[MBZ] '85 300D on BAT

The engine shutoff solenoid is a wear item that always needs to be replaced - eventually - and can fail intermittently, as others have noted. On Mon, Nov 18, 2019 at 5:33 PM Michael Esh via Mercedes < mercedes@okiebenz.com> wrote: > Thanks Craig! > > Michael E. Esh > > > > On Nov 18, 2019, at 1:5

Listers, I pulled my 85 300D out of the garage today after washing it yesterday for the first time in quite a while and much to my chagrin I found the front carpet wet on the passenger side. It did not appear to be coolant as it had no obvious odor and the temperatures have been in the low 90s

I suppose to make it easier, removing the steering wheel is not a bad idea. It can help, but it's a lot of trouble. (It's required, of course, on a 107.)
