Thank you I love this car

Power seats were only offered in the s-class starting in 1981. The 300 D was the lower model basically it's the modern e class. Power seats were considered a luxury item only reserved for the top-tier vehicles.

Yeah they're really great cars.

Thank you.

Those older chassis diesel cars are too slow to drive in modern-day traffic. That's why we focus on the 1978 model and up through 1995.

@@woodsandbarclay Got it!

Yeah it would be a reliable daily driver Chuck but there's a lot of things you need to do to a 40 year old car to make them ready to be daily driven. The main three things are all new front suspension components, all new brake calipers and hose, and go through the climate control and AC system. You also want to check the fuel tank to make sure it's clean and probably change the fuel tank strainer

On the 116 chassis you also want to change out the original climate control servo. You can buy these units from www.mbdiesel1.com/ He rebuilds the servos with aluminum housings.

Thank you so much that the Benz has no heat but ice cold ac do you know how that can be fixed you are a legend for this information thank you so much.

@@12chuck397 like I mentioned in the previous comment you're going to need to change out the climate control servo and make sure the vacuum system is working. There is also an auxiliary water the passenger side that needs to work correctly.

Yes I've heard the same thing keeps the turbo from coking. I'm not really sure how important that is though because there's cars out there with hundreds of thousands of miles on them and nobody ever does this.

Diesel engines are much more reliable and easier to work on. The last thing you ever have to worry about with a classic diesel Mercedes is the engine. Gas cars are high-maintenance and finicky. The diesel engine is really just a superior design.

Thank you :)
