82 300 SD When I start out in drive it will not shift up the gears. When I let up on the throttle and go to N and back to drive it shifts to the next gear and so on. Will a filter kit help me out or do you think I'm in for a major?
I want to replace serpentine belt on "93 300D. 1. How do I release tension on belt? 2. Does fan shroud need to be removed? Thank you for advice, Luther
1985 300DT For some reason the tach will quit working periodically, when it does the AC also only blows warm air. What is the connection and how can I repair it? You can stop, turn the ignition off and restart and everything will work correctly again...for a short time.
I have a question about the "Manual Climate Control Override" kit, specifically about installation of the valve included in the kit.
The valve has an arrow on it, apparently indicating flow direction. But there was nothing in the MercedesSource instructions addressing valve orientation. Does it matter which way the coolant flows through the valve?
I am thinking of buying at a 1980 300 cd turbo . The engine starts fine but it will not rev/drive until it warms up for 5 minutes. Is this something as simple as a thermostat stuck open or possibly a binding turbo. The odometer says it has 160K miles, the oil pressure is about half way between the 1 and 2 when warm.
Thanks,
Peter
Hello out there, I have an '83 300td wagon and I have lost braking,
I replaced the master, bled the lines, & replaced calipers. Could a bad booster or vacuum pump give the symptom of pedal-to-the-floor?
Everything I've read and know from past experience says no it should just be a "hard press". please help!!!
thank you
I have a 1984 300SD & it has developed a "groaning" sound when I turn right. I jacked it up & with the car running turned the wheel, no sound (most likely because it does not have the weight on it). I grabbed the tire I turned the tire hard manually & got a little noise from what I believe to be the "Guide Joint" on the top of the Steering knuckle. It looks to be in great shape. Any tips to solving or isolating the problem?
