116 Heater blower fan replacement
Hi I have a 116 - 1974 280S in which the heater blower fan stopped working quite some time ago. It blew out a lot of smoke one day and hasn't worked since. I heard that removing the fan is a MAJOR job that involves removing both front seats, dashboard etc.

300D Starter Shut down
Hi I have a 1982 300 turbo diesel and after the engine has run for a while if I shut off the car then try to restart nothing happens. It usually starts fine in the morning and when cold. Is it ignition related or is it a starter problem?

103 Engine Quit Fix Guide
I am currently writing a diagnostic guide on how to troubleshoot and repair all the reasons why the 103 engine can quit on you. This 6 cylinder single cam gas engine was installed in the 190E 2.6, 300E, 300TE and 300CE. This guide will cover issues such as not starting at all, quitting cold, starting and then quitting, quitting slowly and just plain quitting whenever it feels like.

Drowned my 300td Help!
Hi:
I Live in NE New York & we got hit with flash flooding last Thur. To make a long story short, I drove into a "puddle" that was halfway up my door panel when the car stopped. It didn't sit long as I got pushed out, but... The air filter was soaking wet & water poured out of the turbo when I took the "U" thing off. The starter was fried & now "finally" replaced after many frustrating hours to get 2 bolts out. Anyway, I still can't get it started. Anybody have any ideas of the sequence of diagnosis/repair I should follow that would be applicable to my unsuccessful attempt at turning my wagon into a submarine? Thanks & Happy Thanksgiving!
