JUST ARRIVED! German-made diesel fuel injector nozzles are back! CLICK HERE to order.
Good used cover as shown. No breaks along the outer edge. Good gasket and thumb screws. Fuse box chart inside is for a diesel model. Getting very hard to find them this nice anymore. Most are chipped or cracked due to rough handling.
Good ground cable as shown. Even includes good tightening bolt.
Set of good working switches for your 300TD wagon. Wood is not the best but could be used if yours is worse. Some cracks in the clear coat and a couple chips as shown.
This potentiometer for controlling the dash lights was recently removed from a 300D. It is obvious from the condition that it is a recent replacement. It feels like new and has excellent spring and rod movement and no corrosion. If you're looking for super-smooth rotation, this has it.
A 12 volt test light is a very handy tool to have when working on any car but it is particularly important if you have a old diesel. This tool will allow you to quickly determine if there is power getting to your glow plugs, and if not where the power is breaking down.
When replacing the steering lock assembly in your Benz you will need to remove that little black plastic switch on the side of the lock from the old one and put it on the new part. You can not pry it off, squeeze it off or pull it off by hand.
Tired of lugging around heavy batteries or battery boosters to test electrical components in your car? It does not have to be a Mercedes. It does not even have to be a car. Anything that runs off 12 volt DC power can be tested by these small, light weight but very powerful batteries.
If your rear door power window is not moving or the motor is not making any noise, it could be a failed motor, rear door switch, front switch or even a wiring problem. Trying to narrow down the problem can be frustrating unless you know the proper troubleshooting sequence.
If your engine temperature gauge is not reading at all, you need to fix it before you keep driving the car. To ignore this could lead to major engine failure, since you will have no way to get an adequate warning that your engine is about to overheat.
This is another small "frustration" for W123 diesel owners. The fuse box cover is mounted flat to the firewall behind and to the left of the brake booster. You can not just pull it straight out nor can you just push it straight back on.
Works on most 116, early 107, 114, 115 and early 123 models from the early 70s up to the end of the 1970s. This is a replacement for the Bosch rectangular voltage regulator (see image below) those cars that use an internal voltage regulator.
Buy a spare to carry in your trunk! FITS THE FOLLOWING: Late 107 and 116, 123, 126 up through 1991 and 201 and 124 chassis to through 1989. ALSO FITS 1990-1993 300D 2.5 AND 92-93 190E 2.6 ONLY!
Looking for better-staring performance? Are your glow system lights not coming on on your dash even after replacing the glow plugs? It it taking way too long for the glow light to go out ( it should only be on 5 to 10 seconds)?
50 amp fuses were used on most 123 240D diesel glow plug systems due to the lower amp draw. 80 amp fuses will also work but some may choose to go with original spec. Check the number on the center of the fuse you are currently using. It should read either 50 or 80.
Fits chassis 116 123 126 124 and 201 Diesels with pencil glow plugs, from 1978 to 1989. This includes the OM617, OM601, OM602, and OM603 engines. They also work on 1977 to 1979 300D 300CD and 300TD with series glow plugs. This pack includes three individual fuses.

This is another small "frustration" for W123 diesel owners. The diesel requires a big and heavy battery that is not as easy to remove and replace as you would think. If you are not careful, you can tweak your lower back lifting one out of the car.
An annoying problem on many older Mercedes up to 1980 that have an aluminum housing surrounding the turn signal arm latching assembly. When these wear out the lever will not hold position when you push it up or down.
To many people, automotive electrical systems and testing are a big mystery. It is not as complicated as you might think.
When an old Mercedes ( or any other car for that matter ) has sat idle for over a year it can be a challenge to get it safely back on the road again. If it has sat idle for more than 5 years you may find it difficult to even get the engine running.
Malfunctioning and failed power window regulators (mechanisms) are so common on older Mercedes that Kent can almost guarantee if you own one and drive it regularly you will have to fix one at some point.
