My zebrano? dash wood that covers the climate control is warped, or cupped. I have the recommended adhesive, and it's worked great on some of the long rectangular pieces of dash trim. I was looking for some advice before I try oiling up the piece of trim and weighing it down with a stack of books.
Any ideas?
I am having a 'rough idle' issue I cannot seem to resolve; I will categorize as mild because I have worked on a two 240D (1980, 1981) and I was able to perform the recommended maintenance to have them idle very smoothly.
Additionally, hard initial start or it quits right after initial startup, then I am getting a blue smoke from the exhaust at the initial startup and for about 10 minutes before complete warmup.
Here is what I have done up to this point using the manuals, advice, and parts from mercedessource:
How is this removed? Special tool(s) required? I need to do some rust repair and it looks as if I can leave the rear window in place and just R and R the molding. Probably will have to buy new molding??
There isn't a glass shop here in Baja (Tijuana area) that I trust and I sure cannot afford to take it to the states.

My driver’s side hood at the hinge is slightly elevated above the fender. Is there an adjustment for this or is it fixed and thus requiring a hinge replacement? Thanks, Bill
1974 240D - How do you access the blower fan for the heating system and is there a switch to change between heat and AC?
Thank You!

Greetings,
I can hear some clunking with riding over bumps in the road. I read
Kent's SLS troubleshooting guide for some tips. All of the following
checked out: no leaks, fluid level good, pump working, sway bar links tight,
pulled an accumulator and seal good.
What isn't working is the manual operation of the leveling valve. I can
also see some cracks in the differential mount. The valve was replaced
1-2 yrs ago. I have a new mount, but stopped upon finding the valve was not
responding to manual operation. Any ideas/suggestion?
I have a 1981 300SD. Fixed my A/C. Now all my A/C blows out the defroster. I noticed all modes are 80% out the defrost ducts. Where do I go next? Vacuum? Electrical? Any diagrams available for either?
I do show 15" vacuum at the source. Low I know... seems to be the shift diaphragm on the pump. It also takes about 10 seconds to shut down after key off.
What's next?
thanks,
Bob
