I have a 1979 300D with 300k+ miles. I had the intake and exhaust manifold off to install a new block heater. The intake ports were oil soaked, I know she's tired. I thought hey, I'll pull the head, do the valves and maybe throw some rings and bearings in while I'm in there... I stopped myself and thought I'd better see what this is going to cost. I can do the labor myself, so just need some parts. Well after putting together a parts list, I was looking at 2K plus machining if everything went well. SO HERE'S THE QUESTION, will I see more power in the old 300D after she has been overhauled?
i posted another forum but thinking on it if i might have a bad key switch as well.i have an 84 300sd when i turn the switch about half the time it wont crank it will go thru the glow plug cycle fine then just click sometimes or nothing at all but when i pop the hood and take the plastic cover off the wire harness on the passenger side and touch the two outside contacts together with a piece of wire it fires right up
I own W124 230TE but the sls is not working for the last 6 month or maybe more, i try sending it to the workshop but end paying more $$$ but still no success, end up the system getting worst, i check & found the actcuator & the adjusting valve broken & missing. Now it just on the coil spring, with 2 adult seating at the rear the whole back sink down, the problem here is very difficult to get the part localy (Singapore)& costly to import the part.
The fuse that controls the horns, ignition buzzer and backup lights on my 1984 300TDT Wagon always blows. Not immediately, but eventually. Cannot relate it to any action of mine. The backup lights were broken with loose connectors, rust and corrosion, so were replaced with new ones.
Should I check or disconnect the horns and see if that cures the problem? Any suggestion as to where to start?
Hello , I am writing to find out how much difference there is between a 1980 300td wagon vs a 1983 300d sedan when it comes to pick up. I intend to use traditional diesel and am looking for a daily driver in the ny 5 boro area much of which will be highway driving with short on ramps. I have leads on a beautiful 80 wagon but am concerned that its not a turbo and have heard they are sluggish, i guess i am looking for a definition of sluggish.Thanks in advance from a relative newbie-T
It is extremely difficult to turn the fan blower speed switch on my 1981 240D. If i pull off the plastic knob, I can turn the switch with a pair of pliers but still with great difficulty. Any thoughts on what could be binding and how to resolve the situatioin?
When you replace the transmission modulator valve does it pop straight out or do you have to unscrew? I don't want to cause any problems by removing wrong.
I'm at a loss with a brake problem on my 300d. I lost brakes a couple months ago and since there were no signs of broken lines or anything like that I assumed that it was the master cylinder. I replaced it without bleeding the brakes. The brakes were better still with quite a low pedal but the vehicle was stopworthy. So I finally got around to bleeding the brakes to no avail. Still a low pedal. Also, when you pump the brakes to get a hard pedal, it's almost like the braking force is exponentially decreased.

I am about to take my front driver side door apart to repair my window,
according to Kent's manual on 123 door repair...
The window motor works fine, the mechanism is just not pulling the window
down. the regulator comes down, because I can then open the window by
pushing it down, and then when I push the button to close the window, the
regulator pushes the window up fine. Do you have any pro tips for what part
I might need to remedy this situation. I have already purchased a regulator
