I have had my E since 2006. Bought it right out of the showroom. It has been the most dependable vehicle ever. Finally last week I encountered the first mechanical issue: alternator died.
Watched a vid on youtube showing how to replace the alternator. If you do not have the special wrenches the mechanic has it is almost impossible to do it as he did.
I loosed the upper tie bar and slid it forward so I could easily remove the cooling fan. Once out, no problem reaching the lower bolts!
