| 6000 rpm @ 70mph | 21 Apr 2005 07:50 GMT | 11 |
I have a 1989 190e automatic, and have only recently begun driving it daily to work on the highway. I usually have to 'floor it' from the on ramp to the entering lane just to build up enough speed (30mph - 60mph). I notice that at 70mph the tachometer reads about 6000rpm. Is that ...

| 77 123 280E prop vibration or am I missing something? | 20 Apr 2005 23:38 GMT | 8 |
So... I changed the front rubber flexi drive, the centre bearing and carrier, and now I've swapped the whole prop for a known good 2nd hand unit.

| correct position of 82 300sd idler arm | 20 Apr 2005 14:07 GMT | 2 |
I have an 82 MB 300sd and it got whacked on the left wheel at about 5-10 mph when the wheel was turned to the left. Afterward the steering wheel wasn't straight when driving straight but was turned about 30 degrees. All the linkage seems tight and the idler arm looks pretty new

Cranks hard but will not start. I changed distributor cap and wiring and spark plugs. No change. Won't start in park or neutral. Anybody has any ideas or suggestions?

I took my 2000 C230 for an 'A' service recently. Last year, it was in for a 'B' service. My dash now states that my next service is a 'B' service. Is it not supposed to be 2 'A' services for each 'B' service?

| Looking for w110 heater core | 18 Apr 2005 06:31 GMT | 2 |
Any of you have or know anyone who has a w110 heater core that I could buy? As well, I drove about 30 miles with the air cleaner off (1966 200S), just straight open carbs, is it likely that I could have caused some damage? TIA

| Antique Benz trivia help | 18 Apr 2005 02:30 GMT | 2 |
Greets, I have a small bet with a friend I need help resolving. I swear I read somewhere about an antique (1920-ish?) Benz restoration that involved a laminated, or stacked engine block. Apparently

| Stop lever doesn't shutdown '81 300TD Turbo | 18 Apr 2005 00:11 GMT | 2 |
My stop lever all of a sudden won't shutdown my engine. The idle drops slightly and it runs like crap, but it won't actually shutdown. This just started all of a sudden. Linkages are fine and I even took the top end of the linkage going to the IP off and moved it to the shutdown ...

| manual for 91 560 sel stereo | 17 Apr 2005 23:24 GMT | 5 |
Anyone know which Blaupunkt was installed in the 91 560sel? Mine has am/fm/cd, and a maze of menus. I just want to get the manual so I can tell what I am doing. Why I don't know, I can't afford to drive it with fuel prices rising so quickly. Thanks

| Rebuilt fuel distributor opinions | 17 Apr 2005 21:52 GMT | 2 |
The fuel distributor on my 90 300 is tired, but a new one across the Mercedes counter is a couple thousand dollars. WAY too much. An alternative seems to be a rebuilt one. Anyone have experience with this? Advice appreciated.

| 380SL Climate control | 17 Apr 2005 18:13 GMT | 1 |
I have a 1982 380SL with climate control. If the temp wheel is set to max cold, the ac works and blows very cold air. If I reduce temp to anything other than max cold, it blows hot air at all settings. Anybody know of what might be wrong?

| Mercedes 260E: electrical problem | 17 Apr 2005 17:47 GMT | 4 |
I have an 88 260E. Engine coolant temperature, engine oil pressure and RPM meters died yesterday. Also a little buzz comes up any time I turn the key to driving position. Every fuse in the fuse box looks just fine (unless there are hidden that I know of).
