Well, per Kaleb's assurance, I'm adding tranny fluid pint by pint.
That stupid fluid level has yet to climb above the bottom part where
it's curled. Wonder why it's so very low?! Yes, I know, cause it just
is.
ALSO: the seller brought me a quart of Lubro Moly ATF III. I've been
adding regular old

Better too low than too high!
If you don't know what is in the tranny, or how old it is, I'd suggest
you drain it all out, change the filter, and refill with M1 ATF.

Yes, I agree - I don't know when I'll have time though - crazy times.
I just added another pint and now at least the thing reads on the
stick. Seems to be about 1 1/2 quarts low - that is is the distance
between the top line and the bottom line is one pint, and if it reads
accordingly all the way
Okay, that's good to know. guess the fluid was just way low for some
reason. I'm cringing to know that I drove it so far that way. The odds
are against the poor tranny to start with, what with the 267k mi.

Not familiar with W201 wiring, but my W116 blows that fuse when I
romp hard on the throttle. Reason: a short in the transmission
kickdown system, only drawing
on and grounding to the
waterpump.

I had to read the other post to put this into context. I thought maybe
you were talking about Porsche or BMW owners, and I know they all have
short dipsticks.

Hey, Dipsticks.
My '87 190DT dipstick reads 126 270 00 83 and it sure hurt when tattooed!

Brian I looked up your car in the EPC to get the part numbers. Too little or
too much oil in a motor is never a good thing. I'd try to get the right
dipstick soon.

Thanks James. But I am talking about the tranny dipstick.
It's disturbing to hear that I could in fact have the correct dipstick
in there, as I have been running the thing quite low if that is the
case. My road trip from So. CA to Seattle surely has not helped
things. Again, my tranny dipstick

That is the correct dipstick. It can be low and still shift fine.

Okay, thanks. Also, thanks to Randy for suggesting I find another 190D
and ask to see their dipstick. (not chuckling along with you all).
There will certainly be no trouble finding Mercedes diesels around

Okay, now: With the climate control switched to off (the zero button

Would run for a bit, then shut off for a second or two, then start
running again. I took it for some neat feature of the ACC that adjusts
for the cabin temperature
My ACC has done that - it was the push button unit it's self. You take
it out, take it apart, and re-solder the switch connections and clean
the switches with Deoxit. I think there's a write up in the list
archives.

Actually, there is more to it than that. It's not the
switches you resolder, but the connections between the
main board and the boards mounted on the sides. When
these were manufactured, they relied on solder to
