Small vacuum lines
I recently purchased a 79 300TD wagon. I have discovered many hidden problems with the car since I purchased the vehicle. The main one is the discovery of a 3" hole behind the battery and tray. It was hidden by a poor fiberglass patch job and the battery.This has been leaking into the car and sitting on the rear passenger floor boards. The floorboards are also rotting and hidden by rubber undercoat. Anyhow, when I bought the car I knew it needed a new heater servo and amplifier.

560SL squeeling noise
I have a 1986 sl. When I start quickly from a stop, I get a loud squeeling noise coming from underneath the car. If I start out slowly I don't hear it. I also get it when I accerlerate to pass someone. I thought it was a fanbelt problem, but it isn't. It's been going on for years and does not affect the performance of the car

I tried loosening the passenger side 8mm allen head but it is siezed. Getting to the 6mm allen head bolts on top of the mount looks to be a challenge. Any suggestions.........John

Suspension problem on '83 240D
So the other day I was out driving and started hearing a loud clicking noise whenever my '83 240D was in gear. I assumed it was the brakes since the rear brakes need to be done, but when I got out of the car and took a look I noticed that the rear right wheel was angled away from the body of the car. I jacked the right side up to get a better look at the suspension, but I know more about engines than I do suspensions and I really was just looking for something obvious that was broken.

Loud reverberating whining noise coming from dashboard
Roughly 5-10 minutes after start (seemingly on colder days) my 1978 300D emits a loud reverberating whine that seems to come from the driver's side of the dash. While intermittent, it is quite unsettling. The best description I can give for the sound is that it is similar to the sound one might hear from a poorly lubricated fan (where the grease in the motor is caked with grime). The sound happens without either climate control or defrost on. Is it A/C related or something more serious? I know the vacuum system is in that general vicinity, but what else might be causing the problem?

85 300D Euro vs. US diffs?
Diesel Fans,
I am looking at buying a 85 300D that the current owner claims was delivered in Germany and then shipped by the original owner to the US. Can anyone summarize the differences between Euro and US models? Anything I should be concerned or worried about, e.g. part availability, passing inspections, etc.? The car will be registered in Missouri.
Thanks!

300D frozen wont start,
Hi All,
I have a 84 300D , it was out in the subzero for a week, it is in the garage now, unheated, Chicago area. I tried many times to jump it when it was out side, now it is in 40 degree's but still wont start. Could the fuel injection have sucked air in if the fuel was frozen? if so how do i go about bleeding this system
thanks adam
