Biodiesel additives needed? + warnings
I converted the fuel lines on my '82 300DT and plan to run B100 biodiesel consistently. I heard about the need for adding lubricity to low sulfer petrodiesel but does anyone know if too low of lubricity is a problem with biodiesel? The only fuel addative I have used so far is a product called "Killem" to clean out the fuel tank.

380 SL stalling
My '84 380 SL stalls when it has been run a while and I come to a stop. The car generally idles at 500 rpm when the car is in gear and the engine is good and warm. This seems low to me. I think I may have a bad idle speed control unit but am hesitant to go out and buy one until I am confident that is the source of the problem. The car runs very strong otherwise. Any tips or suggestions out there would be greatly appreciated.

200D A/C setup needed
I was wondering if someone who has a 200D or 220D Mercedes with A/C can send me photos of how the compressor mounts on the engine and how the belts run? I am looking to add A/C to my 1967 200D using a stock A/C compressor and parts from vintage air. The photos can be emailed to: oncken@earthlink.net Thanks for the help in advanced

300D turbo running hot
What is the normal running temp for my 83 300D? Right now it gets hot quickly and moves up above 90C and will approach the 120C point if I run the AC. I've changed thermostats and flush the radiator and put in new coolant along with a water wetter. Seems to run somewhat cooler but not what it should be. The electric fan used to come on but doesn't now. What is the most common thing I should look for if the fan doesn't come on? Thanks, Dan

190D fuel guage and temp. guage stopped working.
I had not driven my 190D in a couple of days and then the other evening when I went to town, I noticed that both the fuel guage and temp. guage had quit working. I just bought the car and drove it home a 1000 miles and everything worked great. I have not yet picked up a repair manual. Just wondering if someone could point me in the right direction to start troubleshooting this. Thanks.

removing front suspension spring on a 1985 300TD
One of the steps to remove a front suspension spring is to disconnect the sway bar. I'm very wary of doing this. Is it under tension like a torsion bar or will it just disconnect? If it is under tension, how can I reinstall it?

1990 W124 chassis 300 te wagon self leveling rear suspension
Hi- my 1990 300te wagon has the self leveling (hydropneumatic) rear suspension. The ride in the rear is very stiff/harsh- feels as if shocks are not functioning. I googled this and found that almost always the cause is bad air cell accumulators in the rear and that the shocks themselves seldom go bad. The air cell accumulators are only about $100 each.
