I purged the injectors system with your system/purge, since then I have a slow diesel leak I cannot find?? It is in the engine compartment but not from the connections I had to change for the purge. Were can I look for other leaks?
Lower coolant line leaking at the radiator. Got the two lines unscrewed at both ends and the clamp removed. Is it possible to remove these lines without lifting the left side of the engine and removing the motor mount?
If the mount must be unbolted, is it possible to remove just the screws that attach the motor mount arm to the engine and then just the motor up to slide the lines over the arm and under the engine?

I have purchased a thermostat from Mercedessource and have flushed the cooling system. My service manual states that the thermostat body and thermostat for a turbo model must have a green mark. The Behr thermostat I removed has a green centre pin. The replacement one does not. What does the green pin on the thermostat mean. Also you show somewhere how to drill modify a new thermostat. Can you post a link to this.
Thanks in advance.

Have a blown radiator which I pulled- How do I do an engine compression check to rule out cracked head or blown head gasket w/o the rad in place? Doesn't make sense to reinstall the radiator (-it's blown) or install a new rad just to test. Any ideas will be welcome as none of the mechanics down here seem to have any clue...
Two days ago, when over a bump and the car "creaked".
This morning, when I turn or take a curve, a big CLUNK-CLUNK-CLUNK from the rear the car.
What could it be?
I recently purchased this 83, 123 chassis Turbodiesel about 3 months ago. It has 160K miles and has been very well maintained. I recently replaced the injectors, glow plugs, adjusted the valves twice, with three weeks between adjustments, and the compression currently checks out at 340,380,380,380,380. I got quite a bit of benefit from doing a diesel purge, banjo cleanout, and ALDA adjustment. All of my efforts are aimed at bringing this car as close to optimal operations as possible.
I am considering changing my 85 wagon from sls to spring and shock. What springs and shocks do I need to order? Are there any other recommendations you might have ? Thank you.
Driving down the interstate on my way to a gig (I'm a musician)- First noted the BATT light come on-Which I assumed correctly to be a shot belt- but also noted the engine was overheating.This is a new (3yrs old) OEM BEHR radiator I installed) Pulled over-antifreeze all over, radiator cap intact,but the top of the radiator was tilted about 20 degrees from horizontal, tilting up at the engine side, exposing the rubber tubular gasket around the top, and the metal mesh underneath. Obviously bent up somehow and in doing so disconnected the plastic housing.
n/a How do you remove the two top trim strips on the hard top. Do they snap out, or are they attatched from below.
My injection pump is failing. How do I purchase a used IP and be sure it will fit my engine? What, if any, part numbers are necessary to insure a proper match? And, where are the part numbers located on the IP?
