blow by, 1980 300d wagon
There is oil clogging the air filter. There is a product called Envalve, that fits on the valve cover to remedy this problem. Do you know of this product? I understand that the rings are worn creating this problem, is this engine on its way out or is there something else I can do to extend it's life? Thanks

1986 300 SDL Turbo Diesel /Purge before new injector install?
I've become the proud owner of an 1986 300sdl turbo!
and have begun doing my part to advance Kent's great place here.
The motor has 151000 miles and appears in good shape(little or no smoke/pickup/etc)
I've ordered new injectors in my excitement and other stuff before realizing that Purging is a good preventative maintence.(Came from a gas home)
will purging before installing the new injectors be of benefit?
Thanks in advance!
And so begins a new romance.....

617 Injector return line replacement
Greetings, all.
I've got all the parts I need to replace the fuel injector return lines on my 617 engine, but I'm not sure what tools I should have and what procedures I need to follow. Most that I've read says I only need a pair of needle nose pliers, but this seems too simple to me. Is it really just a matter of pulling the old guys out and pushing the new ones in?
Thanks!

Blower Motor, 1970, 250CE
Heater blower has failed. Replaced fuse which promptly blew. Will shortly pull blower. What should I look for and are
brushes still available for this unit. Niemoller in Germany can't find bushes and new blower 330.00+.
Last year I purchased shift boot form Mercedessource and accidentally misplaced it, it was a perfect replacement for
4 speed manual transmission in vehicle. I suspect I will be unable to locate a replacement but thought I might nevertheless inquire.
You provide a tremendous service and have a terrific website.
Thank you Mr Bergsma

'87 SDL transmission not shifting properly
My '87 300SDL shifts very hard between 1st and 2nd. Since replacing the vacuum modulator, the rest of the gears are fine. However, a few days ago after the car sits for a few hours it does not like to shift out of 2nd. After driving at a maximum of ~45 MPH, if I come to a stop and start over it upshifts to 3rd and 4th fairly smooth. Is there an easy fix, or am I looking at rebuilding the transmission?
