[MBZ] Running hot.

In addition to my injector issue, my car runs hot at higher speeds. I've never replaced the coolant since I bought the car 3.5 yrs ago. I'm planning on a citric acid flush as well. Where do you get citric acid anyway? My GF who used to work in a lab would supply it for me but now she no longer

The PO of my '81 300TD and I both overheated it a couple times and ruined the headgasket. Car still started and ran great but would belch white smoke if idled for more than a couple minutes and eventually would fill #1 with water if the radiator cap was left on over night. It'd be worth

2012-07-09 Thread Curt Raymond
I'm wondering about the fuel pump. I had a GMC once that started and drove good but shuddered at takeoff. New fuel pump cured it. I also did a purge last weekend. I did 2 cans with 20 minute rest in the middle to dissolve any crud. Didn't get much back in the bottle, turned it slightly darker
