W116, BENZ AID - COMMON QUESTIONS AND ANSWERS

I havea 190 E and 16 valve mercedes.I wrote to you before asking why it only started when i primed it and followed your suggestions.I replaced the Fuel Accmulater,Fuel filter and cheak valve.primed it and starts but will not stay running.as if it was out of gas.The fuel pump is making alot of noise can this be my problem to.Like i said in my first letter will start if i prime it but now it only stays started till prime runs out.ANY SUGGESTIONS WILL HELP .THANK YOU.

I recently changed the fluid and filter for the automatic transmission in my 1980 300D. I'm not sure how many versions of the fluid pan Mercedes made, but mine has a drain plug that screws in to the pan through the filler line. The plug has opennings in it that allow the fluid to pass through to fill the pan. I cleaned everything well and replaced the aluminum washers with new copper ones, so I was surprised to find it leaking. I was thinking about putting a thin layer of RTV on the washers to improve the seal, but was wondering if there are any other fixes I could try first.

Not so much a question as some tips
Kent once again has takin the guess work out installing new brushes.
This is a back bender!
If you're real careful, you don't need to remove the underdash cover(fabric)
Loosen the screws and carefully pull towards the rear of the car.
won't move much, but enough to able to pull the plastic cover away from the "waffle" motor/fan cover.
{Left it in because I couldn't figure out how to yank the cover which is fastened with staples to the duct}
Remember: IF YOU FORCE THINGS THEY WILL BREAK!!!!!
As Kent says "take your time"
Well
Took the housing out and used this stuff called "Tuff Stuff" (spray foam cleaner)and cue tips and carefully rinsed the cage with water. DO NOTE SOAK MOTOR.
Sprayed the armature and such with contact cleaner
