1985 300T DT Valve cover cables purpose?
Exactly What does that cable mounted on the valve cover throttle assembly that goes to the transmission do? I guess it replaces the vacuum control in pre 1985 models, but what exactly does it do?
Thanks... G

overheating on my 1980 300 sd
I have replaced the thermostat,aux water pump, water pump, all hoses,had the radiator rodded out by a radiator repair shop, blower motor replaced and I am still just short of 100 degrees on the cars gauge backed up by an infrared gun. I have checked and my major problem was the radiator as the bottom was cold and the top was running hot. After all this I now have hot all over readings. The thermostat was an 80 degree one and was put in the right way. I am getting heat thru the a/c so I assume there are no bubbles in the system. The top of the radiator reads 100 degrees with thr IR gun.

'85 300SD w/ trap Vacuum trouble
Kent, I have purchased the vacuum diagnostic manual but I am a bit confused because my model of car is not described in the manual. I am unclear as to which colored vacuum lines are what and the diagram listed in the member's section isn't high enough resolution for me to be able to clearly make out what is what. Help?

84 380SL valve train service kit
n/a After installing the new oil tube fittings, I started to remove the cam gear so that I could change the chain guide. After I had the gear about half way off, the chain was so tight that I stopped, fearing that I would not be able to reinstall it. Is there a trick to loosen the chain. I have been going by Kent's manual.

Changing diesel pump 1984
Has anyone got a easy way to change injector pump on 1984 300SD. The rack sensor is just above the back bolt and makes putting the nut bavk on interesting. The gasket started leaking because the support at the back of the pump was not bolted to engine.

78 300SD Turbo Connector Hose
Is there a particular type of hose that must be used for the Turbo Connector Hose?
My turbo had a braided hose, similar to that of the fuel line return hoses but larger, that was leaking pretty badly at both ends. I removed it and took it into my local parts store and the guy at the counter said that I needed that particular style hose. He cut me a length of 3/8" fuel hose to hold me over until I could get my hands on some.
