EGR filter ?
1 - 3 of 3 Posts
EGR as an abreviation for Exhaust Gas Recirculation is a system of reducing polution by returning certain amount of exhaust gases for "reburning".
Books say this "HP killing disease" started in Holywood early 70's and spread around the globe but not sure if that is right.
Never had one on my car and hope never to have one ever.
Re air filter, I use standard paper element from a nationwide cross-model supplier, not pursuing more HP than what I have. If you have K-Jetronic (not sure if same for D-Jetronic) an use say something like K&N for better breathing you will have to readjust idle speed and CO2.

Why doesn't my 1985 280SL show up on any parts lists?
R/C107 SL/SLC ClassI just bought a 1985 280-SL. The body is in almost perfect shape, and mechanically it seems pretty solid (for a 1985 model car). This car was sold to me as a "grey market" car... it was a German model that was imported the US from a private owner in Germany. I understand, therefore, that...- 8

560SL Fuel Pump Relay Module
R/C107 SL/SLC ClassI have a question about installing a new fuel pump relay module for my 89' 560SL. There are a few older threads that I read, and my question is about the orientation of the module.

1973 350slc 4-speed (11/2019 purchase)
R/C107 SL/SLC ClassHey, it’s a V8 stick shift, and it’s an SLC. Sure, might as well create a thread for it. 107.023.10.006310 Title says 1974, but I believe it to be a 1973 with a plastic coolant overflow (started in early 1973 models) and a dash clock (ended in late 1973 models) bottle and this information...- 52
