I think you addressed every question! ;-) Just finished vacuuming
the engine compartment - not a lot but difficult to get to - mostly under
the hinges and around the battery. I may have to add another attachment to
my shop vac. - something with a long hose on its end.

Yeah, I've always liked just having outside air flow through into the cabin
without bothering to use the juice to run a fan.
It seems that Mercedes thinks that if you can afford the car you won't care

Larry - I don't recall any small inline filters over by the battery on my
car, but there are lots of vacuum lines - be careful NOT to inadvertently
disconnect any, especially when changing the air filter. You will quickly
notice when your turbo 2.5 becomes non turbo!
As for cool outside air,

Do a search on diesel smoke and you will find some sites that offer advice
on what the different colours mean.
White smoke may mean your head gasket is gone.

Larry - I thought you said you had some filters from your 123? The in-line

I thought the difference was that the torque converter was looser, and

White smoke can mean way, way too much fuel. Black smoke is a little

Whoa, Nellie. The tranny used in the 1985 W123's is different, but not

but definitely no lockup. I vaguely recall the 85 may have the weaker
