They sit on 175F (or 83C) and I am a happy camper. Usually
order a jug from Autohaus AZ when I am filling an order for
other things so I can get some free shipping. I lived with a
hot car (90-100C) and I don't want to go back there
again.

Contact Kent at Mercedes Source, or ask Tom at Classic Center to query one of their mechanics.

Wow, you have a 180? I'm impressed, I want one. You need a authentic Old German guy that knows these cars, hard to find these days. Max

Possibly one injector is acting up? Fuel feed to that injector leans out with temperature, or the injector/tip running leaner as it heats up.  Bill in Oregon

What kind of coolant do you use? I never seem to change mine, but then I dont drive much anymore. Max

Both cars (1983 300d's) got new radiator caps. Mary got a new P/S pump gasket, and got her 5 year old hood pad removed courtesy of my local car wash and super vacuum. Next up will be installation of an air filter for Mary, and a change of coolant (after I unthread the broken plastic radiator plug). And maybe I will replace the rear drivers door check, and put on 2 new muffler hangers (with the chain inside). Nothing major, just fun stuff now that autumn has come upon us.

[diesel_mercedes] RE: who has Manager Righter to Mercedes site?

 

Taran, how about going through the photo album section and deleting the albums that are older than one or two years that don't have any pictures in the album, or just one or two that are just "look, here is my car" shots.

[diesel_mercedes] Is Stretch really Stretch

 

I get a Peach monthly newsletter. Here is what showed up this morning. Colour choice for a W123 300D 4 door - what would you choose? - PeachParts Mercedes ShopForum

 



Don't think this is "Stretch" from Alabama, but who knows where people move.  The pictures are nice to look at anyway.  Peach forum member, Stretch, always has a few projects on-hand for all of us to enjoy but this time he's reaching out to the Peach community for assistance as he needs to decide which color to paint his glorious 300D. You can help him decide by taking the live poll now with lovely color choices such as the original Manganese Brown or perhaps Cypress Green, Lapis Blue, Blue Green — you decide! What's your favorite classic metallic Mercedes color? Register and take the poll now!
