I obtained replacement vacuum diaphrams for the gas flap and trunk lock vacuum elements for my 1976 450SL and these are the new style with the threaded aluminum do-hickey molded in. The problem I have is that the thread size of this aluminum do-hickey is larger than the threaded gas flap plunger

Surprise - another on-topic post. This car has been leaking fuel - you could smell it after driving it. I sprayed everything clean to see where it was coming from, and narrowed it down to the delivery valve seals on top of the injection pump. Twice this last week the car was VERY hard to start

OK gang. I got a car puzzler. My 1983 300TD has incessant, incurable max heat 24/7 regardless of the settings. I swapped out the monovalve insert, monovalve assembly and ACC push button module. No effect whatsoever. All fuses are good. Blower works great - blows super hot air anytime!

I just found a 1993 124. The seller claims it has a 2.8 liter engine. I have never heard of a 2.8 in any of the newer cars. I remember my old 250 had a 2.8 in it. What is the story? I am only asking because there is a VERY nice 124 on ebay. Donald H. Snook 1990 300SEL 137K (For Sale)

Check the boost signal lines first -- they must be clear and hold pressure, or the boost signal is late. Also check for free movement of the wastegate control link on the turbo, if it's sticking, you will be low on boost. I would guess some of the rubber connections on the boost signal line

Very likely you have a bad expansion valve, or crud in the orifice. The suction like should be quite cool, and be covered with condensation when the system is operating. You may also have considerable air in there. You should also check the resistance of the evaporator temperature sensor,
