1982 300D Mild engine shake and smoke exhaust at initial startup
I am having a 'rough idle' issue I cannot seem to resolve; I will categorize as mild because I have worked on a two 240D (1980, 1981) and I was able to perform the recommended maintenance to have them idle very smoothly.
Additionally, hard initial start or it quits right after initial startup, then I am getting a blue smoke from the exhaust at the initial startup and for about 10 minutes before complete warmup.
Here is what I have done up to this point using the manuals, advice, and parts from mercedessource:

1984 model 123 rear window molding
How is this removed? Special tool(s) required? I need to do some rust repair and it looks as if I can leave the rear window in place and just R and R the molding. Probably will have to buy new molding??
There isn't a glass shop here in Baja (Tijuana area) that I trust and I sure cannot afford to take it to the states.

1983 300D Turbo Hood Hinge
My driver’s side hood at the hinge is slightly elevated above the fender. Is there an adjustment for this or is it fixed and thus requiring a hinge replacement? Thanks, Bill

'80 Wagon self leveling suspension question
Greetings,
I can hear some clunking with riding over bumps in the road. I read
Kent's SLS troubleshooting guide for some tips. All of the following
checked out: no leaks, fluid level good, pump working, sway bar links tight,
pulled an accumulator and seal good.
What isn't working is the manual operation of the leveling valve. I can
also see some cracks in the differential mount. The valve was replaced
1-2 yrs ago. I have a new mount, but stopped upon finding the valve was not
responding to manual operation. Any ideas/suggestion?

Rough idle after warm up 1985 300D
I bought this car Nov 2004 and it had a rough idle when warmed up. In an effort to solve this I set the valves, replaced the injectors with rebuilt ones. No help. Meanwhile, and for other reasons, I installed a rebuilt engine Jul 2006. By Sep 2006 it too was idling rough after warm up.
Once again I verified valve settings and replaced the injectors with rebuilt units. I also replaced and adjusted the damper bolt, replaced the the motor mounts, transmission mounts and the engine shocks. No help.
In Jun 2007 I went all out and put in a dealer supplied rebuilt injection pump. No help.

1980 300D engine temperature
My 300D runs right around 85 degrees in town, but when I get out on the highway and travel at 75 mph for more than an hour or so, the temperature gauge creeps up to between 95 and 100 degrees. Is this problematic? On that note, how do you guys feel about Zerex G05 coolant? Hard to find Mercedes coolant in my neck of the woods.
