W110 W111 W112 Sedan, BENZ AID - COMMON QUESTIONS AND ANSWERS

Hi there...I recently purchased a 1988 Mercedes 300 CE with 126,000 miles on it.....the car runs beautifully ..idles well...no miss fires...went out the other morning...it started fine...stopped the car to run an errand...came back...the car would try to turn over but not fire...almost like it was out of petrol..I thought perhaps the petrol gage was reading wrong..I added some petrol and it started fine...ran like it always does...changed the fluids and filters...car ran fine until it was time to back it out of the garage...it did the same thing....like it was out of gas...I understand the fue

I have a 1981 300D. A few weeks ago the charge indicator light came on, so I replaced the voltage regulator (thanks for the plastic tie), and the light went off. Two weeks later I was driving with the windows down, and heard an unfamiliar metallic noise coming from the engine. The sound is coming from the front - near the alternator and water pump area. Per your advice I poured water over the belts and...the noise stopped. I sighed in relief, until I noticed that the belt had slipped on the alternator, which had stopped spinning.

So I've got the FM10 Water Separator filter in place, and I'm wondering if it's okay that my biodiesel is actually filling the separator bowl and is visible? I imagined that only water would drain off into it (when present) but perhaps this is incorrect? thanks, tbird

I bought an FM10 water separator filter for my 1982 300SD, and in the instructions it suggests that I mount it to the left front "core support" bracket. After surveying for a spell, I was unable to locate this bracket in the engine compartment. Can anyone point me, via other reference points, to this bracket? Thanks in advance, tbird
