Product Description:

keep your hands clean?
This kit will fit all Human Hands
Russell's Review of
the Nitrile Mechanics Gloves :
These gloves are fantastic! I use LOTS of
these working on any car repair or project. If you are sick and
tired of getting black oil, grease, dirt or any other yuck on your
hands, then these are a must have in your tool box. I have used
Nitrile gloves for years. Superior to Latex gloves especially if
you are alergic to latex. Powder free, thick enough not to tear
and thin enough to handle even the smallest nut or bolt you may want to
hold. I use them everyday and my hands thank me!
One size fits all.

Basic Diesel Purge Kit
Price: $47.50
S&H:
Free
Don't forget to order the DVD on performing
the diesel purge.
|
Product Description:
This is the strong medicine for sick
diesels! Are you experiencing sluggish performance, injector nailing, hard starting, poor fuel
economy, lots of smoke, shaking, etc, then I would try this product first.
Clears injector nozzles in minutes. This is by far the best way to get your diesel off to
a good start. This product is made in Germany, and is designed specifically
for diesel engines only. The product is designed to be used
directly into the engine, NOT the fuel tank. You will
experience cleaner injectors, injection pumps, pre-chambers, and all associated fuel system components. This kit can be used on all
diesel engines in the following chassis models 110, 115, 116, 123, 124,
126, 201.
Russell's Review of the Basic Diesel
Purge Kit:
The purge procedure is
very simple to use, and I have seen it perform near miracles in in many
cars I have used it in. I recommend doing a purge on older Mercedes 2 times per year as part of
your preventative maintenance. Obviously it won't cure
mechanically damaged or worn engines, but I always do a purge first,
then assess the condition of the engine after. I just did a purge
on my '79 300D that had only been driven about 6k miles per
year. After a few minutes, the actual engine sound had changed,
and was much quieter. I have more power to boot. Believe
me, on a 300D with NO turbo, you need all the help you can get.
The Basic Diesel Purge Kit Includes:
- Two (2) cans of the Liqui Moly
- Full step-by-step with pictorials at Diesel
Purge
- Free Phone and email support with me
NOTE:
I
always recommend replacing BOTH fuel filters after you do a purge. |

ordering the Basic Kit and Fuel Filter Kit separately!

VW TDI Purge Kit
 Price: $79.50
S&H:
$Free
|
Product Description:
To make it easy on you and save
you time and money, I put together the Deluxe Diesel Purge Kit.
It contains everything you need not only to do the purge, but
has both fuel filters to boot. Since the diesel purge will clean
the sludge and carbon out of the injection pump, nozzles, fuel
lines and fuel filters, it is always smart to replace BOTH of your
fuel filters immediately after doing a purge. This kit can be used on all
diesel engines in the following chassis models 110, 115, 116, 123, 124,
126, 201, 210.
This Kit includes
ALL the items available in the Basic Diesel Purge kit PLUS:

Russell's Review of the Deluxe Diesel
Purge Kit:
I think this kit is a great value! I have
taken the time to include and package everything you need in one
simple package. No need to run to the auto parts store for fuel
hose, finding a proper juice bottle or separately ordering fuel
filters. There is nothing like letting an expert do it
"all" for you. This kit is a "no brainer"
for saving money and time. This is the exact same kit that I use
in my shop to do purges.

