Given all that effort... LS swap 🙂

How did you attach the jumper cables? Should I connect directly to the battery or to the jump start terminal in the engine compartment?

Not obligatory. It pertains to its performance when subjected to stress.

Attempt to install an additional battery. It appears that the installed component has malfunctioned, and the internal resistance may be hindering the donor battery from supplying sufficient power to initiate the start.

The smoke machine, along with a reliable scan tool and real-time data, will make pinpointing easier. To test whether the problem lies with the pump or the cracked pipe, try disconnecting the fuel line that runs from the high-pressure pump to the fuel rail; in rare cases, this may work.

Yes, I suppose the AMG elements will be more expensive.

I take it that everything else is functioning well, but hold and cruise aren't? Are there no trouble signals at the cluster?

It seems to be rather prevalent. I'm finding my stride here...

Check this out. My money is on the oil filter housing getting cooled by coolant.

Salutations everyone! I have a question regarding the cam sensors for my E63 M157. MB sells them for about £65 each, but you can get Febi ones for roughly £15. Is there any difference in quality or anything else? I am grateful.

You deserve all the credit for keeping your MB looking so beautiful, since I adore her.

The colour changed to green, indicating that gases are leaking into the coolant. The garage claims they can't determine if it happened three days or three weeks ago. Now I have two options: either search for another garage that is willing to fix it, which will cost me over £1,400 (or 70% of the car's original price), or try my luck in court with scant evidence, such as the fact that the mechanic has flushed the radiators and coolant and there's antifreeze on a couple of receipts, and his firm denial of any head gasket problems. My head gasket has definitely blown.
