Thanks guys!! You've helped me to rest easy tonight! I cannot find a mechanic who will touch my car in my area. Even a German auto shop called auto werks refused to touch it because it has a Mercedes motor (and all I was asking them to do was use their transmission dipstick to check the level.) It's great that you've taken time to respond. Much love and good vibes are being sent your way!

Now wish me luck on this post catalytic O2 code reading lean on bank 2. I'm thinking I may have a bad Cat.
