116, New Parts Kits and Manuals

This small rubber cap protects dirt from entering your level indicator on your brake fluid reservoir. Fits 107 114 115 116 123 126 201 and 124 models from the early 70s to mid 1990s.

This large size rubber grommet is a common leak area at the bottom of your brake fluid reservoir. Fits all 107 chassis, 114 and 115 chassis, 116 chassis and 123 chassis from 1972 to 1985.

FITS THE FOLLOWING, all 116, 123, 107, 126, and 201 chassis. This is an original equipment Bosch pump. If you are having heating problems this little unit is often overlooked. When your car is idling at a stop light there is not enough circulation in the engine coolant to get hot water moving through the heater core. This electric powered pump helps to push a consistent water flow through the core. When it fails it can create another problem as well. Not only does it not help push hot water through, but it will actually create a blockage in your heating system.

I have used a LOT of different kinds of grease in my lifetime - but this is my favorite. It has a high molybdenum and grahite content and does not dry out over time. It also has a great resistance to water and moisture deterioration. Just the right consistency - not too thick so it can get into tight places - not too thin so it stays in place.

On the body I use it in door check straps, window gears and mechanisms, seat tracks, door latch assemblies, sunroof cables and gears, hood and trunk hinges and any other metal to metal wear location. On suspension and chassis I use it on wheel bearings, ball joints, tie rods, u-joints, backing plates and more.

This 14 oz can is usually more than enough to service most Mercedes Benz. A must have in your tool box!

New Bosch Heater Blower motor without fan. Fits all 116 chassis 1973 to 1980. Does not come with fan cage, motor only. You will have to install that from your current blower assembly. No instructions included but straight forward installation.

Now in a pak of 25 for even more savings. These are my favorite European hose clamps. They tighten securely, don't cut into the hose, and don't rust or break. If you are working on an SVO  fuel system for any Mercedes I recommend you have these clamps on hand. Cheaps clamps can cuase air leaks leading to great frustration- the US style clamps with holes that cut into the rubber. These clamps will work on all 8 mm hose, 5/16 and 3/8 US spec fuel or coolant hose.

For use with our all fuel specification SUPER FUEL HOSE. CLICK HERE to read more.

If you are going to buy or have just purchased an older 5 cylinder Mercedes Diesel (1975 to 1985) the first thing you need to do is a good physical exam of the engine. It is even better to do this BEFORE you purchase the car to prevent surprises and pain in your wallet. Check out what happened to us recently in our PROJECT DRIVEWAY restoration by CLICKING HERE!

FITS THE FOLLOWING: all 107, 108, 109, 111, 113, 114, 115, 116, 123 and 126 chassis from 1969 to 1991. Four pads included for both sides of rear axle. Tired of sqweeking or squealing or hard brake pedal feel? These are just amazing brake pads. Manufactured by Meyle in Germany these have high quality anti-squeal plates built into the back side of each pad and are scorched at the factory for more driving comfort. What does scorched mean? Let  me explain:

I have gone through a lot of pain dealing with leaks in SVO conversion systems. Vegetable oil has an amazing wicking ability and will leak out of the slightest thread flaw. This is particularly true if you use iron pipe fittings or fittings of dissimilar metals.

This is a must have for any owner of an older Mercedes gas engine model. This applies to all 4, 6 and 8 cylinder from the mid 1950s to the mid 1980s. The manual covers prevention of thread damage and how to repair a totally destroyed spark plug hole. The thread chaser included with the manual with help clean up any minor damage and prevent major problems. Never force a spark plug into the threads and if a plug comes out hard the threads MUST be cleaned with a chaser before you reinstall a new plug.

Fits all Mercedes Diesels that use the 90 degree fuel prefilter. This prefilter is made by Hebmueller of Germany and is excellent quality. It has brass inserts in the ends so they cannot collapse or crack when the fuel hose clamps are tightened down. Now sold individually! If you want more than one, just change your quantity in the shopping cart. We also sell these in a six pack for a better price break.

Diesel purge is amazing stuff! It is getting so popular that we have decided to offer it on the website individually, so now you can buy per can. This injection cleaner is run directly through the fuel system in the engine compartment. It is not a fuel tank additive. Does not include instructions or bypass hose. If you want more than one can just change your quantity in the shopping cart.

