Are the fuel lines in a car of this vintage synthetic? I'm told that I
really don't need to change to Viton to run B99.
TIA

I can't believe my good luck. I was driving by the yard that I frequent and
decided to stop in. Walking down the third row of cars I saw a 1985 190E.
Not getting my hopes up since I have seen about a dozen of these cars all
with automatic,  I looked inside and saw the five speed ...

Wondering if anyone else has this problem and how it was fixed.  So
far the the mechanic say it is the bearing in the fan assembly.  He
greased it and it went away for an hour and now it is back.
Cold engine, no noise.  20 minutes later the squealing starts.  As you

Thank You for all of your previous responses to my posts.
I like driving the 230CE but the RPM's are high at 3000@ 60 MPH.  I am
preparing to put a 5-speed transmission from a W201 190D in to help out. I
expect it to be a bolt-up job. The only problem is finding a 5-speed

I am intending to fit an engine from a Mercedes 300d 1990 into a 300ce
1990. Has anyone attempted this? Any problems? It seems a
straightforward job, but wonder if the extras like Air Con, Cruise etc
make it more complicated.

I read or heard somewhere that using the cruise control is hazardous to
your fuel mileage. Is that true? If so, why? Seems to me it should
increase your fuel mileage.

Am looking to get an 00-02 CLK Coupe here in the UK and wanted it with
Parktornic. Unfortunately, not many good examples have this factory
fitted from new but I spoke to one independent dealer who said that
for £500 (£250 for rear, £250 for front), the original Merc parktronic

I need to change the rear axle subframe mount bushings (the two
rubber bushings in the front of the subframe) on my 1989
230E (W124). How do I get these off/on? Do I need to remove the
entire subframe for this job? Any hints appreciated.

The Defroster-A/C system on my 1997 E320 was acting up. It was behaving
erratically. It would only operate at full on or completely off. The
dealer said that the motor control system needed replacement, but that
in order to do this the whole blower system had to be replaced. I ...

My daughter's 1987 300D (W124) has developed a significant oil leak

I had been looking to get into a used SL and had my sights set on a 1991
500SL with 95k in my area.  It's white with AMG rims and looks sharp.
Dealer is asking $13k.  I've also been a fan of the XK8 series by Jaguar and
just found one listed at another dealer for the EXACT same ...

I have been told that it is necsessary to unmounth the speedometer wire from
the transmission hood (Auomatic transmission -88 mod  230E) before it is
possible to take out the dash board, for changing the lights. I have been
under the car and searched, but  I can not find out where ...

Hello. Can someone please help? I parked the car 2 months ago after putting a
lower control arm on it and was saving for tires, brakes and a front end
alignment. I made an appointment at the tire and alignment shop to have the
work done and the car would not start. It ran fine when ...

No changes are made to the already potent 600hp 8.4-liter aluminum
V10, however, the suspension receives KW coilovers that are adjustable
in ride height and dampening in addition to a new front stabilizer bar
for increased front end stiffness and reduced body roll.
