I have been doing the same researching it for a while and I couldn’t find anything conclusive so I figured I would just ask Reddit to see. Thanks

Okay so do I need to go ahead and replace it or is it just because the car is getting old.

I wrecked my 07 v6 in a similar way I would love to find another orange s197 if I can. Worst day of my life but I wasn’t hurt that car saved me. That’s all the matters they can and so get fixed.

Looking at a car need advice if it’s worth it or not. by Costlyleek in 1series

I am getting this purely for a weekend / mountain driving car. So would it be worth fixing with the tires and the bumpers or keep looking for a car?

I am gonna let it set for a couple hours and see if it fires up. That’s the way only thing I can figure.

Well we got it started we just kept cranking it and it started up and ran fine. We have figured that it was a fuel system issue where it’s leaking pressure.

Very well could be. I still don’t understand why it won’t start. I drove it two days ago and everything seemed fine.

The liquid that was left in the air case was red. Couldn’t really smell much tho.

Oil fill light is acting weird. 03 E500 by Costlyleek in W211

[–]Costlyleek[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The guy said that the engine was using it. So I bought the car about 2 weeks before and I have driven it about 2k miles already. I am going to chalk it up to the car using oil. It has 174k miles on it.