- Two (2) cans of the Liqui Moly

Liqui Moly Diesel High Test
Price: $29.75
S&H: $Free
|
Product Description:
Unlike the Diesel Purge
that is designed to be introduced directly into the engine, this is the
product that you put into the fuel tank as a lubrication to reduce
wear of fuel pump, extend engine life, improve engine performance and
emissions control and prevent rust and contamination in the tank, pipes
and injections system. Diesel High Test now contains a
lubricity additive against excessive fuel pump and injector wear with
low sulphur diesel fuels. Regular use will provide the best
benefits. This product can be used on all
diesel engines.
Russell's Review of Diesel High
Test:
This is a great product I
recommend that you can put in your Mercedes fuel tank for lubricity
due to low sulphur fuels. It is NOT a cleaner like the BG 44k
and has a different use. Liqui Moly has great products and recommend it to
all my customers as part of their preventative maintenance program.
This Package Includes:
- Two(2) cans of Diesel High Test
|
BG 44K Injection Cleaner
 Price:
$49.00
S&H: $Free
|
Product Description:
Unlike the Diesel Purge
that is designed to be introduced directly into the engine, this is the
product that you put into the fuel tank. BG 44k is not
sold in retail stores and is only available to large new car dealerships
and repair centers. Rapidly removes harmful upper engine
deposits. Reduces surging, stalling, stumble, hesitation and power
loss. This is a great product to use AFTER you do a diesel
purge. Regular use will keep your upper engine cleaner, and
will make the Diesel Purge you do every 6 months, much more effective.
This product can be used on all
diesel engines. Yes I use this product in my
personal diesel vehicles!
Russell's Review of BG 44K:
I have used this product
on many Mercedes diesels I have had in the shop, and it works
great! I normally recommend using one can in the fuel tank at
every oil change or 3k miles. You will be amazed at how it will
keep the engine running great! This is the ONLY product I
recommend you put in your Mercedes fuel tank for cleaning the fuel
system. YES, it has a different use than Lubro Moly "High Test". I have been using
this product for years with outstanding results, and recommend it to
all my customers as part of their preventative maintenance program.
This Package Includes:

Injector Return Line Kit
Price:
$28.99
S&H: $2.00
Don't forget to order the DVD
on injector return line replacement.
|
Product Description:
Replace
those old leaking, brittle and cracked diesel injection return
lines with my exact fit kit. If you smell diesel fuel or notice
that your lines appear wet or brittle, you need to replace them
now! These are the correct metric, made in Germany, black cloth
braided return lines that your car came with from the factory. Not
some cheap made in China parts store junk. The lines are the
proper inside diameter to fit snugly on the injector tips, and the
proper outside diameter to fit the injector tip cut out in each
injector. These lines fit and look proper.
This kit can be used on all
diesel engines in the following chassis models 116, 123, 124, and 126.
Russell's Review
of the Injector Return Line Kit :
This
is a very simple do-it-yourself project. I have replaced countless
numbers of injector return lines with my exact fit kit. The bottom
line is, rubber fuel lines don't last more than a few years in an engine
compartment, before they loose their elasticity. I like to think
of this as an every 2 year preventative maintenance item.
This
Injector Return Line Kit Includes:
If
you have a 6 cylinder engine and need extra line just let me know its only
$1 extra.

Russell's Review
of the Fuel Hose Replacement Kit :
This
is a very simple do-it-yourself project. Change those hard brittle
hoses. You get the correct "cigar" return hose, the
"fitted fuel hose" that screws into the fuel tank, supply
hose, and enough return hose to replace the other one at the
tank.

-
(1)

124, 126, 201, body cars from 1977-1997. Please give year, make

Russell's Review of
the Fuel Tank Screen :
This screen is designed to stop the muck
from getting out of the tank. They do clog up and restrict fuel
flow. If your are still riding on the original screen, then change
it out at the same time your install your fuel hose replacement
kit. Its easy to do!

Turbo
Diesel Rack Damper Bolt
 Price:
$73.00
S&H: $3.50
|
Product Description:
Is your engine rocking and shaking
like a paint shaker? Can't figure out why? This is the
little culprit. This part can be used on all
diesel 617 engines to 1985. Please give year, make model and VIN
# when ordering so we get you the proper kit.
Russell's Review of the
Turbo Rack Damper Bolt :
That rocking side to side and shaking is
often related to a worn rack damper bolt. The factory units had
weak springs. This is a genuine Bosch upgrade with a much strong
spring to stop the shakes. This bolt is supposed to dampen the
internal fuel rack in the injection pump like a small shock absorber,
but if the spring is worn out it just can't handle the job. Don't
settle for any other brand but genuine Bosch!
The Diesel Turbo Rack
Damper Bolt includes:
|
Cigar Hose
Price:$25.00 S&H: $2.50

Product Description:
That funny looking hose running from your

forever, so if it is not soft or is leaking, replace it This part can be used on chassis models
115, 116, 123, 126. Please give year, make model and VIN
# when ordering so we get you the proper kit.
Russell's Review of the
Cigar Hose:
Don't try to smoke this cigar!
Mercedes designed a special hose to dampen the injection pulses, and
called it the cigar hose. They must have a sense of humor.
If its hard, leaking or several years old, then replace it. Takes
less than 2 minutes.
The Cigar Hose includes:

