Agree. Strip whatever is likely to sell for enough $$ to be worth the hassle, and scrap the rest. Stuff happens. Maybe cut out some sheet metal to use for body repairs on other cars if you want to get into doing that. On Sun, May 14, 2023, at 15:44, Buggered Benzmail via Mercedes wrote: > The

It was sitting a little too close for comfort to a CDI but never got hot enough to do anything.  I am very glad it was not "on the line" with other cars as it would have surely caught them on fire, or in the shop where the really nice cars are. On 5/14/2023 4:47 PM, Kevin Kraly via Mercedes

There is no ecm that controls anything with the glow plugs. If the relay gets power, but no power is coming out of the pins to the glow plug harness, then the relay is bad. Sent from my iPhone > On May 14, 2023, at 9:02 AM, Dimitri Seretakis via Mercedes > wrote: > > So I’m thinking that

Re: [MBZ] 300D 2.5 Glow Plug Relay

So I’m thinking that maybe the ground to the relay is the problem or that there is an ecm issue. The relay gets power but doesn’t put out power to the glow plugs. But where is the relay grounded? The three connections are the power lug to the battery, the harness to the glow plugs and the
