Surging problem: My 81 300D (nonturbo) has great throttle response and power. The engine was rebuilt by the PO and I would guess it has around 6000-10000 miles...
Hi Sugi. Do you feel the surge thru your foot pedal??? Could be the 'cruise control' kicking in and out. Mine does that sometimes although the cruise...
I had the same experience with the cruise control. It was so dangerous that I disconnected the linkage between the servo and the throttle. Never had the...
... My 300SD does this when I operate the turn signals with the cruise control engaged, the cruise control surges in time with the blinkers... bk...

1980 300D. Is there any adjustment anywhere for the front/rear brake bias? I was driving around today, and getting some rear brake lock-up. The roads were...
Fans are cheap and plentiful , you needn't break your bank buying and O.E.M. one as there's plenty of space to fit one up . AC parts too , all over the place ....
I don’t believe there is a brake bias adjustment however, the master cylinder reservoir is split into 2 sections; front and rear. If you had a leak in one...
TX., To follow up on Paul's concern, after I checked the fluid levels, I would apply a "shady tree mechanic" test. Find a dirt road. Drive about 10 mph and...
Nate, glad to here you are diggin' your 300CD. Warms my heart. To answer de question…Yes I still have the plastic part for you. On the other hand, we got to...
Yes it's true. Due to the success of the station in Pacific Palisades, the second Biodiesel Station has opened in Los Angeles. ... Now Open as of May 10th,...
Larry R. again, how does one go about changing the rubber mount/dampener on the front struts on a Benz? My car sits level from what I can see, and I measured...
Can any of you guys tell me what the pressure should be on the low side of an r134a system? Also, is that at idle, fast idle or higher RPM? Thanks! Paul Deyo ...
Max, The folklore is that you will get about the same. The biodiesel has slightly less power, but the better lubricity and cleaning make up for it. Bobby ... ...
Anyone have any experience with this? Sounds fabulous if its for real. http://www.dieselsecret.com/ Paul Deyo Technical Director Hickory Motor Speedway ...

... Expect to lose 2-5 mpg on bio, depending on phases of the moon or something. There can be a noticeable reduction in power, too. But, the engine will...

Brian, That is true - I like Girl Mark's instruction book. But diesel Secret is not making bio-diesel. Bio diesel is vegetable oil with the glycerin removed....
Rather than bio-diesel, this is a "blending" product. Lots of folks have good luck blending unleaded gas with filtered, dewatered WVO and running it in their...
Hey everyone, I finally found the problem to why my car would not start. What happened was the water pump failed causing one of the pistons to crack. That...

BK, Sorry for the confusion. Diesel Secret does not claim to be making Bio-diesel. Like many websites, it has a panel down the left with suggested topics....
... If you know what the pressure should be for an R-12 system, subtract 20% for the R-134a numbers... Between 25% and 15% lower than the R-12 numbers is...