Russell's Review of the
Bosio Injector Nozzles:
A super high quality Italian made nozzle
especially designed for the Mercedes diesel. I just installed a
set on an engine that had 217k on the clock. The result was simply
amazing. Very little smoke at idle, NO smoke when warm and a super
smooth idle. The throttle response was superb also.
These nozzles are far superior to what Bosch sells now. Breath new
life into your diesel pride and joy with a set of Bosio nozzles.
Look at the pictorial for the installation procedures on the Mercedes
maintenance page. If you have a 6 cylinder then you will
need to order (6) heat shields. If you have a 5 cylinder engine you
will need to order (5) heat shields. If you have a 4 cylinder you will
need to order (4) heat shields.

# when ordering so we get you the proper kit.
Russell's Review of the
Injector Heat Shield:
Just drop these in the threaded hole
before you install the fuel injector. You must use a new heat
shield with each injector removed. If you have a 6 cylinder then you will
need to order (6) nozzles. If you have a 5 cylinder engine you
will need to order (5) nozzles. If you have a 4 cylinder you will
need to order (4) nozzles.

Russell's Review of the
ALDA Boost Switchover Valve:
Don't bypass this valve to try and get

simple to replace. This device is a protection ensuring that you
are not getting over boost which over fuels the engine and can cause
severe damage.

valves due to the low sulfur fuel? This part can be used on chassis models
1986 and later
diesel models only. Please give year, make model and VIN
# when ordering so we get you the proper kit.
1985 and earlier model use only
the copper crush washers.
Russell's Review of the
Injection Pump Seal Kit:
If your MB diesel is starting to leak on the top
of the injection pump where the delivery valve is or at the place where
the fuel lines attach to the pump, then the low sulfur fuel is taking
its toll. The new fuel has less lubrication properties and seems
to allow the seals to fail. Replacing them is not very hard.
Kit comes with the rubber O rings and copper crush washers.
Use my pictorial on how
to do this repair step by step and save about $200 doing it yourself.
The Injection Pump
Seal Kit includes:
-
Six (6)

copper crush washers.

Price: $18.99
S&H: $1.00
|
Product Description:
Replace
those vacuum valve levers to help restore smooth shifting in your turbo
diesel. These are high quality OEM type parts that fit
perfect. Most owners don't even know the levers exist, hence never
replace them. Since they are plastic, they will wear out over
time. They are located on the top of the valve cover, under the
black plastic box with vacuum lines running to it. The levers are
sold as a pair. This kit can be used on all
diesel engines in the following chassis models 123, 126 through 1984 that use the vacuum
levers.
Russell's Review
of the Transmission Vacuum Valve Levers :
This
is a very simple do-it-yourself project. Every 84 and older Turbo
Diesel I have seen, has had worn levers in them. I have replaced
so many for my cars and others, that I decided to do a pictorial on how
to replace them on the Mercedes diesel maintenance tips page.

Russell's Review
of the 3/2 Vacuum Switch :
This
is a very simple do-it-yourself project. Every 84 and older Turbo
Diesel I have seen, has had worn levers in them. If the mounting
ears are cracked or broken, you will have to replace the entire
switch. Most cars have 2 switches piggy backed on the valve

levers.
Russell's Review
of the Rubber Vacuum Manifold Connector :
The
rubber vacuum connector is where the lines plug into the 3/2 switch via
the connector. In the pic it is to the left of my finger. If you
plastic vacuum lines come out easily then you definitely have a vacuum
leak and need to replace it. Easy to do comes with the front and
back side.

air NOT blow out of the center vents very well? This kit can be used on all

levers.
Russell's Review
of the Vacuum Element for Center Vents :
If your
air is NOT blowing out of the two center vents with much force then the
door is only partially open. Leaky vacuum elements will cause this
to occur. Not having this element will cause other problems in the
vacuum system and can cause air to blow at the windshield when not in
defrost mode. Easy to do when your remove the glove box
liner.

lines cracked or missing? This kit can be used on all
diesel engines in the following chassis models most Mercedes models.
Russell's Review
of the Hard Plastic Vacuum Line:
Is your
hard plastic vacuum lines cracked, broken or missing? Replace them
with new line. German made plastic line comes in clear only, but
stopping vacuum leaks is the main priority. These lines run all
over the engine compartment and years of heat, oil fumes and vibration
take their toll on plastic.
This line is NOT the
large diameter line that runs throughout the interior of the car.
The
Hard Plastic Vacuum Line includes:

is located inside the reservoir and is got to be the most neglected
filter on the car. It is very easy to replace and takes less than
5 minutes. This kit can be used on all
diesel engines in the following chassis models 116, 123, 124, 126, 201,
210.

is a very easy do-it-yourself project that should be done 1 time per
year as part of your P.M. program.

