The wire came loose right at the connector. It looks like someone repaired it before since the wire has been stripped. I think I just pulled it out of the connector. Hopefully, I’ll have a working temp gauge once I slip it back together and tighten it down. Kevin in Hillsboro, OR 1982 240D 191Km

Are washers required under the air filter housing mounting nuts? Also, while Messing with the main linkage from the valve cover down to the IP, I knocked off the wire to what I believe is the temperature sending unit. Can I just take the connector apart, re-route the wire inside the connector, a

I got the valve adjustment done and the cover back on. The engine sounds much quieter! Most exhaust valves were WAAY loose, nearly 1.5x the amount of clearance! Intake valves were pretty good, and none were excessively tight. The air filter housing had the wrong mounts, one of which had brok
