Hi all at Mersedessource and Happy Holidays to you. I just received the diesel purge you sent me just in time for Christmas and I am dying to try it. I only have one question. Kent's instructions are very explicit but being retired from the training and education field people sometimes interpret differently no matter how precise the instructions. That said, my question is this. It appears that I will be feeding and returning the cleaner from the same bottle.
My 1977 280E seems to have a miss in it when it's hot. It's got new gas, new plugs and plug wires. Has Electronic Ignition. Fires up pretty easily but idles fast until it's put into gear, emmits a lot of smelly smoke (white/grey). Engine seems to stumble more when it's accelerated. Car sat for a 2 years before I got it. Could this be something with the vacuum system? Is there something that controls the idle speed as engine warms up and the engine timing that might have a leak or rotted off?
I have a 1977 280E. Wanted to know the normal operating temperature is for this car. The gauge reads between 80 and 40 (presume it's 60 degrees celsius). Please let me know what this should be reading.
Thanks.

I am a new member to this website, recently purchased a 1984 300D, great condition, lots of miles though, around 290k. everything works great including sun roof. The only inoperable thing is car is cruise control, any advice, what I should start looking for. Thanks
The plate that holds the tail light bulb sockets has one empty hole which lines up with a red lens cover on the tail light lens. I want to add a brake light socket and bulb in that opening to increase brake visability, which is not the brightest on the older MB. But, I read somewhere that if you do not use the proper brakelight bulbs, it will mess up the cruise control, and if I add two bulbs, will it mess it up.
the car has sat for 3 months. when I took it for a ride today the tranny wouldnt shift out of 1st gear. It has always shifted fine untill now. the fluid was low so I topped it off with no change. were do I start ?
Hi all and happy holidays. My car runs great and is easy on the eyes too, but something has changed recently. When I left my climate control unit set on auto and the temperature wheel on heat (in the red) the blower would not switch on until the engine and coolant were warm, thus blowing warm air. Presently for some reason the blower fan comes on shortly (10 seconds) after start-up and consequently blows cold air until the engine and coolant warm. CCU? Water temperature sender? If so which one? Any takers on this one.

I have an '83 300SD and when starting cold, it takes some time (5-10 seconds) to make oil pressure. I recently changed oil weight as winter is upon us. I'm using 5w40 now, and at a warm idle it makes just a little over 2 bars. I assume the gauge is measuring bars. When I was using 15w40 it made slightly under 3 bars when warm. The gauge is completely pegged when this engine has any throttle. According to the Mercedes manual this weight oil is appropriate for the temperature range in my area. It is ranging from about -5 at night to high 20's in the day.
