The VCV for the 1987 300D is clinched, making it difficult to repair, if it is possible at all. You can try two things:

- Spray brake cleaner (or similar) through it (after you have removed it from the engine) so that dirt is flushed out (be careful, brake cleaner is highly flammable). This only works if the VCV is dirty.

- Drill out the clinches and try to repair. You need bolts or new clinches to close it afterwards. I don't know if the VCV can be repaired, but you can try.
