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.

This can replace that old, hardened, and worn-out seal at the bottom of your V8 air filter housing to prevent dirt and dust from entering your. Check yours soon to see how tight it fits on top of the fuel distributor.
This critical coolant hose hardly ever gets changed, and when it ruptures, you could experience a catastrophic engine failure. The chief reason is that it is almost impossible to see and inspect.
Set of upper and lower main radiator hoses as shown.
in this detailed 38-minute video Kent will walk you step-by-step through the procedures of removing the old belts, installing the new belts, and tightening them properly. When changing your V-belts there are other things you should consider replacing as well.
If your engine is taking too long to heat up or is constantly running "hot" it is probably time to replace the thermostat. Kent explains in the video below some other parts you should consider replacing at the same time.
New water pump and gasket as shown. Plan to change the short hose and thermostat at the same time. Inspect v-belts and change if cracked.
The bearing in this pulley wears out at 80,000 to 120,000 miles and can cause rumbling sounds while the engine is running. A good time to plan to replace or at least inspect this is when you change the V-belts.

This accumulator was unique in the mid to late 1970s. It was used on all 6.9s but only some 450 V8 models. That is why you MUST know which type you have BEFORE ordering. You can clearly see the two threaded holes coming into the front of the accumulator housing.
As a safety preventative measure, replace this hose if it shows signs of hardening or cracking. This hose is under 90 psi; if it cracks and spews fuel, you can have an instant engine fire.
