'96 E300D Climate Control Issues

I'm hoping someone here can help me out. The AC quit on my '96 E300D a while ago so I took it in to an independent AC shop and had it checked out. They said the compressor/clutch was seized up so I...

Wink The Overrunning Clutch Alternator Pulley is the Answer!

I have been replacing belt tensioner shocks about every 30k miles or about two years on my '96 & '97 E300Ds due to vibration rattles. So I too just researched the matter on the internet and...

S35 & S35/1

The switches are "micro type" switches integrated into S35 & S35/1 as shown on your attached diagram and they come attached to the vacuum flap assembly. I don't believe you can purchase them...

The W210 has complicated computer and communications systems so pulling fuses to find the problem, as one could do on older cars, generally doesn't always result in problem discovery. The car's...

I'm not sure I understand the issue you point out with the exhaust. However, the "fuel pump" in the middle of your second picture isn't a fuel pump at all but it is a fuel heat exchanger to preheat...

What about LCA Bushings?

Sounds like lower control arm (LCA) bushings to me. There shouldn't be any noticeable flex in the LCA if you take a pry bar to the joint in the perpendicular direction to the LCA bushing bolt. If...

I'm Afraid to Admit This on this Forum ..... But

I had the same coolant leak problem you describe on my 1996 E300D with over 250k miles on the odometer. The engine runs great and I really didn't want to open it up just for the leak and risk it not...

1996 E300D Power Steering Pump Replacement

The power steering pump was going bad on the '96 E300D .... moaning, groaning, & lack of power assist at low speeds. After almost 300k miles I guess it is ok that it was in need of retirement. So I...

Another Suggestion

I'd also suggest checking the transmission mount. When the rubber in the mount tears or separates the "fast" 1 to 2nd shift and the downshift when decelerating can create a loose knocking, or slop,...

A Heads Up to W210 E300D Owners!

Ever since I purchased my '96 E300D about 5 years ago it has always been a step or two behind my '97 E300D and I just figured the newer transmission in the '97 was the difference. Over the past few...
