1988 300TE Intermittant engine stalling, not restarting.
Kent, this car has been plagued with the same problem as long as we have owned it. (about ten years) I have done new points and plugs several times and the car has run better but it still will go through occasional fits of dieing in the road and not restarting. It has remained dead for several days and begun running again weather I have done anything to it or not. It has dropped in its tracks within 24 hrs of a complete tune up and it has gone 20K without a hiccup.

92 300D 2.5T - Carbon Sludge in Crossover and Intake
I purchased this vehicle about 18 months ago with 153K. It is not a daily driver. When driven it is on trips of several hundred miles at 75 - 80 mph. I recently had the vacuum shutoff valve go bad at approximately 160K. I decided if I was going to replace the shut off valve I would do a complete glow plug replacement, replace injector nozzles then balance injectors and of course replace the return fuel lines. I purchased evrything threw Mercedes Source and the job has been straight forward.

1987 300td electric tilting sunroof repair
1987 300td electric tilting sunroof seems like something broken on one side of track and won't close from the tilted up position. Motor seems to be running ok. I saw the manual for the earlier non tilting models would that be helpful, or are they completely different? Thanks.

1987 300DT, Brake Dust Covers
What are the pros and cons of using "Kleen Wheels" brake dust covers to minimize the accumulation of brake dust on the exterior of wheels? Do the dust covers significantly, dangerously, reduce the cooling air flow to the brakes?
