QuickJack interferes with E320CDI belly pans

So I bought a QuickJack 5000TL during Costco’s recent sale: saved $300, hurray. Now I’m looking at one of the frames, not yet assembled, sitting next to my 2005 E320CDI. Two problems spring out:

The later steering wheel may not fit because of changes in the electrical connections. I had that same issue finding a better steering wheel for my ‘95. Unfortunately, I don’t remember the date of...

If the lamp failure unit has burned strips in it, you pretty much have to replace the unit. A good used one is probably the best choice. I had to do that with one of my cars some years ago.

“Low” oil pressure switch

VW put a 1.0 bar (15 psi) oil pressure switch in their TDI engines. I adapted one for my ‘95 E300D. If the oil pressure drops below 1 bar, which it should never do, the switch operates a very bright...

Bio-diesel and cooking oil

Cooking oil is much too expensive to use for making automotive fuel. Not that it can’t be used, but the refiners, like business people anywhere, want to use the least expensive feedstock available. ...

The OVP relay is generally "good" or "dead." Given the age of the car and all, I'd be more inclined to suspect a wiring failure due to the "environmentally friendly" insulation used on wires in those...

AFAIK, both fans run in high or low speed. That may depend on the year of your 124. In my '95 E300D, the fans come on in low speed if it's at all warm outside and the a/c has been running for awhile....
