The 2005 Mercedes-Benz E320 CDI is a difficult car to maintain due to its convoluted set-up and confusing procedures. The tail lights require multiple panels to be removed before their cumbersome bulb housing can be reliably accessed. The fog lights and petcock are awkwardly positioned behind two large panels beneath the vehicle, both of which are held on by multiple bolts. There are two batteries on the vehicle, as well, and accessing them is very problematic.

However, there are a couple of positives on the 2005 Mercedes-Benz E320 CDI. The cabin air filter is easy to find and only requires a single bolt to be removed in order to access it. All of the other headlights don’t require any tools and can be accessed by simply reaching behind the bulb housing. The spare tire and jack kit can be quickly found in the trunk, making for convenient access in the case of a flat.
