Re: [MBZ] Carfax request

Hello Dwight, it is a E300 up in Holyoke MA. I'm always tempted when the price is low. It is at a Buick dealership there, 46k miles. I'd love to test drive it! When does your white one arrive? Sam Dwight E. Giles, Jr wrote: Thanks Kaleb. Dwight E. Giles, Jr. 1978 240D 4 speed. 215K

[MBZ] When Did Turbo Come back to E300? '98?

I'm wondering when the turbo came back to the E300. Does anyone know? Was it '98? John Peterson Kingston RI Tom Hargrave wrote: Reminds me of a friend of mine. He's in love with the Civil War period, so much so that he wishes he was around back then. One day I walked into his office

Re: [MBZ] ATF for 91 W124 300D 2.5

The Mobil 1 made a great improvement in my 300D 2.5. The dealer put it in when I had a factory refurbished transmission installed. They recommended it. It shifts much better when cold. John Peterson 1991 300D 2.5 81k LarryT wrote: I plan to use Mobil 1 Synthetic ATF but need to confirm

Re: [MBZ] 1991 turbo questions

Lisa, unless you have a Mity vac, you might not be able to test them, but I have found the vacuum transducers that control Alda etc. can develop a hole and leak pressure, which can give mixed performance. Excuse the question, but is there a clean pre and main fuel filter on there? John

Re: [MBZ] caught by winter's fury!

Curt, do you use the block heater? I ask because I ordered an electric block heater thinking I would need it for my 300D and it starts perfectly without it. It is new in box. You can have it if you're interested and it will fit your 190. JP Curt Raymond wrote: I'm off on a business trip

[MBZ] 722.4 / 1991 300D 2.5 Transmission Question

quarts, the 2nd was installed (factory rebuilt) and was defective 50 miles down the road. This one, the third, is most likely fine by I want to hear from the list on this 1-2 shift and if it is softer than the other shifts. Maybe I just need medication. Thanks friends, John Peterson Kingston RI

Re: [MBZ] 722.4 / 1991 300D 2.5 Transmission Question

flare up during the shift? Is there any difference between a cold box and operating temp box? May pay to pull the pan to see if there is debris in there, while it is off a new filter and fluid can't hurt. Is there any warranty left on the box? - Original Message - From: John Peterson

Re: [MBZ] 722.4 / 1991 300D 2.5 Transmission Question

the transmission fluid in my 300D and it was a bit low so we added a couple of ounces. This might have been part of the slow 1-2 shift. We'll see. Happy motoring to all. John Peterson Kingston RI 1991 300D 2.5 81k LarryT wrote: Hi John, A large % of shifting faults are caused by fluid/filter

[MBZ] 1996 E300

all come to expect from our 123's and 124's, do these compare? Are they a quality item? I personally have been toying with the idea of getting a 190 2.6 gasser for a third car here, along with my question about the later Diesels above, anybody have a 190? Opinions? Thanks John Peterson 1991

I think it is built and open, the one in Warwick RI. I saw it last weekend. I didn't go in, but it appeared to be open for business. Curt Raymond wrote: None in New England yet, purportedly one being built in Warwick, RI. Maybe the RI listers and I should plan a group event on opening day?

[MBZ] Shake at 60MPH after Control Arm R+R

with wheel shake and that this was mostly a result of wheel balance etc. Help! Thanks, John Peterson Kingston RI 1991 300D 2.5 84k

Re: [MBZ] Shake at 60MPH after Control Arm R+R

I'll check the wheel weights. I'm just ticked because I brought it in with no shake at all- but a blown ball joint. Now it shakes like a s.o.g. Could alignment do this? John Peterson John Peterson wrote: After having both of my control arms replaced, I get a pretty severe shake
