Parts for a Mercedes have to be expensive! right? speaking of parts, that Jeep oil pan has 3 different sized bolts. 2 larger ones to hold the AC compressor bracket and then one 4 inch one that goes up into the side of the compressor!
They do though. 2 of them go into the engine block and I think the 3rd one, the 4 inch one, goes up into the side of the compressor but it's hard to see.
Maybe it's why no one wanted to replace the pan. I wanted 2 different shops to do it and they both told me that the bolt heads were all rusted off and there was nothing I could do. One of them told me the only thing I could do is take the car to a junk yard and sell it for a few hundred dollars! But when I got under there the bolt heads are in near perfect condition!
What is wrong with it? how much does an old Mercedes cost? probably pocket change for you.
He drove it home, the underhood fire was later. A driveable one is 5 to 10 grand, and a nice one is twice that.
And with some engine work it should run for many more years right?
Just the top of the engine, mainly the injectors and the fuel rail.

Shouldn't be mixed on the oil pan bolt pattern!
Do the other ones bolt into the engine block to mount the compressor?