Product Description:
Don't let dirty fuel filters destroy your
engine! Clean diesel fuel is the lifeblood of your Mercedes diesel
engine. These high quality German engineered filters are original equipment on
many engines. Both should be changed AFTER you do a
purge. You should change the main spin on filter every 12-15k
miles or once per year. I like to see maintenance conscious
customer change the inline filter every 5k miles or every oil
change. Since you can get lots of sediment and algae in the diesel
fuel tanks, it makes good sense to keep a fresh filter on your pride and
joy. A clogged filter can produce a poor running car with low
power and lots of smoke. Not to mention if any sediment gets into
the injection pump. it can destroy it. This kit can be used on all
diesel engines in the following chassis models 116, 123, 126, up
to and including 1985.
If
your car is 124, 126, 140, 201, 210 AFTER 1985 then order the later models
kit below.
Russell's Review of the Fuel Filter
Kit :
I put this fuel filter kit together specifically for
my diesel customers. Every Mercedes I get to resell or maintain for a
customer, gets 2 fresh fuel
filters installed as a rule. Filters are cheap, engines are
NOT. Keep the inline filters and a screwdriver in the trunk with
you while on trips. Getting bad or dirty fuel will ruin a
fuel filter in a hurry. No sense being stranded out on the road,
when you could just use your spare and be on your way. These are
great quality filters at a great price. I use and Trust these
filters.

Russell's Review
of the A/C Dryer:
This
is one of those items that really improves your A/C system
operation. Over time the Dryer absorbs moisture from the
system. Installing a new dryer, will help return the efficiency of
your A/C system. I decided to do a pictorial on how to replace it
and other A/C components on the Mercedes diesel maintenance tips page.

Russell's Review
of the Expansion Valve:
This
is one of those items that also really improves your A/C system
operation. Over time the expansion valve will start to corrode
internally from the moisture present in the system. In the 123 it
is super easy to replace and well worth the small price. I decided
to do a pictorial on how to replace it, and other A/C components on the
Mercedes diesel maintenance tips page.

Is your current A/C
system not COLD enough? Freeze 12 is a drop in replacement for
R-12. It is non-flammable and contains no CFC's. No EPA
license is needed to use Freeze 12. Lower compressor head pressure
than R-134a and comparable to R-12. You will need to use a
"side can tapper" with the basic kit.

Russell's Review
of the Basic Freeze 12 Refrigerant:
I have
been using this product for several years with excellent results.
If you want really COLD A/C, that blows away R-134a, then you need to
try it. If you have an R-12 system that you were thinking about a
retrofit to 134a, DON'T! Freeze 12 produces much less pressure on
your compressor and it will last much longer. I never liked the
performance of R-134a converted systems, because the condenser is NOT
designed for it. Using Freeze 12 requires no oil or O ring
change. Check out my pictorial on the Mercedes maintenance page
and see how I got 38 degrees at the vent with Freeze 12.

Russell's Review
of the 3 Way Can Tap Master Set:
If you

134a with this set. Side piercing style allows you to use any can

Russell's Review
of the Stop Leak:
While I
am always a fan of repairing the leaks in an A/C system, there is a
product available to those that choose not to or can't. Depending
on the size of the leak it may or may not work, but give it a try.

