The engine and transmission in this cars drivetrain is fully electronically controlled by a computer called the PCM (Powertrain Control Module). Whenever a problem like this occurs the computer stores a record of the problem in the form of a fault code in its memory, to read these fault codes you must have the systems memory scanned with a special tool. Once the fault code(s) are read you then must perform the appropriate diagnostic testing to find and resolve the problem(s)

SOURCE: how to remove the front brake pads

Take the wheels off. Pop off the retaining springs with a screwdriver-note how they are positioned so you can reinstall. On the back of the calipers, there may be two rubber covers that hide the bolt heads-unless someone previously did not reinstall them. There should be 2 torx-40 bolts or perhaps allen head-7mm bolts in the holes. Loosen these up and pry the calipers back from the brake rotors with a flathead screwdriver. This should sufficiently loosen up the assembly. Take the calipers with pads still attached and lift off the rotors. Take the outside pad off first and compress the inside pad-while still attached(you can use a big pair of channel locks or c-clamp). Now replace both inner and outer pads, making sure to use some brake paste and make sure you change the sensors as well. Reinstall and don't be scared if you have to fight with those retaining springs-I like to put the lower part into its hole first, then put the upper end into it's hole, then pry the bent part back over the caliper edge. Do one side at a time, so you can make sure of how they go back together.

SOURCE: Transmission Fluid - 1987 Mercedes-Benz Diesel Turbo

It took Mercon Dextron III.

Of course, MD IV, V or Mutli-Vehicle would be better (the new multi-vehicle formula is what is being widely recommended by all nowadays).

SOURCE: I have 1999 Mercedes Benz e300 Turbo Diesel and

Hi there
Its probably not a fuse issue as that would affect both sides.
when you replace a blub especially the brake lights it is possible to deform that nice flat panel of metalic strips and if you look carefully it sometimes breaks the plastic pins on which it sits, this causes poor connection to the functional bulb, the soloution is easy, get a small piece of card and fold it over till its about 2-3 mm thick then wedge it behind the panel of strips (top outside corner for brake light) and hey presto the light should work again, top tip use an umbrella and the electric seat to make sure the brake pedal is deppressed to check if alone.

Twin turbo 80 horse power deutz Diesel engine blows black smoke under load

Diesel engines smoke when under a heavy load. Unlike a gas engines, a diesel engine uses fuel that is more like an oil.Smoking is a good indication the fuel is not completly burning because of loaded engine spee. White smoke indicates the fuel is not ignitingefficiently. Truck, boats, tanks abd anything else using diesel fuel will smoke when it gets more fuel than it can use.. Easing up on the throttle will lessen the smoke but not eliminate.. Of coarse if the demand is lessened by applying less loadyhe fuel consumption drops.Not to worry as long as the smoke doesn't attract the EPA.

Mercedes 250 td air in fuel lines

I had the same problem with 1999 E300 TD 6-cylinder in-line engine.
The problem was the o-ring on the pre-filter. Make sure all o-rings are tight and try putting small amount of silicone grease when installing them.

Only cold air from my heater on e300 turbo diesel

The Most common Cause for your Heat to stop blowing, is low engine coolant. If there is not enough coolant in your system, your heater coil will not function. Check the level of your Engine coolant.
