    This is pretty tricky thing to deal with on a 500sl. The Mass Air flow meter is in line with the air cleaner. Usually cleaning them very has very mixed results. Do you have any codes that would indicate the the car is running too lean from an 'under reporting' air flow meter? I nother words, why do you want to clean it?