Product Description:

If you are not
rebuilding your system and just need to top off the oil, then the oil
charge is a great way to get that done.
Russell's Review
of the Oil Charge:
Adding
oil to a system that is already under pressure must be done by an oil
injector or a pressurized can. The oil charge is a safe and
effective way to add 2 ounces of oil to your Freeze 12 charge.
Just add it the same way you would the freeze 12 stop leak or
refrigerant. If you are rebuilding your system and adding a new
dryer or expansion valve I always prefer the BG oil, but this works
great to systems already under pressure.
The
Oil Charge kit contains:

BG Frigi-Quiet II Synthetic Compressor Oil
Price: $42.50
S&H: $Free
|
Product Description:
This item can be used on the following chassis
models, any that use R-12.
BG Frigi-Quiet®II is a
Polyol Ester synthetic base lubricant which is compatible with R-134a,
R-12 and R-22 refrigerants. It is also compatible with both PAG and
mineral base refrigerant oils. BG Frigi-Quiet® II is less than 10
percent as hygroscopic as PAG oils and is not corrosive or harmful to
painted surfaces as the PAG oils are. Formulated with unique anti-wear
ingredients which extend compressor life and provide quieter, smoother
operation. To be used when retrofitting an R-12 system to R-134a or when
oil is required. BG Frigi-Quiet®II contains a fluorescent dye to aid in
the detection of leaks by using a long wave UV light. One bottle
is enough to do one A/C system conversion.
Russell's Review
of the Frigi-Quiet Compressor Oil:
When I
was first approached with this product I was very susceptible. My
good friend who is a BG rep told me to "just give it a
try". Well after I tried it I was sold! On the older
Mercedes, they use the R-4 compressor, which does not have a very good
and reliable record. Not to mention it is very noisy. I can
say that of the conversions I have done, and replaced the oil with the
Frigi-Quiet II, the results are amazing. When the compressor is
running you can't hear it. All you can hear is the clutch engaging
and that is it. Smooth and silent. In fact the last A/C
conversion I did, the customer had to turn off the A/C on the way home
because he said ..."it was too cold" Can you say that
about your A/C?

Russell's Review
of the A/C Temp Switch:
A very
common cause of both the A/C not functioning correctly and the car
running hot with the A/C on. The temp switch is one of two
switches that is on the receiver dryer and is the long narrow sensor the
is mounted horizontal. If this switch is not operating the cooling
fan will not come on to lower the A/C head pressure and could overheat
the car with the A/C on while sitting in traffic.

Russell's Review
of the A/C Pressure Switch:
A very
common cause of A/C compressor failure is the low pressure switch.
This switch is a safety device on the dryer to prevent compressor
operation if the system is low on refrigerant. If your compressor
runs with the system low on refrigerant, then it will destroy it.
So do yourself a favor and replace it when you replace the dryer.

Russell's Review of the Climate Control Servo:
Here is a real Mercedes debacle. This system is plagued with
faults and always ends up failing. The main servo unit located in
the engine compartment on the passenger side, controls the hot water
flow to the heater core. This Upgrade kit is designed to upgrade
the unreliable analog and mechanical climate control system to modern
digital microprocessor technology. This upgrade involves removing the
OEM servo and amplifier. These are replaced with rugged industrial
strength solenoid valves and a proprietary controller module. Made
by unwired tools and warranted for 5 years. Buying the original
from Mercedes is over $1800 and will still eventually fail.
Chrysler designed and dumped this system due to problems in the late
'70's and Mercedes started to use it in their cars.

Please make sure you order the correct fan
clutch. Your car should fall under one of the 3 areas to the left.
Russell's Review of the Fan Clutch:
A sure fire way to have your Mercedes diesel overheat is to have a bad
fan clutch. The clutch is supposed to lock up to engine speed when
the temp gets to a certain degree. A bad fan clutch will have your
car running hot at idle and low speed driving. Can also cause the
A.C. to not cool properly. A defective fan clutch will NOT make
the car run hot at highway speeds. More than a few engines have
been ruined by a defective fan clutch. If in doubt replace it
before its too late.

Russell's Review of the Coolant Bypass Hose Kit:
This is the hose that always goes bad at the worse time. The
bypass hose is constantly getting oil on it if you have a valve cover or
other oil leak. The oil softens it and then it fails.
Attaches to the thermostat housing bottom. Comes with a thermostat
housing gasket also as this must be loosened from the engine to replace
the hose. This is the correct German spec hose with the proper
wall thickness and diameter.

