W126
Water Separator Bowl
So I've got the FM10 Water Separator filter in place, and
I'm wondering if it's okay that my biodiesel is actually
filling the separator bowl and is visible?
I imagined that only water would drain off into it (when present)
but perhaps this is incorrect?
thanks,

"Core Support" location on W126
I bought an FM10 water separator filter for my 1982 300SD, and in
the instructions it suggests that I mount it to the left front "core
support" bracket.
After surveying for a spell, I was unable to locate this bracket
in the engine compartment. Can anyone point me, via other
reference points, to this bracket?
Thanks in advance,

Exhaust Leak From Manifold Or Turbo on a 300SD
I noticed a bit of soot in the instrument panel of my '84 300SD. I also get a few specks of soot on the grille and under the hood. My guess is that I have a minor leak somewhere on the exhaust side of the engine. Is there anywhere that seems prone to leakage? Exhaust manifold gasket, turbo gasket, etc.?
Thanks for any advice you can provide.

1983 300SD touchy wiper switch issue
Wiper/Indicator Stalk Issue
My 1983 300SD thinks that it has automatic wipers! Some instances when I use my turn signal, the wipers intermittently wipe the windshield and will continue to do so until I jiggle the switch or use the turn signal again. It's really quite frustrating and has started to noticeably scratch my windshield!

Vacuum Routing - 1983 300sd
Hey Kent: The vacuum book has help alot,but I have a problem that I cannot find help anywhere. The 3/2 valves are really 2 on top of one another. When I got the car several of the curved lines were rotted,and where they plug into the plastic 5-way connector ( which the rubber conector plugs into) was missing tits. So I used the diagram for the 80 to 81 300D and 240D trying to get the vac working right.I stopped the clunking slowing down to a stop.1,2,an 3rd shift ok but early,but 4th wants to slip then shift. Unless you drag race,it shifts fine.So I drive her in 3rd and shift to 4th on my own. Will the diagram I used work?
