« Rick, follow your headers along (I don't know your particular model) you probably have two and where they join, to a single exhaust pipe you will see the little bugger sticking up... often there is.. »
« If it is like mine, it is on the right side exhaust pipe just as it comes out of the exhaust manifold. It is on the top of the pipe and hard to see. »
« I couldn't find it probably 'cause a '84 560 SEL doesn't have any O2 sensors at all. »
« If you have original cat. you will have two of them... big one is obvious... and then there is another smaller one by the starter... closer to engine. You should see a wire there going into the mi.. »

1984 500 SEL Euro The fuel pump makes a somewhat loud hissing noise, like there is a leak, but there is no leak to be found at all, I have checked the fuel lines and all. It almost sounds like its being strained, is this a sign of a soon to be failure? Or is it normal. The car runs good and doesn'..
« It is probably both the fuel pump and fuel pump relay. The age of the car is now 23... I think that is super long life for fuel pump. »

1984 500 SEL. There is a oil leak somewhere under the car, looks like right where the transmission connects to the engine. Its all covered in oil. I dont know what it could be. I also have a bad motor mount as well. How much trouble would it be to pull the engine to correct the leaks. I would like..

1984 500 SEL euro .Car quit the other day (ran out of gas, and my fuel gauge doesnt work). I didnt think it was gas though, because I just changed the fuel filter, so I figured maybe something came loose. Nothing was, but a wire going towards the fuel pump (positive i think) was hot. I mean so hot..
« Sounds like fuel pump is toast. Draw too much current and thus makes the wire hot... this also means the fuel pump relay is toast also... as the relay is stuck on... which is why you felt the hot .. »
« The fuel pump works fine though. The car ended up being out of gas and runs fine. »
« Perhaps a clogged fuel filter. It swallowed the dirt from the empty tank bottom. That's one of the reasons not to let run dry an old car. -- Roland Franzius »
« If only one wire was hot, remove it and clean it and the post it came off of. Heat at one spot usually means a poor connection. Paul »