Do you need a way to power up some 12-volt accessories in your old Benz and don't want to use the factory fuse box?
You will build this yourself from the components and instructions included.
GOOD USED glow plug wire harness as shown. Only for late 240D with pencil glow plugs.
These original masts are NLA, and this is from Kent's 20 year old stock and was only used a few months. No damage. super smooth operation and super straight. The TOOTHED tail was used on some antennas from 1983-84 up until the early to mid 1990s.
These original masts are NLA and this is from old stock Kent has had in storage for 25 years.. The smooth tail was used on antennas from the mid 1970's up until around 1983-1985.
PLEASE READ CAREFULLY BEFORE ORDERING!
VERY limited stock. These are the exact fuses you will receive.
HUse this wiring adapter Kent designed to connect to one of the fuse posts in your fuse box to give you a "keyed" on-and-off power source for an electrical component you wish to install. The video below will give you more details.
FITS 1981 to 1985 5-cylinder W123 engines ONLY. Not "perfect" but above average used condition.
Good working parts as shown. Oil pressure unit has been REMOVED. PARTS ONLY.
The power window is stuck closed. Do the tests outlined in this video first. You may have to remove the regulator and to do that; you have to lower the window. But how???
This is part 8 of Kent's 8-part video series on servicing and repairing the power sunroofs on the 1980 to 1985 W123, W126, and W201.
This is part 7 of Kent's 8-part video series on servicing and repairing the power sunroofs on the 1980 to 1985 W123, W126, and W201. This video will cover ONLY those issues related to the sunroof round motor drive assembly.
These will no longer be printed when these are gone. They will still be available as a download. All books are signed by Kent. This is an end of an era for us. Most books are approximately 15 pages in length and covered with heavy clear plastic.
This is an excellent replacement if yours has melted and deformed.
The leads are black and red and three feet in length. The alligator clips can be removed to give you other options on how you use them.
Often rotten and torn. Replace with new when working on your fuel delivery system. PLEASE NOTE: These are included when you purchase any of our fuel pump delivery kits.
In this 10 minute instructional video Kent will explain why you want to "jump" your K-jet fuel pump relay, how to do it, how to find the location in you car, and why he prefers to have a long "switchable" jumper.
Is your old gas engine running a little rough? There could be lots of reasons for this but if you have good compression, good plugs and wires you might consider replacing your O2 sensor even if your warning light is not showing up. This is an easy DIY job.
This is a part that hardly ever gets changed, and it is an easy DIY job if you can access it under your Benz. Make sure your model fits those described and has an O2 sensor installed. You can confirm that by the existence of an o2 sensor warning light on your dash.
I think well over half of all W123 wagon rear hatch wiper assemblies are either stuck, broken, inoperative, noisy or just won't part properly. The main reason for all these failures is lack of service ( ie lubrication ). It just never gets done.
Hard to find this good used. ONLY ONE AVAILABLE. Very smooth key operation. Lock inspected, cleaned, and lubed with our secret grease. New tumbler with 2 new keys. New electrical switch installed. If you need instructions or need to get your old stuck lock out, a video is available to purchase.
This is a quality aftermarket part and an excellent alternative to a used one. New O.E. are no longer available.
You do not need a $100 plus multimeter to test most automotive electrical components. But you do need one that is very accurate and easy to read. This is especially true when testing D-jetronic and K-Jetronic fuel injection.
To many people, automotive electrical systems and testing are a big mystery. It is not as complicated as you might think.
This 17-minute video will cover the removal of an old Hirschmann power antenna and then Kent will show you how to troubleshoot the wiring plug in the car to see if you are getting proper power back to the antenna. No sense in replacing a faulty antenna until you make sure your wiring is OK!
In this xx-minute long video, Kent will show you how to install our aftermarket power antenna in your 116, 123, or 123 sedan or coupe. Removal of your old antenna is not covered in this on-demand video but it is very straightforward once you remove the inner fender well panel.
