Brand new turbine wheel and shaft with new compressor wheel. Includes proper left hand thread nut. This will ONLY fit the Garrett Turbocharger for the years mentioned above. It will not fit the KKK turbo nor do we carry parts for the KKK German brand. Please see Kent's YouTube videos to determine which turbocharger you have. These parts DO NOT come with any instructions. Instructions are included when you purchase the overhaul kit. Be aware that if you plan to open up your turbo, in more than half of the turbos with over 150,000 miles these parts will also need to be replaced.

There are challenges as well as perils when installating a new seal. If you are not careful the lip seal spring can pop off and you will never know it until the seal starts to leak again and you have to replace it! You can also damage the seal housing by trying to tap it in from side to side during seal replacement. Avoid sharp blows and drive the seal in straight with finesse! This tool kit will save you big headaches as well as $$ down the road.
This installing tool has the following advances:
This is just what the doctor ordered when installing a new seal. This can prevent the lip sealing spring from popping off during seal replacement. When this happens you will never know it because you can not see the sealing spring once the seal is installed!!! Talk about having to do the job all over again. The sad thing is that some shops could install the seal and the spring could come off unknowingly. If you have a shop install new seals in your older Benz specificly, you want them to use this grease on the back side of the seal to secure the spring!
This kit contains the following:
From my experience the only thing that goes wrong with the front seat back pockets is the top bungie cord that holds the net up wears out (loses its “spring”) and sags badly. When was the last time you saw a 1973 to early 1990's seat back netting that was NOT sagging??? Look at the before and after difference in a 1983 240D (image 1) It does not take a trained eye to know how much better the left one looks (fixed first) from the seat back panels in a 1990 190E. (image 2)
If your shut off valve is leaking oil or is not shutting off quickly (even with a good valve and proper vacuum applied to it) you may need to remove it for repair. You can adjust its travel with the items included in this kit. Comes with 2 new gaskets, proper gasket sealant and instructions for adjustment. Comes with instructions on how to remove and replace the valve but that is done is readily done by removing the four bolts that hold the valve to the back of the injection pump.

For ONE 116, 123 and 126 Chassis Sedans, Coupes or Wagon Seat Bottom. This unique kit is designed to help you repair and restore one broken down front seat bottom so common in the 116, 123 and 126 chassis Mercedes built from 1973 to 1991. And it can be done without taking the upholstery off the seat! The seat must be removed from the car and placed upside down on a work bench. You work with hand tools to install the included hardware from the underside of the seat frame. Average repair time is 2 hours for one seat. No special tools are required other than a grinder if you need to cut one or more of the reinforcement springs included.
For 123 Chassis 300TD, 201 Chassis 190E 16V and 126 Chassis 560SEL
This SLS manual was written specifically for 123 300TD wagon owners, but also applies to the models mentioned above, 300TDs from 1979-1985 and other chassis above up to 1990. If you own or are planning to purchase one of these popular wagons, I guarantee at some point you will have to deal with the SLS (Self Leveling Suspension) system. PLEASE NOTE: If you have a 1987 to 1995 124 chassis wagon this manual will only cover basic principles of troubleshooting. It does not cover the pump or the rear sway bar which are different on 124 wagons.
Of all the upgrades for diesel engines that we offer on this site, I believe changing over to Monark injector nozzles will give you more performance improvements for the money that any other single product. From our own diesels to the glowing reports we hear from our customers - you may have a hard time believing just how true this claim is until you experience it first hand! And Monark nozzles are probably the last of a breed. Yes, they are still manufactured in Germany...
Recently, I set out with the goal to provide our customers with all the resources they would need to troubleshoot and repair the brake systems on their own cars. As your favorite Benz ages brake problems will arise and they can sometimes be difficult to diagnose. Since brakes are a safety related system it is also VERY important that any repair work be done properly and with great care.
This new easy to understand guide will walk you through the different ways to bleed your brakes and the equipment needed to do the job right. Brake bleeding is something that no sane person finds enjoyable. It can be messy and often involves painful contortions to access the bleeder screws. There seems to be varying opinions as well as a bit of black magic involved with the bleeding process. It may be more of an art than a science. Sometimes the procedure works perfectly, and then other times it seems like you end up with endless air in your system that just wont come out. The information contained in this booklet will eliminate some of the mystery and give you the knowledge and confidence to do the job right the first time. Covers safety tips, types of bleeding equipment and 4 different ways you can bleed your brakes.
If you have been reluctant to overhaul your worn and inefficient Bosch fuel injector nozzles because the job is too difficult or too costly then think again! For approximately the same cost as rebuilt Bosch fuel injectors you can purchase this kit to rebuild them yourself in your garage and get better performance to boot! Works on all 617 engines 300D, 300CD, 300TD and 300SD from 1975 to 1985.
For all MBZ diesel engines 1950 to 1993. You are looking at the worlds first production diesel mechanical fuel injector bench tester available in the U.S. for under $200. These are built at the Mercedessource shop to control quality and production demands. This bench mount pop tester will allow you to economically test the spray pattern and fine tune (balance) your fuel injectors at home. With the injector fitting included it will work on all Mercedes diesels from the early 1960s up to 1993. This includes chassis 110, 115, 116, 123, 126, 201 and 124 and models 200D 220D 240D 300D 300CD 300TD 190D 300SD 300SDL 350SD.
Works only on the 5 cylinder turbo engine from 1978 to 1985 (116, 123, 126 chassis). 300D 300TD 300CD 300SD. Does not work on some 1985 models with trap oxidizer (air cleaner mounted off the engine). If you own or have owned a 116, 123, or 126 with a 617 turbo diesel engine for any length of time you are probably very aware of the air cleaner shake and rattle problem (except 1985 models with trap oxidizer). Rubber mounts loosen up or tear and the mounting brackets seem to break way too often. With this kit and instructions I hope to help you eliminate or at least drastically curtain this common problem. After working on literally hundreds of these engines I have found that just replacing the bracket and the three rubber mounts is not the answer.
Only one available. Good for replacement of single faulty injector. Please only order one! Recent removal from 300SDL engine. It is showing near new condition. Bench tested in our shop. Proper release pressure and excellent spray pattern.
This is the GREEN transmission vacuum modulator found on most of the models listed above. This unit has been upgraded from the original for better shifting performance. This new part has a stronger vacuum containment chamber and the thrust pin included is made with a new material to eliminate fluctuations in pin length during extreme temperature changes. Internal spring tension has been increased to improve cold start shifts from 1st to 2nd gear and reduce flaring when shifting between 3rd and 4th gear. WARNING: There are other things that can cause problems with poor shifting, so there is no guarantee this new part will fix them. But due to the cost and ease of installation this is a good place to start.
One of the hardest parts of replacing a flexible brake hose is loosening up the hard metal line without rounding off the nut. These are on hard and over time the top fitting can take some real force to loosen. You will need a flare nut head wrench to loosen the nut without damage. We have one that even has a flex head to allow better access to the nut - which is sometimes not very easy to get at. Kent's favorite brake hose wrench!

