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?
