Guys,

I never owned a car and just got this Old mercedes-benz because my supervisor said they are built like tanks and run for ever.

I was trying to read here and there and look videos at ************** to find out about this car.

I have gasket manifold sitting in car which I inherited when I bought the car. So I think, he this was meant to solve the problem. Sleepstar, I cannot tell but if it is wheel bearing , can I fix myself?

Also, my car makes loud squealing noise when AC is turned on.
Squealing noise from drive belts - YouTube

I noticed at some of the AC settings I can replicate but at others I cannot. I was told to try to rotate the belt connected to AC compressor , I tried, it moved/slid the belt a little bit but don't think it moved the compressor. The AC seemed to have worked before , took some time to cool down but not to extent to make it cold. Middle vents lack power, only side vents seems to have air pressure.
The Belts in engine compartment going to the engine, have vert light cracks so not sure, if they need urgent attention or should be replaced soon.

Also, my central UNLocking sometimes doesn't work. I noticed that the Y rubber hose going between I think green and yellow plastic like things have slight cracks( i think it was written 3339/2 on the rubber hose).


I just got the air filter, oil and oil filter change. I asked about the lubrication of AC compressor to mechanic and freon in it, and any way to find out if we need to take care of this. The mechanic said no way without opening the car.


I don't have much option but to drive the car with these issues as I have to commute to work but would like to take care of it so that it can last forever like you folk's car.

I have not washed the car yet and if there any do/don't need to be done , please guide. I have noticed slight rust here and there. I have wd40 can here for my bike to remove rust. can I use that and any particular way to clean rust.

Any guidance/ pointer to thread to clean the car and maintain will be appreciated.

Sorry for bombarding with questions.

Thank you again for guiding me.
