Is do have to say this, with Bridgestone weather force tires that w126 was one of the best snow cars I've ever driven. It had no trouble starting even when it dipped below ten degrees.
Isn't your ccu basically the monovalve, for heating purposes? I just put one in my 126 and it didn't help much.
Plus I need to check out the radio in my 126 which seems dead. Can't find the second fuse in that thing to get it to work.
