I just got my car back from the Upholstery shop. They were trying to do me a favor and dye the seats. The color they used is too light in my opinion. Does anyone know what I can use to remove the SEM aerosol vinyl dye without causing damage to the vinyl seats?
well i've done it now...was adjusting the valves on my 1980 300d and the #2 intake valve wouldn't adjust. so i kept turning until the adjusting nut was free of the rest of the assembly and is now in my greasy little hand. (i know, not so smart)any ideas how to compress the valve spring to get this little monster back where it belongs so i can actually adjust the valve, move on, and pretend this never happened? thanks.

Hi all. Seems my car is pulling some air into the fuel system from somewhere. I can see tiny bubbles that gather in the clear pre-filter when I rev it up. She runs a little rough after a highway cruise too. I figured the leak must be somewhere before that filter. I have installed a new screen in the fuel tank and a new hose and clamp from the tank screen to the metal fuel line that leads to the engine compartment. Also purchased the fuel line kit and have new hoses and clamps on pre-filter in and out. All clamps are tight. My question is....
I just got kent's nifty door panel remover manual and got to work on both my rear doors. neither of the rear electric windows work. i discovered that the aluminum window regulators are totally warped-so much so that on one side the motor was jammed and on the other the teeth on the regulator are worn way down. they were even really, really hard to get out of the door 'cause they are so bent. thankfully, both the motors seem to work, now that they are free from the jammed, warped mechanism.
Ok...here's the problem: one day, the starter motor failed to engage w/key. We had already replaced the ignition switch due to another issue and it's ok (also tried a spare I had on hand...still no go.) Then, we replaced the park/neutral switch (an ordeal...and it wasn't even bad!)...still no start. I can jump the two terminals on the passenger wheel well and the starter works great. Any ideas where to go from here? I'm almost ready to rig up a pushbutton start!
I've asked this before, so I guess this is an update. My 79 240d takes forever (5 to 10 seconds) to show oil pressure. Kent asked if I'd changed the tube o'rings in the oil cannister.I did, but thought maybe I should pull it out and double check and make sure they were good.
The o'rings were fine, but there was no oil in the cannister.Shouldn't there be oil in the cannister after the car sits for awhile?
What holds the oil in the cannister!?
Anyone know?
