Auxiliary electric water pump needed?
I'm going to order and install the Climate Control Servo bypass kit for my 1980 300SD. The original servo is no longer working, neither is the auxiliary pump, and I'm tired of no heat control. Right now it's all heat all the time. The auxiliary pump has been broken for a lot longer than the servo, and I've been able to get adequate heat from the climate system. My question is, do I really need the auxiliary pump? I know it's recommended, but aux pump only really works during idle. Why can't I just put a U shaped pipe there in place of the auxiliary pump?

grease for a window regulator
This is about window regulators, specifically on my 1980 300SD (W116). The drivers side window regulator is broken, and MercedesSource has a new replacement for it, but no instructions available with the new part.
After examining the broken regulator, I believe that a lack of grease (or lubricant) on the regulator slides contributed to the failure. Further, my other windows are moving slow or binding up, and I suspect that lack of lube is responsible for that slowness as well.
Trouble is, I don't know what grease to use on the regulator mechanism. Grease isn't just grease. It's formulated to work at a certain temperature, under specific conditions, and I'd bet the grease on a window regulator is altogether different than wheel bearing grease, for instance.

1980 300SD, Piston Pin knock
Kent: If the knock or taping noise is in fact a piston pin, what is likely to happen if I keep driving the car. I just returned from a 360 mile trip and the noise has not changed.

From a stop light as engine speed reachs 2000 RPM a taping or knocking can be heard. The sound remains thru 2400 RPM at which time it either quits or I cannot here it for road noise.
