DID TUNE-UP 85 300D Turbo, Received a list of repairs - Need Help Prioritizing
This is a list of all the repairs needed for the car according to an assessment given after a tune-up was performed at MB Manhattan. The car is currently at the dealer and they're waiting for me to decide what to do next. I was thinking of just getting an alignment and going somewhere else for any other repairs. I'm obviously not a DIYer however out of necessity I may become one. So what do you think is priority and needs to be done by a mechanic and what can be done by a really green DIYer? I would have checked the forum for loads of fixes however I have to make a decision in the morning, they've had my car since last Thursday.
The ones with asterisks were deemed safety concerns, four asterisks were mandatory maintenance. The car has very slow pick up in traffic and vibrates however it runs well on the highway. I'd like to take it to Premier Auto (Vito?) in Staten Island, however the number listed in the forum no longer works. ![]() coolant flush idler arm repair * steering shock * lower ball joints & upper * left / right tie rods - turns both front wheels * center link * break strut bushing * both flex disc * parking brake adjusted* (loose) fuel lines alignment engine mounts (2x) * engine vibration damper (2x) * transmission mount - one is worn out * left front window motor & regulator left window switch all drive belts (worn and cracking) -**** three air cleaner mounts need replacing (holds filter over the engine) throttle stepper motor two brake calibers * Thanks for your help. |
