[MBZ] wiper stalk switch problem?

My wipers quit awhike ago on the 85 300tdt. Fuses are ok. Is this a stalk switch malfunction? The left turn signal also works intermittently, changing from slow to fast blink then back again, but bulbs illuminate fine. I am also planning an injection pump/turbo upgrade and an intercooler. Anybody

Wipers could be the stalk, but usually a stalk problem is intermittent. Worth a shot, but be ready to test motor as well. Max Dillon, Charleston SC On Sep 25, 2014 5:27 AM, Karl W via Mercedes mercedes@okiebenz.com wrote: My wipers quit awhike ago on the 85 300tdt. Fuses are ok. Is this a

The transmission is new. You guys helped me get it rebuilt by the Sun Valley guy. The u-shaped hose seems tight on the air cleaner. Not sure where else it could be leaking. Manifold obviously but it all looks fine. Maybe a soap bubble test is in order. In any event it does not appear to be bad

I have an 82 300SD turbo which may be similar. The big plastic U that connects the air cleaner to the turbo has rubber seals at both ends and it's not hard for one of these to fold under or push out of position when you reinstall the U. This condition causes a bad seal that can let dirt in and

The he221w is the same size as the T3 on both sides roughly, but has a higher flow potential due to 20y more advanced design. Spool is similar for the 6cm housing version on a stock pump. I might go for the 7 and non stock pump. The other option is an hy30, which is bigger in diameter but has a t3
