Mercedes Monark Diesel Fuel Injector Nozzles-Best Engine Performance Upgrade
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...
Mercedes Complete MBZ Brake System Service and Repair Resources
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.

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.
Mercedes 617 Turbo Diesel Engine Anti Rattle Kit
1978 to 1985 TURBO 300D 300CD 300TD 300SD with air filter housing mounted on engine
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.
Mercedes Dealing with Brake Pad Dust on Your Allow Wheels
Can the problem really be solved? Kent is on the hunt for a solution.
Kent has set out to try to find a solution for the annoying brake dust problem on his 300SL. For many of the older factory alloy wheels, brake dust covers are a good solution, but for the AMG wheels dust shields just don't look good and could affect brake cooling at high speeds. Of course Kent only drives slow.....
He is taking another look at the new generation of ceramic brake pads to see if a workable solution can be found. As of April 25, 2012 he has installed ceramic pads on his 1990 300SL as well as his 1990 190 2.6 and will be putting them to the test over the next few weeks. Will they live up to all their promises and hype. Check back in 4 to 5 weeks....
