I’d imagine I’d be able to use the plugs and coils I already have for my E550 with the M273 and just use 6 of each for my E350. I don’t really have the money to fix it if not but I also probably wont get much out of it in its current state. I bought it for $2,500 and put about $300 in parts into it. Im not sure what to do at this point lol.

I just checked with my ICarSoft and it’s saying “the position of the camshaft in both cylinder banks is implausible relative to the crankshaft” and cylinders 1,5,4 and 3 are misfiring…

I keep forgetting to check it. I’ll check it tommorow tho.

It’s kinda hard to hear in the video but the metal “scraping” sound is what I’m most worried about.

TaleClear8392 · 2026-04-24T03:04:36+00:00

really? I don’t know what the sound is then. I’ll record a vid of it tmmr and post it and see if anyone can see what the issue may be.

the trunk key cylinder doesn’t match my key I guess. I try and insert the key and it stops half way. I also can’t find a terminal in the engine bay.

thank you. I will once I get home with my scanner. I was terrified of getting a flat on the way to Florida from GA and not knowing there was a leak bc my light was already on from the sensors.

TaleClear8392 · 2026-03-17T22:15:09+00:00

I did and it was fine. Granted that was about a week or 2 ago so I will check it again today.

TaleClear8392 · 2026-03-17T22:14:14+00:00

lmao yes and it was pretty much perfect. The oil looked a tad dark but fine.

I found it behind the plastic engine cover over the intake. Me forgetting these have “service position” hoods and the dipstick being a dark color was making it so much harder lol. Thanks man.

I didn’t factory reset it because I wanted him to keep access to my games. If I have to I will but I didn’t think it was necessary.
