Fits the Following: All 107,116,123 and 126 Chassis from 1973-1991. PLEASE NOTE. These do not work on the W201 or the W124 chassis.

If you are experiencing very hard or less than perfect shifts, a failed transmission modulator could be the problem. New Genuine Mercedes part. This unit is an upgrade over the original. It has a better thrust pin design which is less prone to cause pressure variations in cold weather.
I have been discovering this is one of those maintenance areas that suffers from severe neglect. Failure of the rubber support or center drive shaft bearing can cause all types of improperly diagnosed vibration problems - some commonly change with vehicle speed.
Testing fuel pressure is a simple procedure on the D-Jetronic engines, but it is absolutely essential.
This is a set of four Kent Torx head door striker bolts. They will eliminate many headaches related to door closing issues on the W123, W126, and 560SL doors. These are extras you may need when you adjust or replace your striker(s), and they do not include instructions or special tools.
The door strikers seem to wear out faster on the R107s than on any other chassis due primarily to the heavy doors. Even driving with the doors closed puts a strain on the strikers.
You will receive two specialty drill bits and a modified star socket, along with very detailed video instructions on how to use these tools to remove a damaged head hex bolt without damaging the door frame or the old striker.
If you round out a head on a W123, W126, or 560SL door striker bolt, you don't have to panic. This video will show you two ways to remove the damaged bolt using Kent's emergency removal tool set.
Instead of a weak, small hex tool, you can now use a T45 torx bit that fits tight in the head of Kent's new striker torx bolts for the W123, W126, and 560SL.
When you install a new door striker, you will have to adjust it so the door closes and fits properly. This can be time-consuming, as it involves a fair amount of trial and error.

Rusty, pitted metal can be pretty ugly, even if you paint over it. If you try to fill it with regular Bondo, that will not work long-term.

Kent shares with you 3 key steps that you should consider doing to get your old fuel injected 6 and 8 cylinder engines running properly. These include:
DO NOT ORDER UNTIL YOU REMOVE ONE INJECTOR IN YOUR ENGINE AND INSPECT THE HOLE. Sometime in 1974, Mercedes changed the way these injectors were sealed into the head to prevent air leaks. A "YELLOWISH" nylon sleeve was added along with two seals on the lower end of the fuel injector.
You can not believe how easy it is to move and adjust your old seat after lubrication the tracks with this amazing lubricant! You will receive two full tubes plus the extension nozzle. This is more than enough lube to do the seats with four tracks on each side.

It has been over 30 years since the last Mercedes with Bosch C.I.S. fuel injection was manufactured. If you own a 1976 to 1993 Mercedes gas engine with this type of fuel injection, you may have difficulty finding someone to work on your car. In some parts of the country, it may be impossible.
