Appreciate the input. I may order a roll of the vacuum line ahead of time just to change it out anyways.Kalashnikov wrote: ↑Tue Mar 06, 2018 11:31 pm 2002+ cars require the engine to be lowered a little to get the tank out. On 1999-2001 cars you can get away with pulling the tank out without lowering the engine. I've done this on my 2002, and it was painful process. Lots of curse words were used.
While you are there, pay attention to the vacuum line fittings for the SAI pump, as you can accidentally crack them or break them and you will get the P0491&P0492. Also, get the special cable pliers for taking off the hose clams. All of the OEM claims are the non-worm types, so they are painful to take off without the special tool. Make sure that you also correctly slot the new tank, as it is has to "slot" into the chassis that it attaches to.
Do you happen to have an amazon link for the tool? I have a few others, but they are specific to Mercedes.
By slot, are you referring to the "T" shape on the top that looks like it should be inserted into a slot?
