1985 190D 2.2: where is the fuel prefilter?
I'm perhaps exposing my ignorance, but where is the fuel prefilter on my engine? The picture included with the filter kit doesn't help me, as I can't locate just where that refers to. I suppose it's possible that the prefilter was removed at some time.
Since I plan to replace the gunked-up filter in the tank, I'd like to have a good prefilter in place to catch whatever I stir up in the process.

Using Mercedessource kit in a 1980 300sd
Has anyone converted a 1980 300sd with the MS kit. I have done my 1984 300sd and just purchased a 80 300sd and the engine compartment is way different. I am refering to the physical layout specifically. Thank you.

No Kickdown '83 300D
It seems I am going one step forward one step backward. Modulator was replaced on tranny. Car still shifts on the positive side but much smoother. But in the process I lost the kick down. Also when I come to a stop there is a noticeable clunk with the final downshift to first.
I don't know where to start troubleshooting.

Mercedes does not carry the speaker vinyl speaker cover any longer. So my next step is to try and repair. How do I remove the cover? it appears that it may snap in and out, but I don't want to force it and break something.

1975 300D Post Valve Adjustment Pinging OK?
I adjusted my valves for the first time a few weekends ago. Two exhaust and one intake needed adjustment. Engine runs better but it seems to ping more when it's cold. Is this normal and/or OK. I certain that I did the adjustment correctly. Thanks.
