300E issues! plz help me!!!
Hey guys,
Today (night) I just wanted to get all of the help I can... 1989 300E W124 with 187,000 miles Issue #1: When ever I turn the steering wheel, I heard this groaning sound.... not normal! What could it be? Issue #2: Today I was taking a U-turn at a higher speed (20mph) and during the sharp turn, I heard this rather loud squeeking sound... What could it be? Issue #3: When ever I switch gears, I hear this fast but loud metal to metal deep thunk sound, same happens when the automatic trans down shifts, no sound present when upshifting... What could it be? (Flex discs?) Issue #4: My gear knob is rattling alot... I hear this is caused by the shifter bushings wearing out? Which parts do I get and how many of them? Issue #5: Is the gear selector area supposed to be lighted at the PRND32 gear indicators? The panel is dark... if it is lighted.... where is the bulb located? Issue #6: I solved my cold start issues by replacing my OVP, before my car would idle at 500 or less RPM when cold, now it idles at 900 in P and 750 when in D when cold. But when the engine is warm, it still idles at 500 to 600 RPM... is this too low? Could this be the coolant temp sensor? Issue #7: My car still surges a bit when cold, I replace the hose from the idle control valve to the fuel distributor area, how in the world do I replace the other hose??? It seems that I would have to remove the fuel distributor and valve cover! Issue #8: the drivers door, interior panel seems a bit loose around the handle/armrest, area, how can I tighten it up? where exactly do I pry at and open stuff up at to get to inside screws? while it is open, what should of preventive maintainence should be done? Issue #9: I want to clean my Mass Air Flow Meter, where is it located and how do I clean it... I also want to clean my throttle body... Where is it located and how do I clean it? Please respond to at least 1 issue if you got the advice or solution! THANKS! Last edited by Rahulio1989300E; 02-25-2005 at 11:27 PM. |
