How much does it cost to repair a Mercedes 300D?
Plan on spending about $500 if the cruise control isn’t working correctly. Also, be aware that they require valve adjustments every 15K miles (about $150 each). Expect to spend in the $5-10K range for a good driver (not a show car), and don’t be surprised if it costs you about $1000 per year for the usual “old car nits.”
Is it safe to buy a Mercedes 300D?
Also, the realistic fuel mileage is in the mid-20s, these are not economy cars (they weigh about 4000 pounds loaded). Don’t let me discourage you, these are very cool cars, IMHO they are the last of the high quality benz sedans. However, do not buy one if you are trying to save money.
What’s the best way to charge a Mercedes Benz?
If you can avoid jump starting a Mercedes-Benz that’s even better. The safest option would be to use a trickle charger to slowly charge your battery and bring it to normal operation. If you have the time, connect a 12 Volt Battery Trickle Charger to your battery and let it charge for a few hours.

Is it bad to replace vacuum line on Mercedes 300D?
The vacuum lines become old and brittle with age and can cause all sorts of gremlins from door locks to engine shut off. Fortunately the vacuum system is (relatively) easy to diagnose and repair. Vacuum lines, elbows and T’s are easy to replace. Even if the vacuum pump is worn out, it’s not a bad repair.
How can I tell if my Mercedes 300d is rust free?
Start with a vehicle that has a rust free body and under carriage. Next, run a compression test on all five cylinders. Good compression is paramount on a diesel engine. These cars use vacuum extensively. The vacuum lines become old and brittle with age and can cause all sorts of gremlins from door locks to engine shut off.
