W116, Manuals by Kent Bergsma

I own a 1976 W116 280S that used to run perfectly well but now problem is with its carburetor. Sometimes the float chamber has to be adjusted in order to run the engine and this is happening so frequently that I need a lasting solution to the problem. Otherwise at the rate which am experiencing the problem, I might get stuck right in the middle of nowhere.

Hello, I just did a complete brake job on my 1979 300SD. Replaced all the rotors, calipers, and brake pads, as well as the master cylinder. It all went fine, except now when I turn, there is a grinding noise that comes from the front wheels, it's like the brakes are grinding, but it only happens when I'm not driving straight. Any Suggestions? Thanks, Jeff

the left hand bank hydraulic lifters are not working. this happened while the engine was ticking over at 800rpm. the revs dropped off gradually until the engine syopped. all the lifters do not rise even though the oil pressure while cranking the engine is good. i am using the "left hand" term as stated in the manual,it is actually the right hand bank when view from the front of the vehicle. any ideas?
