Hey Scott- I've sold my 380 sl, but had similar problems with it. Once fixed it was great. If you're having idle problems check the idle control switch. There should be a black two prong plug wire...

Everything underneath is rivited to the valve cover itself. Why do you need those parts, whatever they are?

Desert- I'm guessing, but if it was imported from Germany on the grey market, it's probably been added, although I don't know how they'd do that so it looks stock. The 4 years that I lived in Germany...

I wasn't very clear on that, but mine goes to max when the ignition is turned on before the engine starts. So I'm guessing that it's the sending unit?

Wow! Very good response Deltacom, thanks. It certainly intimidated me. I'd been thinking maybe I'd try that on my car, but now I'm certain that I won't.

Craig- Love the wheels, but you have a wiring mess on your hands. If you can fix it you're my latest hero. The 600's are interesting cars, but what a challenge. Ned

Rag- I got tired of messing with mine and bought a rebuilt unit, along with a new valve. Pricey, but works fine. It was way too frustrating messing with that thing. Ned

Wait! I'm interested, even though my car is much older. Let us know how it goes. I think most of the others have older cars too, mostly 107's, hence the lack of acknowledging posts. Ned
