I just purchased a 1997 300D. What is the "published" horsepower on this
engine? Has anybody increased the hp with addons short of a turbo?
Thanks!

I'm thinking of buying a Mercedes but not sure what to buy. I'm just a
normal working Joe so I can't afford to go out and buy a new one. A friend
recently bought a four year old C220 CDI which is very nice. Basically I'm
thinking of something around 6 years old, probably a C180, ...

This car is driving me nuts lately.  It all started with a rough idle. This
made me realize some high resistance in the plug boot as well as the distri-
butor cap (whoever came up with the idea of burying resistors should be...)
Now, with new bosch super copper plugs and cleaned ...

Hi, I recently got the four injectors in my 220CDI engine
replaced/reconditioned.  SInce starting to drive the cars again I have
noticed a sever drop in power.  Basically when im starting of from
standstill there is no power until about 3000rpm so the car is moving

Anyone know of a source for the Navigation CD's other than the dealer. I
have a 2001 ML320 with the MCS Navigation Unit.

My left HID headlight on my C55 cuts on and off with no pattern when I
drive.  When it goes off it is completely off and when it comes back on
after one or two seconds it is completely on and bright.  Any possible
causes - my dealer is over 100 miles away.

I tune the radio to a preset and listen to my iPod in the car.  Its not

Help!  It's getting hot in here!
Weirdest thing.  My electric windows were working fine one day, then we
have a big storm, and the next day the passenger side front and driver
side rear won't respond to the switch.  Not a big deal because i mostly

I would like to convert my 1997 300D to run on WVO. Has anyone done it
themselves and if so, what is a good resource for guidance and parts?
Thanks!

I have read a lot of posts here referring to the o2 sensor. I understand
what these devices measure when working properly, but had some general
questions.
Do these devices have a finite life? If so, is it a number of years

Hi everybody...
Let me ask you a question - is it possible to install electric windows in
W123? Are there any parts for 123 or should I try using something from 124
or maybe even some completely different car (WV, Audi... no idea)?

Does anyone know if there is a common cause for plug fouling in this
engine?  The offending cylinder is #4 and the plug looks to be fouled
by a carbon residue.  It is not oil soaked, but maybe the valve seals
are weak.  I can take the plug out and clean it which cures the problem

    We have had this beautiful 1990 300SEL for over eight years now
and for driving comfort and luxury, we could not ask for more.
    So we were driving to the airport to catch an overseas flight and
less than a mile away, I noticed the temperature needle all the way at

Anyone know where I can get a bra for a 2002 E-320?  I called the dealer
and he gave me a lecture about paint fade, etc.  Hell, I know all that
but I need one for a 600 mile trip in mid-June and don't want to have
the hood repainted IF I get a rock chip.

I am really in love with the 280/380 SLs but need a four seat
alternative - any suggestions from anyone?
Thanks
