Way to Go!!!

Thanks for saving yet another 300SDL and welcome to the forum. These 300SDLs are starting to become rare. The car looks like a beautiful one. What color is the interior? Is the exterior metallic silver?

Now, get the shop vacuum out and clean all those leaves out from under the hood --- take out the battery and battery tray and clean under there; both hood hinge "pocket" areas; and especially the area between the brake fluid reservoir and the fusepanel. You want to get EVERY leave or other old dried up piece of material out of those areas.

I noticed the aux. plug at the passenger side corner of the front bumper. Is this some type of block heater? If you have any questions about your car, just do a search and if you don't find the answer, post the question.

How does the air filter look? Primary fuel filter?
