unfair? the compressor works for an hour and then it shuts off and after a few hours it starts up again. i paid to replace the receiver (dryer) both sending switches, one for compressor and one for the fan, vac. for an hour, to minus 30 degrees any par what else to do?
Compressor is the device that has a piston and and a clutch, when operating, it pumps freon throughout the system. The compressor clutch cuts on and off without car being overheated. I tried to circumvent the seding switch at the drier and still does not work. It works only when it feels like it.

Hello,
I have a 1982 Mercedes Benz Turbo Diesel that is overheating.
the coolant disappears at a very vigorous rate, BUT there doesn't appear to be a leak in any of the hoses. My clutch for the fan was broken and that was fixed/replaced.
Also, there is extremely pressurized steam that comes out from teh coolant container when the car runs (another indication that i don't think i have a leak in a hose somewhere).
I reasoning it might be a problem with the thermostat, but upon examination saw that it was not there...also, the coolant is not to flowing (when i started the car with the thermostat casing off, there was a spot where coolant was exposed and straight sitting there, and (depending upon the direction of flow) theoretically should have shot outward or been sucked inward. it valid sat there. this is when we thought it might be a problem with the water pump, however the water pump seems fine.
it does not appear to have any indications of a blown or cracked guide gasket (no water/coolant in the oil, no milky appearance,etc). i'm stumped. i don't know.
even without a thermostat, shouldn't the coolant rush? or do i absolutely have to have a thermostat? where is the coolant disappearing to? is there something i might be overlooking?
any ideas or suggestions would be greatly appreciated

i have an 1981 Mercedes benz 300sd diesel. i emptied the stimulus tank and now i have air in the line. i Have ben trying to bleed the lines but the battery keeps dieing on me. i ddon't have a battery charger and the nearest auto zone is not inseparable at all. does anyone have any suggestions on how to bled the system perhaps without the battery?
I faith your not cranking the motor over. Your going to have to by-pass the fuel pump relay and crack the injector lines pull out to do this. I use an inline fuel pump myself. If you can't do any of the above try priming the fuel filter at least.

The G, M, and R classes of Mercedes Benz just came out with certain models that utilize Blue TEC diesel technology. This particular idea is something that people will really embrace since there are certain clean air requirements that need to be satisfied per state and this kind of engine helps lessen the air pollutants that are released.
Mercedes-Benz retrofits classic 190D with modern BlueEFFICIENCY diesel
