Normal operating Temp is about 87C
where is vaccum pump for 300sl and how do you check it
I think its a Mercedes 300sl gullwing
The most recognized- is the 1955 Mercedes-Benz 300sl "Gullwing"
The soft top of the 300SL ( W129) is operated by a control unit, not by relays. If you want a can tray find a localization picture of the control unit for the soft top
The 1954 Mercedes Benz 300SL Gullwing is considered by many as the worlds first supercar.
The 129R with the 6 cylinder engine - the 300SL - has a timing chain. Please note also that Mercedes Benz makes a modified tensioner(s) to correct a problem with the chain rubbing on the cover.
egr valve bad.
The fastest car production in 1950-1959 was the Jaguar D type at 172.8mph. Second is the Mercedes Benz 300sl at 161mph.
"My earliest memory of a car is a Jaguar XK120 racing a Mercedes-Benz 300SL", he once said. So i guess it might have been one of those cars.
I have a 1993 300sl and the battery is in the trunk on the passenger side. There is a knob that has to be twisted out and the wll of the trunk should pop out revealing a car battery. Its not that hard. Hope this helps.

The '91 used R-12. You need to buy the converters from Mercedes because the universal connectors are usually too small. The Mercedes converters are cheap. You can gety them from any Mercedes dealership. Make sure you vac out the system before you add R-134. Another good idea is to change the dryer and expansion valve before recharging the system.
