BENZ AID - COMMON QUESTIONS AND ANSWERS

Since I upgraded my glow plug relay to the type of relay that leaves the glow plugs on for a few minutes after start up, the alternator belts have been squeeling until the relay shuts off. I would like to put in a solonoid on the power supply to the relay with a momentary on button on the dash... But, in addition to that, I simply need to tighten the Alternator belts. It seems an easy thing to do on a car like this, which is so comfy to work on, but I can't seem to get the job done. It seems there should be a bolt, or a nut, to loosen behind somewhere, then turn the long, skinny hex shaped thing, and then tighten up the whatever. I can't find the bolt or nut, or whatever!

i have a 230te estste 1991 the problem is that i keep getting engine oil in the hydrolic suspension tank i know this as i have drained it off back down to empty after doing this within a week the oil light is back on on the dash and the suspension tank is full i cant see how it is happening would like to know how the oil can get into the tank .refrence it being lumpy it just feels like there is too much air in the tyres have set them to the correct pressure and that dosnt make any difference even tried a little less but no difference is that better info for you ps it rear hydrolic suspension

I have a 1986 sl. When I start quickly from a stop, I get a loud squeeling noise coming from underneath the car. If I start out slowly I don't hear it. I also get it when I accerlerate to pass someone. I thought it was a fanbelt problem, but it isn't. It's been going on for years and does not affect the performance of the car

So the other day I was out driving and started hearing a loud clicking noise whenever my '83 240D was in gear. I assumed it was the brakes since the rear brakes need to be done, but when I got out of the car and took a look I noticed that the rear right wheel was angled away from the body of the car. I jacked the right side up to get a better look at the suspension, but I know more about engines than I do suspensions and I really was just looking for something obvious that was broken.
