Replacement Hood Hinge for 1982 300TD?
I'm brand new to the forum, so please forgive me if I missed the answer posted elsewhere but....I just purchased this wagon recently and one of othe first things I need to replace is an inoperable left hood hinge. Local mechanic wants $411 to replace it. While I know i'll need him for replacing engine mounts and such, this sounds like something I could handle and probably for less? Also is $550 a fair price for replacing both "rear accumulators"? thanks!

On the hood, if you have at least one other (strong) set of hands available to assist, you can replace the hinge yourself. I can't comment on the price as I don't know what the hinges go for new. I am not an expert on the accumulators (I have a wagon but haven't had to do that job yet), but if $550 is parts and labour then it's probably a decent price for a shop to do the work. Again, if you want a bit of adventure you can replace the accumulators yourself. Click on the "buy parts' button at the top of the page and look up your car or try part # W0133-1610399 Use the search engine in the diesel discussion forum to read posts from others talking about these jobs.

I have the driver side hinge for a w123. Some guy asked for it and then flaked out.
It's blue if that matters. I can try and dig it up if you interested 15-20 usd via paypal |

Replacing motor mounts is pretty simple too. If you can replace a hood hinge you can do the mounts.
