After years of "fighting" fuse replacement, Kent finally decided he had had enough! And so was born another special tool. It is designed to securely grab hold of a ceramic fuse, remove it from it, and replace it with minimal exertion and no damage.
Fuses, supplies, tools and video instructions (below) to restore most older fuse boxes to better than original condition.
This is another small "frustration" for W123 diesel owners. The fuse box cover is mounted flat to the firewall behind and to the left of the brake booster. You can not just pull it straight out nor can you just push it straight back on.
Fuses, supplies, and video instructions (below) to restore most older fuse boxes to better than original condition.
Fits chassis 116 123 126 124 and 201 Diesels with pencil glow plugs, from 1978 to 1989. This includes the OM617, OM601, OM602, and OM603 engines. They also work on 1977 to 1979 300D 300CD and 300TD with series glow plugs. This pack includes three individual fuses.
Have you been having electrical problems in your older Mercedes? Maybe you have taken the fuse box cover off and wiggled a few fuses and it has solved the problem for a while. You probably noticed corrosion on the tips of the old aluminum fuses.
This is such a big problem on early 1977 to 1979 123 240D diesels that I decided a good replacement kit was in order. Often I find the main feed wire loose or frayed, the fuse box cracked or melted, and the fuse connector points corroded or loose.

50 amp fuses were used on most 123 240D diesel glow plug systems due to the lower amp draw. 80 amp fuses will also work but some may choose to go with original spec. Check the number on the center of the fuse you are currently using. It should read either 50 or 80.
Yes, there may be a fuse inside or outside your fuse box that controls your heater blower motor or another high amp draw electrical component. Most of the separate fuse holders require a 30 amp fuse. You may find a funny looking bent fuse inside your fuse box.
This is an excellent replacement if yours has melted and deformed.
When an old Mercedes ( or any other car for that matter ) has sat idle for over a year it can be a challenge to get it safely back on the road again. If it has sat idle for more than 5 years you may find it difficult to even get the engine running.

Tired of having to pull and hold the glow / starter knob on your old 110 or 115 chassis diesel? Hand getting tired? Waiting forever to get the glow plugs hot enough to start the engine? Wish the glow plugs would not burn out so often?
WARNING: PLEASE confirm you have the original engine in your diesel BEFORE ORDERING this kit. We keep getting owners ordering this kit only to find out a later model engine has been installed. This happens quite often.
6/6/23 Update: Now with a liquid filled pressure gauge installed to increase accuracy and reliability. We customize, test and recalibrate this fuel pressure tester before we ship it.
In this video Kent will walk you through the step-by-step procedures he uses when diagnosing and repairing an older Mercedes diesel engine that either won't start or is very difficult to start.
Replace your old and worn knob with this inexpensive genuine Mercedes part.
People call these two units pressure regulators, but really only one of them is. In this xx minute video, Kent will explain how these are different, what each one does, how to adjust them, and how to test them with a hand pump vacuum tester.
In this 8-minute video, Kent will show you how to quickly depressurize your D-Jetronic fuel system before doing any injector service, replacing any hoses, or hooking up our fuel pressure tester.
This kit will put a smile on your face, especially if you have done it before the "old way." Watch the video below for full instructions on how to use this kit to do the fastest fuel system depressurization in the world!
Since the original style Bosch electric pumps are no longer available, Kent decided to come up with a good alternative.
This an instructional "how-to" video that comes with our ACCIII performance upgrade it. It will show you how to install a protective fuse for your auxillary water pump and how to replace the rotton foam climate control hose under your dash. Total run time is 16:29.
