When Mercedes introduced their small 3.5 liter V8 in 1970 it was hailed as a technological breakthrough in automotive engine design. That same basic design was produced for over 20 years right up into the early 1990's.
Fix your non-tilting sunroof yourself! We have the manuals and repair kits available to get that faulty sunroof working like new again. Problems can range from burned out motors, stripped gears, damaged cables, missing or damaged slides, poor lubrication, to faulty adjustment.
WARNING: As time passes we are seeing more and more ignition lock failures on 123 and early 126, 201 and 124 chassis models. If the tumblers in the lock fail you can find yourself stranded and it can be expensive to get the car towed and the lock replaced. If you change it before it fails it can be inexpensive and relatively easy to replace.
Let Kent explain how his solutions finder works: "Just select the location of the problem you are experiencing, the chassis designation of your car and a few key words and click Search. If I have written a description of the problem or one related to it, it will show up on the results page. The causes of the problem will be explained and all possible solutions we offer to diagnose and fix it will be listed.
You can learn a lot about your Mercedes by just browsing through all the problem descriptions I have written related to your model. My new solutions finder replaces our old benz aid forum and tech help page. Even if you have never work on your car before it is never too late to start. With the right knowledge, tools and parts you can do it.
If you can not find your problem listed for your chassis then it has not yet been written. I am working on and adding new problem descriptions weekly. I will be adding more content on the W140, W202, W210, and W220 chassis later this year. If you have a problem that has not been addressed, send it to me as a COMMENT through our contact page describing your particular problem. I will not be able to answer these requests directly, but I will add it to my list of problems to work on....the list is not getting smaller. :-)
There is nothing quite like the feeling you get when you can find and fix a mechanical problem yourself,
Kent Bergsma
