With pictures. Both are taken from the top of the engine from the left side.

Air Conditioner Compressor Wiring

My AC went out in my '81 300TD (again). This time it looks like an easy fix since the wires came off the connectors. The connector itself is a goner, but the wires and the terminals are OK. Which...

My (good) experience with the Superior Shift Kit (W123 300TD))

I got my '81 W123 300TD back from a vacuum rebuild and a big bad 2-3 FLARE. At least the 1-2 clunk was gone though. After reading a bunch of great stuff here, I decided to try the Superior Shift Kit....

SlS Sag - Springs?

On my '81 300TD, the SLS seems to function fine when the engine is running. I.e., it rides perfectly level whether the rear is empty, full, or pulling a trailer. I replaced the accumulators 3-4 years...

I agree. I had 205s on my W123 wagon for awhile. The 195s are the best. It doesn't handle as sportily as my W210 wagon. Nor should it.
