I have a 1985 230 TE (estate) and am told it should have manual or auto levelling rear suspension. The back end is sagging a bit - how can I tell if it should be self levelling or how do I do it manually?? Thanks for any ideas...

There is a height control valve on it that can be replaced. I think www.thebenzbin.com has it. Being a hydraulic device designed to carry 1540 pound load it is probably spent. It might be able to be rebuilt.

    I'm planning on doing an MMO soak to see if it will help the smoke coming out of my crankcase. There was no blowby when she was parked two years ago. My understanding is that could be a stuck piston ring which is the primary use case for MMO. I'm taking my Jeep to Moab for a week and a half...

    W123 E,CE,D,CD,TD,TE Class
    How did I come to be the owner of this 1985 300CD? Having owned a W201, 2 W124s and a W126 300SD I had read and heard so much about the W123 cars that I knew this would be the next Benz for me.
