W116, BENZ AID - COMMON QUESTIONS AND ANSWERS

Just bought an 84SD Turbo Diesel. Problems are as follows. 1) Transmission gears 1-3 work and shit fine. Shifting out of third and into fourth I have to let of the pedal around 3000 rpm and then it will shift into fourth. 2) The Driver's side front tire vibrates bad, the previous owner said that either the tie rod end or the ball joint was replaced but could not recall which one. When you turn the tire all the way to the left it looks like it leans out to far. 3) The high pressure line has a leak in it so I imagine I need to get that replaced rather rapidly.

I converted the fuel lines on my '82 300DT and plan to run B100 biodiesel consistently. I heard about the need for adding lubricity to low sulfer petrodiesel but does anyone know if too low of lubricity is a problem with biodiesel? The only fuel addative I have used so far is a product called "Killem" to clean out the fuel tank.

I was wondering if someone who has a 200D or 220D Mercedes with A/C can send me photos of how the compressor mounts on the engine and how the belts run? I am looking to add A/C to my 1967 200D using a stock A/C compressor and parts from vintage air. The photos can be emailed to: oncken@earthlink.net Thanks for the help in advanced

I am a new owner of a 1967 200D and am looking for a good place to purchase new weather stripping for the entire vehicle, as well as a few electrical items. Anyone know a good company? Thanks for any help.
