Ok thanks Dan. I used to be registered for that, but at one point it kicked me out or wanted to start charging me money, at which point I stopped using it and forgot the password etc. 77 is perfect. I will try it. Thanks again. On Jun 4, 2017 6:53 AM, "Dan Penoff via Mercedes"

Dan can you use your vin to get a fan shroud part number for your 95 300d? I need to put one into the retrofit om606 in the 87. Alternative is a low profile SPAL fan triggered on a thermostat of some type. On May 9, 2017 5:53 AM, "Dan Penoff via Mercedes" wrote: I still

I doubt any yard will sell a catalytic converter. I tried to buy one from our local LKQ, no joy. Very frustrating. $1600 or more from MB for a new part. I suspect that the non-turbo front pipes with cat from a 210 car can be adapted to fit without too much work. -- Max Dillon Charleston SC

Not in my neighborhood. I appreciate your concern. While there may be some blow by, the engine is fine. Compression checked out across all cylinders. Again, I didn’t buy this to be a Martha car. It’s going to be run into the ground. Not everything I buy needs to be perfect, and I know what

Now that I am looking at it closer I have to say for the money you could have found a much better example. There are 2 big red flags for me. First of all the cat being deleted. Like max says the exhaust will not sound right at all. That's going to be a major annoyance. The big big big huge huge

Re: [MBZ] And I Just Closed the Deal on This 1995 E300D

Well, I see a couple things, but the price is great and they are really nice cars when sorted out. The muffler / catalyst delete troubles me. Mine sounded awful with no cat, and not much better with an aftermarket cat. The exhaust system is really tuned for the best sound. No discussion of the
