Overheating 93 300d 2.5
Mmmmm so my 300d 2.5 with 176k miles started to overheat at the beginning of the summer. I replaced a worn out fan clutch which fixed the issue for a few months. However now it's starting to run hot again, even worse if I run the a/c or drive hard. I have a thermostat to install however are the water pumps known for going out or the radiators for clogging? Car has no coolant leak. No other driveability issues runs great idle is perfect.

86 300SDL Wont Shut Off
I just replaced the fuel filters and now the engine will not shut off. What did I do wrong?
My 86 300SDL has be doing 24-28 mpg for the past 6 years, but recently is has dropped to 14 mpg after sitting idle for 6 months. I replace the fuel in the tank with fresh fuel but mpg dropped significantly.
Now it will not shut off. What to do?

300D 2,5 1991.
I have purchased a thermostat from Mercedessource and have flushed the cooling system. My service manual states that the thermostat body and thermostat for a turbo model must have a green mark. The Behr thermostat I removed has a green centre pin. The replacement one does not. What does the green pin on the thermostat mean. Also you show somewhere how to drill modify a new thermostat. Can you post a link to this.
Thanks in advance.

1985 Mercedes 300TD Injection Pump Replacement?
My injection pump is failing. How do I purchase a used IP and be sure it will fit my engine? What, if any, part numbers are necessary to insure a proper match? And, where are the part numbers located on the IP?
