Had the same issues on my C 107 recently. My 1980 SLC has all the common problems you list on your 107 videos. Keep them coming.👍

Love that glossy blue paintjob. Reminds me of those expensive Siku-toy cars.

Really enjoying your videos as I am stuck with my 1994 220E after fuel pump failed in Kenya

Yes it’s important to replace the fuel filter and fuel pump and hoses, especially if the car sat for a while with old gas stuck in the system, my 380sl sat 5 years and barley ran before it will just bog out, easy to do

Great stuff! Would like to see a video on lower door seal replacement. Not much at all on KZread!

When i was doing this on my 123 wagon. The big hose from the Tank to the pump just broke in two pieces. You really need to check everything in this area.

Good clip thanks

Hello and thank you for the super informative videos. I have two questions I hope you can help me with, I have an 81 380 SL, I'm looking to change the wheels and the steering wheel to an older model. For the wheels I want to use the 14" steel wheels with hub caps as shown on your video car. For the steering wheel I want to use the older generation sl steering wheel with the chrome ring. Question is do you know if these changes will work on an 81 380 SL? before I go on the hunt for these wheels, hub caps and steering wheel. thank you and keep the videos coming!

Hey Ken have you ever converted the one peice oil pan on the 380sl with the two pan from a 380sel? I’m doing the switch on my 380sl and curious only why later r107s have a single oil pan while early ones have two piece pans

Hi, I have watched a few of your videos trying to figure out the fuel system. Well, I have a problem with what I think is the Fuel Tank Flow Valve. I replaced the original with a secondary part that was made after the first was cancelled. The new part is almost the same, but not quite. The original has vent holes on both sides & air could only pass through one, well the new part has holes only on one side and passes air through both sides. Could this lead to rough idle, rough driving, rich fuel, and cold start valve problems?

👍🏻👍🏻

Great video, thanks. Can this kit be used on an '86 560sl as well? She's been sitting for quite some time and will definitely need the rear fuel system parts changed out.

The 560SL is quite different from the 450SL. Two fuel pumps are required, filter is different and some of the hoses are also different. I will have a 560SL kit available in about a week. Thanks

Rhino Ramps, I got 2. Im gonna get 2 more My god. Did my whole head gasket on Rhino Ramps.

I'm going to order the kit and internal fuel filter kit. But do you need to replace the fuel damper and accumulator also? I see these are readily available from other sources. Thanks.

The damper is hollow and usually does not need replacing. You can order the accumulator separately on my website. Thanks. mercedessource.com/store/1978-1980-w116-r107-c107-v8-fuel-delivery-overhaul-kit-limited-video-instructions

Thanks very much for the info. I'll be sure to order the accumulator with it when I am ready to do the upgrade.

I've never looked at the set-up on my 1989 300CE. I guess they can rot just the same. Any suggestions Kent?

Any system over 25 years old - regardless of mileage - get it up in the air, remove the shroud and inspect it carefully. If it is a car you care about and drive regularly and want reliability - replace the components

A fuel Kit for a 560sl would be great Ken.

Hello. My 72 350SL fires up when cold but not when warm. AlMost as if starving for fuel. Went under and felt fuel running through line by fuel pump when the ignition is turned. BUT yesterday as I was checking a noticed a small light coming from under engine on passenger side when the engine was turned over. Turned out to be a small FIRE!!! looks somewhat under the header area. Small little flame until you crank it and then gets bigger. I’m assuming because fan blew and gave O2?? My question: is there a fuel Line that runs by there that maybe is cracked? Trying to figure out where the fuel source for the fire came from. Someone mentioned a leaking injector but stents those on top of engine over the valve cover? How would gas be under be the headers? No obvious sign of gas leaking or smell of raw gas. Not sure how to deal with this. Afraid to even drive to a shop

Do not start or drive the car until you find the leaks and replace rotten rubber hoses. There are hoses on the top of the engine near the fire wall. Fuel could be leaking down from there. If you can't fix it yourself then have it towed to a shop. An engine fire is not pretty and very dangerous.

Just ordered the kit for my 74. Is the check valve included? I'm not seeing it in the photo. Thanks so much!

Hi Dan, Sorry we have no source for that. Not even sure if it is made. You might check with the Mercedes Classic Center or used on eBay.

Why doesnt anyone address the 450sl Fuel Pressure Damper ? Doesnt it also need to be replaced?

@Mercedessource

The fuel damper is a hollow can. Nothing inside can fail. So, it can be cleaned up and reused. If it leaks, it will have to be replaced, but new ones are not available.
