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.

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.

Mercedes Self Leveling Suspension, Theory, Troubleshooting, Maintenance by Kent Bergsma
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.
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.

Mercedes 190E 2.6 300E CE/TE 103 Engine Water Pump Replacement Tool
This job is a real pain and near impossible without this special tool - SPECIAL ORDER ITEM
If you are going to change a water pump on a 103 engine you will need this tool or you may never get the pump off. The hours wasted can lead to extreme mental meltdown (I speak from experience :-) ). Access and clearance is so tight that a normal 3/8 inch drive extension and universal will not work. This is a quality set of tools put together for you to work right from the start. The socket is Craftsman and the extensions and universal with adapter are Stanley. Partial instructions included.
This tool comes only with instructions to get on and to remove the water pump bolts. It DOES NOT come with complete instructions on removing and replacing the pump. Those instructions are in the works and will be available soon.

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 603 300D 300TD 300SDL Valve stem seal set
Fits 6 cylinder diesels from 1986 to 1987
Complete valve stem seal set for the 603 engine.

Mercedes Maintenance Sealant and Adhesive Survival Kit
These are the top five for your work bench
Kent is often asked what are the most important SEALANTS AND ADESIVES to have around for your Benz. These are his top 5 picks. This kit includes the following 5 products:
Mercedes Maintenance Metric Combination Wrench Set - Kent's Favorite - SPECIAL PURCHASE
Made by Allen Industrial Tools - Only $10 with any order of $75 or more
Here is what Kent says about these wrenches: " I am very picky about the "feel" and "fit" of my combination wrenches. Some are just too smooth and slippery, while others just don't feel good in your hands. Then their are those who have real thick heads that make it hard to get on close quarter nuts and bolts (like Kobalt). A lot of the real cheap wrenches don't fit tight on the heads, thus causing rounding off of the heads (like a lot of them)!!
Mercedes Early Steering Box Adjusting Stud Replacement Locknut
Fits most models 1969 to 1995 - Genuine Mercedes Part - see description for application
This is not a normal nut. On the face it has a special hard plastic nylon seal. When this seal deteriorates you may see evidence of power steering fluid seeping out of the bottom the the adjustment locknut (located on the top of the steering box). Kent recommends if you are planning to loosen your locknut to adjust the play in your steering box that you purchase this new nut ahead of time. Fluid leaks are not fun!
Mercedes 50 AMP Glow Plug Circuit Strip Fuse - Sold Individually
For 1977 to 1983 240D
50 amp fuses were used on most 123 240D diesel glow plug systems due to the lower amp draw. 80 amp fuses will also work but some may choose to go with original spec. Check the number on the center of the fuse you are currently using. It should read either 50 or 80.
