Driver's window works fine except that when reaching the closed position the motor keeps going until you let off the switch. Do I need a new window regulator or some other part? I've already purchased the 201 Door Maintenance and Repair guide, but don't see mention of this issue. Thanks for any assistance you can provide...
I R&R'd a new sunroof (Tilting)Weatherstrip.
Pretty much straight forward.......except
1: Found 2 rivets loose on back hold down bracket.
short of removing panels(trying to avoid)
any tricks to fixing? I tried a pair of needle nose vice grips, no go
2:The new strip prevents the roof from closing like the old one!
Should I "grease" it with something? If so what?
Thanks
It all started after I had run the car up a mountain with curvy roads. I pushed the car a bit (not to hard)after that it started idling rough. Thought it might be injectors leaking. I changed and set injectors. It ran better. Now it has a rough idle and a strong vibration at around 1500 rpm feels like it vibrates the whole car. Also it seems to be have more valve noise when idling, maybe nailing? adjusted valves 2 times.
removed functioning instrument cluster in 85 300SD to replace ignition,
when instrument cluster was replaced the temperature gauge doesn't register accurate - it jumps immediately to maximum heat. Also suspicious that fuel
gauge is registering incorrectly. Any suggestions?
I am having trouble with cold running and now with running period. Starts fine and stumbles until warm. Changed ovp with new one-better but not much, changed O2 sensor with NGK model-initially better but now appears lean when running above 1500rpm-stumbling. O2 appears to be working. Don't have duty function meter. Stumped. Coding but do not have code reader. Going to get one. Ecu temp sensor resistance supposed to be 250 hot to 2000 cold but that does not jive with charts I have seen. 260 to 300 hot. Very inconsistent cold.
I replaced the engine shut off vacuum actuator, the car drove for 15 minutes and stalled. I am not getting fuel to the injectors. The question is can the actuator gaskets leak air into the pump and air lock it?
n/a1991 300D.
Starts great. After 30 sec idles rough. Believe the fuel injector is being signalled that the engine is above 60 C when it is not . Where is this temp sensor located.
1982 300TD
replaced brushes on the blower motor, bench tested worked fine. Installed in car, checked fuse ok, but no blower running. checked voltage at the connection no voltage. My question is were to go next. Also when in the air conditioning mode compressor is running. PLEASE HELP.
Hello Kent,
First,I want to say thanks to Mercedes source for the ability to learn everything about these great cars and giving me the know-how to do all my own work. Truly priceless.
hopefully this isn't a double post.
I have apparently 184k miles on a recently bought 300D. It pours out bluish smoke at start up, maybe some whithish mixed in but it's hard to tell.
It bellows out smoke on freeway at full throttle but not really any noticable smoke at constant speed. When i get off the freeway after ~30 miles and idle for a very short time (several seconds) it leaves a smoke trail as seen in rearview mirror and headlights.
