seems like there is something wrong with the front suspension on this car. when we lift it up in the frame hoist the motor drops a couple inches.
it looks like the subframe for the suspention is linked through some little control arms with some kind of mounts through the center of the coil spring. whats going on?help?
64 220se coupe bogs at full throttle and seems to run a little ruff at other times. when it does bog it sort of feels like it dies for a second or 2. i'm not at all familiar with this old fi system either. it doesn't backfire. the rest of the performance seems ok.
My 1985 300D is becoming unreliable in starting. After warming the glow plugs turning the tumbler to "start" will not always engage the starter. Further, sometimes holding the tumbler in the "start" postion will have a noticeable delay in engaging the starter solenoid, if it happens at all. The battery is new and is fully charged. The starter was replaced just a few weeks ago with a new rebuilt Bosch. Is the problem in the tumbler, or is there some other relay that I don't know of?
My 1983 300d has roughly 12-15 in/Hg of vacuum at idle. It fluctuates very very rapidly between 12 and 15 on the gauge. Does this mean that the check valve and the vacuum pump are bad? When you rev the engine up to 2000-2500 rpms, I get around 20-22 in/Hg and it still fluctuates very rapidly. I am checking the vacuum at the main servo line that runs to the brake booster. Any insight would be greatly appreciated bcs the price of these parts is defintely not cheap. Thanks for the help!!!!!!

I have not seen a reduction in oil consumption and still have a good bit of smoke at start up. My car is burning approx. 2 quarts per 300 miles. 211,000 on the clock. Runs great, seems to have full power and starts up every morning. What should be my next step in reducing the amount of oil being burned? (I have no leaks) I am using delo 400 15/40 or rotella 15/40.
Any advice would be appreciated... thank you.
After pulling up the front carpet pads up on my 1983 TD wagon, I found a layer of fractured/broken material between the carpet and the metal of the lower firewall. Outer material is hard and the inner layer is a black insulation/foam. I suppose since it's all broken and falling apart I have no choice but to remove it....I'm just wondering if this is normal on the TD, since I know my 240D has nothing like it, and what (if anything) it means that it has all broken apart?
Thanks!
I was checking out the alert section of this fantastic web site and one of the alerts was on the flex couplers on the older high mileage cars. A week later mine went. I should of inspected them imediatly and saved some head aches. Luckily I do have a parts car which is a 1981 and the drive line appears to be in good shape. I have ordered new flex plates, the center bearing and associated rubber parts. Anything special I should look for when replacing the drive line. I'll let you know how it goes and what all the calateral damage is. Moral to the story read the alerts and act quickly.
