Hello, I have an old engine that is blowing by oil and making my air cleaner very oily, so in lieu of this I have seen cold air systems on 300tds ,& I was wondering if this would 'fix' my dielema of having to replace the air filter, because it is a direct system, seperating the air and oil. Am I understanding this right, I have only seen pictures so ... just wondering...any insight out there... Thanks ! James

My car will no longer start. For a while when I turned the ignition key, I had to wait between 2-5 secs for the engine to start. Now, the starter is turning over, but other than that--nothing. The glow plugs seem to be good (I tested them at the relay without removing); the battery reads 12.3V (I know this is on the low side, but even with the car jumped by my other working vehicle, the car still won't start); and I just changed the fuel filter (I've been running biodiesel for 11 months and have changed the fuel filter 4 times since then) thinking this might be the issue. Still, nothing....

Hi, I have a 1982 300TD. I am experiencing some strange instrument cluster behavior and I'm wondering if someone might chime in on how to fix it. I've removed the cluster a few times to make sure that all connections are sound and as far as I can tell, they are. Quite randomly, the fuel gauge and the temperature gauge start to jump a bit. If I switch the headlights on, the fuel and temperature needles get more jumpy, the buzzer goes on and off and the instrument cluster light turns off. The pressure gauge and others work as expected though I have to use a flashlight to see it. Thanks!
