this should part of some kind of "welcome to the world of DIY" introduction. I'm starting to feel like a character in Zen and the Art of Motorcylcle Maintenance - and I like it!
