Hmm

I own a W115 Ant, and they are fun to work on if you don't mind getting dirty.

I personally hate replacing belts. I have a mechanic who does it cheap, so I tend to bring it to him.

The oil filter is the canister under the area roughly where the injection pump is. Note: You will get dirty, and it will be black black oil.

I'd replace your four plugs with four new Bosch OEM plugs. I'd advise against upgrading to the new type, unless you also buy the relay; some may not agree with me, but the new pencil type plugs draw a lot more current, and the stock relay in my 300D would not handle it. If you want your dash light and original arrangement to work as it came from the factory, buy the OEM plugs.

Feel free to PM me with any W115 related questions.

Regards,
Kyle
