1982 300D Engine Knocking After Injector Cleaning
Hi Everyone,
I just finished fixing one problem only to get myself into another :-). I tried to install some of the new monark nozzles from mercedessource. I tried to be very careful and clean when reassembling the injectors after replacing the nozzles and thoroughly lapped all the mating surfaces with fine sand paper as described in the guide.
One thing I was not able to figure out is how to remove the old crush washers from the engine to replace them with new ones. Because of this I left them there. Any tips on how to remove these would be much appreciated as they seem pretty stuck in there and there were no hints in the manual I received.

1983 300SD won't keep running
OK.I had an injector return line leaking,replaced it...drove around the neighborhood for few minutes and then went back to the house thinking everything is OK but then when I put it in reverse it cut off.Did the same thing twice more...though there was some more air in the system...bled the injectors and primed the hand pump...btw I just instaled the new upgrade pump...since U don't have to screw it does it have to be all the way down?I pumped until it got tight but it's not all the way down...now the car won't even go forward...it crankes up fine (running a little rough) but when I put it

123 Mercedes 300D Turbo Oil Return Gasket Replacement
Help! So I am in the middle of changing the gasket for the oil return pipe that goes from the turbo to the top of the oil pan and I thought once I started I would figure out a way to get the whole pipe out, but I am about 1/8th of an inch of clearance from being able to get the top half of the pipe off. Is there a secret to this? I searched the internet and the only tip I could find is to remove a heat shield that would give a little more clearance but there must be some further tip as I contemplated that but it didn't look like it would help.

1982 240D too much inside tire wear ??
Hi,
I have replaced everything steering and suspension wise except the steering box(which does have some play) and had the car fully checked over and aligned. I am getting very server tire wear on the two front tires on the inside. The tires don't even have 5000 miles on them and have already been rotated once. I brought this back to the shop and they said oh these old mercedes just have the camber set which tilts the tire and there is nothing I can really do about it.

83 300SD Window off track
Today I shut the door on my 300SD with the window down for the first time, and wouldn't you know it, now it gets stuck about half way up. I pulled the door assembly off but can not figure out how to get the window back in the track, it is the leading edge (towards the front of the car) that has jumped the track. Does anyone have some advice, or a direction I can look to get my window back where it belongs? Thank you in advance for your attention to my problem.

83 300D hood brace rattle
i have a 1983 Mercedes 300td. my problem lies between hood and the bracket under hood. they have come apart. it is part of the hood its self. it is stamped sheet metal part that is suppose to be solidly attached. it looks like it is suppost to be a stiffening bracket what would be a good adhesive to get it to be glued solidly so it stops rattling and is firmly attached?
