Ok, we have a 1993 Mercedes 190E model, believe it is the 2.3 L. About
3 months ago it quit while someone was driving it. So it was parked
while we found time to work on it, we tried starting it one evening and
it fired up fine, ran for five minutes and then quit. It has not

Need your comments...
I was hit by a car (Rear-end) not my fault, 6 months ago. I had a
concussion and had to undergo all Physical therapy, Chiro etc...Not
recovered completely, but tired of doing all this. I sold my beautiful

I get no airflow at the footwell. Seems the diverter isn't active.
Otherwise, the heating system works properly. How is the diverter
activated? Vacuum? Is it accessible w/o tearing the heater box apart?

I would like to change the fuel filters in my car.  The translucent one
has recently turned black (I'm sure in part due to the 5 gallons of
virgin soybean oil I poured into the tank), so I figure that's as good
an indication as any.  When I got the car a few weeks ago, it was the

I am getting a 1990 200E from my brother in law next week.  I will be
the 3rd owner.  Is there anything I should check out in the car when I
take ownership of it?  I know that the driver's seat is not in great
condition - the fabric is torn and the stuffing is coming out.  Does

I have a 1983 Mercedes 300SD. The front brakes are locking up.
Calipers/brake hose on front driver side has been recently replaced and
the front passenger side has new pads (caliper looks fine). Does anyone
have any suggestions.

I think I have the classic fuel pump relay symptoms...car has 180k on
it...no trouble at all over the years. Friday, after initial start,
goes along fine. About a mile into my commute, it stalls. Re-starts and
runs fine remainder of the day. Sat morning, same deal...stalls after a

I find that I need to repair/replace a leaking caliper on the left
front of my '87 300SDL. My question is should I go ahead and
replace/repair both front calipers or just the leaky one? Hoses too?
TIA.

Is it possible to attach a 1986 Mercedes 300SDL 3.0L V6 Turborcharger on a
1990 Mercedes 300E 2.6L?
If not, are there any W124 Turbo Chargers for the Mercedes?
Thanks.

I've been an owner of an 86 300E for a couple of years and recently
purchased a 90 300E.  I have the 86 working well (with the exception of an
A/C issue that I'll ask about in another post) as it's the daily "to and
fro" for work.  The 90 will be my wife's car.  And that said, ...

Apropos of nothing in particular I can report that there are very few Ladas
on the streets of central Moscow.  Quite a few Volgas though.
The largish number of black S Class Mercs, some with tinted windows,
suggests quite a few oligarchs, their girlfriends and hangers-on driving

I have started to hear what I can only describe as a 'motor sound' on my
2000 S320cdi when I start the car.  It can last for 15min before it stops.
However, if I use the airmatic system to raise the car the noise stops but
comes back again after about 20 mins.  I'm guessing that ...

I have been searching for an '81-'85 300 DT.  I've come upon a '81
300TDT with 175000 miles for $2000US.  I think the price is a little
high, but the guy has done a lot of front end and suspension work, as
well as fluids, hose and belt replacements.
