Application: Fits all 5 cylinder diesel engines 300SD from 1978 to 1985 and all 300D, 300CD and 300TD from 1980 to 1985 with pencil glow plugs. We have been so impressed with Monark Products that we have recently begun using their glow plugs. They are actually one of the last quality glow plugs still made in Germany. Even Bosch now makes their glow plugs in France, Turkey and other locations in Europe. Now don't get me wrong - Bosch is still a good product. But these Monark glow plugs are superb. They are built with the same materials and have the same specifications as the Duraterm pencil plugs. Even comes with 5 high quality locking nuts for the wires.

Application: Fits all 4 cylinder 240D diesel engines from 1980 to 1983 with pencil glow plugs. We have been so impressed with Monark Products that we have recently begun using their glow plugs.

FITS THE FOLLOWING: 115, and 123 chassis, 1975 to 1979 5 cylinder non-turbo diesel engines with series (looped style) glow plugs installed. WARNING: Be sure to check that your glow plugs have not been changed to the parallel (pencil)fast glow type.

Glow plugs do not last forever. I have found they generally need to be replaced about every 2 to 3 years for peak performance. If your diesel starts hard when cold, or starts but runs rough for 30 to 60 seconds before smoothing out, or the glow dash light flashes right after startup, then it may be time to replace the glow plugs. They should be replaced in sets unless you have the odd failure of just one fairly new plug.

FITS THE FOLLOWING: 110, 115, and 123 chassis, 1965 to 1979 4 cylinder diesel engines with series (looped style glow plugs installed. WARNING: Be sure to check that your glow plugs have not been changed to the parallel (pencil) fast glow type.

Cleaning out your glow plug holes from excess carbon (coke) can increase fuel economy and will extend the life of your glow plugs. This important regular maintenance procedure is commonly neglected and will lead to rough starts, smoke at startup, decreased fuel economy, and engine shake.

This is the first release from Kent Bergsmas new Advanced DIY Mechanic Series of repair manuals. This printed and wire bound guide will teach you everything you have ever wanted to know about how your pre-glow system works, how to quickly diagnose faults, how to repair and replace failed parts, how to prevent further problems, and how to upgrade a sluggish glow plug system.

This relay provides the delay function on your wiper motor. If your wipers are not working in the first postition on you switch it may mean this relay is bad. It is located behind your instrument cluster up close to the firewall on all 123 chassis. On 126 300SD and 380SE it is located inside the fuse box. BRAND NEW KAE relay.

Looking for a solution to solve your 114 115 116 123 or early 126 chassis power antenna problems? In my humble opinion the original power antennas on all 1985 and older Mercedes are justing getting too old to mess with anymore. I have tried myself to rebuild them only to have them fail again in another area. You can send them out for professional overhaul but that is expensive. Unless every electrical and mechanical part inside is replaced problems may return. New original exact replacements are no longer available.

Works on most Early 116, 107, 114, 115 and early 123 models up to the end of the 1970's. This is a genuine Bosch replacement for alternators in those cars that use an internal voltage regulator. If you alternator has a rectangular housing on the outside of the regulator then this is the correct part. DO NOT let anyone tell you to replace your alternator until you have inspected and/or replaced this inexpensive regulator. Even if your old alternator is working pull the regulator and inspect the brushes. If they are worn down short just replace it. This is the best RUN INSURANCE you can get!

If you are looking for an inexpensive way to test the electrical circuits on your Mercedes here is a good option. This tester reads both AC and DC voltage, DC current, resistance, and transistor, diode and battery test. Features automatic zero adjust, overange indication, and low battery indicator. Easy to read LCD readout and comes with 32 inch long test leads. Great for testing battery drains and glow plugs.
