In the Garage – Filters and Air Cleaner Mounts for Mercedes

New mounts and the remnants of the old ones.

At 195,300 miles, I replaced the two fuel filters, the air filter, and the air cleaner mounts on the 1982 Mercedes 300D.

The clear, inline filter was showing some crud and was turning an unsavory color, so I replaced it with a new one, and replaced the cartridge filter at the same time. I think the last tank or so of diesel I got had been sitting around at the pump for a while, so I probably grab some more additive to pour in with the next tank.

The air cleaner mounts are pretty simple, but two of the three had sheared. In this state the air cleaner did a wakka wakka hula with rattle-knock on the side. With luck, these new mounts will last, but since I got them from FCP Euro, they came with a lifetime warranty!

Also adjusted the steering box in effort to isolate the pull to the right. Maybe helped?
