Yes, this really can happen. The transmission modulator ruptures and vacuum system system draws out trans fluid into engine oil thru vacuum pump into engine crankcase. Been there, done that. I replaced the modulator valve and dropped engine oil.

First you need to remove the steering wheeel. 2 remove the hazard switch screw, remove the 3 screws holding the turn signal switch, you need to remove the plastic cover below the drivers side to get access to the wires for the turn signal switch unplug the wires for the turn signal switch slide the turn signal switch up no need to remove if. 3 you can get a tool from a parts store to compress the black metal cover it does have a plastic cover over the metal,the tool will screw onto the column then tighten the top of the tool down and this will compress the spring below the black cover, with a couple of small screw drivers you can remove the metal clip that holds the black cover down, with clip removed loosen up the tool remove the tool the clip and the blcck cover. 4 there is a torx screw that holds the lock assm.in remove the screw and the lock assm. will pull out

On my 87 there is a printed paper right under the fuse cover lid.

300 is a diesel

'87 M103 engine 300E. There is one sensor up front with a three pronged plug and there is one up back of the engine compartment under the oil filter. Just look for the head of the hex screw. Bit misleading because they are both referred to as crankshaft sensors or at least they were to me. Sorry I cannot give you more details but will clean this answer up a bit tomorrow with part nrs. etc.

We Have 2 CLK's the CLK 220 CDI Coupe AMG sports & the CLK 230 avantgarde Kompressor convertible. Both drive well and are comfortable. Both have been reliable and easy to drive. The coupe returns an average of 40mpg and the 230 around 30mpg. Tyres are expensive as low profiles. Fog lamps get damaged easily and are expensive to repair. My wife's 230 has had the wing mirror hit and again parts are expensive. We would both say we would not drive anything else as we love these cars.

Let me add, I am the owner of a 2001 CLK 320 convertible and I love my car. The rule is "If it isn't raining, the top is down." I really enjoy the CLK. Of course a 2001 model doesn't come with Bluetooth or some of the other more modern audio accessories, but it comes with a great radio and speaker system, fully automatic windows (including using your key) and leather interior. So, it's 11 years old, they wouldn't give me a loan on it because it is too old and they are too hung-up, but it is mine now and I love it.

My 82 Mercedes continues to run after I turn it off with the key. I was told I needed to replace one or both of the shut off valve. What is the procedure to do that?

You should use Premium. It should say that on the dash by the gas gauge. My 1990 300e does. Hope this helps.

I have never had a problem with Regular gas instead of Premium in my 87 300E. As long as you have a good strong spark and clean fuel injectors. I would recommend "Bosch Platinum +2 Spark Plugs" they have twice the spark so you will feel the power increase after you replace your pugs.

A "Bonnet" is the British equivalent of a "hood". There are several differences between American and British automotive terms. Other translations include "boot" which we Americans call a "trunk", "propshaft" which we call "drive shaft", "drive shaft" which we call "axle", and "spanner" which we call a "wrench"

Technically, a diesel engine does not need any outside electrical source to keep it running. Injectors are mechanical and keep running until they are forced off, usually by a solenoid. Check the shutoff mechanism to make sure it isn't sticking. This diesel shuts off using vacuum. If your vacuum is low or leaking, the vehicle will not shut off using the key. You have to open the hood and push the SHUT OFF plate near the top of the engine in the fuel linkage. Vacuum leaks are common and will keep the door locks, climate control, and engine shut off from working. The shut off valve, located on the back of the injection pump, can fail. It is vacuum operated and the diaphragm can tear. Vacuum test this valve. If it holds vacuum keep looking for other vacuum leaks, if it leaks replace it.

The term "strut" applies to more than just wheels. A strut is a brace connected at each end, which acts to restrain, or control, the movement of anything. The best example that almost everyone has seen, at least in photographs, is wing struts on an airplane. The struts are the long "bars" that connect from the underside of a top [or high] mounted wing, to the lower edge of the fuselage. This forms a mechanical triangle which reinforces the wing and prevents "flapping" tendencies [bending] of the wing. On bi-planes, the bars [both vertical and angular] are also struts. On most vehicles, a wheel strut connects from a wheel suspension member to the frame or body to restrict the movement of the suspension assembly, which improves control and "rideability." In many late model vehicles, a strut for the front wheel suspension consists of combining a coil spring AND a shock absorber into a single component which is connected from the top of each front wheel to the unibody "frame" in a vertical "tower" which is a part of the unibody.

Try looking for air in the fuel line - that's the problem with mine. Unfortunately stopping air from getting in is the tricky bit. If you're lucky it's the fuel filter, if not you need to check / replace the sections of line.

Your mb is starting and shutting off after just about a second right? The problem is your fuel distributor. You cannot repair them coz it is a precision mechanical device that is very accurately calibrated to decimal tolerances, besides, it has a sensitive rubber-silicone diaphragm in sandwich between the four spring loaded atmospheric pressure balancers inside that small unit. Buy a new one.-rogue1man@yahoo.com

There is an adjuster on the power steering pump. One cannot adjust it as it has an automatic tensioner if the belt is squeaking it is time to replace belt/tensioner or both
