low oil level sensor
« on: 25 September 2014, 16:08:28 »
Does anyone know ... (Mark  ::)) for certain that changing the low oil level sensor is a straight forward job on my Merc R320? The sensor itself is about £40, but when asking generally about it at Mercedes, they want about £300 to change it!  :o :o :o

Their EPC isn't very clear and the lad on the parts wasn't allowed to look on their version of TIS to give me the heads up

Our Muppet seems to think they just bolt onto the sump but he's not certain.

I've yet to even venture under the car/tank, I'm not certain, but I the EPC suggested it was inside the sump  :-\ :-\ :-\
