How do I repair the electric window on my mercedes 300 diesel estate ? Cable has come off from top and bottom rollers (The one which goes through the motor). Thanks, Emil.

install the bottom half into the pan as far as it goes, the install the top half to it and the 2 bolts to bottom of the turbo. the slide the rubber grommet on the bottom section down into the oil pan until it is seated, next using a slip jaw pliers grab the bottom section and slide it straight up into the top pipe section which also the seals it into the bottom rubber grommet, I hope this helps.

Use two hooked anythings and put in each side of cluster and pull straight out. It's only held in by four pieces of friction rubber. Two on top and two on bottom. When loose mark and remove bulbs, speedo cable.

Diesel shouldn't damage the engine but likely fuel pump (electric) might be damaged, Diesel is lubricous but any and all fuel filtering devices shouuld be replaced. Good luck

There is a junction block about 6 inches in front of the battery on the fender, there should be battery voltage on the big wires. The small wire is the starter solenoid. Front the junction block, the power goes to the light switch then to the ignition switch.

Good Luck

on the passenger side should be a cover thats about the size of a roll of toilet paper with a bolt head on top. That is it. It is a replaceable element not a spin on filter.

start from bottom and pull. remove any screws that might be holding the panel on the door first they may be covered by little plastic caps. then work your way up around the edges. be sure to disconnect any swtches befor u pull the cover all the way off. then push the hole panel up.

hello,try to start your engine first, or ignition on to move your lever in park,then press your brake pedal 2 to 3 times to free-up the cable to release in park,ty

hi,remove black plastic cover near the handle,then you can see one screw,remove,door lock plastic cover,remove,cover for side mirror cover remove ,then lift the whole panelling,ty

Old Diesels do not require electricity once started so luckily the problem wont stop you once you're up and running, though if at night you wont have headlights, brake lights, hazzards or turnsignals.

Even if it was a dead battery, your alternator would still give you power once started.

I'll need more information to help diagnose better. First, once started, do you have electricity? Or is it dead all the time?

Alternators need the engine to spin them, so first make sure there is a belt attached to the alternator...open hood, look bottom left of engine for alternator...look to see if there is a black rubber belt attached to the pulley on front of alternator.

Then make sure wire cluster plug is plugged in securely to top of back of alternator. If so, follow the wires up to battery and see if they are torn, detached, worn or corroded.

You will need to a good new battery and to pick up a cheap voltage tester from Radio Shack or similar place. Check battery power, set voltage tester to 12V and with engine off voltage should be around 11-12V...once engine is started, it should be showing 13 to 14 volts.

There are lots of "bad" ways to check to see if alternator works, but they can damage the alternator's internal voltage regulator...so I warn you not to detach from battery while running.

If new battery is installed, connectors and all wires connected tightly, and still no power once engine is started...or you see voltage slowly dropping while engine is running...and turn on headlights...see if it still goes down lower...reach over top of engine with a friend holding tester leads to battery terminals, you can rev the engine...there is a metal bracket at top center of motor that will have a red sticker that says, "engine stop" pull it away from engine to rev, push to shut off engine...this a fuel control gadget. If you rev the engine and there is no change in voltage...and all wires are intact from alternator...then your alternator is not working properly and will need replaced.

I stress this, before you decide this is the prroblem (which is expensive and time consuming to fix, MAKE SURE ALL WIRES are SECURELY ATTACHED and in PLACE.

Please let me know if this helped you and if not, tell me what you learned and the other clues I need to better diagnose. Thanks and good luck!

Hello, Diesel Hi-test made by lubra-moly is a great additive for diesels but usually only found at some of your Mercedes diesel repair stations. Lucas also makes some good products.

If you find this information to be correct would you please enter a "fixya" rating.
