I have an 85 300 CD with an 83 engine, my problem is that after about 25 miles the engine starts slowing down and then stalls like it runs out of fuel. let it sit 10 minutes or so and it will start again and run fine for another 25 miles and do the same thing again. will run all day at an idle it only does it at highway speeds. Anyone know what is causing this?
thanks for the help
I have a 79' 240D and have been doing the maintenance on the sun roof as per the Mercedessource kit. I have found that the air dam has a bit of rust on it and I wanted to remove it and clean/treat it with the anti-rust paint but I am unsure as to the best way to remove this. I am afraid of breaking it if I force it. Does anyone have any sequence of steps used to properly remove the air dam??? Thanks.

Kent,
What is the fluid type for the rear suspension of a 79 300TD wagon?
Thanks,

I have a 1977 240D. My wife was driving and ran it out of fuel. I have added fuel but, it won't start. Any tips on how to get it running again?
I bought a 1978 300CD with 250K miles about two months ago. So many problems and I've never worked on a diesel but my income is too modest to afford a mechanic. I'm just a humble computer guy. Okay, enough blathering. Recently, the power assist on the brakes gave out and, simultaneously, the car wouldn't shut off when I removed the ignition key. I have been told that I need to rebuild the vacuum pump. After a week of manual braking (that thing's a beast to stop) and manually choking the engine when I get to my destination it's developed a new problem that is far more devious.
im selling my roll top console on ebay and just wanted to tell you guys about it to get some exposure, as its not something that many people search for....i know its a sin to post links to other places, so just go there and search 126 console zebrano ...thanks guys, hopefully this post will last a few days
I have a newly purchased 300cd non turbo that has a significant exhaust leak from the top of the manifold. Do these run gaskets on the exhaust side? I could not find them listed online. Are these prone to cracking and warping, or should a gasket do the job? Should I bother trying to retorque everything on my badly leaking gasket?
I just bought an 84 300TD (Yes, the wagon) and I really like it. One thing that I don't like is that the fuel guage is not working. It jumps all over at times, and at other times it will stay all the way empty (after I just filled it up) or all of the way full. Not sure if this is related, but when I fill it up, I have to put fuel in very very slowly (~.5 gal per minute) otherwise the filler fills with foam and shuts the station pump off.
Hi I ordered and received new nozzles today and it was a easy pleasant job replacing them. The old nozzles were in bad shape and very clogged up with black soot/mess. I thoroughly cleaned the injectors with break cleaner and installed the new Nozzles.
Is it possible for an 84 300TD wagon to run on the transmission from a 1980 300SD? If only some of the parts (within the tranny) are interchangeable, which ones?
