1982 240D Oil Cooler Hose Location
Hi Kent,
I have a slow and annoying oil drip originating at the base of my oil cooler. I suspect the hose connector(s) and/or oil cooler thread fittings.
I've been searching for a replacement cooler and hoses, but everything I've found (including items in your store) show an oil cooler with connections at the top and bottom.
For some reason, the existing hoses and cooler in my car have both input and output connections at the bottom of the oil cooler.

1981 300D vacuum modulator
Through a local dealership I purchased a red modulator for my vehicle.
When I removed the old one I saw that it had a dowl attached to it. I attempted to remove it, but it seems to be part of the modulator. The new one does not have this. Is it a design change, or do I need another part.

1983 300 TD - AC turns to a Hot Blast
Hi All,
I purchased by 1983 300 TD in November 2009 so this is my first summer with Frau Blucher as we have named her. The AC worked well as it started getting warmer. We have had a nice hot summer in Atlanta and I'm getting some interesting behavior from the AC.
On the hottest days when you start out, the air blows cold and the car is comfortable. As long as you are driving it is fine. When you stop to go into a store or something, very often when you start back you get an intense blast of heat out of the vents for at least 3-5 minutes. Sometimes the cool kicks back in and other times it doesn't. It is not just lukewarm air but feels like it is actually heated.

1982 240D Poor Electrical Connection to Starter?
Hi Kent et al.,
I have a 1982 240D with manual transmission. Lately I've been having intermittent starter trouble. I've followed the 'Why Wont My Mercedes Engine Crank Over' guide.
My battery is in good condition and reads 12.4VDC, and I'm confident the charging system is working correctly.
When I jumper the solenoid I get the same behavior as turning the key. Here's what happens:
The solenoid seems to be working properly, and sends current to the starter. The starter spins, but fails to fully engage. I hear a rattling/grinding sound, which sounds like the gears failing to mesh, and instead chattering against each other.
