I will be ordering your kit to repair my sagging drivers seat shortly but want to know if the drivers and passengers seat bottoms are interchangeable. In addition to sagging , the driver's seat has some issues with the MB Tex while my passenger seat is virtually new.
Easy question. Is there anything that can be done to clean/maintain an existing center dash temp sensor and tube? Thanks for any assistance,

This is the product on your site (Motor Oil Saver). I bought two cans for our high mileage cars. Here is my question. Do I need a different additive for use with synthetic oils?
Sometimes when I turn the key nothing happens for asecond or until I wiggle the key a little. Most recently the turn of the did nothing except turn on dash ligts and accesories. After waiting 15 min or so it turned over instantly. Is my tumbler the likely cause or should I be looking elsewhere?
Oil consumption has appeared as an issue following the Christmas holidays. During this 2 week period, I drove very little. Following the holidays, I found oil consumption to be high. Initially 1.5 qts in the first 150 miles! Next oil top-off showed consumption down to 1.0 qt in same distance. Currrently, oil consumption has recovered to the historic 1 qt. per 1500 miles. Rear of car has oil mist grunge so I suspect it was going out tailpipe. No new external oil leaks. I suspect valve seals or a turbo seal though turbo boost has remained unchanged (max P and boost response). Comments?
Dear Sir or Madam,
Is there a reliable hand held code reader for my 1993 300TE Wagon, that you would recommend/sell. My local shop charges $75 just to read the codes. I am also looking for a good shop manual for my wagon. This is my first Mercedes, and I am very impressed by the ride, but there is no way I can afford the upkeep without doing the work myself. In less than a month I have spent $750 in getting the air mass flow sensor changed ($590 for the part that was supposedly OEM, and that is why it cost so much, was actually a Bosch component) and $450 for a new vacuum shift delay relay. $150 of that $1200 total was for the diagnostic read.
I have a 1982 300TDT. My fuse for circuit 1 keeps blowing. I have the correct color fuse installed as per the fuse box specification.
Over a year and a half ago this started happening. Up until now I could just replace the fuse and it would be fine for several months, so I just let it go.
Now, however, it blows immediately as soon as ignition switch or lights are turned on.
When this blows I lose my dash lights, right rear taillight and right marker light. It basically means I can't safely drive it at night until I get the problem taken care of. The turn signals still work, by the way, if that somehow helps to diagnose the problem.

I am rebuilding the front end on this car and need torque specifications to properly replace the nuts and bolts in the front end. I am installing new shocks upper a-arms, sway bar bushings etc. If you have the specs available please give me a call at 310-291-2035. My car is in the shop right now and the technician asked me if I had any of the specs.
Short notice I know and I appreciate any help you can offer.
Thanks,
Michael
Hi all. Hope the New year is being good to everybody. I work this site for all I can and have read every question that pertains to my particular car and have gained so much knowledge. I am grateful to Mercedessource for providing this great data base. That said my question is, that if I set my CC at about 62 mph and around 3000 rpm it works fairly consistant. I say "fairly consistant" as eventually it gets a little jerky. If I don't set it right around those values it runs even more jerky. It surges and then backs off again and again as it tries to compensate for rises and dips in the highway. I have read about the amplifier under the dash and loose ball sockets in the linkages. Has anyone had similar symptons and addressed this specific quirk and what was your experience and outcome.
I purchased a 1985 300d 617.952 motor. I would like to transplant into a 1981 300sd. Will it work? If it will work what do I need to know? Any tips and tricks? Any parts need to come off the old motor? Thanks in advanced for all your help!
