103 Engine Quit Fix Guide

I am currently writing a diagnostic guide on how to troubleshoot and repair all the reasons why the 103 engine can quit on you. This 6 cylinder single cam gas engine was installed in the 190E 2.6, 300E, 300TE and 300CE. This guide will cover issues such as not starting at all, quitting cold, starting and then quitting, quitting slowly and just plain quitting whenever it feels like.

Drowned my 300td Help!

Hi: I Live in NE New York & we got hit with flash flooding last Thur. To make a long story short, I drove into a "puddle" that was halfway up my door panel when the car stopped. It didn't sit long as I got pushed out, but... The air filter was soaking wet & water poured out of the turbo when I took the "U" thing off. The starter was fried & now "finally" replaced after many frustrating hours to get 2 bolts out. Anyway, I still can't get it started. Anybody have any ideas of the sequence of diagnosis/repair I should follow that would be applicable to my unsuccessful attempt at turning my wagon into a submarine? Thanks & Happy Thanksgiving!

280sl 1969 engine stops when getting hot

Hi, i have a 1969 280 sl that has been garaged the last 10 years and now i try to put it back on the street. i have good fire and the car starts really good when cold then runs for about 1 minute then stops. When you turn the ignition key on again it starts for 1 second then stops. The only way i can get it to go again for more then 1 second is the next morning.Does anyone knows how to solve this problem.
