1984 300 D fuel reserve light.
Hi all. My fuel guage works with the exception of the "low fuel light". When I go to start the car the light shows so I know the bulb is good. It just does'nt light when the fuel gets low to the point where it should come on. Can I take the sending unit out of the tank and see if the contacts that would trigger the light are some how being impeded? Can I perhaps clean the contacts rather than spring for a new sending unit. I can live without the light but will try an easy cheap fix.
Thanks Mike G.

1984 300D Noisy Turbo
I have a strange noise that sounds like a fan with bad bearings. I hear it when the car is under load (going up hill) or just hard acceleration. Sounds to me like it is coming from the turbo. Is there any typical recomended areas to inspect that would cause this such as the EGR valve or intake manifold for this car. Also is there a cleaning solution that can be directly sprayed into the Turbo?

Trans X for a well transmission ??
I read with interest your assessment on the use of Trans X. I just ordered a filter kit for my 1982 240D automatic. I have faithfully serviced the transmission over my 19 year ownership of the car. I have dealt with an occasional vacuum leak and modulator adjustment. The car has 230K and aside from a slight premature upshift to 4th gear the car runs and shifts fine.

1977 240d - missing heat shields?
I am replacing the injectors in my 77 240d with rebuilt injectors bought from this site. After removing the old injectors I did not find any heat shields in the pre-chamber, or at least it seems there are none. There is certainly nothing that can be picked out using the little angle pick sent with the socket kit.
Is it possible that the car did not have heat shields? Or am I just not trying hard enough to get the old ones out?
Here is a link to a picture showing one of the pre-chambers. Can someone tell whether I am looking at the bottom of the chamber?

1982 300 td Radiator Neck Failure
Well sure enough, my very clean and tight TD's radiator neck failed while driving and I am glad I am an assiduous gauge checker. When the temp started heading up above 100 I pulled off the road and found the hose off and quite a mess. There was enough of the neck remaining for me to reattach the hose and make my way home.
I am wondering if I can use the reinforcement kit and a piece of ABS or some such to fashion a new radiator neck instead of buying a new radiator. I'd much rather spend that money on replacing the rear window gasket of the CD.
Thanks for your help.