Russell's Review of the Valve
Adjusting Wrench Kit and DVD Combo:
Unlike one other
"Mercedes" store that sell wrenches, my wrenches
actually fit "without" interference of the top nut. I
had to grind the head down on the competitor wrench to get it to
work. I also have a non-slip surface on the handle, that really
comes in handy when your hands get oily. My wrenches are slightly
lighter and easier to handle, than the competition also. The
pictorial directions you get on my web site is far better than the black
and white instructions you get with the competition. Plus
you are getting the DVD on how to adjust the valves done by me.
Don't be intimidated with valve adjustment, I can teach ANYONE how to do
it, even if you have little to no mechanical experience. Stop
paying the Mercedes mechanic and pay yourself.

1985. One
of the most overlooked maintenance procedures besides fluid and filters,
has to be the valve adjustment.
Mercedes recommends this simple procedure every 12k miles or one
year. I can't tell you how many older Mercedes diesels I see, that
desperately need the valves adjusted. It is not hard to do even
for the beginner. There are a couple of special wrenches, feeler gauge
and new valve cover gasket that is needed. One car in
particular that I have done the valves on,
went from a rough running sled, to smooth as a Cadillac just because of
the valve adjustment. The wrenches are specifically designed for
adjusting the Mercedes valves. The head is thin enough to get to
the bottom nut and not interfere with the top nut. I also have a
non-slip coating for the handles, that I think you will really
appreciate when things get greasy.

slightly more expensive order it below WITH the filter kit.
1986 and later cars will get
extra diesel purge to replace the valve wrenches since they are not
needed.
Russell's Review of the Diesel
Extreme Makeover Filter Kit :
Ok I pulled out the stops on this kit. I went
crazy in the parts bins and put together everything you need to do an
extreme makeover on your new ride. Plus I want you to call me if you
have any questions. Why shop all over the internet looking for all those
maintenance parts. Get them all in one convenient box.
Every filter on your car is addressed including other
maintenance items. This is the same exact kit that I use when I
get a new Mercedes in the shop. It addresses everything you need
to do to your new arrival. Plus you get to call and talk to me if
you have any questions.

Russell's Review of the Diesel
Thermostat Kit :
This is another one of those maintenance items that I
recommend to be done every time you flush your coolant. A sticking or malfunctioning
thermostat has the potential to overheat your engine or not allow it to
get warm enough. Why take a chance on a cheap part ruining your
car. I recommend changing the thermostat every 2 years when you
change your coolant.

Russell's Review of the
Transmission Filter Kit :
This is an item that is really overlooked.
Transmission fluid should be changed ever 24k miles max. I do mine
every 12k miles and is cheap insurance on a transmission failure.
Fluid overheating and turning to varnish, is a huge problem on
automatics. Keep the transmission filter and fluid changed often
to prevent future expensive problems. The kit includes a filter
and pan gasket and other gaskets as related to your model.

model and VIN # when ordering so we get you the proper kit.
Russell's Review of the
Transmission Cooler Hose :
Rubber and hot tranny fluid are not the best of
friends. Over time the rubber transmission cooler hoses that go
from the radiator to the steel lines will leak and crack. Easy to
install and spring wrapped, these cooler hoses will last for many years
to come. Stop dripping tranny fluid all over your driveway.

123 and 126 body turbo diesel Mercedes through 1985.
Russell's Review of
Transmission Kick-down Cable Kit:
The kick-down cable is responsible for when the
transmission shifts. Adjustment of a defective, stretched or
broken cable will not yield a transmission that shifts properly.
This cable is NOT for how hard the transmission shifts, that is the
vacuum modulator valves job.
Runs from the transmission on the passenger
side to the top of the valve cover on the same side.
This Package Includes:
- One
(1) transmission kick-down cable.

