300SD warm/hot start problem
MY 126 starts great when the engine's cold, but has trouble starting when the engine's warm/hot. I have to crank the engine for 5-7 seconds, then stop and wait. Repeat. Repeat again. Finally, it will get started (With lots of smoke out the back). Any ideas why this is happening?

Significant water condensating in my trunk. Posted Feb 14, 2007
The water accumulates even when the car is sitting. I have even covered it with a car cover and still got the condensation. It covers the entire inside lid of the trunk.
