They recommend the service every 1-2 years, 12K - 15K miles, I'm way over that so I figured it was about time.

We'll take the savings and buy beer and BBQ for the meet . . . how does that sounds?
We have 8 people so far, that would be about $8 x 8 = $64 . . . that should buy us enough beer and ribs . . . and it could be more if we get the helps to toss in a few $$ . . .

Well. I have the UR Crank and Alternator Pulley, that I was going to put on the CLS 6 if I got, but since that didn't happen.
Let me know if your interested. Willing get both of them to you for a Ben Franklin.

Seriously, the flashing phase is just a warning that you are coming up on a maintenance schedule. Once the date/time for maintenance is reached, the light will simply stay on.
So no worries, just go and do the regularly scheduled maintenance or get it checked out . . . there is a reset proceedure out on the forum so do a search and get the puppy turned off.

Guys,
This is something we need to check while doing the ThermBloc mod.

Exhaust Gas Recirculation valve...no fluids just exhaust.
1. Take off plastic engine shield
2. Unplug EGR
3. Unscrew two nuts holding it on, and replace..
Don't have to do now, but will eventually half to
Take off upper intake manifold, and take a small drill bit and scrape out as much of the gunk from the EGR port as you can. The port is pretty small. You can just follow it from the EGR to find out where it is. DO NOT LET ANY METAL SHAVING STAY IN THE INTAKE, OR GET INTO THE PORTS. Make sure everything is clean before reinstall

It's $105 shipped, so that would be $205 for the whole set, about $85 less for the 3 . . . when I can afford it . . . so this is probably the only way I would have been able to pull this off . . .
So Props Chops!
