1977 240d Brake pedal hard no travel
I have a 1977 240d The brake pedal has gotten hard to push over the last three days. Now I cant press the pedal at all. I checked the brakes at the wheel and the all look fine. I checked the master cylinder but the fluid level looks fine. I checked the booster and there is very little vacuum on the line, Could this be the problem. Is there a certain amount of vacuum that needs to be on there. Also is there a way I can bypass the vacuum on the booster to see if this is the problem.Am I chasing my tail is there some other avenue I should look into. let me know

124 1994 E320 Weather stripping KRYTOX GPL205 or 105??
Has anyone used Krytox to preserve and protect the weather stripping around doors and windows? I bought the thicker GPL205 and now think I should have ordered the thinner 105 for this application.
any thoughts?? Thanks

1980 300td wagon WVO Starting w/STC
Howdy. I'm considering installing a STC conversion to my 1980 300TD wagon, but have a few questions before I do so. When you are running on WVO with the STC 1000 and all the upgrades (Boost Pump, Heated Pathway, Heated filter), how does the engine not need to be flushed out with diesel before shutting down to have proper starting the next day.

1986 190d ran out of fuel!!!???
I ran out of fuel....Engine stopped...I added one gallon from spare can in trunk...car started with little difficulty...I ran over to refuel and filled up.
I drove with out incident for three or four days, but now it will not start. My advisor indicates fuel filter(s??) and strainer may be problem. I have verified fuel in tank and changed fuel filter at front of engine compartment, and still unable to restart. Where is other filter located??
Any help greatly appreciated. Thanks, JEB

84 300SD Vacuum Question
Hi, I recently noticed that my transmission was having one of those downshifting noise when coming to a stop. I Checked this great site and found out that it was a vacuum leak issue. I checked the engine for any thing unusual and I found the vacuum line connected to the green "port?" was indeed disconnected. Connected it back and the tranny had the downshifting issue for while but goes away eventually. Drove the car today and I noticed that the downshifting "clunk" only happens when the engine is cold but shifts fine after the engine is warm.