Lubro Moly Diesel hi test fuel additive. Formulated for the new low sulfur diesel fuel. Contains an additive against injection pump and injector wear. Keeps the injection system clean. Provides clean, low smoke combustion. Regular use guarantees lowest exhaust emission levels. If you are running petrol diesel it is a must to be using a fuel additive in the older Mercedes diesels. Sold per can, treats 20 gallons.

These are the zip ties we have all been looking for. They have a super sticky tape of the foot of the tie so you can stick them anywhere in your engine compartment without having to drill a hole in the inner fender panel. (NOTE: Be sure to thoroughly clean the surface BEFORE installing). The other neat thing is that these zip ties can be loosened back up (just like the factory type) to remove the wire bundle or anything else you need to secure. Sold in packs of 6. You will love these!

You have asked for it and we have delivered again. Now that all those old power steering pumps are leaking out the front seal we have come up with a kit that will allow you to replace the front seal of your pump at home without any special tools. This kit will work on all power steering pumps on 4 and 5 cylinder diesel engines from 1977 to 1985 (excluding the 190D 2.2).

Kit contains the following:

IMPORTANT NOTE: We do not sell replacement antenna masts by year and model. We have run across too many problems with confusion, interchangeability, and previously swapped antennas. We sell a SMOOTH TAIL mast and a TOOTHED TAIL mast. Smooth tails were used on most of the power Hirschmann antennas up to the early 80's and tooth tails were used on the later masts. For you to order the proper one you must partially remove your current mast and inspect. Is the white plastic tail more or less smooth or does it have teeth in it? The one describe here is the TOOTHED style.

CLICK HERE to view the smooth style.

Brand new Genuine OEM silver wheel center cap. Make those wheels look beautiful again! Fits all 14 inch alloys on 107 116 114 115 123 and 126 chassis
to 1985 with the bundtcake style wheels. If you need more than one, just change your quantity in the cart!

This is the tool I love to use when troubleshooting engine operating temperature problems. You can stand back and aim the beam right on a spot on the radiator or engine to get an exact temperature reading. This can indicate whether or not your radiator is plugged and confirm if your temperature gauge is accurate or not.

If you are running SVO it can give you accurate readings of the temperature of your oil - both during filtering and coming out of your boost heater.

Note: These are currently sold out until I can get some cores returned. We can rebuild your injectors if you send them to us. Cost would be $260 plus postage. Please email before shipping them to us.

If you want Monark Nozzles that are tuned and balanced and don't want to rebuild them yourself we can sell you a set of FIVE Rebuilt Bosch Fuel Injector Housings with high performance Monark Nozzles installed. Each injector has been bench tested and pressure balanced in our shop. All injectors are set to release pressures between 1900 and 1950 psi. This set of injectors will work in all 300SD 1978 to 1985 and all 123 300D 300CD and 300TD with turbo diesel engines.

Injectors will be shipped with new heat shield washers as shown. No instructions included.

Are you weary of the sluggish performance and maintenance hassles of your current SVO WVO Conversion? We are now offering  the two key components of our own STC kits as a performance upgrade to non-Mercedessource conversions. These two key components can be installed to work with any other conversion. From our experience these will give you smoother starts, more horsepower, better fuel economy, longer filter life, and greatly ease the hassles associated with air in the fuel system during filter changes or other periodic maintenance.

Front suspension overhaul is almost always left until one has fixed everything else on the car. We know that most owners can live with some looseness in the suspension, especially when you consider the age of the 116 chassis. But if you want to restore that great Mercedes factory feel and ride (that we all love!) there is no short cut but to replace all the rubber and wear parts in the lower section of your front suspension. NOTE: This kit does not include the upper control arms as we have found many have already replaced those as they often fail first. If yours have not been replaced and you want the full deal, then we recommend you also order those separately. CLICK HERE.

Fits all these chassis from 1968 to 1985. For drain bolt on automatic transmission torque converter. For a complete transmission flush the torque converter must be drained separately. Good to have a new aluminum sealing washer on hand during the service.

If you have read very many of my manuals and instructions you already know how much I detest Silicone Gasket Sealant. I know there are places for silicone (ie bath tub caulking, etc), but it should not be used on internal combustion engines!
