This procedure is a must do anytime you install a new master cylinder or allow fluid to completely leak out of your master cylinder.
WARNING: MAKE CERTAIN your current injectors are blue/green at the top. A restocking fee will apply if you place an order in error. These are for the 4.5 engine only. See related products below for the 3.5. A video is worth a few thousand words.

Most of the older 450 engine fan clutches are still original on most of the older unrestored V8 models from 1970 to 1980. If you are having problems with your 450 V8 running hot check the friction in your clutch. They are often worn out as they seem to never get changed.
This is seldom replaced. If you engine is taking over 15 minutes to get up to full operating temp then your thermostat is probably worn now. We got you covered with kit. We will get you the extra hardware, supplies and video instructions so you have the confidence to do this job yourself.
If you think your coolant hoses are "ok" they just may be, but it is what is hidden that could be a problem. When you remove those old hoses ( unless they have been replaced in the past 10 years) you may be shocked at what you find.
We have been able to determine that most of the 500 series R107 and W126 of the early to mid 1980s have the same FID setup as the 380 engines.

I have hit my head so many times on the grill edge while working on R107 engines that I finally decided to do something about it while recently changing the fuel injectors on a 380SL.
These are high quality German brand filters. Since mose of these cars are not driven regularly Kent recommends an oil change every 5000 miles or 2 years whichever comes first ( using quality oil) and a fuel fitler change every 10,000 miles or 2 years whichever comes

These engine supply fuel hoses are critical to the well-being of your engine. I have seen too many rotten and deteriorating hoses on these D-Jet engines that could easily lead to an engine fire, and they just do not get replaced when they should.
If you are looking for a way to really beautify your classic Benz engine compartment this could be it. These hardly ever get changed and most are stained and ugly. This is a genuine OEM part with rubber seals included. MAKE CERTAIN yours matches in size and shape before ordering.
If you are removing and replacing your M110 fuel injectors these are the seals you should have on hand. Always replace the rubber seals. I know it is possible to reuse the plastic sleeves but many times they are brittle and will be damaged upon removal.
Even if your engine is running "ok," but your hoses are 20-plus years old, you should replace them.

Before you make this modification you should be very familiar with the function of the WUR and how its pressure adjustements affect the performance of the K-Jetronic fuel injection systems. The tools and supplies offered in this kit will allow you to modify your warm up regulator at home and it y

This is every thing you need along with free video instructions by Kent Bergsma. Why change the K-jet fuel injectors in your M110 engine. One thing is they are very old. Second this is right now they are readily available and resonably inexpensive.
380 engines tend to run hot. As long as it is not too hot it won't hurt the engine but that extra heat is not kind to rubber and plastic parts.
We modify this wrench right here in our shop. If a picture is worth a thousand words, what is a video work. Watch the following for a full explanation.
Why change K-jet injectors when "they are working?" Why change shocks when they feel ike "they are working." The deteration is very slow over time and you may not notice the difference in how the engine starts, runs, accelerates, and delivers mileage until you do this service!
Upgraded top seals for better and longer-lasting sealing properties and well as standard green seals for the bottom of the injector holder. With these seals you can clean and reuse your existing fuel injector holders / sleeves.

Contamintion in the window washer fluid tank is one of the main reasons the spray nozzles get plugged up. Install this little fitler somewhere in the line between the pump and the nozzles on the hood and secure with zip ties.
This is a critical replacement part. If it lets loose at high speed it can damage your transmission and drive line. Just replace if over 20 years old! Bolts not included. Plan to use your old ones.
This is a part that hardly ever gets changed, and it is an easy DIY job if you can access it under your Benz. Make sure your model fits those described and has an O2 sensor installed. You can confirm that by the existence of an o2 sensor warning light on your dash.
This fits all Mercedes V8 engines listed in the title from 1981 to 1991 including the sedans, the SL and SEC models. I compare fan clutches to shock absorbers. They wear out slowly over time and you don't feel or see the difference until you actually replace it with new.
These are very high quality bolts. Same 8mm thread and small 10mm head as the originals. 8 is enough for two front seats.
This is a sample of the nut plate they go into on the back attach point on the W123 front seats.

This custom-made thin head wrench by Kent Bergsma can save the day and your pocketbook. It is very important that you hold the fitting base on the oil cooler when removing the oil cooler hoses. A regular 22mm wrench is almost always too thick and can also cause damage.
Loose steering or wheels shaking at speed. This can often be worn out tie rod ball joints. The joints can be replaced as a DIY project. Watch the video below to see if this is something you want to take on yourself.
