The belt tensioner can rattle also, and is more likely in my experience.
The fuel line leak I had in a W115 car was where the metal line rubbed

Lots of noise or very quiet and smoky? If you run it til it warms up,

the lack of headlight washers, which so far I've only seen one '90 (mine)
that did not have them, but mine was a zone car so not in the normal
pipeline of imports by MBUSA.

FWIW - my '90 doesn't have headlight washers either. I think it's a
normal channel car.

You're correct on the mpg -I get about 31-32 on my 90 300D 2.5t. Mine does

On my '87 SDL, they turn on when the headlights are on, and you
activate the windshield washer. - They only turn on when they might be
needed - no special switch - totally transparent operation - good MB

Question: if you have them, how do you turn them on? I test drove one and
My 91 doesn;t have the headlight washers either - I read somewhere (maybe
on the CarFax?) - they were optional on diesels - standard on the more
expensive models -
My understanding- headlight wipers were standard on the 300e, didn't
come on the 2.6 liter models like mine. That's fine, makes
The headlight wipers was an option actually. I have seen quite a few
without them. In fact, more without than with.

I'm pretty sure that the gassers got the headlight wipers standard, but the
diesels had them as an option that no one paid for.
My 92 300D doesn't have them either, and it was bought in Cincinnati.

I went to Lowes and got Rustoleum primer, and some silver. Turned out
that the silver was bright, and the directions stated that bright
is not for outdoors use. Since I do plan on leaving these wheels
outside, I then sprayed them with two coats of clear - Krylon I think
- that reduced the bright

Well replacing #3 glowplug with manifold in place went alot easier than
#2. I think I will be able to replace any of the 1-5 with the manifold
in place now. Next, moved on to replace the oil pressure sending unit
since the guage pegs as soon as the key is turned on. Tried 3 different
ones
Congrats! It will be a really nice car when you're through. The wheels
are a nice new silver color now - just need to get tires this week,
and I'll be ready to drive the SLC --- let me know when you're ready
for me to come up and test drive the other '91300D2.5.

Here is an old trick I use to see if there is a drain on the battery if you
don't have an amp meter, just hook a 12v bulb in series with positive cable
then to the battery if it glows real bright you have a load that's pulling
down your battery. A dim glow might be clock running or memory in the

You also need to check the relay for the safety belt sign, it goes bad
and pulls about an amp.
Both of these ran the battery down on my brother's SDL.

Well, now that its dark, I just went out to check the status of the
battery charging. After a little diagnostic work, I found the problem.
Anybody care to guess what it was?
