Most expensive tune up ever?
Well, probably not of all time, but certainly the most I've had to spend.
Plug wires: $536.76, set Distributor cap: $209.30 ea, 2 required Rotor button: $81.60 ea, 2 required I highly recommend NOT purchasing an 8 cylinder MB. :td: Of course, it *is* fun to take a Camaro/Mustang/Etc from a roll in a 5000 lb sedan and still get 24+ mpg. |
:eek: :td:
|
S500?:confused:
|
No, an E Class, but with essentially the same drivetrain. Motor (32 valve, overhead cam V8 with variable length intake runners & variable cam timing), tranny, and electronics are all the same.
|
If you think that is expensive,try paying for a tune-up for a Ferrari.
|
3K dollar oil change FTL yeah gotta love Ferrari. :rofl:
|
yeah I know, sister's bf has a 360 :bowdown:
|
i can probably beat those prices pretty good, if you haven't done it yet pm me with your vin and i'll get a quote to you on monday
|
Really? Thanks....
Do you work at an MB dealer? I'll PM you the VIN |
Just found a Bosch wire set for $189 shipped on ebay.
Still outrageous, but much better. :-/ |
look up the oil change on a porsche boxster. it's nuts. not ferrari-bad, but still bad.

Yeah I don't do aftermarket on that car, but I don't think there is any aftermarket for it...
It's my understanding that Bosch and Beru are the OE manufacturers of MB plug wires, and Bosch makes the distributor caps and rotors. |
thats nothing, I've been punked for major dough, 1200.00 for Replacing 2 rotors,brake pads and a supposed special addition caliper ....stupid mistake 1, going back to the trusted mechanic for my clutch mistake number 2 , 800.00, supposedly he had to charge extra for having to remove the custom exhaust system.....This for a miata....I know Im retarded, but thats what I get for being nieve

Well, I got all the tune up parts in.
Car runs much better (it had an intermittent miss on the drivers' side middle 2 cylinders due to a bad cap). Idle is glass smooth again, you can't even hear or feel it running. And it pulls like a 747 on takeoff when you put your foot down. Still has a hesitation when it comes to operating temp, just after idle. The hesitation does not occur when cold. It only occurs in one spot, about 1200 rpm or so, and never again. Any theories? |