This is an above average used leather rear seat from a 1986 300SDL. It will fit all 126 sedans but the upholstery pattern is typical of those models in leather from 1981 to 1987. No rips or tears, padded is good and stitching is all intact. Will require special boxing for shipping - suspect shipping charges to be $125 to $200 depending on your location. Contact us if you want to purchase.
Smoke coming from a Mercedes diesel indicates that something is wrong with the engine and/or related systems. This should be taken as a warning. If not dealt with, the problem (s) causing the smoke will potentially result in high repair costs later or it may shorten the life of the engine. If you take your high mileage diesel into a shop to fix the problem it could end up costing you thousands of dollars. In most cases the cause of the smoke on these old diesels is due to more than one problem. The only economical way to fix the problem and make sure it is done right is to do the diagnosis and repairs yourself.
This turbo is a complete unit as shown. I can not guarantee that every last bolt is there but all the key components are. Excellent bushing bores in the center section and in the compressor housing. The turbine on the turbine shaft is badly worn on the vanes. So it will need a rebuild kit, a new turbine shaft and wheel and a new compressor wheel. Sorry we do not carry parts for the KKK turbos. What you see is what you get. Price is right.
This kit will provide you with extra fuel filters you can carry in the trunk of your car. There is enough room in the case to add some gloves and tools that you would need to change the filters on the open road. Kent recommends you should add some extra fuses and light bulbs to the case as well. The number one reason for loss of power on a long road trim is a plugged fuel filter.
The kit contains the following:

The kit contains the following:

Good used rebuilt Bosch Alternator. Good working condition. Has rebuilt sticker but not sure how many miles..
Good used rebuilt turbo starter. Appears to be a recent replacement.
Good used alternator adjusting mechanism as shown. No cracks in plate and bolt in good condition. No instructions. Nut missing for end of long bolt (can be used off your old unit)
Kent started wearing protective hand gloves back in the day when only latex was readily available. When nitrile came along he was elated and has closely followed improvements in these gloves over the years. Recently he discovered what he believes is the ultimate glove when working on cars - especially old diesels! If you have watched any of his recent videos you will recognize them by the dark green color.
The advantages of these over other nitrile gloves are numerous:
The original rubber grommet and plastic elbow will become brittle over the years from the heat of the engine. When you go to remove the breather it will often just break off in your hand! The hard seal allows oil to leak causing a mess around the front of your valve cover. Ordering a replacement from the Mercedes dealer may come as a little price shock, so Kent came up with an inexpensive alternative.
This kit will work on the 1986 and 1987 300SDL, the 1987 300D and 300TD and the 1990 to 1993 300D 2.5. It may work on other models as well. Please view picture closely to confirm. Kit contents are as follows:
One of Kent's top pet peeves is poor performing tape. All the promises of duct tape, gorilla tape, electrical tape just don't cut the mustard - especially when subjected to hard conditions of temperature, sun and moisture over time. This tape was designed for the home construction industry to seal out moisture and air in the underlayment system when framing a home. You can not believe how this stuff sticks. It does not tear. It stretches and forms around slight compound surfaces.
