Thanks, I wouldn't have thought to check there, but I did find a spot that it worked on. Those are some interesting instrument lights. I've never seen gauges...
I'm noticing I definitely have some slop in my steering. Like probably 20 degrees I can turn side to side without affecting the wheels. I noticed something...
... Well, whadaya know! It does work... Rotate the trip-odometer reset button and you can raise and lower the lights on the dash! Cool... I knew there must...
... The 240D idles at 750RPM, if I remember correctly... And my report of it losing a quart of oil with the filler-cap off was not entirely at idle -- I pulled...
And with all this talk of jacking, I thought I'd get your opinions. I see in the manual your supposed to use these pads with pins on them if your going to use...
I have had my ’81 300d supported by jack stands at the jacking points dozens of times in the 17 years I have been driving it. It won’t hurt a thing. Just...

So, more digging around and pulling off panels and seats and everything else, here's what I found after about 5 hours this morning: Vacuum "distributor" (i.e.,...
Hmm, I must have been looking at a different page in Haynes then (not that I know what a Sagniaw box is). I'll have to look again. Biggest question is then: ...
Levi. Not sure of size but on most "large" allen wrench plugs you can "stack" some nuts of the appropriate size on a bolt and either braze them or lock them...

I ran into this problem and couldn’t get the plug out. I finally took the cover off and took it to a machine shop. The guy simply put an air wrench with a...
I forgot….Snap-on carries the “socket”. Hold on to your wallet though. Paul Deyo Technical Director Hickory Motor Speedway www.hickorymotorspeedway.com ...
... If you get a allen you can cut (have to use a grinder) off a piece a couple inches long and then use that in a six point socket. Wait until you buy the...
Hi all, A friend has a 71 220D with column shift automatic. Speedo needs to be removed to repair odometer. I know how to take apart the cluster, etc., but do...
Levi, I think that the Mercedes spec on steering wheel play is 25MM or one inch. Any more than that and it needs some attention (tie rod, ball joint, steering...

Total time with engine running and oil cap off was about 60 seconds, with about 15 seconds of that at full throttle -- that's what lost me the quart of oil... ...

Of course I should have added a little precision...: without welding!! ... The transmission and supports will be OK. I can even easily modify the fuel pump,...
Well, learned a lot yesterday. We replaced the frozen AC compressor. I found one on a Camaro at PP and it works great. It had good resistance when turning...
Well next was speedometer surgery. The needle seemed to stick on the speedo and I wanted to get in there and see why. My friend Luis introduced me to the...
If its a 17mm, you can get it at Sears. The one I have actually said "for VW and other drainplugs" I bought it for the 17mm plugs on my VWs and Audis. ...
I got to looking, and while on the ground sitting still, engine not running it seems like the steering wheel is turning the wheels what i would expect. Is it...

I have an Energizer Group 49 size battery in my 240D. Had an Eveready battery in my other car for over 8 years and it never had a problem! Finally thought I...
Funny, I was having problems with this, too. I found that to unlock it, the key had to be turned all the way to the left (past horizontal) and then the trunk...
Are the fog lights wired through a relay? I don't hear a "click" anywhere when the switch is pulled out. On my W115 240D, the fog lights are mysteriously...
... My central-locking system works perfectly, and it's definitely not 10 to 15 seconds -- more like 3 seconds... So, if everything but the vacuum cannister...
