Looking for better-staring performance? Are your glow system lights not coming on on your dash even after replacing the glow plugs? It it taking way too long for the glow light to go out ( it should only be on 5 to 10 seconds)?
617 098 05 01. Good used later OM617 turbo intake elbow as shown. Very straight and has no damage with clamps ard seals. One seal is hard, but the big one is still soft but slightly bent. They could still be usable if you don't have something better.

Over the years I have used lots of different methods to clean off rust before applying Miracle Paint. This is the best and quickest method I have found. This is a great tool that can be used for many other things like cleaning off brake hubs and rotors.
Are you tired of your sluggish heater system? Does it take too long to change temperature. Does it get hot when you want it to get cold.
The side trim strips beginning with the W108 Chassis in 1965 and ending with the 123 chassis in 1985 were all held to the body with the same method.
DOES NOT WORK ON THE V12. If your shift lever feels loose or is rattling, that is an almost sure sign that a bushing (or both)on the transmission shifting lever or the console shifter has disintegrated and fallen out.
Works on 110, 115, 116, 123, 201, 126 and 124 diesel engines 200D 220D 240D 300D 300CD 300TD 300SD 190D 300SDL. We have found that over half of the deep sockets we test will not go over some of the longer injectors.
When changing the front crank seal on your older 6 cylinder Mercedes you may or may not need to replace the sealing race that goes on over the front of the crankshaft.
You will get 2 Premium German oil filters for optimum performance with synthetic oil, including all seals, one all-aluminum deep filter wrench, and one aviation-grade lint-free cloth to clean out the oil filter housing.
These seals are not only cosmetic but they also provide a seal to minimize the amount of rain water getting down inside the doors on an older Mercedes.
This kit will work on all 115, 116, 123 and 126 chassis diesels from 1969 to 1987. Almost every old Mercedes diesel I see needs to have the motor mounts changed. If you have a mechanic do it for you it will cost an arm and a leg.

Fuses, supplies, tools and video instructions (below) to restore most older fuse boxes to better than original condition.
Even Kent is amazed at how well this works and especially how he discovered it. It is a mix of two components (chemicals) that are super slippery and create a deep shine "new look" on old plastic and rubber trim parts. The included four oz.
If you are planning to install new glow plugs in your 601 engine, 190D from 1984-1986, it is essential that you ream the carbon out of the holes to prevent premature failure of your new plugs.
Are you having trouble finding the leak in your Airmatic Mercedes? Do not throw parts at it until you do the proper testes. Watch the video below and Kent will explain and demonstrate how this tester can save you $$ and GREAT frustration.
This tank works amazing! Put in the heavy rear end or trans fluid. Pump up the pressure. Stick the non-fall-out end in to fill hole... and just push on the valve in the handle of the filling wand.
For years I just used old shop rags to catch the drips - until I found this! What a great solution. Watch the video below for more details
This video ONLY covers some of Kent's "tips and tricks" on installing a harmonic balancer back onto the front of the crankshaft on an old Mercedes engine. The specific procedure was filmed while doing a front crank seal replacement on a 1983 240D.
Have you dreaded changing the rear end fluid before because it is a pain and ends up being really "messy?" Kent finally decided there had to be a better way so he went to work and came up with the idea of using a simple and affordable custom made pressure tank to "flush" and refill differentials
Valve clearance adjustment should be done every 10,000 to 12,000 miles. Recently emails started coming in - "we can not find any valve adjustment tools for our earlyV8 - help!" Most companies are currently noting the old factory-style tools are no longer being manufactured, so we went to work to
FITS THE FOLLOWING: all 123 chassis sedans and wagons from 1977 to 1985.
This is a drivers side Front OR rear door striker plate. We also offer this item in a full kit with instructions, bolts and special tool. Look below to order the complete kit.
All 380SL, 380SE, and 380SEL owners take note. Even if you acquire a nice 380 like Kent's Cherry you are going to need some or all of these components ( unless of course it was recently done by a competent mechanic ).
Think age here. Many of these shifters on our classic Mercedes are starting to get loose inside the shifter, and when the old bushings fail, you will get a lot of slop side to side when you shift between gears. Note: These bushings are different from the bushing that go on the shift levers.
This is the highly specialized paper gasket that seals the center section forward bearing plate to the compressor wheel housing as shown below:
For later 1973 to 1980, 4.5 V8 engines - 450SL, 450SLC, 450SE, and 450SEL. Very nice set of high-performance wires for your 450V8. But we ask you to check your distributor cap before ordering as there was a change in 1973 and even some 1974 models may have the older orange/ brown color cap.
Every one of these pumps I have ever seen needs resealing. The seals and o-rings become just too hard over all those years of use. This is the most complete SLS (self-leveling suspension) pump overhaul kit on the market today.
PLEASE NOTE: Manual(s) are now available in PDF format and are available for viewing when you log into your account at Mercedessource.
In the video instruction, Kent will show you the step-by-step procedure on how to safely remove the instrument cluster from the dash. It will require our special dash pull tools that can be purchased separately.
I know that many, including some coil-over sellers, recommend just leaving the original pump and hoses in place and plugging them where they attach to the four struts, but I can almost guarantee you will have problems in the future, either with a noisy failing pump, leaking hydraulics, or a possi
Pencil (parallel style) glow plugs usually fail slowly over time. The first signs are rough running after startup. Then you may see a flashing glow plug light on your dash. If ignored over time you engine may not start at all.
Since new original style pumps are no longer made, this is the best way to finally fix your old fuel pump leaks and poor performance. This kit is designed specifically for the W108 and W109 small V8 sedans.
If your transmission is shifting too soon it can really rob your car of power and acceleration. If it is shifting too late it can be very loud and annoying and even affect fuel economy.
Why do you need to do this? Valve clearances are supposed to be adjusted on these early V8s every 10,000 miles. You can imagine why this does not get done! Add to the fact owners can not find the right information or tools and it makes neglect even worse Why not on later model years?
PLEASE NOTE: Manual(s) are now available in PDF format and are available for viewing when you log into your account at Mercedessource. No printed manuals are shipped. If you own a Mercedes with the M117 V8 engine timing chain failure can really ruin your day!
One very minor weakness on the W123 is the glove box door. This is because 2 of the key stress points built into the door are made of plastic. One would be the pin holding the latching mechanism ( Kent already has a repair kit for that - see related products.
New in 2023. This is "almost" ready to install. You will need to install some parts from your existing turbo charger once you remove it from the engine. Watch the video below for a full explanation.
PLEASE READ CAREFULLY BEFORE ORDERING!
Full Kit Both Axles w/ special tool and installation manual. WARNING: This is kit will only work on the ORIGINAL FACTORY U.S. MARKET AXLES THAT CAME ON THE CAR!
DOES NOT INCLUDE ANY METAL FACTORY HARD LINES!!! What you SEE in the picture is exactly what you will receive. Many of these particular big V8 models are now becoming true collector cars and going up in value at a steady rate.
Since new original style pumps are no longer made, this is the best way to finally fix your old fuel pump leaks and poor performance.
How do you know if these parts need replacing? If you have driven 50,000 miles since it was installed or last changed then they need to be replaced to prevent oil from entering your intake manifold.
Set of 5 High Quality Bosch Glow Plugs complete with a detailed Glow plug removal and replacement manual written by Kent Bergsma. These fit 124 chassis 300D 2.5 from 1990 to 1993, and 1989 190D 2.5 ONLY.
