I purchased a higher output alternator for my 300sdl however it doesn't have a voltage regulator in it. My stock alternator has an internal voltage regulator. What do i do? Can I install a external one? What specs do i need to know? Where can i get one? thanks
I have changed the oil on a diesel 123 for a friend and after pouring in the new oil I checked the stick and it was instantly black! Is there a remedy? Perhaps a detergent to flush engine?
This question has been driving me crazy since this summer.
The A/C on my car works fine until I am forced to slow down or come to a stop, when this happens the A/C quits blowing cold and starts blowing extremely hot air, hotter than the highest heater function. My theory is that the phenomena happens in conjunction with a downshift in the transmission but beyond that I don't know what to do. The dealer wanted to start throwing parts at it but that can be very expensive without knowing. The compressor seems to be ok.
Help would be appreciated.

For a couple of years I've seen your notice about the weak Behr radiator neck and the suggestion to fix it with your repair kit. But it would never happen to me, right?
Last week I found what I thought was a loose clamp on the neck of the radiator. When tightening the screw the hose came off in my hand taking off the first inch or so of the neck with it! Digging out the small end the neck from the inside of the hose I ordered the repair kit from you and made a very successful repair.
Thanks for coming up with that kit-you saved me mucho bucks and aggravation I don't need.
Hi, all.
Three times that I attempted to start my car today, the engine didn't turn over right away, and I heard a spinning sound. Would it be safe to assume this is either the solenoid or the enitre starter motor?
Thanks!

My problem has been coming on slowly, it seems whenever starting the car hot or cold i have to depress the accelerator pedal once before turning the key and it will start no problem, use to not have to do that. now that it is getting colder outside after doing this procedure on the first start of the day the engine seems to have a low rough idle and sometimes have to hold the accelerator with slight pressure to keep the car from stalling, also some of the time the idle will slowly surge a few times, once the coolant temp gauge starts to rise the problem will go away.
My fuel gauge does not work. It used to read about 1/4, but now doesn't read at all. I read a post here about cleaning the sending unit, but cannot find it. Is there a diagram available of the wiring for the unit? What do I have to remove to get to it on an 85 300TD with a rear seat?
Cruise control not working. No accceleration, nothing.
1979 300SD suddenly lost power this afternoon ... the battery will not hold a charge.
The Internal Alternator Voltage Regulator was replaced.
Afterwards, for a few minutes, there was in intermittent "screeching sound" which has not reoccurred.
The old regulator, a Bosch unit that was made in Brazil look tired to say the least. Were the original regulators etc all made in Brazil?
When turning the ignition key, the battery warning light stays on in the dash cluster ... but none of the other lights work.

What is the yellow two way replacement?
