Car came with badly damaged trunk lock - vacuum system not working so previous owner bashed open the lock with a hammer and screwdriver!?! Anyway, anyone know where I can get a replacement lock with a key before I start searching salvage yards?
This seems to be an overly common problem on the 123 chassis, yet I can't seem to find anyone else talking about it.
The interior color-coded plastic surrounds for the doors and hatch are all warped and buckled. Seems like every 123 I've seen that wasn't always garage kept has this problem.
My question is, what do most folks do about it? Rip it all off and leave the painted metal showing?
I just bought a new heater motor because my old one would blow the fuse contuinually. Sometimes instantly, or sometimes after 20 minutes. I took it to an electric motor shop and he pointed out how it was bad- the bearing were shot, which I wasn't suprised because it had been squealing awfully since I owned the car. However, after installing the new heater motor on monday, I went out today to find that the fuse was blown. What could be causing this? It's blowing the #8 fuse (16amp) and the White AC Crossover Idle stabilization one. Is the aux pump on this?
I recently replaced the line that runs from the temperature sensor on the dash to the blower motor. The foam portion of the line behind the glove compartment had disintegrated. It was probably like this for many years. The blower motor or some other part of the blower is very noisy now. Any recommendations to quiet it down would be greatly appreciated.
I have a crack running all the way across the glass. I was lucky enough to find and 84 300sd at a local junkyard with a perfect windshield in it. They said they would remove it and reinstall it in mine for a reasonable price. An hour later they called back to tell me that they couldn't remove it without a special tool or they would break it. I haven't been able to find any literature on the subject and much less a special tool. Any help here would be greatly appreciated. I have never replaced a windshield on any vehicle, but I am confident I can given the right information.
I have a noise that sounds like an air leak in my interior/dash board. The noise is a squeeky loud air noise and happens when the car is moving more than 60 MPH, however if I let off the fuel pedal the noise will stop. It appears to be directly related to throttle position as the noise will get louder as I accelerate and will quiet down on deceleration and will dissapear altogether when just cruising below 60 MPH. Any idea what this is and how I can trouble shoot. Any help would be very much appreciated.
Hi all at Mercedessource and site users. I am in the process of elimating the leaks in my front and rear windshields. The leaks in the rear not only make my trunk smell musty but I think they may be the reason my rear dash has buckled on the side of the dash where the first aid kit sits. (I have nothing heavy in the first aid kit.) My question is; how does that rear dash come out? And if any one else has had this problem, what course of action did you take? Are there new dashes, or covers available like the front?
Hi all. I have the typical water leaking in the front windshield and rear due to the seals being 25 years old I am guessing. My question is: The rubber on the outside of the car under the shiny trim piece, is that a seperate seal from the rubber that is on the inside of the car that the glass sits on? Or is it all one big gasket?
