My merc has air-con not cooling. What possibly could be the problem(s) and
what are remedies. Any idea about costs (in aussie dollars?). Thanks
ps

If it is true that you cannot turbo a 240d ...then can you put a 300TD
engine in a 240D?

Okay to update everyone again...... This past month the car would run for
a little while and then cut out.  I cut the catalytic converter out think

first replaced the fuel filter about 2 wks ago.  

Hello all, my 89 190E2.6...Radiator warning light is on even coolant
still full
eny boydy have any sugestion.
sincerily

I recently noticed that my MPG have dropped off by almost 5-7 MPG. No
light on the dash. No loss of performance (at least none that I can
notice). Recently changed all the filters. There is some VERY minor
leak near return air manifold (EGR stff?) that loops back on the driver

The car is my good old '86 190E 2.3.
I drove the car back home from a short errand.  As I turned into my
driveway, the belt tensioner failed causing a loud screeching noise. I
lifted the hood and found the serpentine belt totally loose but intact.

On startup from (very) cold the tappets make a noise, but eventually
disappears, certainly after getting warm. When warm the tickover is about
