[MBZ] 240d Front Brakes

"more pad" than required? Car on jackstands on a Labor Day weekend. Any suggestions? I'm stuck until Auto Zone re-opens. Did Mercedes "mix and match" parts? FRED DE VRIES

Re: [MBZ] Mercedes Digest, Vol 3, Issue 235

ning about these cars. The Mobil 1 oil w/sealer sounds like a good place to start. Oil change, diesel purge, filters, Mobil 1. Any suggestions on flushing sludge out of a 1974 240D 100K+ miles? Really, not a gun afficianado, but you guys are better than TV anyway! Thanks! FRED DE VRIES

at and you could do it on water. So. Rather than giving all the MB Tech's another hearty laugh this week, can somebody walk me through what I need to do to change the oil in my '74 diesel? Like, how many filters, where and how to change and what's a "diesel purge"? Thanks so much! FRED DE VRIES

Re: [MBZ] Oil/Diesel Mixtures
