Thanks for the earlier video with fans and wiring color talk.. I made a pretend coolant temp sensor with speaker wire banana plugs, some resistors to ground & it got computer out of limp-mode(?) so far. New part on way - that woke up my Aux fans & altered idle a bit. The info on the computer & wiring is a help trying to fix where mechanic tried to get starter to go when it was a bad neutral safety switch (they only disabled my cabin fan somehow & offered to give car to charity & me a donation slip). I towed it to relatives house and put in the switch - fixed.
For this one - The dealer price on rotors was lowest price one time I checked - they order & ship by the case... They sent the right longer brake wear sensors for my W124, early 94 and also right back to the 1970/80's W123's - the plastic wears thru & shorts a wire to the rotor lighting up the warning light while wire lasts - reusable until they get triggered.
There may be a nice to change each decade rubber dirt seal around the caliper pistons. I'd have thought opening bleeder more, or just gravity and the squeezie vacuum (to -14 psi) would have sucked juice out the back line fine. Pressing pedal once & hold is good too. Somewhere it was a good idea to change all brake fluid at some interval because it can collect moisture & blackness. Memories & food for future fixes.
Other adventure - Back of head has coolant connector with a nice $2 o-ring where it took a few evenings 2 wrenches & valve grinding compound for more friction.. to get the 2 bolts out.. Symptom was a small waterfall out the back of the head. Got to borrow truck, rent trailer, tow it home 160 miles & ride a mega-bus.
It helps having blogs & videos at peachparts, pelicanparts, fcpeuro, ipdusa(volvo), youtube... MB seems to change stuff more than Volvo.
