I installed the Windshield Washer Squirter kit recently. The installation went well, once I figure out how to remove the old squirter nozzles. I now have the situation where the nozzles spray most of the washer fluid over the roof of the car. The driver's side nozzle, in particular, misses most of the left half of the windshield. Is there a way to adjust the spray pattern on these new nozzles?
I have a Mercedessource inspired 2 tank WVO conversion set up in my 1986 300SDL. I have put on 14,000 miles since the conversion about a year and a few months ago. Everything is running fine.
What is the sign that I will see when my Monarch injectors need to be replaced? They have been on for all 14,000 miles. I don't intend to pull them off for the "fun" of it, because quite frankly it is a pain on the 300sdl's (getting to number 3 and 4 requires removal of the intake manifold.) So I want to only do it if needed.
Thanks for you advice.

I just bought a 300te 1989 and love it. only problem i've had so far is check engine (changed the o2 sensor and hasn't come back on "fingers crossed" and transmission shifts a bit jerky. sometimes it smooth sometimes it a little harsher. when I'm at freeway speed and floor it and it drops down a gear I really get a good kick. also I've tried putting in neutral going around 50. when I put it back in drive I get a good bump. any ideas out there.
Does anyone have a diagram or a link to a diagram for the 1984 190d 2.2?
I have to push the "Stop engine" lever under the hood to shut the engine off. I have owned the car for 10 years without this happening. It has now occurred twice today. Should I be looking for a mechanical malfunction or an electrical connection?
Best Regards,
Eric
Looking for opinions on the symptoms of this engine:
Oil consumption: 4 qt 900 miles
Lots of oil in air filter assembly
Oil leaking out of oil fill cap
Oil leaking out of manifold side valve cover bolts
Oil Pressure 7 lbs at full temp idle
Oil pressure 65 lbs at speed (60mph) warm
One con-rod knocking
At idle rod knock not real noticeable
Mileage unverifiable, but supposed to be around 90k
Whaddya think?
Any other info you might want to know - let me know
Thanks!
I Just Broke my Hood release cable. After I open the hood, can I cut the cable about three feet from the hood end, and reroute the shortened hood latch end over the left headlight? There I could make a loop in the end and kinda hide it on top of the light? I think I can remove the outer sheath and just use the wire to unlock the hood. Please comment on the feasability/drawbacks ..... thanks
Ken,
Thanks for the products and advice thus-far.
My 1979 Mercedes 300SD Turbo Diesel is running great (knock on wood!), and always gets a thumbs up.
Question for you and anyone in the forum with experience with my model and after-market turbos.
Would an after-market turbo work with my vehicle?
Yes? No? Why/why not? What to look for/stay away from? Other advice?
Cheers from the Bluegrass State,
Christian
Hey Kent when installing injectors back into my 86 300SDL do you recommend a little anti seaze comound on the threads? They came out pretty hard and had a little corrosion on them.
Kent i removed all six injectors from my "86" sdl to check and clean. 1,2,3,and 4 look okay. They have a little carbon and they are still shiney on the bottom.5 and 6 also have carbon but a blueish hew where the others are shiney. Whats up with that? Looks like they got hot Why?
