As above - suspect it's the original still on the car. Planning on fitting a new one in due course-anything to be aware of?- special tools etc. Aftermarket or dealers gasket- any difference? Thanks in advance. |

Gasket job on these is a job that you will be able to do .I would get the proper gasket from MB .And if you want insurance that it wont leak again put a little sealer on the gasket .The sumps after time warp .Not that much but if you look at one thats been removed you will see what i mean .Owners get down and tighten up the sump bolts because it leaks ,not knowing its the gasket and then it pulls the sump out of true at the bolt holes. But wait and see what other member say . |

You'll need a metric allen set along with a few metric sockets, nothing special. There are about 40 bolts in the oil pan, and just to keep you on your toes, they are many different sizes. Lay them out on a large piece of cardboard in the order they came out, or you'll have quite a task to put them back correctly. You should have the front wheels up on the highest ramps you can find (unless you have a lift), as you need a lot of clearance to swing down the pan. If it gets stuck, rotate the engine a bit to get the crank throws out of the way. Worst case, you can put a jack with a wood block under the transmission sump to lift the engine a bit for clearance. |
