1990 W124 chassis 300 te wagon self leveling rear suspension

Hi- my 1990 300te wagon has the self leveling (hydropneumatic) rear suspension. The ride in the rear is very stiff/harsh- feels as if shocks are not functioning. I googled this and found that almost always the cause is bad air cell accumulators in the rear and that the shocks themselves seldom go bad. The air cell accumulators are only about $100 each.

4-matic question

recently purchased a 91 300te 4-matic, and need info on status of 4-matic operation. at start up, lights for 4-matic do not come on, nor do they when car is operating. other dash check lights do come on, though not all. the manual "4-matic funktion" switch in the engine compartment is on the "1" position, so i assume it is engaged. How do i know if it is working? how do i know if the dash light for the 4-matic function is burned out, or non-operational?

A/C Comes on and off periodically

I have an 81 240D and when I turn on the A/C the compressor will kick in and it will blow really cold for a while only when the the analog dial is in the max-a/c position. However periodically it will kick on and off with no real reason behind it. I don't think it's the switch b/c moving it up and down does not fix the problem. It seems as though some part of the system decides its had enough and stops for a while. Anyone have a problem like this? Thanks.

Water in 73 450SE

Hi All: I have some water accumulating in two places, I cannot find the source of either. In the trunk, behind the driver side wheel well. The gaskets on doors and trunk are all new. There is a small seam in the rear window gasket. Also, there is water draining from the car, under the driver side front door. I cannot see anywhere that this could be coming from. Thanks in advance for any help. Jon P.

89 300SE starting issues

I have 1989 300se that was running quite fine until recently. I had just gotten off the freeway and came to a stoplight. when I turned the corner and accelerated the car suddenly ceased to speed up and sputtered like it was runnin out of gas. Well with over half a tank of gas I knew it was not the problem. The car died at the next lite and would not restart. Tow truck driver suggested fuel pump. Well I replaced pump, filter , and the thign next to that(accumulator?) Now, car cranks but it seems like I am not getting spark at the plug nor fuel at the injector .
