its not broke you need to remove the lower dash panel and then reach up inside and twist the nut back on it. the nut that is on the back will get loose and let the knob spin freely.

Yes, you should press slightly on the fuel pedal before adjusting the idle knob, as it will reduce the tension on the linkage. Am a little curious though, as the idle control knob doesn't usually appear on a turbo engine. Is this a Euro non turbo?

My 79SD is a turbo and it has the idle control knob. I wonder when the transition away from the knob occurred? I used to think it happened with the turbo but apparently not. Why did MB remove it?
