1984 300D Turbo Interior Noise

I have a noise that sounds like an air leak in my interior/dash board. The noise is a squeeky loud air noise and happens when the car is moving more than 60 MPH, however if I let off the fuel pedal the noise will stop. It appears to be directly related to throttle position as the noise will get louder as I accelerate and will quiet down on deceleration and will dissapear altogether when just cruising below 60 MPH. Any idea what this is and how I can trouble shoot. Any help would be very much appreciated.

1984 300D rear dash buckling

Hi all at Mercedessource and site users. I am in the process of elimating the leaks in my front and rear windshields. The leaks in the rear not only make my trunk smell musty but I think they may be the reason my rear dash has buckled on the side of the dash where the first aid kit sits. (I have nothing heavy in the first aid kit.) My question is; how does that rear dash come out? And if any one else has had this problem, what course of action did you take? Are there new dashes, or covers available like the front?

84 300D a/c vents not working

My 1984 300 turbo d (new to me) blows cold air out of the wind shield defrost. Nothing out of the center vents and yes the're turned on. Is this a vacuum issue or a servo issue? In either case where do I look for vauum leak? I had the under the dash panel off and there are 2 (that I can see) pretty pink plastic things. Would those be the servos?
Any advise would be helpful
Thanks

89 560sl light indicator on after brake pedal pressed

The dashboard light indicator comes on after pressing the brake pedal the first time after starting up. I've checked bulbs and all work but am not sure if they are the correct p/n. All have nickel/silver bases which I understand they should be as I was told the copper/gold bases run hot and tend to fool the light module into turning on the indicator. I just recently got this vehicle and it appears the previous owner had a problem with the 3rd brake light as it has been resoldered and has a broken holder. It functions but I am not sure it has the correct bulb installed.

'83 300SD Missing switch above domelight?

I've been working on getting my '83 300SD back to fighting fit and I'm beginning to move on to cosmetic issues now. One thing that has been driving me nuts is a hole in the headliner, not a cigarette burn, but one that was made into it. It's about an inch square and has has molded, rounded edges. It's about an inch above or aft of the domelight. My SD has a sunroof, but the switch for that is in the cluster above the climate controls. Can anyone tell me what this hole is for?

1987 300SDL Power Seats not moving back and forth

When I operate the seat switches on the doors(driver's and passenger's), only the seat backs will fold forward or backwards. The seat bottoms will not move forward or backwards, but the seat bottoms will move up and down. My 5foot tall wife cannot drive our Mercedes since it is set to my 6 foot height! Benz-aid help needed! Thank you.

1982 300d Window relay?

I am troubleshooting an intermitent power window issue. Replaced the window switch on the driver's side and seemed to solve the issue. Later all four windows did not work. Tested fuses in fuse box (OK), checked contacts at both driver and passenger switches. Is there a FUSE RELAY or other item I should check before tracing the entire wiring system? I am assuming that such a relay exists...
Many thanks. --- Chris Konik