This is one of those repairs that really make a noticeable

Product Description:
A cold engine does not start at its best!
Don't wait till it gets cold to install this block and
coolant heater. Gently heats the engine for a quick start-up on those cold mornings. Made of a
heavy duty element and electrically grounded for safety.
Those cars running on WVO or Veggie really need a good block heater to
reduce the time you have to run on petroleum. A warm engine
reduces wear on rings and valve train components. Also a reduction
in start-up emissions with a warm engine will result. Reduce smoke
and decrease the time it takes to achieve full oil pressure at
idle. Great for engines with high miles or lower than normal
compression. Helps them start MUCH more quickly and reduces glow
plug system and battery wear. This kit will fit all 123,
126 body Mercedes with the 4 or 5 cylinder engine up to 1985. Please give year, make
model and VIN # when ordering so we get you the proper kit.
Order the block heater and DIY DVD install
combo below.
Russell's Review of the Block
Heater Kit :
Well having a "senior" '79 300d that does
not have 'like new" compression, I love the quick starts I get on a
chilly morning. To be frank, I plug the old '79 in every night,
even in the summer. Having a good block heater really help the old
car start with a minimum of complaints. Having the engine warm
when you go to start, makes a dramatic decrease in wear since there is
less thermal expansion that must take place, compared to a stone cold
engine. Also if your engine did not come with a factory block
heater, then you are looking at a real job installing one. Since
these engines are nearly 20 years old, trying to remove the block heater
plug, can require a torch and a 5 foot breaker bar. The cast iron
plug on most engines (especially up North) is rusted on the threads,
making it VERY difficult to remove. You also run the risk,
although small, of cracking the block trying to remove that darn cast
iron plug. My block heater is designed to fit in the lower
radiator hose, just like heavy duty construction equipment. I have
already installed the heater into the brand new hose for you, just
remove your old hose, and install the new one. Having the heater
installed in the hose and not the block, takes advantage of the
insulating properties of the hose. That means more of the heat of
the unit will transfer to the ENTIRE cooling system. Since the
factory heater is installed in the block, there is a slight thermal
conductive cooling loss on the element itself.
The Block Heater Kit includes:
-
One (1) New correct metric German
Lower hose
-
One (1) Lower hose block heater
with 3 prong grounded plug
-
The above assembly is pre
installed for you

Russell's Review of
the Block Heater Cord:
Worn, torn, frayed or missing block
heater cords do no one any good. Revive your cold start ability
with a working block heater. This cord plugs into the factory
block heater and is a 3 prong ground unit. Replace the factory
unit perfectly.

Product Description:
Don't let a bad timing chain destroy your
engine! If the timing chain breaks while the engine is running,
then your run the possibility of cracking the head and bending the
valves. The camshaft and rocker assembly can also break in
half. Timing chains are often neglected and is an "out of
mind out of site" sort of maintenance. If your timing chain
has many miles, and is starting to stretch, then it will affect your
pump timing and can lead to rough running, excessive smoke and hard
starting. This kit will fit all 116
123 and 126 body Mercedes 1977-1985 with the 4 or 5 cylinder
non-turbo or turbo diesel engine. Please give year, make
model and VIN # when ordering so we get you the proper kit.
Bonus: Get a free pair of
Nitrile gloves with each chain kit. These are the same gloves that
I use and trust.
For the 602 and 603 engine
order below.
Russell's Review of the Timing
Chain Kit :
You can use my step by step pictorial on how to do
this job. Its not all that hard to do. I would rather do a
timing chain than a set of oil cooler hoses. Following the
pictorial instructions will get you on the path to success! A new
timing chain will give you peace of mind, knowing that you are not
going to destroy your engine any time soon.
The Timing Chain Kit includes:
-
One (1) Double row Timing chain
-

Window
Sealing Strip Kit
|
Price: $82.00
S&H: $Free
|
Product Description:
Stop annoying front window rattling and
shaking. The rubber felt strip that seals against the outside of
the 2 front windows, is really not designed to last 20 years.
Rubber deteriorates with age and gets hard and brittle. Hard
rubber is not a good seal against glass. Since
the 2 front windows get the most movement over time with the windows
going up and down, this kit addresses the broken and cracked rubber
seal. If your seal is cracked or not fitting tight against the
glass, water and debris can get inside the door and start a
moisture/rust problem. This kit will fit all 123 4 door body Mercedes 1977-1985. Please give year, make
model and VIN # when ordering so we get you the proper kit.
Russell's Review of the Window
Sealing Strip Kit :
Its not all that hard to do. This is an item that
most people don't even give a second thought to. The rubber on the
Mercedes cars are very good, but were never intended to last 20 plus
years. A good seal against the glass is all that stands in
the way of water, moisture and debris from entering the door
cavity. The 2 front windows are usually the ones that are most
damaged since these are the 2 windows that are raised and lowered the
most over the life of the car.
The Window Sealing Strip Kit includes:
-
Two (2) Window sealing felt
strips, one for each front window on the outside.

