The 1990 300D 2.5T has a pretty bad leak at the number 4 delivery valve. I use
biodiesel extensively during the warmer months so I want to replace the o ring
with viton. The ones that Fcp euro and autohausaz sell are not marketed as
viton. Does anyone know if they are viton, and if not, where I

So I finally got to replacing the serpentine belt on the 90 300D 2.5Turbo. The
belt broke leaving me stranded a couple of months ago. I attributed it to the

The serpentine belt just broke a mile or so from home. I managed to coast back
home mostly downhill with some short spurts where I drove the car until it
started getting hot.
Anyway, I might tackle it on my own as I did the alternator on that car when I
first got it and obviously the

The 1990 300D 2.5 Turbo has been sitting for 5 days and now it won’t start. It

A Subaru is a weenie mobile. Tell him to get a Mercedes. Maybe a w211 like
Dwight has.

I fixed it! Thanks to everyone who helped! The issue was indeed a bad ground to
the relay. The ground was basically where Fred said- left front fender, under
the headlight assembly. The ground wire where it connected to the terminal was
basically corroded to dust. I cut it back to clean copper

Thanks. I saw that but sadly there is no mention of where the gp relay is
grounded.

Thank you! I like how the bulb brightness will tell me the condition of the
connection. I will test tomorrow hopefully.

Ok so one is indeed the ground. How do I check to see if ground is working.
Kaleb said to jumper it to another known ground but how do I do that when the
connector connects everything together? Jumper every contact in the connector
with every corresponding pin on the relay? That is technically
hole and its
corresponding pin?
