Re: [MBZ] Today's Fun

So I ended up replacing the fuel filter, which was due, along with an air filter element, which was also due. Car is now good for many thousands of miles more. Gotta love these W210s, the ultimate “gas and go” cars. -D > On Oct 3, 2020, at 10:57 AM, Dan Penoff via Mercedes > wrote: > > Just

Re: [MBZ] Today's Fun

Yeah, it’s a bit of a pig on W210s. You have to unbolt the AC compressor to get the driver’s side mount out, and the passenger side isn’t much easier. Glad I didn’t need to do it. Put my belly pan on, too Been sitting in the garage for I don’t know how long, I keep meaning to put it on but neve

[MBZ] Today's fun: 124 300D

The 300D had a fit on Mon. where it would not start. no click, nothing, but plenty of battery. It also did not click with the auxiliary starter button. After it cooled for 2 hours, it magically started. The starters on these have a tendency to just quit without warning, unlike older cars.

As the weather forecast is saying it’s going to be hotter than heck this weekend, I figured I would go ahead and take a swing at replacing the air meter boot and injectors on the 300SEL when I got home today. I started around 5:00 and finished around 8:00. It wasn’t a difficult job, just a lot

Those 17mm bolts can be a tight reach, not a lot of room to swing a wrench and the top bolt is hard to see at all. I use a 3/8 drive ratchet and a short length of pipe to get more torque. Once you've got them loose, you may have room to get a universal joint into the mix so you can get a wider sw