Product Description:
If your door locks are not working or you
seem to have a leak in the system, then this is a great place to start
the repair. If you still have your original check valve then it is
time to replace it with a new one. This valve lets vacuum only go
one way and if it leaks, then it will drain your main vacuum tank.

Russell's Review of
the Vacuum check valve Kit :
These valves were not designed to last a life
time. If you find that your door locks don't work or your vacuum

the proper HG's of vacuum to your transmission. Connects to the
tranny switching valve on the injection pump. If your is leaking

proper transmission shift function. A leaking or mission dashpot
will cause hard shifting or erratic shifting.

I went through the parts bins to pull out
a good useable assortment of
vacuum connectors for your diesel engine. Leaking connectors and
check valves are the number 1 reason for having vacuum problems. This kit will fit all
115, 116, 123 and 126 body Mercedes with the diesel engine. Please give year, make
model and VIN # when ordering so we get you the proper kit.
Russell's Review of
the Vacuum Connector Kit :
I have seen more vacuum problems over the
years due to cars still running with the factory original vacuum
connectors. This is the main reason for a host of problems like,
door locks not working, improper climate control functions, vacuum leak
down overnight, erratic shifting transmission and on and on. Oil
and engine heat hardens and swells the rubber and they WILL leak.
They are not meant to last a lift time. Order one for your car and
order a second one as a spare in your tool box. If you have a
slightly different vacuum configuration, let me know and I will put
together a custom kit for you.
The Vacuum Connector
Kit includes:
-
One (1) three way
connector
-
One (1) four way
connector.

the Deck Lid Emblem :
I have been storing up these deck lid
emblems for quite a while and they are taking up space. They were
all taken off the cars rear deck lid and they are OEM. Since they
are 20 plus years old don't expect them to be like new. All
mounting stems on the back are intact and they will just need some
cleaning and polishing. I will ship them in a box to prevent the
post office from bending them up.

Does your transmission modulator
work? Is leaking? Do you have hard shifts? My

drive, so you can see what its doing This part can be used on all
chassis models with a vacuum operated modulator valve. Please give year, make model and VIN
# when ordering so we get you the proper kit.
Russell's Review of the
Transmission Test Hose :
If you suspect that your modulator is not
working correctly, then use my test hose and tee to see once and for
all. Just hook up your vacuum gauge to one end and the other end
to the transmission modulator and its vacuum supply hose. Drive
the car with the vacuum gauge inside with you and you will see what kind
of signal it is getting at each shift point. Also is a great tool
to use when adjusting the modulator for a precise shift.

Hose Kit includes:

Turbo Diesel Air Intake Seal
Rings
Price:$29.50 S&H: $2.50
|
Product Description:
Would you really drive your prize
Mercedes Turbo Diesel around with unfiltered air? These 2 sealing
rings seal the u shaped air boot that connects the air cleaner to the
turbo. You will also suck dirty air into the turbo vanes if you have the
original seals. This part can be used on chassis models
116, 123, 126 turbo diesel only up to 1985. Please give year, make model and VIN
# when ordering so we get you the proper kit.
Russell's Review of the
Seal Rings:
If there is ever cheap insurance against
possible engine failure this is it! Every Turbo Diesel that has
rolled into my shop so far, is still running on hard, brittle or
misaligned seal rings that are original. These are just real big O
rings and must be soft and pliable in order to keep dirty unfiltered air
out of your turbo and engine. The boot and seal rings are the only
thing keeping the air out of the turbo, forcing it to pass through the
air filter, BEFORE it get to the engine. Easy to replace and every
owner should do this now.
The
Seal Ring Kit includes:
|
Expansion
Tank Kit
Price:$75.00 S&H: $Free

116, 123, 126 turbo diesel through 1985 and many gasoline models. Please give year, make model and VIN
# when ordering so we get you the proper kit.
Russell's Review of the
Expansion Tank Kit:
If your expansion tank is leaking, not
holding pressure or looking brown, then install a new one. Takes
about 20 minutes from start to finish, and that includes draining and
refilling the radiator. A leaking tank can eventually overheat
your engine if enough coolant is lost. Includes the plug kit for
those models that do not have the "low coolant" sensor.
