83/85 Mercedes Question...
Hello, I am new to the forum, I have been making BioDiesel for the local college for a while and decided to invest in the 300TD as a daily driver. I'm sure this is the first of many questions in this forum. So,
Somewhere I have read where someone provided VIN's and another person was able to provide pertinent information on the car. Is there a website for this or does someone have somekind of inside source? If you are out there and you are reading this, and you have a few moments for a fellow vintage mercedes lover, I have to VIN's I would like to know about. WDBAB33COFA24171-85 dream ride-my new daily driver WDBCB20AODB050014-83-(little rough but had to buy as a package deal) Thanks for any insights you might have...

Really?
In JimmyL 's absence, I'm going to ask:
Are you sure these are 300TDs? Could theses cars maybe be 300Ds with a turbo? 300D = 4 door sedan 300TD = touring diesel; wagon; 4 doors plus 1 hatch And then there are 300SD 300SDL Etc.

Doesn't seem that either is a TD. AB33 is a W123 300D sedan, CB20 is a W126 300SD sedan.
The first VIN is missing a digit or character. If the second VIN is WDBCB20A0DB050014, because there are no letters O or Q in US VINs, then here is the basic datacard info: VEHICLE TYPE: Car MODEL NAME: 300 SD USA ENGINE: 617951 12 050188 TRANSMISSION: 722303 02 382529 BODY: 10470 ORDER NUMBER: 0370552806 LIGHTS: BOSCH INTERIOR COLOR: 252 [sixto - dark blue leather] PAINTS: 735 [sixto - astral silver] 440 TEMPOMAT (CRUISE CONTROL) 461 INSTRUMENT WITH MILES IND. AND ENGLISH LEGEND 519 REAR AUDIO SYSTEM 524 PAINTWORK - PRESERVATION 531 AUTOMATIC ANTENNA 543 SUN VISOR WITH MAKE-UP MIRROR L. AND R., BE- 570 FOLDING ARMREST, FRONT 592 ALL-ROUND WD-GREEN GLASS,HEATED REAR WINDOW-VSG 611 EXIT LIGHTS FOR DRIVER DOORS 640 15-HOLE LIGHT ALLOY RIMS 668 PACKAGING FOR SHIPPING VEHICLES WITH TIE-DOWN HOOK 673 HIGH-CAPACITY BATTERY 803 AEJ 06/1/M/X Doesn't list sunroof but I've never seen a 126 SD without a sunroof. Sixto 87 300D^2

My First Issue has risen... coming home the 300 D ran a little warm. just a tad above 80. the oil looks as if it needs changed, ext water reservoir looks good.
I found what appears to be "Mud Dobber" (sp?) nests between the radiator and the ac condenser, I can use a brush to get the nest, but can I try to pour a little water between the two coils to try to get the mud out of the coils?
