Yes, the W126 window motors are wired directly to the switch. You chose wisely by removing the motor in situ. That's what I had to do when I replaced the "sliding jaw" on the LR window regulator on the 300SEL. -D > On May 1, 2017, at 12:43 PM, Floyd Thursby via Mercedes >

A lot of you here know Todd. Todd and his family lost their 21 year old son last week. If you want to reach out to Todd you can do so at: to...@wi.rr.com I am sure they would be appreciative of any and all kind words and support. Dan Sent from my iPad

Good point - for the diesels, which she rarely drives. They're "too slow" for her. She also doesn't like the larger S class cars. She likes her SL500 the best. I apologize to that car every time I get in it, because I know she just thrashes the poor thing. I'll give it credit that it has held

Re: [MBZ] Who is Best?

Mercedes is about $100 Corteco (OEM) is about $30 Remainder are $20 and below (not under consideration as this range is clearly substandard.) No more Lemförder, NLA. They were OEM prior to Corteco. I'm going with the Corteco. A new bearing including all the goodies like dust boots and such

[MBZ] Strange Noises, Too

300SEL rumbles starting around 50 mph, definitely perceptible by 65. You can even slightly feel it in your seat, too. I'm thinking center support bearing, but I'm also wondering if the inner CV joint that has a cracked boot could be doing it, too? There is still grease in the joint/boot and

Re: [MBZ] Strange noises

In the W140 vergassers there is all sorts of sheet metal shielding in the tunnel. Between that and the insulation that falls off, I'll bet you've got a piece of insulation that's flopping around or hitting the drive shaft. -D Sent from my iPad > On Mar 15, 2017, at 10:08 AM, Kaleb C. Striplin

Re: [MBZ] Klima Konfusion about part numbers

The relay on my W126 300SEL is not a KLIMA, it's a MAS. It will have a knob (not a button) on the top with an "I" and an "O" positions, indication that it is locked down ("I") or open "(O"). It does have the functions of a KLIMA, but it also interfaces with the fuel system idle control as
