Brakes squealing after gravel road

Recently replaced all pads and rotors… Performing great, and not a hint of squeal. After spending some time on a gravel road, the brakes squeal most of the time when coming to a stop. So obviously it's the result of debris between pad and rotor. Is this likely to resolve on its own?

Oil Filter Housing leak

It looks like that housing is two pieces and there is a leak at the joint I believe. I have not seen a gasket for that. Does anyone know if one exists or is it a liquid gasket fix? A while back I replaced the seal where the filter housing bolts to the engine, seems like that repair is still good. Thanks

Sbu 2150 mystery air manifold with adjuster

Itabove the drivers step. Connects to the air seat and green parking brake like valve. Which affects the air slave on the pto tranfer and dual clutch which has been removed and two banjo air fitting at the rear which were attached to nothing. And tied to the rear swaybar links. What does this valve do if i turn it and what could these lines have gone to? The gladhands are still hooked up so not them.

I have had my midnight blue 87 model for a few years now and have it mostly sound mechanically.

Hi, Hello

Hi, very nice to meet you all. I bought my first Mercedes-Benz around 6 months ago, it is a 2008 Sprinter. Came with almost every issue imaginable, but I like projects anyway. I've owned quite a few different vehicles in the past and have self-taught most of the repairs. I'm planning on refurbishing this Sprinter and converting it into a fully self-sustainable luxury stealth camper. I'm currently based in Scotland, United Kingdom, but have travelled a lot and spend half my time... Hi, Hello

2007 E550 W211 RHD Airmatic Front Suspension.

G'Day from Downunder to everyone. Hi, everyone, the front of my car gets lower over a period of time and after about 4-5 Days it is down on the stops, the rear is fine. My MB Dealer replaced the front airbags a couple of years ago, when I start the car the front end comes straight up and is at the highest point after about 30 seconds, but it is annoying. I do well under 500km per year, any hints or help would be appreciated. Thank You in advance, Richard.

I did notice the reservoir has date code 08/2003 so no surprises if the plastic has a crack somewhere after nearly 20 years. I read about the potential for leaking washer fluid to corrode and short out the ABS module so I did some investigating with the headlight removed. Didn't see any trace of fluid on top of...

Shipping a hood (Germany)

I am trying to get a 411C hood from Metallbau Feulner GmbH. Looks like it's an hour or two from Nuremberg. Anyone have a container coming this way or anyone live near that would be willing to help with shipping. The guys at the shop are having issues finding a good shipping method.

2009 SL65 headlight issue

My right headlight (right-when sitting in the car, left-when standing in front looking at the car) does not come on when the switch is in the Auto position. The only position it will come on is if I manually twist the switch down a few more clicks to the Regular on position. The other headlight works properly. Any ideas on what to look for to fix it? I wouldn't think it is the bulb since it lights up in the regular on position but could the issue be the switch on the dash? Thx.

D-Jetronic "Tuner Chip" Idea

This would be a small module that would plug into the engine harness and the ECU, sitting between them. It would pass through all inputs from the harness to the ECU but also monitor them to see what they are. However it would have the ability to tweak the outputs - the fuel pump on/off and the injector pulse widths. For example extending injector pulse widths by a specific % depending on the input conditions. The engine timing could be controlled by adjusting the level of vacuum supplied to...

Rebuilt automatic climate control panel & movovalve voltage

Should be a pretty quick question. I sent away for a rebuilt ACC panel (Programa, via Autohaus) and got it in and noticed the heat not working with the new one. Took a look at the monovalve voltage with my trusty Fluke and the valve seemed to be getting 0v or 12v depending on position. I noticed with the monovalve unplugged during the test, at 0v to the monovalve I'm getting lots of heat - so that seemed to indicate the new ACC panel. In retrospect maybe I could have documented those values... Rebuilt automatic climate control panel & movovalve voltage

Really strange acceleration problem on a 1982 380sl

My Dad has a 1982 380sl. It didn't start this spring but after the battery was charged and the fuel line was bled it started fine (it was a bit rougher of an idle than normal) a day after this however the car would have acceleration problems on the second time being started. The car can drive without problems but immediately has incredibly slow acceleration when being turned on again after a drive. I'm stumped on this because it makes no sense

4matic wagon suspension

C55 right primary cat replacement

Picked up a 2005 C55 with some front end damage. Car went off the road and tore up the front end but my main concern was the damage done to the right side primary cat (one off the manifold). At first I thought (hoped) it could be welded but upon further review the damage is larger than I thought and part of the actual honeycomb is broken off. Is OE my only option?

I need some advice before I tear apart my fuel system. I have a fuel leak in the rear next to the fuel filter. It appears to be coming from the seam in the fuel tank between the top and bottom halves. Anyone have any ideas or experience with this?

Thanks in advnace for your help.

Engine Start Problem 1983 SL380

Hello all. New to the forum and looking for advice. I recently purchased a 1983 SL380. It starts up very well from a cold start, however; when I drive it from my house to the store or dinner, it has trouble starting back up. If it sits for a day, it cranks up totally fine with no issues. A little more detail into the issue... when I try to start it after ruining it recently (within 3 hours or so after driving it) it tries to crank but has trouble. Sometimes I have to turn the key for... Engine Start Problem 1983 SL380

2009 SL550 R230 Power trunk close not working from trunk lid button

Hello! First post here and thank you for all the info on these boards. Very helpful so far. I have a problem I have not seen on here. I have a 2009 SL550 and the trunk will not power close from the trunk lid button. It will power close from the door switch (although I do have to hold it down). I have replaced the button in the trunk lid, and that did not fix the problem. The uniqueness from previous posts I have seen in this forum is the fact that it will from the driver's door... 2009 SL550 R230 Power trunk close not working from trunk lid button

Rear Entertainment Center Question.

Hey guys. I purchased a 2008 S550 about a month ago. The guy I purchased it from had something done where I can play a dvd while driving. The picture doesn't cut off when I put the car in drive. I've seen some S550s and S63s with headrest monitors. I was wondering if I purchase the factory headrest monitors or some aftermarket ones can they be hooked up to my factory cd/dvd player so that all three screens can show whatever dvd I put in the changer

My father is trying to sell his 73 450SEL.

Air Intake temperature sensor connector question

w123 Euro bumper question

Hello everyone, It has been a few years since I last posted in this section as I sold my W123 a few years back but am looking to get back into another one very soon. I plan on installing euro bumpers and headlights and had a question for those who know regarding the bumpers: Why do some have the rubber end caps(albeit smaller than those on the US bumpers and some do not? Thanks, Freddy

Power Seat Relay A

I have been troubleshooting a battery drain condition and this led to the discovery that my power seat relay is always on. All of the seat functions work including the memory. I searched and found several threads about current draw on this relay with some reporting that theirs was overheating, but no real solutions. Is it normal that this relay would energize as soon as the car battery is connected to the main leads? It would seem that the power seats would not need to function until the... Power Seat Relay A

Need PN for aux fan switch

My aux fun runs all the time when the connector is on the aux fan switch - even before starting the engine on a cold start. When I got the car I discovered that the aux fan switch was disconnected. I called classic center to order one, they gave me a 006-545-14-24 - this looks totally different than what I removed and what is shown in the shop manuals. However, it does fit the screw hole and the electrical connector. Does anyone know if this is a match? It looks like the original fan... Need PN for aux fan switch
