Hey Kajtek, I'm researching a problem with the lock cylinders. Before even attempting to remove it. What precautions should I take with the steering wheel?

Thanks.

Hello! If you don't mind my asking, what Bay Area Dealer did you buy your Smart Key from? I just bought a CLK430 and only have 1 key, the local dealer up here in the Valley wants $215.

Hi Kajtek!!
Just let me know which Polish beer do you want and I can bring you some from East coast. We have all of them here like back in Poland
I'm on West coast almost every week driving my car carrier.
I found '96 E300 for sale so if I buy it then hopefully you can give me some advise whith repairs etc.
Pozdro!

Hi Kajtek1

you recently replied to my serpentine belt noise issue, you seem you have experience with things.

I have another issue, my check engine oil level light has been comming on for almost a year, i got a new sensor and still the light comes on!! the oil is up to the max mark!! not sure what is causing this issue now

Do you still have your "REAR ML 320 BUMPER"?
Saw an older post and just thought I'd ask anyway...

Hi Kajtek1

How is your w211 doing? What year was it? Any feedback as I am about to own a 2003 E500.

Thanks,

I have bad experience with NAPA parts quality. You can find OEM part on the net cheaper than NAPA stuff anyway.

Where should I buy glow plugs for my 1996 e300d? Online or Napa Auto Parts.

Kajtek,

You seem to know a bit about the mid to late nineties diesels.I currently own an '87' 300TD and am considering upgrading to a newer diesel.I'm primarily interested in higher MPG and a larger fuel tank to get me longer range.I considered going the TDI route but they seem too flimsy.
I currently get about 30MPG doing 60-65 and have about an 18 gal. tank.I'd like to get 35+ MPG and although I like the power of the turbo, MPG is more important for me.I currently have an Elsbett kit on my car to run the car on clean veggie oil and would plan to do the same on my next car.I've heard about some of these mid-nineties cars having a 23+ gallon tank.
Priorities:
-Reliability
-Build quality
-High MPG
-Large fuel tank

Thank you,
Robert

Thanks again Kajlek1, the connector on top of the Duo valve was loose and had vibrated off so the coils were not being energised. All ok now and I have saved a lot of cash.
Thats the power of the forum.
