Thanks Jim, I didn't have that tool so I used yours and it worked. There are no detent holes in the new radio so I removed the clips. Harry I cannot get both in without trying what I believe would be excessive force. Then something's wrong. But you know that already. I've tried it with e

[MBZ] The wonderful 300 SDL

The 300 SDL is the best driving car I've owned and beats all the others in fuel economy. I've owned two 86 SDLs, an 85 TD, 85 300D Euro and an 81 240D manual Trans. The TD was second best for me, the wife liked the 240D. I believe the 86 SDL (non-CA) is the one that has less chance of blown he

Re: [MBZ] Fuel delivery valve job

Take the intake to your local engine machine shop and let them clean it. It seems that every drop of splatter will stain forever, its nasty stuff. BTDT Thanks Harry *Now for my next question:* Has anyone found a good way to clean the intake plenum? . Thx! Larry __

Re: [MBZ] Aux coolant pump teardown pictures.

Walt, thanks for the information. This is keeper stuff. Harry Just wanted to let you guys know I'll be making a small run of replacement impellers for the aux pumps in a week or two. Got a cad model done up right now, going to push out to the cam program later today. The electric motor came

Re: [MBZ] Cd question 95 E320

The upgrade I have in the SDL has the same. Push the eject button and the face plate tilts out and the CD slot is found. Harry - Original Message - From: "Donald Snook" To: "Mercedes" Sent: Monday, February 22, 2010 9:20 PM Subject: [MBZ] Cd question 95 E320 If the radio on this

Re: [MBZ] resoldering W123 ACC howto

Resoldered the ACC boards, and still no blower. So my next suspect is the blower motor brushes. Allan, I had the same problem with my SDL and it turned out to be a melted fuse holder in the fuse box. The 300D can also have this problem. Check out this thread at Peachparts. http://www.peac

Re: [MBZ] 300SD still being bad

I did what Jim said and built a tester with an ammeter from a flap. I left mine in the bubble package and did laparoscopic surgery to connect the wires to the meter, put two insulated clips on the other end and it answers the question, good or bad? IIRC about $20. Thanks Harry though I chan

Re: [MBZ] Replacing A/C compressor in a 240D

Rusty/Tom got all the mounting hardware I needed to remount my 240D compressor. Harry I've looked all over and can't find any nuts and bolts descriptions of this job except for the MB disc. All help much appreciated. Thanks, Gerry Archer '83 300D and 240D _

[MBZ] What happened? Just a coincidence?

86 300 SDL, just got off I-20 after 80 mile trip. I needed to change lanes and at about 30 MPH I mashed down to engage the kick down switch. I immediately lost the A/C and blower, the heater seemed to be wide open. The kick down worked and nothing else changed. Stopping and restarting the en
