window regulator

by using Kents 126 door repair book,I changed out my window regulator and motor in 30 minutes.its best to know how,they ain't made like Chevy's. One more thing,Mercedes Source has got Diesel Giant,and Performance Parts 4 Benz beat,with shipping times. So if you need it fast and Kent's got it,you know what to do.

Fuel Filter Replacemnent and other Difficulties- Be Prepared!

When my '82 300DT lost power on the freeway I managed to nurse it to my destination and got out my fuel spare filters. I installed a new prefilter and main filter, bypassed the FM10 water separator, pumped on the hand pump, and then found that the lack of a 17mm end wrench made bleeding the lines at the injectors real difficult as all I had was an adjustable wrench. Too bulky for that job. Then I screwed up by not reading Kent's instructions carefully and ran my battery down before the fuel lines were bled enough to get the engine going.

1984 300d Ignition switch Woes and advice

I just had a problem with my ignition switch and want to give some helpful advice to others so you won't have similar grief.My 300d has 223,000 miles on it and several times (not very often) the key would not turn in ignition,but I was always able to make it work by jiggling the steering wheel..until last time!No amount of jiggling ,light tapping,heavy tapping,or even the locksmith,could get it to move.

Drowned my 300td Help!

Hi: I Live in NE New York & we got hit with flash flooding last Thur. To make a long story short, I drove into a "puddle" that was halfway up my door panel when the car stopped. It didn't sit long as I got pushed out, but... The air filter was soaking wet & water poured out of the turbo when I took the "U" thing off. The starter was fried & now "finally" replaced after many frustrating hours to get 2 bolts out. Anyway, I still can't get it started. Anybody have any ideas of the sequence of diagnosis/repair I should follow that would be applicable to my unsuccessful attempt at turning my wagon into a submarine? Thanks & Happy Thanksgiving!
