I recently purchased a 1980 G wagon with a 5-cyl. turbo diesel engine. But this car is missing the oil pressure gauge; it is apparently a conversion from gas to diesel engine, not done very professionally.
I purchased the car with a broken engine and installed a new one already, but want to add an oil-pressure gauge.
Any suggestion where to find one that might fit?
I recently had my shop replace the ignition switch. Now the heater does not go off after the key is removed. I can't recall if this was the how it worked before, but it doesn't seem right. Before I return to the shop, I'd like to confirm this. Also, what can they possibly have done to make this happen? My understanding is that the wiring just plugs into the back of the switch. There doesn't seem much room for error.
Hi,
I'm installing the glow plug override kit on my 85 300dt. Wondering a good source of keyed power for the switch is? I'm almost thinking it'd just be easier to use a direct battery lead to avoid hacking away my harnesses, but if you know of an easy one I'd sure use it!
Thanks
Roger
How does the little air vent, mounted top center dash, sample the interior cabin air temperature? What does the tube connect to? Does it draw air in by the means of pump or just passively? My heat just doesn't want to stay constant and I have replaced monovalve, thermostat, etc. Thanks for anything anyone has to offer.
1983 300sd trans hard shift from 1st to 2nd then it skip shifts into 3rd and shifts into 4th too early.... slow loss of vacuum when checking underhood line going to ignition switch... also air not blowing from center vents, and sometimes it takes a while til heater blows hot even if it is warmed up..... i replaced green dashpot and have a new trans modulater valve but want to make sure its all correct before i install the modulator because it looks like its been replaced recently (green) thanx in advanced! also do u hacea vacuum diagram for the doorlocks/vacuum pump in trunk....
1987 300td electric tilting sunroof seems like something broken on one side of track and won't close from the tilted up position. Motor seems to be running ok. I saw the manual for the earlier non tilting models would that be helpful, or are they completely different? Thanks.
Is there any way to reverse or pull out the rear impacted bumper? It has been pushed in about an inch more on one side than the other.
What would be the best way to repaint Bundt Rims? What to use to remove existing stained and flakey paint, and what to use to repaint? Good Quality spray can of paint?
Both directional lights and Tach not functioning. Checked and replaced fuse but still no action. Everything else on the same relay is working fine.
