My 1979 300SD Turbo has a rebuild transmission, a new kick down switch and still will not downshift. Any suggestions??? Fusebox has been checked, and linkage adjusted.
What is the approximate cost for a valve adjustment on the above model car??
Hello,
I just did a complete brake job on my 1979 300SD. Replaced all the rotors, calipers, and brake pads, as well as the master cylinder.
It all went fine, except now when I turn, there is a grinding noise that comes from the front wheels, it's like the brakes are grinding, but it only happens when I'm not driving straight.
Any Suggestions?
Thanks,
Jeff
the left hand bank hydraulic lifters are not working.
this happened while the engine was ticking over at 800rpm.
the revs dropped off gradually until the engine syopped.
all the lifters do not rise even though the oil pressure while cranking the engine is good.
i am using the "left hand" term as stated in the manual,it is actually the right hand bank when view from the front of the vehicle.
any ideas?
Hello,
I've got a 1979 300SD which has an electrical problem. The fuse that runs the brake lights, turn signals, and fuel gauge keeps blowing. I looked in the trunk at the brake lights and unhooked a trailer brake light harness, because I thought that might be it...but it was not.
Any suggestions?
thanks,
Jeff
I recently replaced my air cleaner bracket which required disconnecting and reconnecting the oil line from the top of the turbo. After reassembling everything, the turbocharger leaked oil. There's a paper gasket where the oil line meets the turbo, and I didn't know I'd have to replace it if I ever disconnect the oil line. I got a new one from a local M-B dealer, partnumber A 603 187 05 80, but it's the wrong size. I tried to use the gasket anyway by making cuts in the gasket, but I doubt it is sealed well or will last very long.
