W123
82 300TD high operating temperature
kent
1982 turbo diesel wagon. great runner. no mechanical or fuel issues. always ran about 180 or so degrees. just barely above the 175 f mark on the gauge.
recently...maybe over a month or two. it is rising to near
200. (the next hashmark on the guage) or sligly above with in stop and go. and then drops to about about 185-190 at 60 mph. my usual cruising speed.
outside temps around 95 (though outside temp doesnt really have much of an effect...samre readings day or night)

300TD'83 : 617 Turbo Rack Damper
I have the new 617 Turbo Rack Damper and instructions, ready to replace the old one.
Before I start, it looks VERY tight in there!
Do I have to remove the oil filter housing to do this?
No mention of this in instructions, but I've read elsewhere that it is necessary. Thanks.

'80 123 Odometer sticks at xx9.9
The odometer sticks at xx9.9...eventually turning again but sticking long enough to make the trip meter useless. It must have been going on for a long time...total miles are under 80K. Something needs some grease?
