[MBZ] 2002 C320 headlight cover

Is there anyone on the list who may know if the plastic headlight covers on a 2002 C320, which tend to degrade and fog up with age, are replaceable as I only seem to be able to find the complete headlight assembly availables? TIA. G. M. Brown Brevard, NC

[MBZ] super leather treatment stuff

Guys, Forgive the memory lapse, as having MB-Tex in both my diesels I've had no reason to remember this stuff until I found a C-class wagon for my brother which has leather upholstery and the front seats have some light cracking. What is the name of that super leather treatment stuff and where

[MBZ] W123 LF window switch

Another WAHOO from someone who's semi-technically competent as the LF window was lowered on my '85 300TD earlier and it wouldn't raise. I pulled the switch apart and found it quite gunky, cleaned it with brake cleaner, spayed with DeOxit, reinstalled and voila it works fine. Don't ya' just

Re: [MBZ] another oddball experience with W123 heat - update

An update for those who may be interested: 1) Installed my acetone + DeOxit cleaned multi-purpose stalk in my '84 300D and all is OK (Yipeee!), and 2) The interior fan problem I was having in my '85 300TD has also been resolved via thoroughly cleaning the pins of the fan speed resistor cage

[MBZ] another oddball experience with W123 heat - update

Guys, I changed the new mono valve insert, which I had obtained from the PartsGeek, back to the one I had in there previously where one could not regulate the temperature via the PBU thumbwheel . . . it would be max heat at the MAX position or almost no heat at any other temp setting. The old

[MBZ] another oddball experience with W123 heat

Since both my '84 300D '85 300TD have trouble maintaining heat as chosen via the thumbwheel on the left of the PBU and I've been through (including resoldering) the troubleshooting guide numerous times for both units and not found a definitive problem. To explain about the problem of not

Re: [MBZ] '85TD interior fan odd behavior update

For anyone keeping track, I changed out the PBU with a spare I have and the same thing occurs where the interior fan does not come on when the Hi-speed fan and middle (lower) PBU button are depressed after the car is started but the fan will start when the defrost button is depressed, so it

Re: [MBZ] '85TD interior fan odd behavior update

The odd behavior which I described previously does not occur when the fan is on and hitting any sort of bump, the fan does not come on after restarting the car (e.g., when running errands) when it's ptreviously been running but seems to come back on after 2 or 3 restarts. And, yes the #8 fuse

[MBZ] '85TD interior fan odd behavior

Guys, Just thought I'd touch base to see if any of you have experienced the same fan oddity and found the cause, etc. While driving around the other day on some errands and stopping/starting the car occasionally, the interior fan would not turn on after a restart unless I turned the car off

No matter how good/bad the price for one of these, I think the majority of the folks on this list are of the somewhat frugal variety and wouldn't be interested in the gas mileage. G. M. Brown Brevard, NC ___

Has anyone on the list tried/succeeded to rebuild their W123 multi-purpose stalk (turn signal, headlight flasher, windshield wiper/washer, and cruise control stalk)? I've obtained a replacement and will hopefully install it tomorrow . . . cross your fingers that the replacement works. TIA. G.

[MBZ] '84 300D multi-purpose stalk

I've been having a somewhat intermittent problem with my low beam headlights turning off seemingly on their own. It seem to occur when either hitting a bump in the road, when using the turn signals, or when using the hi-beam flasher so it must be in the multi-purpose stalk. I've sprayed

Re: [MBZ] (MBZ) '84 300D multi-purpose stalk

I've been looking on the Inet for a replacement multi-purpose stalk for my '84 300D and have found prices for new units at ~ $50 (URO) - $150 (OE). Since it may be awhile before the weather warms up sufficiently for a PNP visit, what's the list's consensus regarding URO products? TIA. G. M.

I can remember when I was somewhat of an audiophile that one could still prefer vinyl over a CD played via a Mark Levinson ($25K) CD player, so I can't relate to the interest(s) in converting to digital files. Other than live performances, I prefer good recordings played back via good

Re: [MBZ] 123 Body Panels

Since my '84 300D may very well be my last car and I didn't want to take a chance on used fenders from a junkyard, I obtained a couple fenders from the Classic Center in CA. As I recall, the price wasn't too exorbitant and the fellow ( jon.sigg...@mbusa.com ) I dealt with was very helpful.
